CBS DIDN'T STOP HIM ...THIS IS GREAT!
Good for him!!!
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=2 0a 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 Un ited
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 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

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!

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having 'In God We Trust' on our money and having 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to BE QUIET!!!
 
can you post it in Engrish so maybe then I can read it :p I have been sayin the same crap for years :biggrin:

Andy Rooney said on '60 Minutes' a few weeks back:

Chris, you've been scammed!!! You have to look for clues in those chain emails that you get. When it said "a few weeks back", that was an obvious sign since no specific date was listed. Although your version is slightly off, Rooney did not author that.

Well shame on me, but the truth is I don't really care if Rooney said it or not. It's the message I agree with. :smile:
 
I'm sure if Rooney didn't write he was certainly thinking it. As most Americans with common sense would.

Minorities make up HALF of our Police Dept. Every assignment and shift is bid by senority yet the minority groups are still complaining about discrimination issues...:rolleyes:

I have been on the job for 13 years and have never once seen any minority officer discriminated against yet the Guardians (Black organization) and Hispanic society still try hanging their hat on the good old race card when they want something they could not get by senority. Fuken pathetic.

The snopes article quotes him as addressing this on 60 Minutes and said that if he could catch the person responsible, he would sue them.
