“And when they do, I will be the first to congratulate them.”

One can only hope that you are not holding your breadth. The New York Times of Pinch Schultzberg is too far gone. It is also possible that the New York Post may be the more important newspaper.

Good point Velfke – the media does not save people – they report on topics that are hot and blacks made the noose hot —and where are the Jews – not even drawing the connections –I am reminded that where ever there is hatred of black people there is hatred of Jews – same enemy – yet many black people support the slave holders – Muslims — and have absorbed much of their anti semitism — this contradiction is more difficult to understand than anything a newspaper does.

This is one of many stories that have not been investigated. Despite all the news about Israel’s bombing of a site in Syria that may have contained nuclear materials supplied by North Korea, nobody has mentioned the long relationship between North Korea and Syria. Richard M. Bennett wrote in AsiaTimes online on August 18, 2006, that “25 pilots went to Syria during the 1967 war with Israel and 30 pilots to Egypt and Syria during the Yom Kippur War of 1973.” North Korea, which has no quarrel with Israel is is half a world away, was committed to the Marxist-Islamic alliance and sent its own pilots to fight Israel.
If only there were a powerful Israel lobby, this story would have been reported and followed up.

I think another take on the swastika and the noose is that Jews at one time would have shown up to protest the swastikas and now we are supine, waiting for the next kick. The reason the noose is valued more is that blacks gave veiled threats of violence if their needs were not met. Good for them. Sad for us.
