"The blacks weren't being good neighbors when they bussed them into my high school thirty years ago."

I went to HS in Irvington, N.J. and that happened there too around '72. Parents were out there rioting and getting worked up. While we were smoking pot and sneaking some guy's parent's wine because they weren't home! And another guy's father's beer the next day. That didn't go over very well with his dad. Or mine.

The funny part is the Black kids in a HS in Newark were doing the same thing while their parents were going nuts.

I remember it as wasted kids walking around laughing at the adult entertainment being provided for us. Clothed, of course. I haven't been to NJ since out-processing from McGuire AFB in '86. I won't be coming back. It's gone.

"If someone is threatened with a noose, as in “this will happen to you” that’s a different story."

That is what I think is happening. Black-White crime has been decreasing since the last two generations got older. And live around and know each other. This is a plan that 3 stories like this happened in one week.

I have seen this crap in the past. Rush is right. We have to study Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals". Hillary Clinton is a radical. This is of her making. Read it like Patton studied Rommel's book.

Two points. These incidents are totally hyped, a racial slur at some construction site is not much viewed in context. But, blacks fall for this stuff 100% and that is what the democrats count on.

Destroy their families, and bring in millions of Mexicans to take all entry level jobs, no problemo. But tell the story of one N word scribbled at a Home Depot construction site, and blacks will turn out in droves to punish whatever "racist" the dems point to. Which will be every republican.

Ping.

Some blacks at Grambling University in North Louisiana (a mostly black school) know how to make a noose. They picked school children up and put their heads in one. There are pictures of that on the internet. I wonder if anyone from Grambling are from Illinois. ;0)

A Noose once bit my sister

MARTIN LUTHER KING IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE

AFTER ALL HIS HARD WORK, AND THE WHITES ARE NOW VERY KINDLEY TO THE BLACKS.. SEEMS LIKE THE NAACP IS STILL TRYING TO STIR UP RACISM IN THIS COUNTRY AND IT WILL BACKFIRE ON THEM, SURE AS THE WORLD TURNS!

OK, apparently this is becoming the “fad” of the moment, at least in the news if not actions.

I always look askance at alleged “hate crimes” (should be HATRED; when did the verb form become a noun?), not only because they’re specious in principle, but they’re so easily “faked”. Easy to make it seem what it’s not.

Like that black teacher painting “racist” (i.e., white) stuff on walls, and correcting his English in the middle of it.

The planting of nooses and the painting of racist or anti-Semitic slogans have often proven to be the handiwork of left wingers or racial activists attempting to stir up trouble or push legislation. Several years ago, when a hate crimes bill was under consideration by the Texas Legislature, a prestigious black church in Dallas had its exterior walls painted with swastikas. It turned out that the graffiti (usually associated with anti-Jewish rather than anti-black agitation) was painted with the same type and color of paint that was utilized on an ongoing project to paint interior rooms of the church. This information was essentially suppressed by the local media, except for a few talk show hosts. Both the Republican controlled legislature and GOP Governor Rick Perry retreated rather than face charges of racism.

If we cannot trust the so-called conservatives to stay strong against liberal attacks, as was the case in Texas, this nation's future is grim.

"Destroy their families, and bring in millions of Mexicans to take all entry level jobs, no problemo. "

That's the main point. Whites and Blacks are being played against each other. That's old now. Only democrats use the same old tricks over and over. I suspect Mexicans/SA's learned this with coaching. From who? When Islamic radicals use democrat terms in their speeches guess what I think? Blacks and Whites better join together on the same page about this stuff and fast.

That’s pretty good, but the best one I’ve ever seen was when two of my coworkers used a pair of forklifts to surround our zone manager’s car with bundles of landscape timbers.
