Pretty weak response there, Vern. Why don't YOU tell the readers what was said to prompt your responses? It's obvious that you are, at least, a 'closet KKK member.' Maybe you're a member of the "Aryian Nation,' too. In any case, you've demonstrated some of the worse qualities of a human being when it comes to interacting with other human beings. You're a bigoted racist that is crying 'foul' because you think you're losing control over your little corner of the world. And, by lying about how things really are is your only means of justifying your feelings of persecution.
If you were to step back and see the world for what it really is, perhaps you would see that the various shapes and forms of 'boogie-men' you fear are simply figments of your imagination. You pretend you're the one being persecuted to cover up your fears of losing to people you think are inferior.
Remember the phrase, "... All men were created equal ... ?" Even though it was written during a time of slavery in our country, it was placed in our Constitution as an a knowledgment of slavery's wrong. You notice the phrase didn't say that only white men were created equal, or only land owners were created equal, or only rich men were created equal. It says, ALL men are created equal. That you continue to use derogatory language against African-Americans, liberals, Democrats, etc., shows that you don't believe that others are equal to you; that, for whatever reason, you're better than others. Sorry, Slick, it don't work that way.
And, as to your comment about me trying to take away your fight to free speech? Unlike you, I've not said that you should be banned from the forum. I have said that if you don't like what is said, you should leave. But, that would be a voluntary action of your part. I'm not an administrator. I can't make you do anything. But, I can point out your inflamitory comments and call you on them.
There's an old saying that says that goes, "Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes." Maybe you should try it, sometime. It just might give you a change of perspective. Maybe you should be on the 'receiving end' of your comments and feelings toward those who differ from you.
i think i know as much about the real world as you and im not and
showing my butt in the streets.im dam sure not out there shooting cops and burning stores.
im all for being equal but im not for your kind being better that us.education is free and too many blacks refuse to use it to get a head.as far as created equal dosent mean you can make lousy life decisions and then blame whites like has been going on for at least 60 years.as far as demorats party i think it should be outlawed for being subversive and from the way you talk i think your right in there with them.you should just go out and tell them
as far as my speech is concerned you are trying to silence me by what you thought was intimidation but it didnt work.but when it comes to inflammatory remarks i only go there when they go there. i intend to keep calling them out when i think they are lying or just dont know what they are talking about even when they think they are right and you obviously dont believe in judge not,so dont be bring that bigoted crap to me .your the one thinking your being persecuted and wallowing in self pity and hate.

You said, "... im all for being equal but im not for your kind being better that us."
What do you mean by "... your kind being better ... ?" What is your criteria for differentiation? Being black verses being white? From your posts, that would seem to be the case. And, why can't my kind be better than your kind? Your kind is the kind that is saying the insulting words. Your kind seems to think it superior to my kind. If not, then why are you so afraid of any kind being better than your kind?
You said, "... then blame whites like has been going on for at least 60 years..." Have you ever tried to live your life under the bondage of the Jim Crow Laws? Have you ever had to drink your public water from a "Negros Only" water fountain? Have you ever had to go to a different restaurant because the one you're at doesn't serve blacks? Have you ever had to go to an "all black" school because your skin color was dark? Have you ever had to use the left-over school books and gym equipment from the white schools because the school board wouldn't authorize enough money for your school to get the newest and best books and equipment? Were you taught by black teachers who were paid only ¾ of the salary that their white counterparts were paid? How many black kids did you hang out with in school? Did you ever visit their homes and meet their families? Did you ever invite blacks into your home?
How many white doctors refused to treat you because of a difference in skin color? How many times did you refuse a blood transfusion from a black person just because you thought taking their blood would turn you black?
How many neighborhoods did you refuse to move into just because your neighbors would be of a different skin color? If you own any up-scale rental property, how ready are you to rent to a minority family?
You said (speaking of me), "... your the one thinking your being persecuted and wallowing in self pity and hate."
I'm not wallowing in anything, Vern. You're the one complaining about how much the government picks on you and how you're treated so unfairly. Poor, poor, pitiful you. Why don't you cry us a river?
Compared to how the African-Americans (not to mention the Native Americans whose mistreatment goes back a bit further) have been treated over the past 60 years (as you note), you don't have any reason to complain. Compared to them, your treatment has been a paradise.
How would you like to grow-up in a white-owned slum, where the landlord accepts your money but refuses to make necessary repairs to maintain even the bare necessities; like plumbing, HVAC, electrical wiring, and broken windows? How long would you put up with it before you got mad? Move somewhere else you might say. Any where else and especially better will cost more than you make at the 2-3 minimum-wage jobs you and/or your spouse are already working at.
But, that's not your worry, is it? It's just something more for you to complain about when the government steps in and tries to help those who white society looks down on. Imagine if the government only taxed the property owner for maintaining his property. Instead of taxing the slum lord for not keeping his property up, the government taxes everyone so that everyone gets to share in the burden. If you have a beef, take it up with the rich slum lord. His inactions make you pay for helping out his tenants via the government.
Your idea of being treated fairly is, at best, being "separate but equal." Unfortunately, in reality, while it's been separate, it's never been equal. That being the case, then you're not really in favor of fair treatment unless you get the lion's share and can dole out the crumbs to the rest; in equal shares, of course. You wouldn't want to appear greedy, would you?
