Really, really appreciate your comments. I’m an afro-american man. Regardless, I can understand the US Atty General’s honorable (but painful) effort to ‘knock some sense’ in to us all regarding race relations; however, Don’t agree with his method. RE: It seems to have cause too much hurt in people who are not racists. I personally view racism, sexism and every other form of facism as the driving force of evil on this planet. Facism (i.e. racism, sexism) is about power over others for benefit of people other than those ‘others’. Not sure how to put an end to it in a civilized manner; however, I believe the will to do so exists within a great number of people worldwide.

All the best to you, and yours.

In a time when everyone in the limelight is held accountable for what they say and do (just ask Imus, Michael Vic, Michael Phelps, Glenn Beck) Eric Holder should apologize for calling the nation cowards. Or are a new set of rules for what is acceptible being written for those in office, both appointed and elected, even as we speak?

Never mind that Roosevelt, our sainted leader in the depths of the Great Depression, claimed we had nothing to fear but fear itself. But then, what did he know? He was a rich white guy.

Uh, oh. I’ve stumbled again into the briar patch of our black and white world.

There are plenty of sites that you can visit where you can interface with people who do nothing OTHER than talk about race.

Google for White Supremacist and Christian Identity sites.

You don’t get it, do you?

You and Holder may have an obsession about melanin, but that doesn’t in any way mean that we have to share your hang-ups.

Again, how often did you see the Huxtables sitting around discussing their Blackness and what it meant to be Black in America, and haranguing their friends and co-workers about past injustices done to Black people?

Not very often, if at all. Their characters just got on with their lives.

What did Lovie Smith say when he was asked about his feelings oon being the first African-American to coach a Super Bowl team?

W2TEO:

“It’ll be a big deal when it’s no big deal.”

Get over it, man.

I’ll tell you a little “White secret”…usually as soon as a Black man opens his mouth and starts talking about race, White folks,(of all political suasions),mentally roll their eyes.

And I suspect that there’s more than a few Black folks who do the EXACT SAME THING.

Yes, there’s a lot of ugliness in the past, but you’re living in the present, and are going to inhabit the future.

How can you change the ugliness of the past, except by adding ugliness to the present so that the past seems a more desirable place to have lived?

” Please people, when you look at the incareration rates,”

Young Black men are most at risk of getting murdered by OTHER young Black men.

We should decriminalize same-race homicide?

BTW has anyone seen an employment ad for a ‘Black Studies’ major?
~~~~~~

It’s right next to the ad for the “women’s studies” major.

If you take some leather clad Hell’s Angles along, you’d be perfectly safe.

Honestly, Have you EVER heard of PETA protesting Hell’s Angles to their faces? No? they’d get their heads handed to them. It’s much safer to attack little old ladies.
