Burial Of An Unidentified Body Sparks Racial Divisions In Texas County

The Texas Ordinance of Secession

"She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time."

"We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race."


Not much has changed in Texas.

cmp271 - it takes one to know one and you are obviously a big one. Take your hatefilled self off and find your perfect ''white'' world.
This kind of bs makes know sense.

[cmp271]

Now all we whites have to do is get the judicial system to realize whites are hated and discriminated against by black and hispanics. Maybe then whites will get justice.

Blacks are bigots. Blacks are Racists. So are hispanics!!

[whatithink-2009]

Just ridiculous. So many people think since we don''t talk about race, it doesn''t exist anymore (i.e., we live in a color-blind society). How stupid they are!

Hate to burst the racist bubble but I know more Africian Americans who are more inclined to be racist against Whites and Hispanics than the opposite.

Yeah, it''s about time that us good white people started to even up the score, right?

jmcgilvray, you couldn''t have picked a better person as an examlple for your point - an adulterer and slave owner.

And Obama thinks he has a chance...

When the tally is done, we should be able to estimate from the pre-election polls and the final count that roughly 60% of white Americans are bigots. - Posted by Nancy_Naive

Obviously wrong. Nice try, though. Racists never quit till they''re dead, do they?

Actually, somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of Americans are strongly racist with another 10 percent only mildly so. The percentages are higher in the deep south, Texas and Oklahoma than in MOST of the rest of the country, but there are large sections of states in the rest of the country which have high percentages of racists in the population.

And yes, there is racism in every racial group in the U.S. Of course, when the dominant racial group is strongly racist (relatively speaking), that automatically CAUSES racism in the non-dominant groups. Ultimately, in the U.S., racism in any racial group is the result of the prevalence of white racism.

So, yeah, hurray for racism. It''s the greatest hope we could possibly have for the ultimate destruction of America.

Who cares where they bury her! Who killed her?!?!?! What''s her name?!?!?!

"Charleston is black, Ralston is white" and they each are advancing their own differing agendas. Both are racist and bigoted.
As for the declaration that "roughly 60% of white Americans are bigots," maybe at least 50% of those just don''t trust or agree with the man''s record (or lack of), his platform, or his chameleon politics/campaign style. Responsible persons do not ignore the issues and just vote for a candidate because they are black or white.

deacon, your statement doesn''t burst any bubble, it only PROVES that racism flourishes in both races.

True, and they do it publicly. Just look at the likes of Jackson, Wright, Sharpton.

[jlagat]

Way to go Texas, making an issue about the race of a corpse. It''s 2008 and you still haven''t figured out it''s the 21st century.

And as usual the white authority that instigates or maintains the racist actions, denies his motives. Ralston is not only a bigot, he''s a coward.

[megamanx1-2009]

Wow, how much of a bigot are you when you can''t even have dead people from different races in the same cemetery..

Learn this taught at my Aunt''s knee.* There is one RACE, Barbara ,and that IS the Human race. We are all colours but one human race*. Get over it and put that lady to rest. I am whie so what it is meaningless. We can''t so much come together as a people.

[seis-6-six]

this is not news in rural texas.

[bdrlnt4rl]

and just WHO are the racists???????

[shellym1614]

Why in the hell would someone use the dead to heal racial tensions in a stupid little Texas town? Shouldn''t that be the job of the living?
I''m a Texan myself, and idiots like that, make me wish I was from somewhere else.
