You are certainly correct that the church has been a loci of the Black community. If she didn't get the entire context, that concerns me. I'll try and get a copy of the broadcast to post on my blog so we can all hear what she said.<BR/><BR/>You stated <I>Some of those older black men know the full force of American's bigotry and race hatred.</I> I was on civil rights marches with my parents at quite a young age. You are right on target. No apologies necessary.<BR/><BR/>I take exception with NBC on one level—they are owned by GE and kept Mike Gravel out of the presidential primary debates because of his extreme anti-war stance: and he has experience to back up his position. Unfortunately, he will never assume office of be heard in the mainstream.<BR/><BR/>Vig, thanks so much for your kind words.

At the time, I thought, "Maybe they'll ease up on the election horse race thing and start to break down important issues." <BR/><BR/>Imagine my disappointment when I found out that the new show was titled "Race For The White House." <BR/><BR/>I haven't seen the show yet, and Gregory isn't bad, but the endless discussion of "Does this help or hurt Candidate X?" is getting irritating. Especially when there are such big, complex issues out there that cry out for a little explanation. But these people (pundits) can't seem to focus on anything unless it involves sex, race or gender.Samuel Brainsamplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217018965752604547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-44705766056310637222008-03-17T22:31:00.000-06:002008-03-17T22:31:00.000-06:00Stella, Randi Rhodes did a rant on Rev.

I happen to think the Rev is pretty much spot on, so I hate to hear a liberal like Rhodes, go on a rant about snippets of sermons taken out of the church, the only place blacks in America have to congregate, hence, congregation, to rant about the injustice and racism they face every damn day. No, I haven't been called nigger, but I dated a black retired homicide detective who was. And since I was with him I know how he felt--it takes a lot of control to swallow racism all day every day. Some of those older black men know the full force of americans bigotry and race hatred. So, no, Hillary probably has never been called nigger. But plenty of black men and women have. <BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rant. It was just this afternoon that I listened to Randi R. go off on the Wright Rev.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-61348959253064632022008-03-17T22:19:00.000-06:002008-03-17T22:19:00.000-06:00Speaking of veteran Air-Americans, anyone heard ho...Speaking of veteran Air-Americans, anyone heard how Al Franken is doing running against Norm Coleman in Minnesota?LTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585792840750218574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-56364303608949049162008-03-17T21:13:00.000-06:002008-03-17T21:13:00.000-06:00I only reason I'm putting a comment in here is to ...I only reason I'm putting a comment in here is to restore this thread.
