When we need the opinion of an anchor baby like you, we’ll come slap it out of you.

HAHA….lessthanintolerant is a good name for you, if that is how you feel…I got a few more…lessthanignorant….lessthanhumane….lessthanChristian….lessthanAmerican !!!

You’re a pig.

Some people need to get their finger out of their butt so their brain can get some oxygen!

Just think, if all those AFRICAN went home you probably would have been a running back in the supper bowl yesterday, or maybe even in the WHITE HOUSE

@Lessthan- I agree with you.Ilo0ok forward to a revolution. Then we can wipe out you and your kind. Been a long time since I had a chance to shoot at another human being legally.

You sir are a idiot.

Why can’t you believe it? If they think like Rush Limpbrain, then they will most likely listen to him and agree with him! Very simple, but sad fact.

According to Condaliza Rice, if her father did not have a shot gun to protect their family from the Democratic KKK in Alabama during the civil rights movement she probably would not be alive today.

First, I want to thank you for contributing to the public discourse after a lifetime of public service. When I taught in public schools, I knew many children whose family members were incarcerated, and some children for whom I had hopes who were, later, themselves incarcerated. Of course these families must change, as I wish the institutions that support them would, especially the two you and I both worked within.

As I am sure you are aware, not all African American families fail in the tasks you so wisely point to as an absolute necessity: raising children in solid families. My college roommate at a Lutheran university in the 60s came from a solid African American family, with three children, the first of whom was going to college (same as me–and I am white). Her father was retired from a business position (my father worked in business), and her mother was a nurse, like mine. We both graduated the same year.

In the seventies and eighties, while going to graduate school, I taught part-time in the Chicago Public Schools, where I worked with many African American families who were doing all they could to help their children graduate in a broken educational bureaucracy for which Chicago citizens of all races were to blame. Some black children who came from single-parent homes had more supports from an extended, involved family (and church) than white children who came from homes where there was a nuclear family, self-destructing nevertheless from drug or alcohol abuse and domestic violence.

I welcomed the transformations of the Civil Rights era and the contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and many other black men and women, who triumphed in a non-violent crusade that changed the entire nation for the better. Now, I am enraged, along with many others of every race, to hear the same voices that led to violence in the sixties re-emerging on extremist talk radio and Fox News, in many ways finding representation within the Republican party. It is the twenty-first century, and voices like ours are still necessary. Thanks for speaking up.

It’s already written, Ogamba. Go to The Constitution and the New Jim Crow. It explains it all.

Ogamba, please use lower case. Upper case means you are shouting and it is hard to read. Thank you.

Unfortunately, one can hardly call what goes on in such a mind “thinking.” It’s more like a loop of far right talking points that gets refreshed every few days when Mr. Ward takes out an old one and puts in a new one, freshly minted within the Republican bubble. Mr. Ward gets these talking points from the extremist commentators he listens to on the airwaves and Fox News, maybe even CNN, which has become what I call Fox News Lite. He could even read the local newspaper, if it’s like ours here in Iowa.

This week’s talking points have to do with putting an NRA twist on the role of the KKK in bringing about Black History Month. The new talking point does not condemn gun violence or racial hatred, but blames African Americans in the Civil Rights era for not being more like the KKK, gun-toting xenophobes intent on racial genocide.

During the observation of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday and the second inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama, just two weeks ago, our local right-leaning newspaper put a one-page ad for a gun show on the other said of a picture of King and a long, dull biography, probably picked up from some newsfeed. When you hold up the page to read the biography, the gun show ad bleeds through Martin Luther King’s face, the image of the leader of the Civil Rights Movement who was assassinated with a rifle.

It is not illegal to lie on the air waves. The FCC is just a retirremnt home, not a watchdog.

Only a racist can come with idiot idea like that.

Robert, being from Idaho, I must give a little correction here. Potato is spelled potato. Dam Quale was wrong.

Well Robert all of your counter parts are not like you. Thank you for understanding. You are right. All we want as African Americans is equal opportunity and fairness. I think the other side is threaten by that. It’s not right. We deserve as a people to have whatever we choose to have just like everyone else, That’s all. That’s Why when we are Bulked, we fight for what we want. All the way through history we have fought to be where we are today, and still fighting so our children will have what we couldn’t. If we had a lot more people like you Robert this world might turn around.

robert that is an excellent post. Nearly 100,000 Black soldiers fought in the Civil War. They were forbidden to advance above a certain rank. They were not paid. After the war, they were not recocnized, given medals they deserved, or given pensions. In one instance, A White batalian was trapped, without food, and the enemy was on all sides. The Black batalian came in and rescued them.

When discriminatory factors go away in our society, we’ll get over it. It could start with the GOP not trying to take away my right to vote!

Not sure you’re comparing apples to apples here. Unless school curriculums have changed a great deal since I was in school some 60 plus years ago, children learn white history as part of their normal education; and to some degree, I believe that includes
at least some native American history too. How many schools in your town teach black history?

I think that old bus looks pretty cool too. (of course it’s old, and I like old) hehehe

So true, my understanding of the Bible is that NO ONE, regardless of race, gender, mental capacity, sexual preference is condemned by Christ. We could remind them of the Bible verse “Love thy neighbor”.

Ella, you know what makes it sad? People tend to seek our media that reinforces thier belief system.
