Whereas being black elsewhere is heavenly.
Meanwhile, old in America sucks, and being underage in America, and being handicapped, too dumb, too smart, brown-eyed, unlicensed, nearsighted, female or male or transsexual or gay or bespectacled or deaf or...or...patriotic...or publicly schooled...or...Christian...or........................................

Does anyone think there is any other place where being black is more fun? I have traveled the world and the US has our problems with race, but most of the rest of the world is worse. There is a lot of open and legal racism out there. Legislated and decreed racism..

I foud some truth in her article. This for example:
I'm an uppity, lippy white woman of a certain age

[trisham]

Yes. This person can’t write or reason. I would usually refer to the writer of an article as an “author”, but in this case such a description would be ludicrous.

Tales from the crack pipe?

[traderrob6]

3 names is a dead giveaway.

Hyphenated hippie chick. She’s entitled to her opinion, even when she’s wrong — which, I suspect, is most of the time.

Being in America with a black, liberal, socialist president sucks.

So, what’s the point.?

[Clock King]

Mentally ill.

It’s hard to read this article. It’s incoherent.

Is this another one of those folks who got into and through college on affirmative-action?

[logos]

Naturally it takes a sucker to identify a suckee...

“Marcie Dahlgren-Frost. Dahlgren is my maiden name, Frost is my married name. I’m single again, but I never bothered to remove the Frost. And I get compliments on the hyphen.”

Wow. That low level of intelligence and reasoning carrys very little survival value in a state of nature.

Zimbabwe! It's tons of fun to be Black in Zimbabwe. The folks just spent the past generation making Zimbabwe as Black as they could. What fun.

Two generations of her family have contributed nothing of value to our country and should stay in Greece.

Elizabeth Boleman-Herring was born in North Carolina, but spent the first nine years of her life in Pasadena, California. At ten, she moved with her parents to Greece where, for three years, her father was posted as a Fulbright scholar and administrator at Pierce College in Glyfada. Educated at the American Community Schools of Athens, the Francis W. Parker Private School of Chicago, the University of Georgia, the University of South Carolina, and at American University in Washington, DC, Boleman-Herring returned to Greece as an adult to pursue a career in journalism. In the 1980’s, she served as Deputy Editor of "The Athenian": Greece’s English Language Monthly and, in 1988, became founder and Publishing Editor of "The Southeastern Review": A Quarterly Journal of the Humanities in the Southeastern Mediterranean. Her first children’s book, "The Other Side of the Road," was published, in English and Greek editions, by Lycabettus Press in Athens; a second children’s book, "The First Of Everso," was issued in Greek by Estia. Boleman-Herring’s poetry has appeared in numerous publications, as have her columns, features, reviews, jazz lyrics, photographs and travel articles. A collection of her poetry, "The Crowded Bed: Erotic, Light and Formal Verse," was published by Lycabettus Press, and her travel guides to Greece, its islands and Athens for Insight Guides have been released in many editions by APA Publications. Also, with noted British photographer Clay Perry, she authored "Vanishing Greece." Boleman-Herring divides her time between homes in New Jersey and the Greek islands, traveling to and fro with her husband, jazz trumpeter Dean Pratt.

Hey Liz! Yo Momma Wears Army Boots !!

Too bad Yo Momma wasn't as rabid a liberal as you or she would have aborted you in an effort to save Mother Earth.

And when Sarah Palin is in the Whitehouse, pls feel free to relocate to the nearest universe.

There’s a real simple answer to your plight.

Quit the black race, and join the human race.
