What is really funny to watch is now some of the neocon scum of the past few years are actually afraid. They thought that they could control their wacko kinfolk, and they may have been wrong. If this is the case, then I think we do have a new twist in things. You have Ann Coulter chastising the birthers, and members of the republican party going after the eugenics/euthanasia rantings against health care, this is getting interesting.
Maybe I am naive or jaded, but I really don't see these nut jobs getting much traction. I could be wrong, but I think the "real" white folks, the folks with the power, are not going to let these wackos destroy everything. They count on them to do their dirty work, but they will put them down like a rabid dog if they become bent on destruction. At least, that is my take on things at the moment.

In northern CA and Oregon, there where skin heads. In PA, there was always buzz about the klan, and though I was north of the Mason Dixon line, there where confederate flags on display in many rural locals. In MI, there was still remnants of the militia, not to mention the most segregated urban areas in the US.

quote:Senator Edward M. Kennedy was the best friend Black folks have EVER had in the U. S. Congress.
NOBODY has ... or probably ever will ... fight as hard or do as much as that man did to make this country a better place for the underclass and underprivileged.
He was an 'unsung' hero ... because most people probably don't even know all that he should be appreciated for.
His leadership will be sorely missed.
RIP, *Teddy* Kennedy.![]()

I find that I, myself, am very conflicted on the issue. This 'new day' America thing is nice ... perhaps even necessary ... and, I suppose, will/would be a good thing. However, on the flip side, I can't see it being achieved without Black people, once again, having to sacrifice the most to achieve it. And in my mind, we've given more than enough to 'the cause' already.

I went to see Chicago 2 weeks ago play at a casino in Tunica. I got that "what are you doing here" look a few times from whites and blacks. I get home and I'm asked why did you want to see Chicago? "We" don't listen to that kind of music.
What "we" are they referring to and what type of music do "we" listen to?
I guess I'm still on probation
****sigh****........
Excellent concert by the way. Played all of the classics.![]()

A thought came to me while working on my family tree. So many black folks in America in different regions seem to be distant relatives. So I'm wondering have I ever dated one of my own cousins and not realized it??? Is it just me??

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Officials say an Ohio inmate who intentionally overdosed on pills hours before his scheduled execution has returned to prison and is on suicide watch.
Prisons spokeswoman Julie Walburn says 43-year-old Lawrence Reynolds Jr., who admitted taking an overdose of medication prescribed to him, arrived at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown shortly after noon on Tuesday.
Walburn says Reynolds is isolated from other inmates and under constant observation.
Reynolds was treated at a Youngstown hospital after he was found unconscious in his death row cell Sunday night.
The type of drug he used and why it was prescribed aren't being disclosed. How he accumulated the pills is under investigation.
Reynolds' execution for the 1994 murder of his neighbor near Akron has been rescheduled to next week
