Being a Dem, a Liberal judge will give him a pass. And Libs will forget it ever happened.

Just like Barry, Jefferson, Nagin, Clinton, Kennedy . . .

Lib Judges + Dems Politicians = Corruption of Law.

Well, TxG....I''m pissed about the Jets chasing Brett Favre and not firing none of those worthless coaches.

Hes great player, but if the plays suck, then what the heck does it matter. I fear I''m going to have to become a Cowboys Fan again. AND WE DON"T WANT THAT!?!

Race is tricky conversation....too many emotions, lack of feelings about emotions and the best of...no one is listening anyway.

It''s not a forum that lends itself too easily to honesty.....yeah, honesty or the vaneer of it hurts to much.

No Tx....(1)just agreeing with you, but wondering if you''re being helpful or spiteful.

Seeing your experience with the black Prof...I dig what you mean. I, too, had the same kind of experience in a black studies class I was taking because I didn''t agree a position he took.

TxG.....I agree with you on that...and it only hurts poor, black citizens. Have they hurt themselves? Hell yeah, Tx. But I''''m wondering if you''''re happy to right (WHICH YOU ARE) or want to be just a little bit helpful.

Agree about what? I asked a question, not a statement.

I don''t know what "happy to right" means.

This is reminding me WAY TOO MUCH of another conversation I once had when I tried to be helpful by asking a question. Some seem to perceive questions as threats. Turned out the guy calling me racist names was a professor of African American studies at some college. After he finished stuffing his nu7s back in his pants, he promised to "review this entire matter at a later time." Of course I never heard back.

I think the belief that blacks think one way or the other is truly a national fallacy. We, like everyone else just don''t function that why. It''s mathimatically impossible for so many people to think just as most believe us to think. So how have we come to this-- this myth. The presentation of a small cadre of "black" "leaders" (mind you, people we never elected) on the public airwaves, printed media and other universal forums, braodcast a united message that just doesn''t exist.

Sorry, Jim. I guess I thought you sounded angry. My fault. I, too, hope they fire those lazy, two hour late, two hour early, slackers, because, I , too, believe in standards.

EQUALITY MEANS JUST THAT = equality.

I forgot about that! He got away with a quick apology on that one, too.

He sure is a racist bigot.

jeff92706,

You are sad!
A Racist Pig!
You think you can judge like God based only on skin color.

Here''s a fact....
Skin color CANNOT be determined by DNA..
If you need a organ, it might be a "person of color"
Would you still hate?

Thanks, Jim, but white flight began long before this phenomnon of the bad, black politician. Besides, you already have the wall, it''''s called jobs and money. You''''ve nothing to worry about, sir.

It`s hardly a wall when I watch my black "co-workers" rape the company with lazy habits knowing they can pull the race card and get away with *** near anything while everyone else has to pick up their slack.I see it everyday and it is blatant and open abuse of the rules we all go by.I have one that comes in two hrs late EVERY DAY and leaves 2 hrs early and still claims a full 8hrs worked...the managers know this for a fact but don`t want to be sued...yeah a wall...right.

The new black politician, in the mold of the philosophy of F. Douglas, WEB Dubois and BT Washington and the admonishsions Carter G. Woodson, and with a greater grasp of the outside culture; uninfluence by self-interested, race baiting insiders is the only answer to this troubling problem.

So how come Marion Barry was the mayor for 20 years (minus four years in the middle for smoking crack), instead of anyone like that?

I dig, Bull, and thanks (I try).

Politics are a learned science and lately, lessons have been coming fast and furious in these places. Logic is begining to take hold and it will soon prevail. The distractions of "Affirmative action" and other poorly thoughtout schemes are starting to clear up. It''s about safety and substance: Life simplified to its'' bare essense. Progress is afoot.
