Andy Rooney said on '60 Minutes' a few weeks back:
'I don't think being a minority
makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The
only things I can think of that are truly
discriminatory are things like the United Negro
College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment
Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have
things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud
Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss
White America ; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson
will be knocking down your door.
Guns do not make you a killer. I
think killing makes you a killer. You can kill
someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is
trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the
Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no
girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE
YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE ?
I
think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is
not a phobia, it is an
opinion..
I have the right 'NOT' to be
tolerant of others because they are different,
weird, or tick me off.
When 70%
of the people who get arrested are black, in cities
where 70% of the population is black, that is not
racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability.
I believe that if you are
selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a
newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in
English! As a matter of fact, if you want to
be an American citizen, you should have to speak
English!
My father and
grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the
countries you were born in to come over and
disrespect ours.
I think the
police should have every right to shoot you if you
threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you
can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop' in
English, see the above lines..
I
don't think just because you were not born in this
country, you are qualified for any special loan
programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax
breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop,
trinket store, or any other business.
We did not go to the aid of
certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars
to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they
could come over here and tell us our constitution is
a living document; and open to their
interpretations.
I don't hate
the rich I don't pity the poor
I
know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and
television. That doesn't stop you from watching
them.
I think Bill Gates has
every right to keep every penny he made and continue
to make more. If it ticks you off, go and
invent the next operating system that's better, and
put your name on the building.
It doesn't take a whole village
to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to
stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds
when necessary, and say 'NO!'
I
think tattoos and piercings are fine if you want
them, but please don't pretend they are a political
statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip
ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly
infected mouth as you serve me French fries!
I am sick of 'Political
Correctness.' I know a lot of black people, and not
a single one of them was born in Africa
so how can they be 'African-Americans'?
Besides, Africa
is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a
European-American because my great, great, great,
great, great, great grandfather was
from
Europe.
I am proud to be from America
and nowhere else.
And if you
don't like my point of view, tough...

Unfortunately (fortunately, actually), it's not the truth. It's not that clever or funny either.

Fine, but would you want someone attributing things to you that you didn't say let alone agree with? Take Rooney's name down! Read his response on

my grandparents sent me an email a month ago purportedly from bill cosby saying he will be a write in candidate for president and then with like 13 things that would be his platform. not only were they hateful but they were quite ignorant. so i hit up the snopes, and what do you know? it wasn't written by cosby and he didn't agree with it. i feel bad that people perpetuate these things but such is life. _________________ (formerly) 1993 k1100rs |

See the problem there?
Incredibly ignorant.

Personally I agree with very little in that particular diatribe, the bits I do agree with are cancelled out by the racist crap in the rest of it.
I find it bulging with ignorance about who we are and where we all come from, jingoistic, simplistic and most of all arrogant.
I don't know who wrote it and don't much care but it saddens me that there still dinosaurs around who can't see beyond the end of their own self-obsessed noses (forgive the mixed metaphors!).
