What ever happened to... <---(dot dot dot)

[Resident Loser]

...not up to the task?

census studies are incomplete(they don't even know how many black people that live in LA, Oakland, or San Francisco in 2000 with any acccuracy).

And just why is that? Is it the government's failure in seeking out those who may not wish to be sought out...much less found?

Out of the six books I have read on slavery, there are only a few facts that each book agrees on. One is that the accuracy of information varies all over the place.

But if you use flawed source material it's OK...seems a bit duplicitous to me, eh?

These are your rather stupid comments. Did it ever occur to you that this is just what the press wanted you to see?

Given the fact that it's probaly the same two photos you linked that all the other folks have taken issue with, did it ever occur to you that it is just what the "press" wanted you to see? What goes around comes around...

Re: Looting...does the videotape lie? Does "appropriating" a rack full of inedibles qualify as subsistance or looting?

..."Fires ARE being set in housing projects in predominantly black areas"

Couldn't those fires have been set be gas line breaks? No, not to you it was done by black people in black areas. There isn't a shred of evidence that points to anyone lighting housing projects on fire, but you mention it.

Aren't the white folks cookin' with gas? Is vandalism a stranger to societal disarray?

That was followed by this

"...Thugs have taken over some minority areas and are raping and robbing at will..."

This was just a rumor, and no evidence supported this. Thugs did commit crimes, but there is no evidence they took over whole neighborhoods, or were raping and robbing everyone. Isolated cases, yes, but certainly not in the inflammatory way you state.

Not according to the unfortunate residents of the sports complex or convention center.

"...Wanna' start at ground zero...Do you really want to avoid the facts and face the real reasons?...Do you really want to bring up the hypertensive, overweight, diabetic grandma who has to raise the nine grandchildren because their parents are nowhere to be found...or is that merely an example of the non-traditional family you often speak of? And why is grammy so sick to begin with? Could it have something to do with the fact that under the best conditions she eats cr@p? And don't give me the healthcare rhetoric, we've been there AND done that!...]

So you have just describe every black grandma in the country with this crap. Right!!! Then more stereotypical bull completes the post. Man, you are the epitome of sensitivity and caring.(sarcasm off) When I read what you have written in that post, I characterize you as a ignorant bigot(and I am probably right) just towing the bigots line. Let's not even mention the fact that you charactize slavery as nothing more than "businsess" when millions and million of PEOPLE lives where ripped up, broken to pieces, and thrown away like trash. Those just so happen to be black lives. In almost every post you have painted blacks in the same fashion as the common ordinary southern redneck. You are bias, and racially insensitive, and that is demonstrated in your writings.

Every black grandma? Your words not mine...do you actually mean to deny a fact of life? How many grandmas or aunts are saddled with the progeny of their own erstwhile children or other relatives? I'm certain scrutiny of public records could bear this out, but as we all know census info and the like are "incomplete".

If you really wanted answers re: health issues such as diabetes, I'd suggest visiting the ADA site for factual info re: diet, etc.

Guess what, my respect for you is also cancelled.

Why does that not surprise me?

Actually you are quite like many Jim crow types.

Quite impossible as I am not black, nor do I wear black-face, nor am I appearing in a minstrel show...please try to get you "act" together before using words or phrases to which you haven't a clue.

As time permits I may continue, but for now...gotta' go...
