"For more than a hundred years, Republicans have aggressively supported arming blacks..." Not their best idea.

Instead of writing a story about another "poor little black kid" who may or may not have been up to no good, how about we address the out of control black on white crime that's going on right now, everyday and as we speak. Lets talk about the black on white rape that occurs in this country at the rate of one every 15 minutes, where as the reverse is less than ten a year. What say you Harry about "Mahogany mobs", Beat-up Whitey night" and "The Knock-out Game"? Where's the outrage when DeShawn whacks Tyrone?

The fact that we constantly talk about race is in and of itself proof that we have a race problem. It's human nature for people to gravitate to their own kind.

Exactly Roy. It would be more racist to not insist on seeing Obama's birth certificate. The fact is, we've never had anyone seeking the office of the presidency so shrouded in mystery regarding his past. If he were a white conseravtive, libs would be leading the charge wanting to see his birth certificate. There would be accusatory stories in the NYT ranging from possible involvement with right-wing militia groups to white supremacy groups. Steve in Cali, you and yours really need to get some new material.

Because years of liberal indoctrination has reduced White people to self-denigration. Even "conservatives" like this dolt and most of the posters here are so afraid to be thought of as racist that they actually over compensate to their own detriment. It's quite the spectacle.

You're simply not telling the truth. There has never been a study that substantiates what you claim. In fact quite the contrary has been the norm and widening if anything. The only studies that have shown a closing of the gap, have been discredited as either curve grading or outright fraud.

Like Mr. Bialosky, what I'm about to say may sound racist, but unlike Mr. Bialosky, I don't care. There was a time where I thought school vouchers was a good idea. I have since come to the unfortunate and at times, uncomfortable realization that it would be a unmitigated disaster. The fact is, history has shown that when it comes to education, blacks will pull down the overall performance and curriculum as opposed to the invert. Both were better off segregated. I'm sure many "conservatives" here will call me a racist, but like the liberals they accuse of empty and unsubstantial rhetoric, will offer nothing in the way of proving me wrong.

You can reverse that pov, and say things like liberalism, environmentalism, even atheism ARE religions. Bottom line is, between the three I listed, Islam and Christianity, the only one that is not like the others is the latter.

Some good idea's Lawrence, but they bees raycis.

Back in the day, whenever we entered a dead skunk zone while driving, we'd say, "must be a Heineken factory around here" It tastes better than it smells.
