How exactly does one make an effigy of a black person without making the dummy black?

Curiously, the Rev. Gil Ford and Watley were not offended by and did not condemn the actual murders, which were as racist and bloodthirsty as they get. No sensitivety there at all.

You have to hang white dummies, then its not racial.
Then you use eubonics, in large letters to explain, slowly, that it was their knuckel dragging mentality and brutality that is being protested. Of course it wasn't a racial issue ... just becasue they raped and murdered white folks .... Give me a friggin break !

Lets see, five white folks stripped of their dignity and brutally murdered; but a couple of stupid effigies are all the NAACP is talking about? "I realize there is some NAACP prejudice, but I didn't think it was to that level."
Seems these people have the victimization role down to fine art.

I guess they will really get bent out of shape when we hang up the real things!

how sad the truth is off limits so often nowadays - to that brave and outraged resident I say KUDOS
To: Lassiter
Well of course it's offensive. Ettiquette dictates that you BURN people in effigee, not hang them.

The Rev. Gill Ford, the NAACP regional director in Denver, said he heard about the display from the local NAACP branch. To many African-Americans, he said, a noose is especially repugnant, "It's going to be like the swastika to somebody who's been in a concentration camp.
Really, "Reverend" Ford? You'd find an equivalence between the "African American Experience" and a concentration camp? After 30+ years of racial set asides, an un even playing field, affirmative action, quotas, hate crime legislation, blindingly rapid rising standard of living, and seeing your "community" rise in stature to have the purchasing power of the fifth largest country on earth to be in someway comparable to a concentration camp?
Or did you really mean a death camp? Where Millions of Jews, Gypsies, Mental Defectives and various other "Undesirables" were worked until near fatal exhaustion or were exposed to ghastly medical experiments and then were gassed or shot in the head?
You know, I've got to say, you've lost me in that comparison. Maybe you should re-examine the statement as it seems like it might have been made by someone with an umbrage disorder.
It's an effigy of two animals who committed a horrific act. You've got something missing from your soul if upon seeing this you somehow relate to the Carrs and feel offended. You've long exhausted my compassion for your "plight" and are rapidly expending that of my fellow Americans.

Remember, the snipers were definitely white gun-lovers. No doubt about it at all. However, once they turned out to be black Muslims, it's "oh, nevermind." President Bush is criticized for mentioning that Saddam wanted to assassinate his father, yet, he is called racist for defending this nation from Iraq.

Now I follow, thank you. Actually, I don't disagree with this at all since I see the left as abandoning the uncertianty of democracy and majority rule for the assurance technocracy and expert rule.

I took a few minutes to decipher that post, and I must say I agree with a lot of what you said.

These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!
Dakmar...
Where you and I diverge is on the Evolution/Communism thing. You seem to view Darwin and evolution as the beginning of the end for enlighted, moral civilization, while I think Marx, class struggle, and the "dictatorship of the proletariat" are the true dangers.
God bless you, I think we both have a common enemy in the BRAVE-NWO.

Michael Watley, a 35-year-old black carpet layer, said he found the display to be a very public and racially offensive symbol Pretty specialized... is there that much demand for black carpet?

Missionaries have said for years that American educational/media institutions are far more closed than in places like Russia. This underscores their point. What was it someone said, to find real communists these days you have to visit an American university?

I'm afraid I'm missing something, but I'm not sure why you keep posting cut-n-pastes to me.
