<p>Haha. I saw it on C-Span, it was hilarious. This happened a looooong time ago...but the matter of the fact is, nobody really listened to him.</p>
<p>sounds like a louis farrakhan to me.</p>
<p>The funny thing is that this was barely a footnote in the news. I wonder what would happen if a white guy said this about black people...</p>

<p>Ever hear of the KKK?</p>
<p>"Ever hear of the KKK?"</p>
<p>Sure, there's the KKK. But everybody expects it from them; when they say it, it's 100 year-old news. </p>
<p>What if a white man, much like Kamau Kambon -- let's say, a largely unknown former university professor -- went on about the virtues of exterminating the black race, live on C-SPAN? I think you and I both know what would happen; in any case, it would garner a hell of a lot more media attention than Kambon's rant received (which was practically nothing). </p>
<p>Aren't liberals like you supposed to get all worked up over issues of inequality? Well, that's exactly what I see in our culture: a big, fat double-standard. If we go ape whenever a white person unexpectedly voices racism (Michael Richards, anyone?), we should get just as vocally angry when a black person does it. But we don't -- not by a long shot.</p>
<p>Why must it aways come down to liberals and conservatives?</p>

<p>I don't know who the black dude who said that was, but he looks pretty "out there" to me. I think he could pass for a bum or a witch doctor. My point is that this is not Jesse Jackson or another mainstream black activist making such an outrageous statement.</p>
<p>Life is not fair. Get over it.</p>

<p>Fides et Ratio, I can tell that know nothing about how our society works.</p>
