My Conversation with a Racist
The following is my conversation with the
Racists Billy Roper. This conversation
started from my disagreement with the NAACP in their effort to label various
Racists individuals as Tea Party “Leaders.”
Billy Roper, head of the Arkansas based White Revolution, responded to
my tweet. This is that strange
conversation…
From me on 10/20/2010 - NAACP in regards 2 Extremists in the
Tea Party. we have a problem when the majority of the TP stand silent &
doesn't condemn that behavior.
From me on 10/20/2010 - Would the NAACP release the same
statement about moderate Muslims.
From me on 10/20/2010 - The NAACP is rt. Moderates must always
stand up 2 extremists. But the 6 individuals the NACCP lists as Tea Party
extremists R not TP leaders
I
feel that these are very valid questions.
I have not heard or seen (I even Googled it) the NAACP discuss the need
for moderate Muslims to stand up against the radicals in their religion. The Tea Party did stand up to these crazy
racists, but only after pressure from various groups including the NAACP. To be fair, I do give credit to the
NAACP. Racists and the groups that
support them must be exposed, but I think it is more likely that Tea Party was
not aware of or chose to ignore these individuals. Probably, they thought that if they exposed
them that the media would try to cast the shadow of racism from these
individuals over the entire party. That
and the party is and was very decentralized with no single leader or actually
any real leader at all.
From me on 10/20/2010 - Have you heard of Billy Roper and Karen
Pack. Are they really "leaders" in the movement if we have never
heard of them?
I
had never head of this idiot until I read the NAACP report. They were never leaders in the movement.
From Billy Roper on 10/20/2010 - @RightofCenterAm

I
was very surprised that he would respond to my tweet. After Googling him and his organization, I
was disgusted by him and angry at the NAACP for linking him to the Tea
Party. It proves how partisan and unfair
the NAACP has become since the 1970s.
From me on 10/20/2010 - everyone shoud
stand up to racists RT @RoperBilly: @RightofCenterAm

Billy Roper on 10/26/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
Is Jim Keet a racist since he is an advisory board member of the racist United
Negro College Fund?
I
had to do a quick search for Jim Keet. I
did not find anything to suggest that he is a racists or even an
extremist. One does not have to read too
deep into Roper’s Tweet to see where is trying to go. The United Negro college fund is a private
organization that has been set-up to help a group of Americans that are and
have historically been disadvantaged. This
disadvantage has come from many factors including our history of slavery and
racism that has created an economical and educational cycle of destitute.
Jim
Keet is not quite the same as someone who sees superiority in the color of one’s
skin.
From me on 10/26/2010 - @RoperBilly what? No! 140 characters is not enuf
to explain how crazy you are. A private org that funds less fortunate is a good
thing.
Billy Roper on 10/26/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
So you'd have no problem with a United White People's College Fund, to be fair?
From me on 10/26/2010 - @RoperBilly if whites had a graduation rate 20%
lower than blacks. No different than college funds for poor, disabled, or smart
young adults
Billy roper can start a United White
People’s College Fund if he wants. The
problem is, I suspect that he would be able to raise about $15 per year and the
only applicants for college scholarships wouldn’t be accepted into
college.
From me on 10/26/2010 - @RoperBilly poor education is a soft bigotry that
must be corrected. Education is the key to ensuring America's greatness.
Billy Roper on 10/27/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
You cannot correct inequality of genetics through education. Can you educate a
poodle to be a pit bull, or vice-versa?
A
lack of education and ignorance breed racists.
A lack of understanding what you have learned breeds ignorance. If we all come from Africa and the Middle
East, how can lighter skinned individuals be superior to darker skinned
individuals?
From
me on 10/27/2010 - @RoperBilly
you really are a worthless individual and contribute nothing of value for
society.
I was just disgusted with this guy.
Billy Roper on 10/27/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
My views on race are the same as Thomas Jefferson's.
So, after more than 200 years, you have not
evolved or learned anything? As a
political philosopher, Thomas Jefferson was brilliant. That does not make him an expert on anything else.
Billy Roper on 10/27/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
But at least I'm not an anonymous liberal with a purposeful misnomer and an
ignorance of history and genetics, eh?
From me on 10/27/2010 - @RoperBilly I'm now liberal because I'm not
racist?By your lack of logic, 99.999999% of Americans who vote for GOP are
liberal.Ur an idiot.
From me on 10/27/2010 - @RoperBilly I'm always willing to listen to
opposing arguments in pursuit of knowledge but In this issue I am sure that I
am 100% correct.
Billy Roper on 10/27/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
By our founding fathers standards, you are the one who is undeducated or
embarrassingly naive. Weze all beze equalZ, eh?
Racists
can always find an obscure, out-of-context quote that supports their view. America’s founding Fathers were brilliant
political philosophers, but they didn’t know what wasn’t known.
Billy Roper on 10/27/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
So you disagree with Thomas Jefferson on the issue? And Abraham Lincoln? And
forensic anthropology? And human history?
From me on 10/27/2010 - @RoperBilly yes. I certainly disagree with human
history. Science is absolute that no race is superior to another race.
I am not sure why Roper believes that because
forensic anthropology can determine one’s superiority. Early human history would actually discount
Roper’s argument.
Billy Roper on 10/27/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
No scientific IQ tests have ever resulted in an equal end result for the races.
Nor have they contributed equally.
From me on 10/27/2010 - @RoperBilly I am certain many individuals of other
races would test with a higher IQ than you and I. Ignorance = unintelligence
Billy Roper on 10/27/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
Superiority aside, like Jefferson and Lincoln I believe that the races should
be separate physically and politically.
From me on 10/27/2010 - @RoperBilly Im not familiar w/what you refer too,
but IF you have statement suggesting as much, it was probably due to political
feasibility
From me on 10/28/2010 - @RoperBilly I am pretty sure I could find a quote
from anyone and take it out on context to make it mean whatever I want.
From me on 10/28/2010 - @RoperBilly many views throughout history have
been wrong. Views on race, gender, religion, etc. Red hair was enough to make a
witch.
From me on 10/28/2010 - @RoperBilly taking a quote about separate but
equal when this country was fighting to end slavery does not support your crazy
views.
Billy Roper on 10/28/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
You're not familar with Jefferson and Lincoln's views on race relations? That
is the epitome of ignorance.
Billy Roper on 10/28/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
Do some research, and read the full quote of Jefferson's which was edited for
his memorial. Not very well educated, are ya?
Panel One:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights,
among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure
these rights governments are instituted among men. We . . . solemnly publish
and declare, that these colonies are and of right ought to be free and
independent states. . . And for the support of this declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge our lives,
our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
Panel Two:
"Almighty God hath created the mind free. All attempts to influence it
by temporal punishments or burthens . . . are a departure from the plan of the
Holy Author of our religion . . . No man shall be compelled to frequent or
support any religious worship or ministry or shall otherwise suffer on account
of his religious opinions or belief, but all men shall be free to profess and
by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion. I know but one
code of morality for men whether acting singly or collectively."
Panel Three:
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be
secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of
God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his
justice cannot sleep forever. Commerce between master and slave is despotism.
Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people
are to be free. Establish a law for educating the common people. This it is the
business of the state and on a general plan."
Panel Four:
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions,
but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human
mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are
made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of
circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We
might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy
as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous
ancestors."
From me on 10/28/2010 - @RoperBilly even the founding fathers are wrong
about somethings. I am not a sheep, I make my own decisions. You are looking
for sheep.
Billy Roper on 10/29/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
Not looking for sheep, but wolves who don't roll over and pee themselves at the
thought of not being politically correct.
From me on 10/29/2010 - Not politically correct, I'm just
right. What happened to U to make U scared of an entire race of people?
stereotyping=stupidity
Billy Roper on 10/31/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
Maybe what bothers me are the demographic projections that the people who built
America will be a minority in it by 2050.
And
this is their real fear, isn’t it? That
America is no longer going to be predominately white. I actually look forward to everybody being a
Heinz 57. Race will be one less thing
that we have to worry about.
Billy Roper on 11/1/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
Culture is a creation of and a product of race, which is why multiculturalism
is synonymous with multiracialism.
From me on 11/1/2010 - @RoperBilly I wouldn't worry about it. In 10 more
generations, everyone will be the same color. Hienz 57. The American culture
will live on.
Billy Roper on 11/1/2010 - @RightofCenterAm
They would roll over in their graves if they saw what America has become,
something they never intended.
From me on 11/1/2010 - @RoperBilly The founding fathers died 200 years
ago. Their legacy lives on through the American people...of all races,
religions and genders
From me on 11/1/2010 - @RoperBilly the most powerful, most enlightened,
most innovative, most prosperous, most productive country on the planet. Ur
logic is flawed
After
this “conversation” with Billy roper, I am even more disgusted with the NAACP
suggesting that he is a leader in the Tea Party. He might claim to be a Tea Party member, and
may believe in their central, core value of a smaller federal government. That does not mean the Tea Party agrees with
Billy Roper any more than Progressives agree with the anarchists who are
members of the Progressive Party.
