The local news plastered this thing all over the place. While finding out who the perps are is important (finding the murderers in any case is important), the exploitation of this by Brooks (and Jesse Jackson -- his face was all over this one) is beyond insane.

And my biggest problem with this was the way the local stations jumped on this -- like a dog humping a light pole. They showed the "reenactment" and presented it as if it were the real deal. I was beyond frustrated.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

And it was so surreal and bizarre. The whole concept and the white masks was weird as hell.

I see clearly the fact that activists brooding over pasts issues like this is pathetic. Today's *civil rights leaders* are to being useless and irritating people like MJ and Magij Johnson were to basketball and muhammed ali was to boxing.

So that aside, in what ways do you think the "lynching" reenactments were innacurate, given that they serve not the slightest practical purpose? Do you think they were exaggerated? Omitted key historical facts? Or simply that they need to shut their f**king mouths and get over their baggage?
