Left-wing Liberal Democrats are creating a new kind of racism in America to replace the racism of the past.

For racism to exist, one must have two or three players: the oppressed minority, and the oppressive majority, and optionally an enlightened individual or group who identifies and condemns the problem. The oppressed minority must be oppressed on the basis of race. (Rarely, one finds an oppressing minority, as in South Africa under apartheid.)

American history is stained with racism, and is adorned with the bravery of those who fought to end it.

Today, it seems that the Liberal Democrats, after opposing and even filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and then redeeming themselves by fighting for equality for many decades, are about to head down a very dangerous path.

Their problem is, having won the war, they want to keep fighting it.

There can be little doubt that the war against anti-black racism is largely won. In entertainment, sports, and every other merit based activity, blacks compete and succeed on a level playing field against whites. Nowhere is there a law that singles out blacks for disadvantageous treatment. Nowhere can a company afford a perception of disparate treatment.

As proof, note that newly arrived black immigrants -- despite the disadvantages of not knowing the language and culture -- succeed economically in America at rates indistinguishable from other races.

Those who seek out evidence of racism must continually lower the bar. Recently, the taunts of the crowd at a Lake Oswego high school basketball game were branded 'racist' -- even though critics admit they don't think the taunts were motivated by race.[1]

How can a racist act not be motivated by race? When the racism exists only in the heads of white liberals. To the colorblind students who taunted, they were merely giving as good as they had gotten; the other side had taunted similarly. To the guilt-ridden white liberal, however, blacks can never be equal -- they must always and forever be lesser, be fragile, be needy and protected by brave white liberals.

That is why the liberal white reverse-racists have invented "unintended" racism -- thought crime without the thought -- in order to maintain their own position as saviors of the oppressed.

This is more dangerous than it appears. It keeps a liberal boot on blacks, institutionalizing them as perpetual victims whose rise to equality (and thus independence) cannot be allowed. And it teaches previously colorblind youth that a double standard exists, and that colorblindness will not be tolerated. Dr. King would be appalled.

But Plato condemns the comments just the same. Lakers' fans are on hot seat by Alandra Johnson - 03/10/05 http://www.lakeoswegoreview.com/article/6629

Chicago Tribune | A question of ambition Another example: A 1983 U. of C. brain-twister put applicants in the role of a school superintendent forced to defend unavoidable budget cuts before the school board. What should be slashed--extracurricular activities such as music or athletics? Special academic programs for the gifted or handicapped? The number of schools? The number of teachers? Salaries of the district's entire staff?

Carnival Booth: An Algorithm for Defeating the Computer-Assisted Passenger Screening System In our paper, we show that although these intuitive foundations might be compelling, their implementation in CAPS is flawed. That is to say that any CAPS-like airport security system that uses profiles to select passengers for increased scrutiny is bound to be less secure than systems that randomly select passengers for thorough inspection. Using mathematical models and computer simulation, we show how a terrorist cell can increase their chances of mounting a successful attack under the CAPS system as opposed to a security system that uses only random searches. Instinct may suggest that CAPS strengthens security, but it in fact introduces a gaping security hole easily exploitable by terrorist cells.

LinuxPlanet - Tutorials - Linux Networking: Exploring Samba - The Samba Essentials Server Message Block (SMB), also known as Common Internet File System (CIFS), is one of the most common protocols for sharing files on a network. It is used with Microsoft Windows and, through Samba, a variety of other operating systems include Linux. Samba provides a way to share the contents of Linux directories with other computers and to access shared directories on a remote computer. The type of remote computer does not matter. It could be a computer running Sun Solaris or Windows NT.
