CBS DIDN'T STOP HIM...THIS IS GREAT!

Surprised CBS let him get away with this even though he's right

Right on, Andy Rooney !
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 L ISTENING 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 ou r 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 vill age 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 piercing 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...
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

Andy Rooney didn't say any of this. First, it is full of distortions and exaggeration. It's pitiful people have the mind set to accept this crap. Second, Andy Rooney denounced it bitterly:

[BadBob]

Too bad he did not really say it. Every word is true!

[yeppp]

every word is true. I get SOOO tired of hearing about slavery. Nobody has been more mistreated than the Indians, it is terrible what happened to them.
btw has anyone ever thought that their own people sent them over here?

[webster]

Whoever said it they did a good job.

[just asking]

does anybody remember reading about any failed rescue attempts when the people in africa came to take the slaves back?? didn't think so!!

[just asking]

nopeeee

[outlaw josie]

there are good blacks as well as whites,reds,yellows and all the mixtures we now have in this small town.I am Irish with a little blackfoot indian in my bloodline so I am mixed also.I believe as Malcolm X that the races show remain pure.Why does every black boy think they have to have a white girlfriend or girlfriends as most do anymore?Do they strive to be white?Does it give them a sense of control over the white race?I am very surprised in this community that someone already has not been shot over this.The white boys are starting to date the black girls now.Guess there are so many available now.If it was love or really wanting to have a life with the giel it would not be so bad but its just a bunch of thugs going from one w girl to the next even passing them on to their friends next when they change girls. IT MAKES ME SICK!I have several good black friends and they think about the same way.At the favorite market one morning a black man was bumming money from everyone that went in the store when a black friend of mine told him to get a dam job get off the shit and quit giving the black race a bad reputation.If more people thought that way it would be a better place to live.I am tired of all the racial bull that u hear everytime a white man farts..

Why does this stuff make you feel good?
AS Jesus says,
"You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."
But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you."

[Webster]

Baby J didn't say all that. I think you mixed some Indian stuff in there.

[outlaw josie]

just twisted it to suit his self.go to the favorite market and give everyone everything they ask of you and you will be living on the street with the crack dealers yourself.this world is going to hell in a handbasket.com e to the BURG and see whats going on here and leave Pasadena for a week you will leave with more than your cheeks slapped

[hooha]

All races are mixed there is or never was any pure race. all 8 billion on earth people came from one person,that has been traced back scientifically through mitochodrial DNA.Apparently the person putting words in Mr Rooneys mouth does not know his American history,lets just pick a year 1950 how may people of African descent recieved a grant from the govt.to go to school or owned a television station , magazine company or even got to paticipate in a miss america pagent? The bottom line is all of those institutions were for caucasions only it just was'nt called that.Afican americans by creating these things only wanted to be part of america not separate from it .I dont even want to comment on the rest of your forum because most of it is just so stupid , You are a very opinionated person and that is great, but before you put words in somebody elses mouth and show your ignorance please do some research .

[color blind]

alot of these posts are ignorant.it takes two people to date josie,so evidently the caucasian girls WANT to date the african american boys.alot of time they treat them better than the caucasian boys do.how many african american boys have been on the news for murdering their caucasian girlfriends-seems the caucasian boys are the ones doing it.maybe you need to realize that caucasian people also run around this town begging or stealing in order to continue their drug habits as well.this town needs to worry about cleaning up the drugs and then see how much improvement follows afterwards.

[just asking]

It is a status symbol for a balck man to get a tropphy white girl, especially if she is blonde hair and blue eyed, or so I have been told!
Not sure what the girls is thinking!! duhhh
