I had never heard of Rod Paige until he made his statement about the NEA and I had no idea what race he was until I just read that he "received a standing ovation yesterday from nearly 1,000 members of the Black Alliance for Education Options in Milwaukee."

I did a Google on him and my suspicions were confirmed.

Would Rod Paige have "received a standing ovation yesterday from nearly 1,000 members of the Black Alliance for Education Options in Milwaukee" if he were white? Would he have even been invited to speak to this group?

Before the AM removes this comment, consider this. Who is the racist? Me or the Black Alliance for Education Options in Milwaukee?

I dunno. But thank God for the courage of a conservative black man to speak out on this issue.

Blacks won't be converted from the Democrat plantation by whites. They must do it themselves.

I think this helps explain why Rod Paige was attacked so savagely by the media. Because, like Clarence Thomas, he is a man who has dared revolt against his Democrat masters.

When the truth is spoken, neither the race of the speaker nor of the audience is material.

Maybe it's you. This group is organized because of their strong views on these issues. I suspect they would have applauded anyone who appears to be on their side.

As I just posted a few minutes ago on this thread, homeschooling among black families is experiencing a huge amount of growth.
