AS SOMEONE WHO IS PRE THE 60S "I" WANT TO SAY THIS AND IT IS ONLY ABOUT ME...

Irma: Your comments are right on target. When we black Americans say and do nothing, we are condoning this kind of mistreatment. The period that we're in is pivotal. We must call the treatment of our first black president for what it is: racisim, or the inability to respect a black man's leadership. But if you ask me, he is righting the ship that was once sinking under the leadership of other presidents, both Democrat and Republicans.

What we black Americans need to do is get the national and international media's attention again. CNN gave us Black in America, but we blacks continue to be spit on by white Americans and other groups that think they are better than us. My hope is our black American children are reading the writing on the wall. I also hope they respond with their minds rather than their brawn.

Be blessed, and continue to be a blessing.

Dear Irma:

The Obama Administration left the decision to view his speech tomorrow up to the individual school prinicipals. I suspect that only a small minority nationwide will not allow his speech to be broadcast in their schools. The extreme right has issues and they are not going to cooperate, period. These are "die hard" racists and the thought of having a non-white as President of the United States scares them to death because they fear everything that they can not control. The only thing you can do is pray for them and keep stepping. You can't allow their lack of spirituality and social consciousness get the best of you.

Sincerely,

Gail Cooper

Irma, you had every right to have an "N" fit on that man. It is nothing to regret, as he deserved it. Now you are worried about this image your people are violent. Oh, I am sorry, the white man is not? So this is one of those stereotypes that needs to be shattered. Let's not forget how this country wrested itself from the tyranny of others. I am not talking about street violence, but this: "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary..."

The Civil Rights Movement was about this law that our government would not enforce that is being ..oh well....

U.S. SUPREME COURT DECIDES BROWN v. BOARD OF EDUCATION, STRIKING DOWN SCHOOL SEGREGATION AS VIOLATION OF FOURTEENTH AMMENDMENT'S EQUAL PROTECTION" CAUSE.....better know as JIM CROW!!!!!!!!

Thank you Jeffery as I was actually afraid to write this blog. To tell you the truth it is much more easy to deal with the White man about our being mistreated than it is to deal with my own Black community about how we abuse our own selves.I am just so glad that I do not have to do this often(smile)

But, my need to protect our president is mush more important than me protecting me any day.(smile)

Oh, and by the way has anyone heard or seen the NAACP in a media frenzy since they buried the "N" word???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!?

so sorry my sister as it is over 50 years too late to ask me to not fight against Jim Crow. and God knows it was not prayers that killed Dr. King or any one else yester day or today or tomorrow trying to stop us from getting equal justice...and if you have forgotton that they killed Jesus for trying to help the helpless then why would I expect them to not kill me/us to put a stop to trying to be treated as they want to be treated?!?

son't worry in those days I was a Christian but it never stopped their bullets tehy sent after me or my family that they hung...plus I am sure by now you are tired of me tal ing about how they burned my home town????

I repeat it is too late to save me from trying to protect my family from Jim crow...

NOw Gail I will ask you a question directly...just you as we are made up of individuals...WoUld you teach your children or your church members to disrespect your president and not allow him to speak to the children of the country that he has been put into office to protect and to be a rOLe model for?!?


Would you be in favor that our president be treated as someone who can not speak to our children EVENTHOUGH every president has done for say the past three Republican presidents has. Oh, and by the way president bush talked to them about taxes???WHICH IS NOTHING BUT DISCRIMINATION NOT MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT THAT IS UNSLES YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT DIFINITION OF THIS THAN THE SUPEREM COURT HAS WHEN THEY MADE THIS BEHAVIOR IILEGAL IN THE LAST CENTURY!!!!!

ME I WOULD NEVER DIRESPECT THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OR BREAK THE LAW AND I CERTANTLY WOULD NEVER ASK OR HELP ANYONE ELSE TO DO SO...and never ever a child!!!!!!!!

They now have poor Mrs. L. Bush out saying how they should show the president's speech. I am so very glad that even Mrs. Bush has not stopped some of the main stream media still talking about how her husband was allowed to speak to our public schools asking our children to send money to the children in Iraq...but, even more damaging is tHis is going to go against the FREEDOM ofSPEEC to HAVE PRAYER IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS...NOT TO MENTION THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE...yes this may have started out with what brother Mozell calls WHITE NOISE...but it is going to be like that 'shot heard around the world' before this is over.(SMILE)
