McCain Supporter Claims She Suffered Racial Taunts in Class

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.

At that point I would have walked right back out. After all, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

A salute from me to you on your stance. By the time I was in the 8th grade, I was the ONLY white child in the class. Things were not well and such leaves an ever lasting impression on one.

In addition to failing your paper, the teacher probably would have lifted up the paper in front of the class and said that this is what "The Cipher" turned in.

Oh,no, you're being too charitable. It's more likely she would have lifted up the paper in front of the class and said "Attention, class, this is what Miss Al-fon-zo thinks of Barack Obama."

My son attends third grade at Nashville’s richest public school where they bus in 25% ghetto kids chosen by lottery.

Otherwise it’s 75% meterosexual whites with chinny moms and demure dads....typical genX and Y professionals today looks like anywhere above the cotton belt (freepers excluded)

Wade was the Mccain rep at his school in programs and gave a speech...he’s very verbal...extremely.

he has since been in several altercations and arguments with a few white kids and several black kids

the school has handled it best they can, teachers do not take sides particularly and some were McCain folks but they do try to squash it and talk “unity”

it will be a life lesson for him..

I’d say the school was around 70% Obama....Nashville proper went for Obama about that margin

Funny, we didn’t need a Civilian Task Force under Bush in all the years since 9-11-01.

Blacks will not continue to be a minority. Barry will open the floodgates from Africa to make sure their numbers swell. He will also empty th prisons of violent offenders and give them ‘jobs’ in his security force. Wait and see.

Those that have that attitude are those that had it before. Only they are more outspoken. It’s what I call the “ghetto attitude”. There are conservative blacks. The blacks at my job have never had this kind of attitude. It’s like Martin Luther King’s dream. They are just people. Sadly, those in the world with the bad attitude make themselves louder.

Hey, easy now. Why don’t you just settle back and swig down on a cold Malt Liquor. That’s it, light up a pack of Kools, and feel that Black hate settle deliciously in your cancerous lungs. Feels good, doesn’t it? Now tomorrow we’ll drive you over to the Mall for some shoplifting and vandalism,...hey, we might even pick you up a pair of those new Alan Iverson $300 sneaks, you know the ones that come with a 9mm you can hide in your car or threaten your Ho with!
May the Bling with you. Peace out!

Hmmm... I really don’t understand your extrapolation from protecting our kids from brainwashing to withdrawing from the requirement to be salt and light.

Are you positing that at age 18 (college age) a "child" still requires protection from public education?

I understand the motivation to homeschool. But I take exception to homeschoolers smuggly deriding other conservatives who are still putting up a fight in the public arena. Your local public schools may seem beyond hope. Ours are not.

Given that some parents who share our moral philosophy have already turned to private schooling or home programs, we are already under-manned in the trenches. The last thing I care to hear is those same parents criticizing how the battle's coming along.

Yep. It’s so hard to believe children so young can be so viciously hateful. They are part of a generation who has never truly suffered. All this hatred. At times like this I wish we had shipped them all to Africa, they wouldn’t be here hating whitey. They would be in their African paradise with their bros.

It’ll be nice to have a thoroughly indisputable reason to shoot them senseless. I am not taking an ounce of bs from any of them. One act...

Racism can’t beat racism. Don’t give in to the urge to treat individuals in a different way just because the actions of some in a group they are associated with are hurtful or dangerous. However, “Trust, but verify.”

Note how Obama won’t denounce any of these crimes. On election day in Philly, Black Panthers were intimidating voters.

BTW, please sign this citizenship petition against Obama:
