These people have w-a-a-a-y too much time on their hands........

Those images are so critical for our children," says Legrand Clegg, Compton city attorney

These folks need to get a life.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Me too, Martin. Me too. But it ain't looking good.

The homosexuals should be chiming in to say that he was gay any second now.

The sad "black" portion of the continent of Africa has no culture and history to be proud of - so they have to morph another culture to their reality. I hate to tell them this, but the ancient Egyptians regarded and used blacks as slaves...maybe they can sue for reparations (after the Jews, of course)...

[TommyDale]

"Those images are so critical for our children"

Mainly because their list of positive role models is quite short.

re:"Those images are so critical for our children," says Legrand Clegg, Compton city attorney and a spokesman for the protesters. "We want them to focus not just on rappers, athletes and entertainers but on figures who are high achievers. What could be more elevating than a little boy who ruled the world?"
 
I can think of several things more relevant that some dead foriegn theocrat. Booker T Washington's life story for instance.

"What could be more exciting than a little black child that once ruled the world".

I'll tell you what could be more exciting, black folks quit blaming everyone else and become successful. Condi Rice is a great example of a black person that is successful and respected. Maybe these folks should look up to her and try to make their own place in history. :P

[Joe 6-pack]

I guess the black race owes the descendants of Israelite slaves some massive reparations....

[evolved_rage]

What could be more elevating than a little boy who ruled the world?"

Thats a good one. More false self-esteem.

They already have Zulu warrior Oprah. What else do they need?

but on figures who are high achievers

King Tut was a high achiever? He was a boy king who became king at 8 years old when his father died and married his sister/half sister and died when he was 18. BIG DEAL! Besides Forensics usually can tell if the person was white or black by the facial features. I am sure it was right on the money. These people need to learn something about forensics before they cry racism!

[Skooz]

These Afro-centric whackjobs are a blight on the study of history.

Real historians know these loonies are a joke, but dare not say so publicly for fear of being labeled a "racist."

Steve Martin song King Tut:

King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he’d see
People stand in line to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How’d you get so funky?
(funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut).

(king Tut) Now, if I’d known
they’d line up just to see you,
I’d trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (king Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He’s my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut)

Dancin’ by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (waltzing Tut)
Rockin’ for a mile (rockin’ Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He’s an Egyptian
They’re sellin’ you.

Now, when I die,
don’t think I’m a nut,
don’t want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (king Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his Jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, lived in a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut!

[tumblindice]

I saw him on TV a long time ago.
He looked pretty pale to me, white hair.

A few years ago I ran into a young lady who insisted that Cleopatra was an African-American. I asked how Cleopatra could be considering the Greek 'influence' of Alexandria at the time and teh fact that there was was no 'known' America at the time for her to be imported from to rule Egypt. The young lady said I was just being racist.

I then asked if she was an Amfrican American, who took her ancestors to American and then brought her back? More being called racist.

So I said, 'do you mean she looked like an African-American looks today?' and she finally said I was correct. She had no idea of what Alexander the Great did in Egypt (Alex the Who?).

"We want them to focus not just on rappers, athletes and entertainers but on figures who are high achievers. What could be more elevating than a little boy who ruled the world?"

Oh yeah, right. Have the little munchkins daydream all say long about becoming Pharaoh. Why not present them with achievable goals like graduating from high school, to begin with!!!

[cyborg]

Well...with the Egyptian sun, there's not much of a chance he looks 'white' as in Nordic blonde blue eyed.

[C210N]

The real question: With whom did he sleep with? "History" cannot be finally written till that is answered

[TexasCajun]

Well, when a true African achiever is a rarity, one must adopt an Egyptian achiever.
