Protesters are disruptive scum and nobody pays attention to them. They should be shot on sight.

If the Cowardly Cowboy really had a set, he would cancel our participation in these games because of the most recent human rights violations against Tibetans, by the Chinese government. But, then who would he have to borrow money from to fix the train wreck he has made of our economy?

China occupies Tibet, people protest, the media plays it up.

The US occupies Iraq, people protest, the media plays it down.

Maybe it is time to cease holding Olympics games, until the most egregious forms of inhumanity are eliminated.

"(sadly and strangely, it seems some blacks wish to reverse that progress, by popularizing an image of themselves as uneducated criminals: rap)." Posted by cneron

As a "Black" producer, I can tell you that your statement is incorrect. It is not the producers who determine what you see and hear, it is the distributors and marketing departments of the giant record cartels, and the media outlets that choose what to broadcast. They choose what will be on TV and radio, and in films, and they are the ones that choose only the negative images and portrayals.

And they are not "Black".

To your statement; "Americans once believed blacks were sub-human chattel,..." read some of the posts of the political stories'' threads, it is quite clear that many still do.

As a Chinese, I have never been a big fan of the idea of holding this Olympics game in Beijing. I predicted the West is going to use this game to embarass China and serve their agenda. China should initiate and organize her own version of the international sports game and invite the developing counties and friendly countries to the event. Welcome to the Coalition of Willing.

As an international ceremony celebrating human ideals, the Olympics cannot endorse a blatant affront to those ideals.

The Chinese hypocrisy over Tibet is undeniable, and whether the lighting of the Olympic torch occurs in Athens or in Beijing, it never should be used to santify Chinese abuse of human rights and dignity in Tibet.

Perhaps the Olympics should be held in a location permanently neutral, so no such problems occur in the future.

The IOC,( FOOLS )blew it,and should never have let the commies entertain the Olympics,The big mess is yet to come,Fools,why trust a backward government,to host the Games, when so many great nations were available ?

Even Black American slaves had more human rights than the Chinese people.

F R E E Chinese expression of thought, speech, and will.

I''m curious as to whether or not the memory of the China Olympics will outlive the memory of the upcoming protests against China''s reputation for human rights abuses, Tibet occupation and environmental disregard.
