UPPER MARLBORO, Md. - A Prince George's Community College student says she was driven from class because of her political beliefs.
Gloria Alfonzo says she endured racial taunts and slurs because she supported John McCain's presidential campaign.
Her problems, she said, began with an assignment to write about the merits of Barack Obama. When she announced she differed with Obama, Alfonzo says her African-American classmates subjected her to an onslaught of racial hatred.
"I was frightened," she recalled. "It was horrible; it was extremely horrible. I was a little scared."
Alfonzo said all of her classmates -- except for herself and one other -- were black, as was the instructor, Ayanna Watson. She says the teacher demanded to know whether she is a Republican.
Alfonzo maintains her answer drove her fellow students into a racially-charged rage.
"They got up from their chairs they started pointing at me and, um, saying, 'You are a daughter of a,' you know, '[expletive deleted]' and '[expletive deleted] white girl,'" she said.
Chris Monroe was in the same class.
"I have never seen so much hate for one person," he recalled.

I said it yesterday on a similar thread and I'll say it again here...
With this kind of extreme vitriolic hate being engrained into the suggestive minds of our youth today...activating that 30 year old Ayers/Underground plan for offing 25 million + of us is going to be a snap

“I have never seen so much hate for one person,” he recalled”.
...this ain’t nothin’. BO and the MSM have created a racial tension in this country that will lead to (IMHO) a new age civil war. This is probably what BO’s little “Civilian Task Force” thingy is for. They know this is brewing because that was their intent.

The End.

Sadly, blacks now think that they are free to do anything they want too, because Obama will back them up. They can be as racist as they like, and it will not be hate speech. This Obama bunch, I believe has put back race relations 25 years. I think more and more people will secretly become very very racist in their thoughts because they will become SICK and tired of hearing how bad we are and how great they are and how we OWE everything too them now.
In the past week, while in public stores, setting, etc., you can hear the blacks say how they are going to "get even", how Obama is going to pay them for all THEY have endured the past 200 years, yet none of them look 200 years old too me. This is not going to be helpful. AND WE ARE CALLED INTOLLERANT AND HATEFUL. THE LEFT IS WORSE THAN WE ARE, BUT REFUSE TO ADMIT IT.

Hey, Black America, I don’t think you want a race war. You’re only 12% of the population. It’s not in your best interest.

I used to live in PG County.
PG County is a sewer. My experiences there showed me that racism is alive and well in this country (or at least, in that county) ... and committed primarily, if not almost exclusively, by folks with dark skin.

Ahhh... the beauty of tolerance and diversity on display. Too bad MD has restrictive gun laws, this person would be advised to pack heat, especially in a place as violent and dangerous as PG County.

The old canard about becoming what you purport to hate is going to be demonstrated more and more. There is much pent up rage in blacks and there are only so many ways to express it. Can anyone see the parallels between 1856 and 2008? That war was a “Culture War” too.

Remember the ONE telling them to get into their face! They were just doing what they were told.

This teacher should be fired for two reasons: First, for requiring her students to write about the merits of a particular candidate. Second, for allowing the students in her class to behave in such a way.

She should have retuned to the next class with a gift her classmates. A nice brown shirt for each of them to wear.

A Prince George's Community College representative says an investigation into the incident is underway. She said if the teacher fostered or condoned the racist attacks, it is in clear violation of school policy.Apparently, they are not sure if this is a clear violation of school policy?
