My cousins ex was the one that started that whole mess, he was the one with the videocamera that Axel Rose got so mad at.....my claim to fame.

LOL, one of many reasons,actually, but I believe that was the tipping point, she moved to PB after that.

I bet not one of these people has been in or even knows someone who is in the situation. Grow up people. These excuses for your rabid hate doesn't fly in 2008. And.... if you are so unhappy with society, move to Canada. None of this changes the fact that blacks are still have a lower income than whites and a grossly higher poverty rate. Sure doesn't sound too fair to me.
Who said the Confederate Flag was racist???

The confederate flag is not necessarily racist. It can simply be a symbol of southern pride. It can be racist, but not necessarily.

affirmative action is meant to negate stereotypes in order to level the playing field. minorities and women. white women. it doesn't actually work in definition. i'm tired of all the people who don't even know the law calling it unfair to whites.

Unfortunately, many racist groups have appropriated the Confederate flag for themselves, just as right-wing rednecks appropriated the American flag for themselves in the 60s.

If you want to "negate a stereotype”, start capitalizing the first letter of your sentences. I then I can stop saying "all retards don't capitalize the first letter of their sentences". Good day.
Long time reader...never posted, I am compelled this time.
I vote this post of the year! I can't stop laughing.

within 5 years i think...sadly, cincy is a permanent a candidate but i'm thinking indy, cleveland, st. louis, miami should all tread lightly...i remember in 2001 during the cincinnati riots, they showed on cincinnati news some locals out in st.louis saying they supported the uprising and they were next if the city doesn't get its act together.
