just as I suspected, and right on time by mainstream media/Jim Crow benefactors, biased reporting "magnified" and continually focused on instead of the real problem.

however, what I don't like is how mainstream media NEVER identifies the background of an elected official heavily connected to Jim Crow and the Ku Klux Klan, even when you give the media undisputable truth.

Obama's minister was also wrong to slam Hillary, or accuse her of having an "easy" time. her husband is the ONLY U.S. President to apologize for slavery, and was mocked by mainstream Americans for doing so. so Wright, of all people, should have remembered this apology and WHO it came from!

I apologize, this is a long read, it's a sit down when you have time read. But impossible to shorten hundreds of years of issues that are still unresolved.

when I saw a site a few years ago called "wewontpay.com" which was created by a European immigrant whose family immigrated to the United States during Jim Crow, I started thinking about why this person felt this way. then I started thinking: what if African-Americans, Irish, British, Asians, or any non-Germans, had migrated in mass groves to Auschwitz while Hitler was treating Jews pretty much the same way African-Americans were treated in the United States...

this is why I don't give folks like Sharpton or Farrakhan a pass when folks claim they are leaders for urban communities. seems to me the crime is the new leader, the only thing looked up to. if the good and focused kids can make it past the nonsense in their neighborhood, then they have to make it past the nonsense in college which prepares them mentally for corporate America.

got this as a text alert:

and eyes almost popped out of my head from the irony. what world are the REDs (really expensive dunces) living in???

in response to Michelle Obama's comment about being proud of her country for the first time in her adult life, Cindy McCain responded with "she's always been proud of her country". can Cindy McCain be more specific because the way I hear it leaves me to wonder if she's part of the problem and not the ACTUAL solution. I admire John McCain greatly, but this latest comment makes me wonder if it'll be nonsense status quo for an elite few if elected.

did anyone notice how the Paul states "i am the only candidate who would protect the minority against these vicious drug laws"! wow! that in itself speaks more than the comments he claims he didn't write/say. because that says to Ron Paul, "blacks are the only drug offenders, so I'm looking out
for them."

just in case history is trying to make a comeback, sharing this info which I would think is important in the Mississippi area.

Judith Barnett, granddaughter of proud Ku Klux Klansman and strong segregationist, Ross Barnett Sr., runs for judge seat in same county/city as Medgar Evers assassination. Ross Barnett Sr. was a proud supporter of Byron De La Beckwith and set the tone for hatred in Mississippi.

Joel Siegel, entertainment critic, activist, writer and more, has died of cancer.

Have you heard of Stepha Henry? Or even Phylicia Moore, or Tamika Antonette Huston? It's sad that even in 2007, this has to be discussed because it is actually an issue.
