Caging Elephants and Catching Trains
Pistol; I can't really comment on anything you said, some of it I agreed with, and some of it I didn't. I have already had my words muzzled by the "man" (my man Josh). So, I can't really say anything honestly because, Geeeee, I might upset the administrator or Josh's political views. I thought this site was progressive, but Josh seems to be a little more on the Cheney side of the house than he will admit. (heck, this post will probably be deleted.) Freedom to say what we want also means we are going to hear things we do not like. I was about to get all 'black' at about this point, but we can't have that. I guess I'll put on my Nat King Cole music, and blend in like one of them there nice...quiet..negro folk. Pistol; thank you for saying you're sorry about the Ni**er use. Do I hate white folks? Yeah, I do. But I'm really trying, really trying, to turn the corner on that. Rino Shoe shining at the airport! come see me!— November 9, 2009 11:36 p.m.

Laughing at death is stupid, that much is true Pistol. Do you deny lynching goes on today? Do you deny that there is hate in this world fueled by actions taken in the past? Are we not fighting a stupid war because of what happened in the past? Is Europe afraid of what will happen if Democracy/capitalism fails in Russia and that east/west friction will reignite? History happened Pistolpete. You can lecture me about how the future is the future and all that. But the past, what has happened in the past, has and always will be the inspiration of wars and hatred. You are right; in an ideal world we would let go, but reality has shown us, time and time again, that man lives in the past. (BLACKS and WHITES, Josh) Again; I live in the real world. I tell you straight up how it really is; you want to live in some pretend world that will never be. Kind of like this country in the 1950s and Leave it to Beaver's crazy world view.

Josh, I wasn't aiming that at whites, I aimed it at everyone. Karen, you go right on and feel that way. Perhaps if we all showed more sympathy, and compassion, we would have avoided slavery, the holocaust and the slaughter of Native Americans. Rino A Caring man of color.— November 9, 2009 10:38 p.m.

I see the world for what it is, Pistolpete. You see the world how you wish, or think, it is. I see that even my man Josh is censoring my learned words on his site; that is too bad. I guess if I got on here in touted words that supported his white view of the world, I would not be muzzled. Oh well, such is my place; the back of the bus. Rino God's only caring blackman.— November 9, 2009 9:24 p.m.

Finding humor in death, in anyone's death, is really more telling than how they died. Are you folks so seperated from our world that you must stoop so low? And you my man Josh, conducting it all. I expected better. Rino God's only caring blackman— November 9, 2009 8:50 p.m.
The People Celebrities Marry
It blows my mind more that the idiotic public sucks this stuff up like a line of coke on a kitchen table. Shows you how pathetic their lives are to even care about this crap. Meanwhile, a truck bomb goes off in Iraq and we're reading about Jesse James and who had f***ed this loser. Rino— November 8, 2009 9:38 a.m.

Josh, my man, do you know anything about history? Did any slave owners go to jail? Modern day whites moan that they didn't own slaves, so why should they pay for it? Well, no one 'paid' for it back in 1865 either since most of the owners of slavery, after Reconstruction, still got to keep their land. So, I ask, who paid for the crime? No one ever has; so why not you, and the white Americans of today? Rino— November 6, 2009 12:32 p.m.

Hey, those two are cool. They are just like me; they don't hide behind PC cliches and try to be all touchy feely. I know where those two stand because, get this Mr. Gringo, they are honest about what America is really all about. But you, Pistolwillie, and mayhbe even my man Josh, hide behind hipness to appear to be trendy when, in fact, your subtle 'around the bush' banter betrays more. Rino— November 5, 2009 7:39 p.m.

Refriedgringo, I have already admitted that I am a racist. I hate white people. Whites pretty much had their way here in America until the 1960s. So, 40 years of black-hatred of whites doesn't even come close the years between 1789-1968. Just give me, oh, thirty more years of hatred of whites and we'll call it even okay? The difference between you, Pistolwillie and me is simple; I wear my hatred on my sleeves. You hide behind yours. Don't worry, they have a whole network for you; FOXNEWS. And my sweet Karen; the best medicine for my people is about 80 more years of racial quotas and affirmative action, and, oh, three or four more black presidents. Rino— November 5, 2009 7:04 p.m.

Oh, its not just blacks, Mr. Gringo. Ask why all of south america hates this country, or south-east asia, or even the dreadful middle east. You put dictators in power so as to rape those nations of natural resources and now, now they are on to you and your racist inspired nation. And of course you don't care, since your kind made out like bandits, and still does, on the back of others. The white guilt is nice, but it is far, far, too little too late. Ha! Even white women are giving up on you, can you blame them? You treated them like slaves too. And now they want us too please them. Size matters, and with that size will come more brown kids to even the score. A new America indeed. The chickens are coming home to roost. Rino— November 5, 2009 5:22 p.m.
