Go dry clean your dashiki and tone down the insults. That would be very non-"ignant" of you.

I like your tag name. But I think you might have "loud" confused with "proud".

Feel better?

Crime and welfare... I sense a teachable moment.

You could also argue, and I will, that when crime pays better than either welfare OR a minimum wage job, rational folks will choose crime (rational in this case is an economic term). So, it should not be much of a surprise that in areas of high poverty, few jobs, limited welfare benefits one would find higher crime rates. Duh!

Thanks for the support. His attacks are no biggie. I ignore insults from those that are on their knees in slobbering worship of hussein obama.

Don't need to, I was taught that lesson in economic by folks doing serous time. As they explained it to me it is a simple cost/benefit analysis and prison is just another cost of doing business.

President Obama represents all citizens.

Has anyone ever bothered to ask whether the other 43 Presidents of the US represented all whites?

Seems to have not crossed majority of people's minds until we finally have a president of different races.

People need to face the fact that we are all equal & anyone of any race can be President of the US.
