The ignorance is heavily laded all over this post. Remember we did not start this-we did not have the power. It may just take another 200 years for us to learn how to be quiet, just as it took many, many years for slavery to end. Enjoy the ride because the blacks surely did hooked on to a wagon being drug down a dirt road. I doubt if your ride will be a deadly one. Maybe a little uncomfortable, but you will not die from it!! HOLD ON!! Change is a'coming.

Why are Ohio NAACP leaders pushing a South Carolina issue? Why isn't the South Carolina NAACP doing this if they think it needs to be done?

It was a national meeting. It just happened to be in Cincinnati.

yes they can pride,in lifestyle or region or southern things like music,food culture.Im not agreeing that the flag should even be banned.But the mindset from 150 years ago is still alive in the minds of some,that blacks and others are a lesser people,that they should "know their place" ,and those that think that use that flag to promote that thought.So having it flown from a public or government building isn't in good taste.

It wouldn't even bother me if it did.....It would just make the liberials the laughing stock that they are..you want change? I guess you want less jobs for the poor to average americans too huh? see that's what will happen when you raise the taxes the wealthy pay....they do the responsible thing and cut back on expenses. I'll translate that for you- there will be less jobs available since the wealthy own the companies.

Obama is racist as they come. I like him as a person, he seems like a nice family man, but he lacks experience, lacks knowledge, lacks common sense when you consdier he is friends with all these crazy people. ... and the fact that he claimed he had never heard what Rev. W said....please....if he can't make that correlation then I sure don't want him making any other decisions.

When people start taking responsibility for what do and how they act, and pay for what they bring into this world and not live off the gov. racisim will come to an end, but right now if you are any other color than white you feel that white people owe you something...we'll we don't...get over it.

We do and that is why we are having this convention. If you were there you would hear the speakers talk about what we need to do within our own communities and for ourselves, but blanket statements such as the one you wrote leaves one to always know that no matter what we will always be accused of blaming others for our woes and pity parties here in America. We have not created all of our problems here in America. I am a resident here in the "Sin Sin Cincinnati" also known as the "Dirty Nati." This place is like no other. The rest of the cites and states could vanish today and Cincinnati will be the only place left with living beings. I guess I am in the right place. Many years behind the rest of the country-only in the NATI!! What can I say??

just another example of the left's hatred of liberty. perhaps it's time to take a look at what white America has done for blacks. Pat Buchanan folks.
