BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
Not to mention the fact that these Americans where incapable of accumulating any significant wealth to pass on to the next generation due to LAWS being in place that prevented them from attending "white" colleges, or any colleges for that matter, and participating in most major income producing job positions. Even, like Spliff mentions, major sports. This was evident in the necessity to build "the projects". Because landlords were prohibited from renting to black people due to Jim Crow Laws, white developers built massive structures that housed millions of blacks in the 1960s and 1970s. Do you think these people lived there because they wanted to? "The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages." "The problem with your logic...well, along with those bad things you mention in history, do you realize Christians burned and killed women they "thought" were witches? Does that mean the Christians today are bad people because of that? I don't think so. So...if white America did bad things in the past, I don't think that makes Caucasians bad people." I just threw up in my mouth. Salem witch hunts - 1692. Projects - 1960. Do the math.— July 3, 2009 5:30 p.m.

Patently absurd. I would no sooner negate the opinion of someone who lives outside this country than someone who lives in it, if I agreed with same said opinion.— July 1, 2009 9:46 a.m.

Cliquish - befitting or characteristic of those who incline to social exclusiveness and who rebuff the advances of people considered inferior. SD - you are becoming the very definition. Everyone deserves to be heard. This is not an exclusive website.— June 30, 2009 7:13 p.m.

It's a play on a word. There is a restaurant with a nautical theme in San Diego, and the restrooms say "Buoys" and "Gulls".— June 28, 2009 8 a.m.
BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
I am not referring to Mexico, nor to anything other than being born an American in this country and being referred to as something other than. Namely, a "black" American. Don't use your perch in Mexico to degrade what is obviously a serious issue in this country.— June 27, 2009 9:27 p.m.
BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
Why do you refer to people as "a group of black people"? All of you are horrible. Do you not realize the privilege of being white? This, and I quote from the very good interview with Tim Wise in The Sun called "By The Color Of Their Skin" - Tim Wise on the Myth of a Postracial America: "Privilege also takes the form of less pressure to perform. If a white student in a classroom doesn't answer a question correctly, no one will say "Those white people don't even deserve to be in this school. They obviously had standards lowered for them." We whites are able to be as incompetent or mediocre as we want and never have our mediocrity ascribed by our race. George W. Bush mangled the English language with regularity and still became president. If Barack Obama had mispronounced words the way Bush did, would he have been given the same degree of slack?" This is just an excerpt. Read, people, READ! You have no idea how dumb you sound when you relentlessly beat the stupid racism drum. What if you woke up with black skin tomorrow? Would you still hate black people?— June 27, 2009 7:23 p.m.
