She was also white maybe half black, like Obama, but she didn't acknowledge that side of her race. Didn't get her any points I guess.

The blacks play the racial card entirly too much.

Hell, I'm white and now I'M a minority! I want my free stuff, my Jesse Jackass and my time on TV complaining how everyone is coming down on me!.

They just all need to get out of bed in the morning and go to work.

WHERE ARE THE MODERATORS!!!! Please don't make this into a racial issue just because JWP is Black. He doesn't represent all Black people and neither does Jesse Jackson. Only pure ignorance could lead one to believe that they do.

Lets not forget I said this:

"And those that use it generally have no regard for what that does to reverse the progress the good black folks worked hard to achieve."

I am NOT painting everyone like that so get over it.

So you know her heritage?

FYI - most people that are biracial identify more with being Black because that is what society sees and that's how they are treated. Trust me......I know. Ever heard of the "one drop rule"? Try educating yourself before making such statements. There is no such thing as "barely black"? You're making yourself sound quite silly.

"Typical, sooooo typical..Everything is racially motivated when you're black"

You said THAT!!!!! To me, that's painting every Black person with the same brush.

Well saying "everything" was wrong and I apologize. Funny how that stood out to you and the other comment didn't matter..I do stand behind the fact it isn't uncommon to run into the racecard. But you're right this thread is getting off track.

I appreciate the apology. The other comment does matter but when you make a statement like the one you did it overshadows the other. Didn't mean to overlook it but the first one struck a cord. Sorry.

I agree that the race card is played far too much. I'm seeing it on both sides though. I wish people would get over race and stick to facts:

Watching the video only solidified the fact that JWP is far out of control. Anyone who has lived in this area will agree that he's been out of control for a long time.

Yes, it's unfortunate that many of his supporters are blind follower and truly believe that he is looking out for their best interest.

I don't agree with Ms. Dickey's ambush. That wasn't the best way to handle this situation but that DOES NOT excuse JWP's reaction to Brett Shipp.

Its like dropping a Nuclear Bomb when there is still room for diplomacy. In the end no one has to ability to make anything better once it's out there. I am sure it's tempting when you run into stupid white people, yes there are PLENTY of em. But it has no effect on resolving a dispute. Makes me sad when I see or hear of it.

And there was NEVER any racism whatsoever towards this girl. So...Do you think that Manager thought twice the next time they had a black candidate in front of them to hire? I bet she did considering how it effected her, she was a wreck and in tears after that accusation. I mean really, what can you say, especially in the work environment. Its just sad that it happens as often as it does. I digress....

This John Wiley guy seems like a buffoon if you ask me.
You'll need to watch remarks like that down here. Seriously.
