I'm glad the school board had the guts to stand up to these thugs. By what right does the NAACP protest that a black woman must get a certain job just because she is black?

I run a security firm with three of my buddies and I know we've lost out on certain jobs to less qualified minorities because we are white. Affirmative action is bullcrap. America is about (or should be about) the best man (or woman) for the job, period.

Blacks need to marginalize the NAACP like whites marginalized the KKK. And whites need to stop treating them like they are anything less than racist thugs. I can't imagine blacks trying to appease the KKK; why should whites try and appease the NAACP?

I'm not jumping into this, but pinging mhking.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

You've got that right. I have a really good friend who is a contractor for the government. The government has to award a certain percentage of contracts to minority-owned businesses. My contractor friend has a great reputation for the good work he does, and it galls me to see him lose work to contractors that charge twice as much as he does for shoddy workmanship. Most minority-owned government contractors do a half-assed job for too much money because they know they can't be fired. It's a total joke.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The NAACP is a shadow of it's former self. And rather than addressing the true ills of black America, they get wrapped up in these thuggish actions that do nothing but make them look like the fools that they have become of late.

Mind you, if someone dares challenge their position on this kind of idiocy, they/we become nothing short of "Uncle Toms" who have "forgotten who we are."

**The protestors plan to continue picketing outside the school board offices until school starts next Tuesday. And they say some parents are considering keeping their children out of school.**

Good deal!

>> "I haven't heard anybody read me my rights yet, what are my rights? Why am I being arrested?" Gatewood said as officers took him away, charging him with trespassing.<<

What? Doesn't know his rights? What a dummy. Everyone in this country knows his rights. This guy is an idiot.

Gatewood and several other people got angry because Dr. Regina George-Bowden was not chosen to chair the board. George-Bowden is black. Chairwoman Kathryn Meyers is white, and the vote to re-elect her was split along racial lines.

Some people in the black community couldn't handle the split decision along racial lines.

So, all of the white school board members voted for the white candidate for Chairperson, and all of the black school board members voted for the black candidate for Chairperson. Hopefully, because of this fact, it will prevent either side from accusing the other of racism.

Another mathematically challenged parasite.

[Glenn]

Why anyone would serve on a school board these days is beyond me. The pay is lousy and all you hear are gripes and second-guessing by anyone with a cause. Turn the public schools over to the causists and let private schools prevail.

As a Raleigh resident (right next door to Durham), let me just say.....

Hey.........it's Durham. Whaddya expect?

[Thumper1960]

You expected more from racist blacks?

"Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme..."

"The White man owes us!"

CRAP! You are owed nothing! Either work with fellow human beings or try your "gimme, gimme, gimme" in Mugabe's little cesspool.

We all know the way it should be, but the stupid activists and "political-correctness" promoters keep standing in the way.

[clintonh8r]

The naacp is opposed to voting along racial lines, unless, of course, voting along racial lines results in a win for blacks. Then it's OK.

[peedee]

Did'nt you get the memo, you have to be white to be racist. Come on get with the program.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

You might need the national guard so white kids can go to school!(sarcasm as of Little Rock in the sicksties)

[jmax]

Ever notice that blacks can vote along racial lines, but if whites do it, it's racially motivated?

[TheGrimReaper]

Mr. Gatewood really needs a counseling session with Rev. Jesse Peterson or some of the other brethren from BOND.

[F.J. Mitchell]

THis is the SOS that makes it almost impossible to narrow the gap between the races. Rather than encouraging black parents and the black students to devote their efforts toward tutoring and preaching the gospel of Captialism,"You can be anything you are willing to work toward being, in the USA" to black children, the so-called leadership demands prefferential treatment and affirmative action instead, which is the same thing as telling young blacks that Whites control their destiny. Nothing could be further from the truth.The Success and main streaming of all Americans, would be the best thing that ever happened, and rational people of all races agree on this.

If the bunch who spends so much time and effort demonizing Ms Dinlinger for her efforts to create an educational system that turns out fully educated students of all races and ethnicities, ready to make their mark in the world, and be successful and solid citizens, would encourage and unite with her effort-there would be few if any left behind.

Gatewood and his supporting thugsters at the NACCP, would probably be welcomed with open arms if they applied for membership in the KKK.

"I haven't heard anybody read me my rights yet, what are my rights?"

You have the right to remail silent, Mr. Gatewood. The rest of the planet would appreciate it if you would exercise that right.
