Great read.

(Sorry about all the line breaks - I thought I needed to add them and it turned out I was wrong.)

[Jet Jaguar]

BTTT

[DallasDeb]

Thank you. I got goosebumps reading it!

[maine-iac7]

AMEN

[Buddygirl]

This man said it all in these sentences:

“The message I took away is that we cannot continue to pick at the scab of America’s past but must become the balm that heals it. That’s the way forward—arm in arm, moving together, toward a better future.”

I would gladly walk arm in arm with him!

[teletech]

Jerome Hudson, you sir are a patriot and a leader. May God Bless you and keep you.

[TheConservativeParty]

Great article, and the line breaks made it easier to read!

The intelligent Americans of all hues want to protect the freedoms for which we have all struggled! The welfare mentality is that of dumb animals, regardless of colors. What the outside looks like really is inconsequential to God, so wonder why it is so important to us? It's the motives of the heart that are critical.

"As a nation at war, standing in division and debt, Beck challenged the crowd to return to God." I wonder why fools like HIssyfit Matthews or the entire MSNBC network cannot get that? Perhaps the college student shows them up so completely that they must recoil from the Truth and swallow more lies. God bless this young man, and God bless America. Wow, Heaven is going to be such a fabulous place, with fellow residents like this young man!

[NohSpinZone]

OK anyone else choke up with pride in the Millennials in reading this? Thank God they’re not all text message-obsessed morons.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"One of the older black women in the group asked me if I felt like I was "selling out" for being one of the "tokens" in the Beck rally crowd?"

Blacks are not ALLOWED to attend events such as Beck's without risking being ostracized as "Uncle Tom's".

That's the biggest reason there are not many black people there.

They're REQUIRED to line up behind those of similar skin color and the whites approved by them, and criticize everyone else.

Some "progress".

[Finny]

Wow! I got choked up reading about tears streaming down everyone’s face as they sang “Amazing Grace” together. God bless this young man!

[OldPossum]

That was darn good inspirational message. That young man will go far.

[Mygirlsmom]

He (Sharpton)is going to ask you to ignore the now overwhelming proof that 50 years after the Civil Rights movement, blacks are now destroying each other faster than the KKK could have dreamed."

Wow!

[South40]

Mr. Hudson is a great writer. While I wasn't at Beck's rally, I can relate to a lot of what he had to say.

Sharpton's message was one off divisiveness. It was either "them" this or "them" that, "we" this or "we" that.

Blacks in America need to wake up to the reality that they are being played, not by the Democratic Party of yesteryear as it ceased to exist long ago. But by a bunch of snot-nosed incompetents hell-bent on expoliting the poverty they work so hard to create.

God Bless Mr. Hudson and those like him, and God Bless America.

[XRdsRev]

This country needs more Jerome Hudsons.

[KevinB]

The New Jersey woman he refers to in the article is my friend Patricia.

[fullchroma]

Dear, dear Mr. Hudson — In addition to all your 300,000 Restore America friends, you have another in Tennessee. I’d be your friend anyway but it’s very nice to know you’re a fellow Conservative! Wonderful writer, too. Please keep ‘em coming.

[mware]

To be honest with you I think there would have been at least another 10K people there but they were worried about a possible confrontation with the New Black Panthers.

I can't tell you the number of people who tried to talk me out of going to the rally because of it. One even going so far as to offer to give me the same amount of money I spent on the ticket if I did not go.
