After reviewing your disgusting, worthless, ****house video Ron, I think the President absolutely made the correct decision to enjoy the holiday and go golfing.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, January 16th 2018 at 11:50AM

You call it disgusting, worthless, ****house video, why? Is it because this video reflexed back to the history of equal rights in this country and voting rights as well for all of the people of The United State of America. WOW!!!.

You call this major pivotal point in this country's history disgusting and worthless, speaks volumes about you and your personality. WOW!!!

Steve Williams Tuesday, January 16th 2018 at 4:20PM

It’s especially disgusting given we are celebrating honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I can’t even express what a S H I T HOUSE YOU ARE LIVING IN.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, January 16th 2018 at 7:26PM

Especially when Trump asked the question, by making dark skinned countries like Haiti and other African countries by calling them S***HOLE countries.

Trump comment was the flash point of the MLK holiday weekend.

What did Trump do on MLK DAY?

Steve Williams Tuesday, January 16th 2018 at 7:34PM

On MLK day I reflected on the legacy that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. left me, and how badly it’s been abused by those who claim AUTHORITY over it.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, January 16th 2018 at 9:15PM

That is great Steve but the question is "What did Trump do on MLK DAY?"


Steve Williams Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 9:44AM

I’m sure he reflected on the legacy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. left all of us. His mental health is excellent. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for all you racists.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 10:25AM

If you would have seen this video report, you would have known that this president just tweeted out a tweet and then this man went golfing.

This is really nothing in comparison to the history of modern day Presidents. WOW!!!

Steve Williams Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 12:02PM

The President made the correct decision to go golfing. He had no reason to do any service to the news gods you so slavishly worship.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 1:12PM

Did you see this view this video report?

Steve Williams Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 1:32PM

What did I say in my very first comment Ron? “After reviewing...” Do you know what it means, to REVIEW a video?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 3:29PM

Then tell me, what did other modern day Presidents on MLK DAY?


Steve Williams Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 4:07PM

I don’t know and more importantly, I don’t care. A show of service means nothing compared to the disrespect you and your kind have shown with this absurd blob.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 6:59PM

Your silence on this subject the president racist question and then regular intent and meaning is deafening. This is the same type of attitude that florist in Germany during the highlight of Nazism.

Don't you hear it "SILENCE from you." I don’t know and more importantly, I don’t care. The world is watching.



Steve Williams Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 8:01PM

The only silence I hear is from your followers.

Steve Williams Wednesday, January 17th 2018 at 8:12PM

You’re a hater Ron, and it wasn’t Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that taught you to be a hater.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 8:34AM

Did you see that my supports have put me in third place as Most Active Bloggerss and first place as Most Popular Bloggers with over A half million hits, now that is "SILENCE.

I can't afford to hate. What Dr. Martin Luther King Jr taught me was to be watchful and be a wear of my surroundings and seek the truth.

Steve Williams Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 9:26AM

You’re a hater. Only a hater would post a gratuitous “girther” attack. And nobody gives a **** about your silent hits.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 9:49AM

Now I can tell you, what I don’t care for is our president average about five lies told a day. What an embarrassment on the world’s leadership.




Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 10:05AM

That Bull 💩 of Lying by the president of The United States of American is something you seem, that you can’t see.

Steve, Do you think that the president will tell you lies?

Steve Williams Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 10:59AM

That’s not the topic of this blog Ron. But I do think that you will lie about the teaching of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Steve Williams Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 11:03AM

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Steve Williams Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 11:06AM

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.

Steve Williams Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 11:13AM

We must use time creatively.

Steve Williams Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 11:16AM

Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 2:48PM

Stop sounding foolish, I know that you think will not be apart of this video report, be for real.

Steve, Do you think that the president will tell you lies? YOUR REPLY: That’s not the topic of this blog Ron but in the same breath, you said this: But I do think that you will lie about the teaching of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Then Steve, it is OK for you to tell me what you think about this: "Steve, Do you think that the president will tell you lies?"

Steve Williams Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 3:16PM

You are outraged that the President didn’t perform a service for you, because you would have been more outraged if he had. And you never want to miss an opportunity for outrage, now do you Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 3:38PM

Steve, outrage NO!

Steve, Do you think that the president will tell you lies?



Steve Williams Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 4:38PM

What do you think Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 7:18PM

I don't have a clue about what you think or what's on your mind, Steve.

The question is: "Steve, Do you think that the president will tell you lies?:"


Steve Williams Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 7:42PM

Why do you want to know Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, January 18th 2018 at 9:04PM

Hey look Steve, I think that you are a very interest person, that is why.

The question is: "Steve, Do you think that the president will tell you lies?

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 12:45AM

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and your requirement for Presidential service to your news gods, are far more interesting.

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 9:12AM

Is this what’s got your panties in a bunch?

The national Martin Luther King Day of Service[28] was started by former Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Harris Wofford and Atlanta Congressman John Lewis, who co-authored the King Holiday and Service Act. The federal legislation challenges Americans to transform the King Holiday into a day of citizen action volunteer service in honor of King. The federal legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on August 23, 1994. Since 1996, Wofford's former state office director, Todd Bernstein, has been directing the annual Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service,[29] the largest event in the nation honoring King.[30]

Several other universities and organizations around the U.S., such as Arizona State University, Greater DC Cares and City Year, participate in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. In honor of MLK, hundreds of Volunteer Centers, and volunteers across the country donate their time to make a difference on this day.[citation needed]

The only other official national day of service in the USA, as designated by the government, is September 11 National Day of Service (9/11 Day).[citation needed]

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 9:23AM

Martin Luther King, Jr., Service Day.--
``(1) Assistance.--The Corporation may make grants to eligible
entities described in paragraph (2) to pay for the Federal share of
the cost of planning and carrying out service opportunities in
conjunction with the Federal legal holiday honoring the birthday of
Martin Luther King, Jr. Such service opportunities shall consist of
activities reflecting the life and teachings of Martin Luther King,
Jr., such as cooperation and understanding among racial and ethnic
groups, nonviolent conflict resolution, equal economic and
educational opportunities, and social justice.

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 9:30AM

“Such service opportunities shall consist of activities reflecting the life and teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr., such as cooperation and understanding among racial and ethnic groups...” I think your video and your reposting of it fails this test, miserably.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, January 19th 2018 at 12:22PM

I think your video and your reposting of it fails this test, miserably.

What are you talking about, Steve? Are you talking about the way, past presidents reflex on Martin Luther King Day, in comparison to what Trump did?

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 2:01PM

Not at all Ron. I’m saying this attack on the President, this politicization of the MLK national day of service, is antithetical to its stated purpose, “cooperation and understanding among racial and ethnic groups.”

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, January 19th 2018 at 2:30PM

It all started when Trump asked this question: ""Why are we having all these people from S---HOLE counties come here? [This is according to several people briefed at this meeting."

That also his signal or a dog whistled to Trump's supporting base.

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 3:09PM

I’m one of Trump’s supporting base. Sorry Ron, it was Durbin that dog-whistled YOU.

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 3:13PM

And now he’s dog-whistling you to a government shutdown.

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 3:16PM

If you are so concerned about Haitians, why haven’t you accepted Robert’s challenge?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, January 19th 2018 at 4:51PM

It was not Durbin who asked this question: "Why are we having all these people from S---HOLE countries come here? Then on his very first MLK day, Trump made a morning tweet and then he went golfing. That is a very loud DOG WHISTLE and CODE not to respect MLK Day, Trump didn't.

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 5:49PM

It wasn’t Trump who asked that question. And when Trump commemorated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., all you dumbass liberals did was to shout at him was he a racist. F UCK THAT.

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 5:53PM

JANUARY 12, 2018
President Trump Signs MLK Day Proclamation President Trump signed a proclamation to honor Martin Luther King Jr. day. The civil rights activist’s nephew and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson also spoke at the ceremony.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, January 19th 2018 at 6:38PM

It may well be that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition is not the glaring noisiness of the bad people, but the appalling silence of good people. Their have been a lot of silence out their to consider.

Steve Williams Friday, January 19th 2018 at 8:33PM

In America 2018 the greatest evil is the blaring noise of the lawless.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 1:06AM

Are you talking about the children who grew-up as DACA's children?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 1:16AM

Are you talking about the children who grew-up as DACA's children as lawless?

Steve Williams Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 3:48AM

Absolutely Ron, those children are lawless. But I was talking about you and your news gods, the champions of lawlessness, as you have shown just this morning with your fifteen new lawless blobs.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 9:36AM

You are jealous!!! Have you lose your mind!!! That is Bull 💩, my covering the news, informing the people here on Black In America of current events is not against law and not the subject of this blog. Stop, using those tools of the heathen because no tool formed against me, will not work.

Now back topic. The reason why DACA is the law or what DACA is, in short: is an American immigration policy that allows certain undocumented immigrants who entered the country before their 16th birthday and before June 2007 to receive a renewable two-year work permit and exemption from deportation. DACA does confer non-immigrant legal status but does not provide a path to citizenship.

That is the LAW!!!! Those immigrate who are enrolled in DACA which this LAW are NOT lawless. These Dreamers are following the LAW and now Trump wants to use they law to come and deport them. Thanks Trump!!!

Steve Williams Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 10:08AM

You are not even lawful on your own blob Ron. You make up the subject of your blob as you go along, on a whim, and you do the same whether it’s God’s law (or as I call it, Natural law), Constitutional law, Congressional law, or State law.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 11:06AM

Steve, is this is your attempt to REFUTE what I last posted about DACA? Then you tell us what the intent of DACA, can you do that?

Steve Williams Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 12:27PM

The intent of DACA was/is to circumvent Congress.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 2:50PM

So, I see that you can’t REFUTE a thing I said about DACA.

Steve Williams Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 3:03PM

“That is the LAW!!!!” Show me lhe law Ron. THERE IS NO DACA LAW!!!!

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 8:21PM

Just to be politically correct, The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was an American immigration policy. Now saying that, this policy allowed some individuals who entered the country as minors, and had either entered or remained in the country illegally, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit.

As of 2017, approximately 800,000 individuals—referred to as Dreamers after the DREAM Act bill—were enrolled in the program created by DACA.

Now Steve, this is a FACT, That this DACA policy was established by the Obama Administration in June 2012 and rescinded by the Trump Administration in September 2017.



Steve Williams Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 11:02PM

That’s right. And now that this policy of not enforcing the law has been terminated, Congress is being forced to do its job and make a new law.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, January 20th 2018 at 11:21PM

Agreed... Let the senate get to work.

Steve Williams Monday, January 22nd 2018 at 3:37PM

We are making progress.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, January 22nd 2018 at 8:09PM

Still don't know what the president wants.

Steve Williams Monday, January 22nd 2018 at 9:54PM

Sure you do Ron. You rail about what we want every day.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, January 22nd 2018 at 11:17PM

My comment was: "Still don't know what the president wants," The key word in that comment the PRESIDENT!!!

Steve Williams Tuesday, January 23rd 2018 at 2:23AM

It sounds like you are playing follow the leader, that negotiating with the President is like negotiating with Jell-O. It must be embarrassing to be defeated by Jell-O.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, January 23rd 2018 at 10:21AM

Children's Health Insurance Program funding for SIX YEARS, was truly victory for the children of The United States of America, that The Democrats pulled from the JELL-O. That is GREAT NEWS.



Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, January 23rd 2018 at 10:35AM

Steve, the Children are the winner's.

Steve Williams Tuesday, January 23rd 2018 at 2:27PM

The Democrats didn’t want CHIP and then 3 days later they did. Did you know Ron, your party is pissed that Schumer caved?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, January 23rd 2018 at 10:42PM

The citizens of the United States of America wants CHIP.

Steve Williams Tuesday, January 23rd 2018 at 10:49PM

The citizens want lots of things. The Democrats are not done embarrassing themselves with their constant obstruction of thise things the citizens want, starting with a 2018 budget.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, January 23rd 2018 at 11:41PM

Time will tell.
