Thanks Elie...of course writing such articles as these does a lot to open and re-open the eyes of everyone. How else can we get beyond this point if we all don't communicate? So putting it out there is always for the best. [and let me add Whip always says this very thing!] </TA

I do, however, feel uniquely qualified to speak on certain aspects of racial tensions in this country, having lived in predominantly black neighborhoods for most of my adult life, and also having been privy to inner workings of that most feared of Supremacist groups, the KKK. And I do respect you for ch

Sheesh. Why must we tip-toe around like that when it comes to matters of race? Because we have been intimidated by so many false claims of racism that many people refuse to discuss these matters at all anymore, and that, my friend, is not a good thing. I hear your point as well. Thanks for seein

but if you are talking crime statistic, where do you mention that there are also doctors and lawyers too. get my drift? If you start writing here and have to use disclaimers in every sentence you will go nuts, some things are implied. I understand you. I am not talking about a disclaimer statement for

Hell, you can't even notice that blacks kill whites (and other blacks of course) on a daily basis at a rate much higher than any other minority (according to FBI statistics)without being called a racist. You can't point out black looters, rioters, crackheads, welfare queens, pimps, drug dealers, prostitutes or anything els

Our community is far from perfect, but work is plentiful, we have a decent climate here (Florida), and most of us generally get along pretty well. The spot where I live is mostly white people, but 1 block over is mostly black people. I like to ride my bicycle whenever I can. I feel perfectly comfortable riding through the neighbo

Every single black person I know, which is quite a few, refer to themselves as black. Many of them openly object to the African-American label as they themselves say they are NOT African. These are middle class working people. Good family people, who I am happy to call my friends. They also refer to me as white (if it even comes

That pretty much sums it up, wanna come visit? If you are serious, I will. It's part of my job. Otherwise, I find that really hard to believe and incredibly racist. You really try to help your fellow American neighbors and not bash them here. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgC

stand on my original point. Unless you yourself were born in Africa, or have a parent that was, there is nothing "African" about you other than the fact that some of your distant anscestors came from there. If you use this logic, there is nothing black about me either (except my hair and my most c

I would try to behave better to whip on my blog, I happen to be very fond of her and will have to send you to your room if you insist on name calling . Agreed. LW, please forgive me for the name-calling. I retract the racist remarks I made at you. However, I am African-American. It's not a way

There is nothing African about them other than the fact that their great great great great grandparents may have come from Africa. They don't speak African, they couldn't survive in Africa, and the majority of them have never BEEN to Africa. African-Americans my ass, they're Americans, period, but when a racial distinction needs

African-Americans vote Democratic because of the issues that impact them most. It's not because of 'feeling victimized by whitie'. Until you have spent time in the African-American community (which you obviously have not) you really shouldn't make assumptions about why they vote. There are African-American middle and upper class individuals who are college educated and very Christian who still vote very democratically. Please take off y

Unfortunately, most of you conservatives continue to ignore an entire section of America that is very Christian and yet leans to the liberal side in so many ways. If you go to an African-American church, you will find an entire population of people who think that most conservatives still wear white sheets (and they are right about some) and firmly believe in God and the preservation of their right to religious freedom.
