Here goes Quannel X2 starting up the race issue again. You of all people should agree with the Grand Jury system. My point Einstein was if this was a black girl and two white guys, you would be crying race. Any person with half a brain could read your post and figure that out. But since the victim is white, you choose not to give an opinion. Very typical!

The problem is that would hold true going to a black school. I think a lot has to do with understanding. I think the majority of people confuse "not understanding" or "unaware" with racism. I think it's completely different. I have worked with a black women for about 12 years. When we first met, she thought I was racist because of things I said. One I recall was when she called me a racist, my initial reply was I was not because I had a close friend who was black. Her response was that very statement was racist. She explained why and it made sense. No one had every told me that. I still disagreed with her, but at least understood where she was coming from. Hmm? So hippy, you've been to a Black school and you know how it is? Never went to an all black school, but went to Thomas Jefferson, which was 50/50 mix of blacks and whites. I just reviewed my post and don't see where I ever said I went to an all black school......so I don't know how it is. If your quoting me saying, "The problem is that would hold true going to a black school. I think a lot has to do with understanding." What I was speaking to is Bucof2010 statement. He was speaking about how little whites know about blacks, and I was making a point blacks know as little about whites. Out of all my black and might as well throw in hispanic classmates I never knew them to be racist. At TJ, there were blacks that beat up kids for being white..........I would call that racist. You and Quannel X must hang out together in the pub. Both of you dream in your own world. There you go Dove, showing your true colors. I was totally wrong. Black men do no wrong. They are totally innocent no matter what the facts are. I was just making that up. : : : then you put in me in the same sentence with your soul mate Quannel X?? You are so entertaining..........you can't make up your mind who you support. Keep it coming, it entertains me!

I think just as some of us bring up racial issues there is an opposing side who are in denial about how race affects our society. Just the fact that you have students in this area who have never had contact with kids from other races until they enter college still is hard for me to imagine. Bridge City, Lumberton, Vidor, etc. Race is real! Race denial is real too! I dont agree with alot of what dove says but I can say that this statement, with everything Ive seen personally and have first hand knowledge of, is VERY accurate! His statement is still racially motivated. He just happen to mention all white schools. What about schools that are majority black? They probably don't have many white friends.....

Bridge City, Lumberton, Vidor, etc. Race is real! Race denial is real too! I lived in Port Arthur for 27 years. It was a 50 50 mix of white and minorities. When I was in High School it was not a black white issue, it was a blacks/whites being racial against Asians and Vietnamese. You are the opposite extreme of white racism. Based on all your post, you use emotion to form a conclusion instead of facts.....OR you use one fact (a man is dead) without looking at any other facts. S what does your statement have to do with my post above? Its a very true statement I say above. I thought my post was pretty clear. You claim that Bridge City, Lumberton and Vidor kids never have contact with other races. While maybe not in school, they do go to other places besides school. I brought up my history to let you know I grew up in a diverse school district with friends of all races. So, my comments are not from a guy that was raised by the KKK. As for Laws, rules or anything pertaining to the black race you see the glass half empty. I reviewed your post and not one positive thing about race has been brought up by you. You have only supported the black side. I am trying to weigh out both sides and choose the side that's right. (not being political). Dove, you seem to be passionate about your beliefs, and I like that. More people might give your beliefs a second thought if you would look at all sides.

I did not say that people who voted for him, specifically, were ignorant. I said that there were ignorant votes on both sides, as displayed below. Never did I say that all freeloaders live in Section 8 housing. Again, my response was to BLUEDOVE3's judgemental comment, which is pasted below. I love how you're not calling out BLUEDOVE3 for his judgemental comments, you're only calling me out for my seemingly judgemental comments. What, exactly, is that supposed to mean? I've seen this ordeal countless times with my own two eyes. I've seen the freeloaders and the hard workers, and I've seen the children of the freeloaders who turn to crime and living off the system because they've never known anything better. I've seen all of it. Again, you're talking to the son of a social worker. I've grown up around this stuff, I've grown up going to the office with my mother and watching all of this unfold, and I can name countless experiences to back up everything I say. You're assuming that I have no experience in this field because of my point of view and the area in which I live and have grown up. You're taking the same judgemental action that you claim the good people of Southeast Texas do. You're characterizing me based on no factual information, whatsoever. Yes, we have been here for a long time, and it's been getting worse and worse with every election, but we've reached a new level, and for you to deny that can be construed as the epitome of ignorance, much as you, BLUEDOVE3, and DickVitale (a.k.a. Quanell XYZ) like to try and characterize Southeast Texas as. Oh, no ma'am. I don't feel this way just because Senator McCain didn't win. Most, if not all, of my opinions are based on my own real world experiences, of which I have many. I have felt the same way about these "freeloader" issues for most of my teenage years, and those opinions and feelings come from my own experiences with the welfare and social systems. GREAT RESPONSE PNG-BAND-KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is picking on your statements because they are true (and sometimes the truth hurts) AND she is not picking on BlueDove because she agrees with him. It's called RACIAL double standards! They probably don't teach that in high school. ;D -

It has always amazed me that you didnt need a college degree to hold the most powerful position in the world. -

Her experience is a Governor for 2 years and a Mayor for 10 years. Name me some of those bright, articulate, accomplished GOP women who have been doing big things in government and in the business world for years. You have NOTHING to support that argument. : : -

And I bet you think Palin could run the country, don't you? Her resume looks a lot better than Obamas Really? Now what is her educational background? She is a college grad. However, her executive experience is a Governor for 2 years and a Mayor for 10 years. He has no executive experience. Plus the fact that she has a fairly nice...uuuhhhh... ;D she is hot! -

he also went to state prison for dealing crack.... a felony... Would you defend a Klansman like you're defending TurdX? They are one and the same. See, this is one of the major differences in you and me. I'm willing to accept a *change* in a man's life such as George Wallace the obvious racist into George the human being. Whereas, you can accept X's old life as a drug dealer. Once you are able to move on from this old news, then maybe we can start discussing his politics more in detail. We might find that you and I aren't that far apart in agreement. But I won't hold my breath No, once again you are totally wrong. I am totally willilng to accept a change in a person's life. However, TurdX hasn't changed. Just two days ago he vowed to tear Lumberton to the ground. Do you condone that? You didn't answer my question either. Would you today defend the head of the KKK? TurdX is a different side of the same coin as the KKK. QX is not going to tear or burn down down Lumberton. Maybe in a figurtive way such as his burning words of hate towards the town. Would I defend the head of the KKK? Sir, in my lifetime I have ate and conversed with more racist than you ever will in your lifetime. How many have you dined with? I have just replied to one
