Federal Government sponsored racism sponsored by Federal "mediators". On top of that, it's a totally anti-Southern Northern Liberal Screed. I guess it's only typical of the Chicago media.

“We are not going to end on a note like that” screamed the “Federal Mediator”.
The “Mayor” should have told her to get her fat ass out of town and not come back.

"When you go in the schools and see mostly black kids sitting in detention—it's racism. In court, we get high bonds, we get longer sentences. If that's not racism, what is it?"

Recidivism, maybe?

[Cicero]

I remember when I was a kid, and we’d be rolling around on the ground fighting about something other, the adults would come out and say, in their soothing voices, “Now, now, stop that, Cicero and Tommy! Time to kiss and make up!”

People weren’t worried about possible gay implications in those days. In fact, the word “gay” was entirely cheerful and innocent.

I’m not sure that all this tolerance has made things better.

I don't see the difference between a Confederate soldier and a Nazi soldier.

That's what a government education'll do for you.

>>>Recidivism, maybe? <<

Bingo! Unfortunately, it is probably a "bingo" that few in Paris would understand.

Sounds like the only ones talking were the blacks.

How about black racism against whites? Is that non existent?

I hardly think so.

...actions have, consequences...The Civil Rights Act ('64), should have been "sunset" after 20 years.
...the resentments have built-up over time...the unintended racism, has come to the foreground.

I knew it was one of those “R” words. :-)

“The Civil Rights Act (’64) should have been “sunset” after 20 years”.
Unfortunatly, it wouldn’t have helped. They would have just kept renewing it just like the “voting” Rights Bill.

They didn't actually kiss did they?

At least it wasn’t Greenville, TX, home of ‘The Blackest Land, The Whitest People’

[Juan Medén]

“Federal government” and “reconciliation” should never be used in the same sentence.

Because we all know yankees can't be racists.

[okie01]

Those who live in the past are condemned to re-live it.

That goes for both sides.

then you are one ignorant white hating mofo....we've had a few here like that but give them enough time and they implode and become the catfood they always were underneath

[BnBlFlag]

Ping!
On top of everything else, one of the “participants” in this farce had the gall to compare the Confederate Soldier’s statue on the Courthouse Grounds to that of a Nazi.
I’ve got a newsflash for this genius. There are about 37 or 38 states that have few, if any, Confederate statues or monuments publicly displayed. He is more than welcome to move to any of them. In fact, I’d buy his sorry ass a one way ticket myself.

[dusttoyou]

Smelling like Reconstruction Act 2 coming. Outcome probably be the same.

[Mogwai]

Whites who don’t cave and beg forgiveness when accused of racism. Wow. Impressive and rare gumption. But they shouldn’t have wated their time going to what they should have realized would be be a BS fest of racial mau-mauing. Some of the black attendees found fault with white southerners. The only thing I’ll rebuke them for is not picking their own cotton.

[dfwgator]

This is nothing compared to the racial tensions that are coming between black and latino.
