* Who gave us the black plague? A white guy.
* Who invented PBC, PVC, PBB, and a host of chemicals that are killing us? White guys.
* Who has started every war America has been in? White men.
* Who is responsible for the programming on FOX? White men.
* Who invented the punch card ballot? A white man.
* Whose idea was it to pollute the world with the internal combustion engine? Whitey, that's who.
* The Holocaust? That guy really gave white people a bad name (that's why we prefer to call him a Nazi and his little helpers Germans).
* The genocide of Native Americans? White man.
* Slavery? Whitey!
* About 20 percent of young black men between the ages of sixteen and twenty- four are neither in 'school nor working- compared with only 9 percent of young white men. Despite the "economic boom" of the nineties, this percentage has not fallen substantially over the last ten years.
* In 1993, white households had invested nearly three times as much in stocks and mutual funds and/or IRA and Keogh accounts as black households. Since then, the stock market has more than doubled its value.
* Black heart attack patients are far less likely than whites to undergo cardiac catheterization, a common and potentially lifesaving procedure, regardless of the race of their doctors. Black and white doctors together referred white patients for catheterization about 40 percent more often than black patients.
* Whites are five times more likely than blacks to receive emergency clot-busting treatment for stroke.
* Black women are four times more likely than white women to die while giving birth.
* Black levels of unemployment have been roughly twice those of whites since 1954.
Every time they catch a serial killer, it's a crazy white guy. Every time a terrorist blows up a federal building, or a madman gets four hundred people to drink Kool-Aid, or a Beach Boys songwriter casts a spell causing half a dozen nymphets to murder "all the piggies" in the Hollywood Hills, you know it's a member of the white race up to his old tricks.
ok so this is a great example of why you should never listen to morons or ideologues (like michael moore/rush limbaugh)
the black plague was not "given to us by a white guy," it came from a bacterium and was spread by fleas
and apparently it's origins actually go back to china
heres a link:

pvc and the combustion engine, ect - does mm like the fact that he can walk into the kitchen or bathroom and turn on the sink?
or that he can water his lawn in the evening?
or that someone can mow it for him while he is jet hopping around the country shooting his mouth off?
if so, then he should stf about pvc and engines or invent something better
who has started every war america has been in?
well some might say the japanese started one, but not every war was wrong for us to be involved in anyway
there wouldnt even be an america if it werent for a war
and yes i agree that americas leaders have historically been white, but that changes more and more with every generation and youre going to see the same kinds of mistakes from every race
fox programming?
sure, the programmers at fox are white, so was sir isaac newton, was it being white that made the difference?
the punch card ballot?
from: http://whatis.techtarget.com/reference/History-of-the-punch-card
"The standard punched card, originally invented by Herman Hollerith, was first used for vital statistics tabulation by the New York City Board of Health and several states. After this trial use, punched cards were adopted for use in the 1890 census."
the company he created is now called IBM and while i do have critiques of it, it has undeniably done some useful stuff - in fact i would say that IBM has done way more useful stuff than mm, really
slavery goes back to the Sumerians of Mesopotamia (and very likely further but thats as far back as history takes us) and every race has engaged in it
white poeple also fought against the holocaust and other races commit genocide as well:
i was going to list one or two for every race but here, this is easier (read it!)

there are known genetic and racial factors to many illnesses, this does not make white people bad lol its goddam genetics, and its got no moral implications
mm is a moron
"About 20 percent of young black men between the ages of sixteen and twenty- four are neither in 'school nor working- compared with only 9 percent of young white men. Despite the "economic boom" of the nineties, this percentage has not fallen substantially over the last ten years."
this is a tough one because there ARE societal factors involved in black poverty, and poverty is the source of all kinds of ills, including drugs and crime to a great degree
but when mm (or anyone else) simplifies this into "white people are evil" what he achieves is simply adding fuel to fire of social contention; he half ass identifies a problem and then goes on to misdirect attention away from actual solutions
basically, whites are statistically more likely to be affluent thank blacks, and the history of slavery and then discrimination against blacks is absolutely the single greatest factor of this, but just as whites have been the cause of the problem, so too have there always been whites working to change it, and so too are there blacks who dont
people with money get better medical treatment and have better access to opportunities for more money
the real equalizer in america is money, and so if you want to promote equality in america the key is in doing whatever it takes to ensure that all people can make a good living for themselves as a result of discipline and talent
you cannot generalize by race because within every race there is great degree of personal differences and no single label will apply to every person of any race, except the obvious label of the race itself (i.e. yes all white people are white, but no, all white people are not evil)
so, dont be a racist, and dont promote racist propaganda
