Kane Chat
Eugene Kane participated in an online chat yesterday that was fairly interesting.Comments/questions were of 3 types:
1. Supportive fan with a non-question.
2. Person who wants to be seen by Kane as a "good person", asking non-questions to set him up for an easy affirmative comment.
3. Idiot reader who actually makes worse points than Kane does.
Here are the parts that interested me:
Q: Al of Shorewood - I know you've said in past posts that you don't bash or blame white people, yet how come race always plays a card in your colum, from Slavery, to income disparity, to health problems, to education disparities. As a leader in the black community and (as far as I know) upstanding citizen, wouldn't you like to set an example that you must look within for "salvation" and that how you try to live matters to the greater community?
A: Eugene Kane - Al I think it's unrealistic to say to blacks "Solve your problems by yourself" Because: Blacks don't own schools. they don't own the businesses. They don't run government. They don't impose taxes they don't make laws or arrest people or fight crime. Get my point? Whenever people say "It's a black problem" I answer: Then why don't we just separate into a different country? Because unless we do that, it's not just a "black problem"
Well, first of all the questioner did not say blacks should solve the problems by themselves. Secondly, he makes an amazingly ignorant statement following that. He suggests that blacks don't own schools or businesses, don't run government, don't impose taxes, make laws, arrest people or fight crime. What world is he living on??? Blacks do ALL of these things! This might be the dumbest thing he ever said, ...and that's saying a lot!
Q: dave of pell lake - millions blacks died on passage i dont think so more lies from kane
A: Eugene Kane - Dave Go to the history books. Or, get down to the America's Black Holocaust Museuem and get yourself educated
Actually, it's been pretty convincingly proven that some of the numbers thrown around about how many died en route to the US is drastically, ridiculously over stated. Quite simply, if the slave traders threw millions of blacks overboard, they never would have made any money and the slave trade would never have existed. No one throws their cargo overboard by the millions! Also, those numbers do not jive with population estimates for western Africa at the time. Kane is the one who needs some education.
Q: David Pearson of Milwaukee - I'm curious as to why you continuosly bash Bush, when Clinton made the same assumptions about WMDs when he was in office. Doesn't that make you a hypocrit?
A: Eugene Kane - David Thanks for the question, because like I tell folks all the time, it's a simple answer. CLINTON had the same bad intelligence BUSH had, but CLINTON didn't start World War III over it against the wishes of the UN. BUSH did. Hope that clears it up for you.
Clinton DID attack Iraq numerous times. Clinton did kill innocent people in those attacks. Furthermore, Kane always states that Bush lied or misled this country to go to war. Wasn't Clinton (and every other democrat and republican congressman or senator) also misleading the country? And finally, ...everyone believed the WMDs were there. Given that, Clinton decided to sit on his hands and do nothing about it. Bush decided to disarm the lunatic Saddam. In my view, this makes Bush look much much much much much much better. He made the RIGHT decision based on the evidence he had. Aside #1 Kane was against the war even when he believed WMDs existed in Iraq. Aside #2 I don't recall Kane flipping his top whenever Clinton bombed Iraq.
Q: Norma Jean Fernhaber of Wauwatosa - Why do so many people still support Bush?
A: Eugene Kane - Because BUSH has scared the pants of some folks, making them believe that there's nothing in the world except evil and he's the only one who can save us. Also, he manipulates information about terror alerts, Sept. 11, Al-Queda (spelling?) and just about everything concerning the war on terror. No wonder so many support him, he's got them convinced there's a connection between Sept. 11 and the war in Iraq. I'm not even talking about WMD yet.
This is so stupid. Bush has never said there is nothing in the world but evil. That doesn't even make sense. He's never acted like a saviour either. WHEN has Bush manipulated the terror alerts? Let's see some proof. Well, of course he has no proof, but let's see something. Tell me what terror alert was fraudulant and why? Also, Bush has never tried to convince people that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. However, the Iraq war DID happen because of 9/11. Sorry to tell you Eugene, but the world changed on that day. We could no longer afford to twiddle our thumbs while that maniac had or was developing WMDs. We couldn't let that happen, because we knew that one day he, or Al Queada, would use it against us, as was proven on 9/11. Not real hard to follow, is it?
And finally ...
Q: mark belling of milwaukee - why dont you like me
A: Eugene Kane - Your hair doesn't do it for me.
