LOL, okay and what does your name mean? I take it people call you that in person too right?
You are right though, a username on the internet should have proper spelling according to the english dictionary, especially one found on the internet of all places, we do not support slang or acronyms here.
Did you bother to read the first paragraph? It is obvious that the OP has a lot of anger towards blacks in general.
I don't see people making this a race issue, the OP is making it seem like every black leader is rousing up anger by claming the "man" is bringing them down. How about some links or proof showing how the race card is being used instead of resorting to "go back to your free OJ rallies and leave us Americans that are non-race-riot-inciting-trolls alone"????

Better avoid this thread then. All the usual "Bush didn't help because the people are poor and black" BS is in full force there.
Sure did. The only thing that's obvious is that the OP is sick and tired of the usual suspects turning every black victim into a victim of race and predjudice.
I'm sick of it, too. You can have a lot of compassion for what's going on and still take issue with what people like Kanye West are doing. These people can be so amazingly counterproductive, and they seem to carry out their acts with relative impunity. It's getting rather sickening, especially when they seize a time like this to forward their own personal agenda and grudges. These people perpetuate hate more than any other single entity, and I for one and fed up with it, just like the OP.
Then you're living under a rock, because the media has been infested with it over the past week.
Bull. The OP cited specific individuals... not "every black leader". Again, he's just talking about the "usual suspects"; the people who are first to jump at opportunities like these.
I think the OP did enough of that, but if that's not enough for you, go turn on the television. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "they're not being helped because they're black", and apparently you missed West's entire diatribe.
You're in the shadows, buddy... maybe you should read up before flaming the OP. The proof is all around you, unless you're in denial.
Since this is primarily what the OP was referring to, I'll help you get started on your schooling:

IS THAT DEFINITIVE ENOUGH FOR YOU?
Apparently the networks felt West's comments were rather inappropriate, too:
There's a lot more out there, but this is a good place for you to start, young grasshopper.
No apology necessary.
No, I'm not in the shadows, as a matter of fact I use most of the major news sources on the web for my information, and I don't see people making crazy claims about race. Given that most of the dead are black and poor, I can't see how you can completely seperate race and class from this situation. And so freaking what if a few people make it an issue, it is an issue in our society. Many of these poor people had nowhere to go, it is easy to sit here and play armchair QB and blast them for not evacuating to other cities when they have no car and money in their pockets.
Perhaps the local new in North Carolina is making it a major issue, but the reputable national websites and news organizations aren't focusing on race like you would like everyone to believe. They are focusing more on class and the gap betwee the rich and the poor.
You asked, I answered, now you want to pretend like it doesn't mean anything. What's the point of asking for proof if you're just going to try to shove it aside when confronted with it?
Sorry, you lose. The fact is, this is a horribly tragic situation; no one is disputing that... but when people - people who are trying to HELP - get dirt kicked in their face as they're told we're all just leaving the black for dead because they're BLACK, you're going to get a reaction.
DEAL WITH IT.

If you want to fly out to Denver and tell me to be quiet by all means do it. Until then STFU with your high horse demands okay tough guy?
No I am not basically telling you that these people are being left behind because they are black. What I basically stated long ago was that Black people were not just mistreated "A few hundred years ago" if the 77 at the end of your name indicates the year you were born then fine I understand you are just a BOY and do not remember 1964. But don't disreguard other people's facts whenever your high horse hypocrite ass feels like it.
