“As the George Zimmerman acquittal and President Obama’s speech last week in reaction to it are giving racial antagonists in the conservative media like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity plenty of ammunition to sow more controversy”

Tell me more, Atlanta “Black Star” newspaper, about how Obama’s perfectly neutral speech is causing “racists” to just be all up in arms.

No racial antagonists on the left (Sharpton, Jackson,Toure etc.)

Ted Baxter is a populist not a conservative.

Most folks on the left including our race baiting president would complain if Zimmerman was hung with a new rope.

The Zimmerman verdict DID NOT sow racial divisions.

The media, Obama, Sharpton, Jackson and liberals stoked racial division with a passion almost never seen before.......

and succeeded.......so much so, it is frightening......

This media genius failed to include the medias contribution to the escalating tensions.

I wonder why?

The “Atlanta Black Star.” I assume it caters to black people. But no, it’s not racist.

So long as an “Atlanta Black Star” exists, they will continue to empower racism. Black racism.

America can think Hussein, the “racial antagonist” in Chief for the division.

Hey I just got an email from Mitch McConnell today that began with the words “My fellow conservative...” So you never can tell.

O’Reilly has switched this new mode on like a light switch starting this week, and while he can be effective when he decides to use his bully pulpit for that purpose, the cynical will wonder if maybe he’s just after ratings.

I don’t think so. Say what you will about him but he considers himself the champion of “the folks” and is fed up with political shenanigans that screw everyday people at the expense of the elite. I’m giving him benefit of doubt and hope he does some good. The way he smacked down the idiot last night who tried to spin instead of answering BORs question was one for the textbooks.

They left off the “and Crescent” as first proposed by Malik (Zulu Shabazz).

Looks like 95% of Blacks are racist while only 30% of Whites are.

Pray for America to Wake Up

“strangely accusing black people of not caring about black-on-black crime and the corrupting influence of hip hop culture—when they are both topics that the black community talks about so much that it borders on obsession. “

Ok......The ONLY thing I’ve heard from blacks in the ghetto about this is that:

A) You don’t snitch (crimes go unreported and thus unsolved)

B) You don’t speak ill of thug rap artists because they are just local “brothas” that made good.

Past that none of these clowns give a whip about what that trash music does to kid, nor do they care about the crime past some fake “peace rally” they hold after an especially bad gang hit, where they do nothing more than read sh*tty poetry about MLK and Malcolm X, listen to some gospel music, have some of the local hood rats that knew the person that got shot go on about needing to “end da violence”, listen to the local mini-Jessie Jackson prattle on about “injustice” and the “youts” needing more money to keep them off the street while a bunch of “men” of the neighborhood (mainly the ones that cleaned up for the cameras) nod in agreement.

(You can do a YouTube search on it and it is uncanny how this applies to almost every instance)

They then go home and do jack squat.

I suppose they were holding out for the innocuous

“George Costanza Alexander Louis”....

Not that there is anything ^wrong^ with that.

(BOR is conservative?)

Only on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Tuesdays and Fridays he takes the middle ground on Thursdays he sides with the liberals on the issue of the day.

'No Snitching' is an intentional, community-wide attempt to obscure legal justice from being served. Now the same communities are screaming about legal justice not being served. It's hard to take such hypocrisy seriously.
