Public lynching returning? You mean for black people?
Please tell me you're attempting to be funny.

That's like saying you're afraid burning witches at the stake may return.
What I was saying is that there are people that are still alive during that horrific time in our history and it is a reminder on how some things change and others remain the same. This is something that people that have had first hand experiences during Nazi Germany can relate to. AS for how it relates to black people in general, some blacks can look at this as a form of "open season" on young black men as an excuse for justice. For some racist it is way to legally get away with killing black people and have the law to back them up.

I came from several. As I stated, now it's about 75% white. So yes, I have perspective. Most importantly, I had poor, but extremely great parents.

Do you understand the difference between understanding someone and making a judgement of them? I'm not excusing her for anything mainly because I don't know anymore about her than you do.

Listen to Michael Savage right now live. He is hammering DeeDee over her stupidity and labeling her a low information Obama voter. Savage is a psychologist by the way.


Listen to The Savage Nation on News Radio 950 in Jefferson City, MO

Never, ever, forget how incredible it is to actually live life.

People who naturally speak english do not understand that it is one of the hardest languages to learn. I have alot of respect for anyone who can master english as a third language.

What a wonderful world of Mark Furman you must live in.

I'm totally at peace with the entire world now, at least those that are at peace with me When training at a certain mountain site, I had bunked with a couple of " crackers". They didn't know what to make of me, since it was their first experience. They were about 21/22, I was 34. I decided the best thing to do was to confront this head on.

We went out for beers.

Now if you have any idea of where I speak, you know this isn't a cab ride to the local bar.

I had kids at the time, and showed them pictures. We had some beers, talked, and they became my kids too. We talk on the phone to this very day. Yes, I still call them, Cracker One and Cracker Two. One of the funny things about this thread to me.

I would fly cargo tonight red eye if they needed me for anything. I love them like my own sons.


Maybe all Americans should be mandated to be in the military. It's the very best way to have a UNITED STATES.
