   Yes, I think Obama shoud have commented about the Ground Zero Mosque controversy? He just said the wrong thing. I think his comments were wrong and he should be put in prison for treason.

   I just heard the c omments on laura Schlessinger on your Monday repeat, anhen d I think Dr. Laura was wrong–when she made that rather wierd apology. The fact is that the black estaglishment made a serious tactical error back at the start of the Civil Rights movement when they decided to banish the word “nigger.” Wny? Because 50 years later and we are no closer to abolishing the word than we ever were. Oh, yes, from “polite Company,” (self-defined) But the reluctance of them (you, for example) to utter the word gives it a power that no other word posesses, and it owuldn’t possess if it had been treated as it really is, a harmless little colleciton of phonemes, which the utterance or non-utterance of, some people have turned into a religion.

   I’m a good deal older than you, and probably than your grandfather and i can remember a time when somebody wanted to ge offensive or demeaning to a person of color, that was not the word they would bother to use. The irony is that those words have all fallen out out of fashion, while “nigger” elevated to totemic status, continues to be bowed down to.

   I am a person of color. So called black person as a socially accepted way to segregate and demonize folks. Let me explain. I do not look black. You all on this show do not look white. I know when one looks it up in the dictionary it says: The point is the definition of black or white glorifies one color and demonizes the other. I am a nuwabian/nubian. Or of color.
   Okay, Dr. Laura. I do not think she said anything wrong. She should not have apologized. It is time for caucasians to get comfortable about being uncomfortable about approaching certain questions or statements that appear racisit. becaue they are not usually stated. There is nothing that she stated that is not factual. I think she lost her 1st amendment trights because she cannot repeat what she said and she cannot be herself. And I think u are right about her future in radio.

   I have never listened to her or seen her to even identify her was this so called rant that she was unfortunately fired over.
   Most so called black people who ignorantly and stupidly call themselves black also must recognize themselves as the n word. So if they are addressed as such it should not be a surprise.
   This is where it becomes ridiculos it is a word. You the person give the word power by actually letting not only that person control your behavior but create negative energy and continual meandering generational stress you want to identify with. The word is not you! Get It! So you keep it moving.
   The word means nothing!
   Howard Cosell got fired because he said monkey. Imus the texas size hat on cnbc. Because he called women at Rutgers nappy headed hoes in a joke. I kow several jokes that may be deemed as racist but is funny. Isralei and palestinian jokes, Jamaican jokes, so called Black American jokes, Spanish jokes.
   Al Sharpton and Jesse jackson are part of bigger picture to pretend to be leaders but do nothing. I have never seen Al Sharton’s natural hair I have a problem with a man who still wears curlers in his hair at night. When I did some research on Jesse and is Boule connection it made sense and I was not pleased. It made sense why his flag was adopted by GMHC.
   they are not leaders for folks of color! Never was.
   Because so many people identify with this BS term as who they are. The sponosorship of the show would dimish or be greatly affected. So she has to lie now to make it look it.

   * The sellers of the house can refuse anyone from buying their home which includes that couple of color. The realestate company can be sued. It depends if contracts were signed and the point of sale. The sellers maybe sued it depends. But on the surface the real estate company can be sued who were they? Were the sellers jewish?
   Think about it; would you want to be the caucasian lets “them” in the neighborhood?. We lived in a caucasian neighborhood and when we were selling the house we took down all indications that the house was owned by a person of color. It is what it is.
   Racisim we never die. No one wins the race in racisim. Laws can curtail the actions but never the heart.
   ^ Tyler Boudreau interview: Military members are political and have taken sides when they follow their creed to obey the president.
   ^ Mike Papantonio interview.
   There is already a mosque built and has been there which is closer to Ground zero. The community center is in the community. just like JCC on 82nd is in the community of temples.
   Iraq war vet interview:
   What I got from that is “A political” means I went in their blind and ignorant and stayed that way because it was a job and most people think (especially in the military) their jobs are who they are; is just sad to dimish oneself to a chosen position in life. We as human beings are much more than that.
   ^ Man bedding his horse. Horses or animals do not have a legal voice of choice however they are consisdered not only lesser than human in the word of god but they are property.
   Last time i checked slaves were considered property and one could fornicate with a slave, have love for a slave. Just another thought not my belief system.
