Dinesh D'Souza

[Banana]

I'll give very few of his passages some credit but he has some really crackheaded ideas and basically give whites a clean slate for every racist thing they've done in the past.

Several things I've noticed:

Racism is made because we choose to see it as race. IE: If someone calls you a gook, why not lump it as a general insult instead of a racial insult?

Slavery wasn't really based on racism but economics is another idea that he throws around.

Anyone's ideas?

[hooligan]

Isn't he kind of conservative, I remember there was this debate between him and Frank Wu.

[Banana]

Kind of? You're talking about a guy that doesn't believe white racism exists anymore and ended after blacks started protesting?! Also, he believes that anti-discrimination and the civil rights act is holding black people back.

Yeah and Lynching is just misplacing people on branches of a tree.

[kitty]

yes. he's basically your typical hyper-conservative minority immigrant. his opinions are standard right-wing fare.

Economics based on racism, yes.

[AliBabaIncorporated]

Whatever, there's thousands of hyper-liberal minority immigrants spouting standard left-wing fare, whose basic purpose in the political debate is to make white suburban liberals feel like they're "not racist" cuz look at all those cute little brown people who believe in their ideas. Having two on the right seems only fair enough, even if they get annoying as fuck sometimes.

[Balthus Dire]

He wrote the book "the end of racism" and he appeared on a lot of little TV talk shows. I don't like him because his "ideologies" are easy to "buy into" for a society that is already full of borderline racists. People can use his arguments as basis for their contempt of the Black people in fact that book made it appear as if the Black people are the only people b1tchin about racism esp. in the USA. He's a scumbag, but he's getting some major dollars for his ability to "suck up" to the people he thinks is in charge. The funny thing is that when people go to America like that, they never go to the rural deep south or the rural mid west before they spit some "..racism doesn't exist" crap. They always stay in the comfort of multicultural environments or snug in beverly hills or marina del rey whatever. He's WAK.

[Mr.Lum]

He's very conservative. He's a fellow at the Hoover Institution which is extremely conservative as well. I read his Reagan book, it's mostly propaganda. I wouldn't use it as a reference (which I had origanally intended to but I think it would have been a questionable source). On his view of black people, its basically that because they view slave rebellion and the civil rights movement as a positive thing, it has made them perpetually rebellious and unable to settle into the new nonracist American society because they believe, he says, that rebellion and defiance are good things. This is harmful to them because it makes them have low self esteem and believe they are being "picked on" by whites. "Discrimination" he says, is the result of the "bad attitude" that black people have because of glorifying rebellion against [white] power structures.

like whom? anyone as well known as Dinesh?

hell, you barely hear from left-wing black pundits, let alone minority immigrant left wing pundits. it's an unfortunate truth about the left-wing. the pundits tend to be white, and those on the right are trotted around because of their colour like pet monkeys.

[asvenus]

i love that kind of shit...like when ive been racially abused/discriminated against its because of my 'bad black attitude'...yesss of course..silly me..i mean nothing to do with the white power structures themselves... :rolleyes:

LOL @ 'pet monkeys'...with a pretty little attitude to match their pretty little bell round thie neck...

[Mr.Lum]

Don't also forget the glories of colonialism, and how India was civilized by the hand of their great Aryan over lords from Britain.

My thoughts exactly.
I wonder what kind of qualifications he has to speak about such subjects? His website says that he graduated from Dartmouth college but it doesn't say what degree or field of study. My guess is he got a bachelor's in business or economics. You have these academic fields where the literature is very limited to a conservative flavor. People get these degrees and then feel themselves qualified to talk about the solutions to all of society's problems.

Dinesh D'Souza is a disgrace to all Indians worldwide. Its interesting to note that this guy has never appeared in front of Indians and spouted his pro-colonial crap. If he did, there would have been a mob of people ready to kill him....lol

I was reading about Deepak Chopra in Time yesterday. Do yall like him?
