On the Oscar Surprise, Derek points out,
“I had the misfortune of seeing Oprah at my mother’s house today. It was all about the Oscars and black entertainers. It made me sick. They were all discussing how great it was that blacks are now so dominant at the Oscars. I kept asking myself why? I think that it is because they think that they are replacing us. In order for them to get in to where we are someone has to let them in. They know that now. They want what we have. That is the bottomline that only they are talking about, other than the few of us that are out here on the web. Our opinions are not allowable in public. Theirs are. ”
Comment by Derek
Blacks get in where they can ride in with whites. Harry Potter’s steadily increasing minorities in the school if an example.
The first Star Wars had NO non-whites in it.
Sequels require racial balance.
Yes, we are not allowed to say we want to watch whites.
But everybody, worldwide, wants to watch whites. Baywatch was the most ppular TV show ON EARTH.
Now to the coaching session:
NEVER forget the Hispanic celebration at that World Series game, where all the Hispanic glags were out and the speaker started out by greeting all his Hispanic brothers, inside the United States and in other countries.
So much for we’re all Americans.
This bears repeating, and I think you know by now what Whitaker means by repetition.

I remember two things that you said previously that have stuck out in my mind: what if a white man had started addressing all his white brothers? You know that deal with that one.
The second thing that struck me as I was driving today was this: everything comes in waves. In economics we have learned that all economies go through changes and fluctuations. You have to know when to ride them out – just like in surfing.
I used to get really worked up over the race issue. I still do really. But I try and remember that you just have to ride it out. It can be depressing, but that is life.
