There were all kinds of images on this quilt, and NONE of them are offensive.

"I am not one of your locally home grown house negroes. I don’t shuffle, I don’t tap dance, and I don’t take out the garbage… Some of the citizens in Martinsville need to wake up because I am black. I am also a voice for black people and we are tired, we are fed up and we are not taking it anymore” said Sharon Brooks Hodge, a member of Martinsville City Council, speaking to a Martinsville television reporter.

I don't know who pulled YOUR string, but I for one feel exactly the same, but I'm white. How are we going to resolve this?
There were all kinds of images on this quilt, and NONE of them are offensive.
“If we could only go back and tell them lazy assed plantation owners, huh?”
Obviously those who whine about everything would rather be back in Africa where famine is wide-spread...as is diseases...and on any given day a gang may come in and rape you or chop your arms off cuz they feel like it. Oh...and nothing is FREE. Yup...all the complainers would rather be there and I’d rather they were still there as well.
The racial divide in this country is only going to get worse. It’s beyond the point of no return.
Dear children,
Some people believe that blacks can not be racist. This gives them free reign to spout the most racist tripe you can imagine. They excuse their racism by pointing to some other perceived racism. They do this to such an extent that they literally believe they are not being racist. They consider themselves to be assaulted on every side by white privilege.
Stay away from these black people. Race is all they think of from morning until night. When they read the paper they see racism. When they watch TV they see racism. When they buy gasoline they see racism. When they park their car in a parking lot they see racism. When they buy groceries they see racism. They are poisoned. You can not change them.
For some of you this may have been your first such experience. That is unfortunate but it’s better you learn now before you get out into the real world.
“I’m failing to see how a quilt can offend anyone.”
Oh I don’t know, I understand that “the Reverends” (That would be Jessie and Al) have threatened to sue Sears because all the washing machines they sell are white. Sears has countered that while that is true, it’s mitigated because inside the machines, all the agitators are black!
Back in the late 80’s there was another fine pos that was on the council or something (a fat guy), cannot recall him but he and JWP were on the same wavelength.
The child artist is very bright...illustrating how learning empowers you and makes you grow in positive way. Hope this experience with a negative projecting adult doesn’t tamper that passion for learning
lord what an ugly harridan
we have a huge generation of black politicians projecting their own ignorance and self hatred on our country...largely
seriously her way of thinking is not the exception...it’s the rule
they say “I’m offened” and white folks...especially up north roll over paws up like a submissive dog
she is likely hateful from being left with too many babies by her string of sires and watching Django over and over
Say thank you and shut up.
Ain't that the sad truth!
I can recall a couple of notable examples. When Rep. Charles Diggs (D-Mich.), who represented a black district in Detroit, was forced out of Congress due to corruption charges that later sent him to prison, the voters replaced him with George Crockett, a hard-core Communist who had defended Communist Party leaders in the notorious Smith Act trial of 1949. And earlier, voters in a Harlem, NY district replaced the corrupt playboy Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. (D-Ny) with our dear friend Charlie Rangel.
If only she had...if only....
I saw it. But, it only takes the color “black” to set off racist tripe. I think this lady watched that episode of South Park where Chef got pissed off about the Town Flag....
(black stick figures of “hangman”.) Screw her. I’d listen to her and then go on and ask to see what the School Lunch menu is if I were a member of the council.
That very stupid and bottom of the barrel Hodge is showing exactly who she is. A real loser. I suppose the people that vote for this trash now know who they really supported and voted for. A cheap coward.
The Bible must be racist...
John 3:19
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
>> Black communities in America seem to gleefully elect thugs, idiots, racists and criminals to represent them
Ask yourself “why”. Could it be that thugs, idiots, racists, and criminals actually ARE representative of the community?
Therein lies the larger problem.
Probably a good life lesson for the kid.
Black is not a color. Black is the absence of any color.
It doesn’t matter what the geographic region that the government person represents - you have to consider that they are supposed to be the “best and brightest” of that region.
