Fox New Should Be Admonished For Consistently Blaming Black Voters For Proposition 8!

If you've ever gone to college & done any research, you know that statistics are to be taken with a grain of salt. I watched Fox for about an hour because they had an announcer saying "Blacks vote against Propositon 8! Is this the start of the culture wars?" First of all, Fox News could care less about gay rights. I mean, they bash San Francisco every chance they get!This is a obvious ploy to continue the culture war they've been engaged in since I've been watching them. I hope people realize that all racial groups helped Proposition 8 pass. And excuse me, but aren't there black gays? Did they vote against themselves? Stop using phony unreliable statistics to create division in America.

Another thing that I wish people would really stop doing is comparing the civil rights movement to the fight for gay rights. Being black is the same as being white,yellow,brown,etc... So,use all of these other examples to assert that people should have the same rights whether you are gay or straight. Being gay & black are two separate issues. You can be a gay white person & hate blacks! I have seen & dealt with a lot of racist homosexuals who would never dream of sleeping with a black person. They never felt that they were the same as blacks. Why is it that blacks should identify with being gay if they are not? Women have been denied equal rights as well. How many women voted to yes on Proposition 8? I just don't understand why this is being made into an issue by Fox.I support the right for a person,gay or straight,to be happy.Hopefully,California will find a way to make everyone happy. Elton John suggested that using the word "marriage" may be why Prop. 8 passed. He believes that it could be a easily won battle if it was called a "civil partnership" instead.

I Hope This Lawsuit Really Brings The KKK Down!

Warning! There is some profanity & racially offensive language in this video. It shows a KKK member spewing ignorance & hatred. If you think that everything's good for blacks now because Barack Obama got elected, look at this video. Racism did not magically evaporate when Americans checked the box for Obama. I think that this country is moving towards ending racism. But, you have hate-filled people who find this new reality to be unfathomable. They feel that it is their duty as white men to preserve "white power."

I expressed disbelief that slavery was still around in my last posting. It is equally unbelievable that the KKK is still a major organization that is constantly recruiting people. I'm sure you've heard on the news about the Oklahoma woman who went to Louisiana to be initiated into the KKK. I guess she changed her mind & wound up getting killed as a result.Follow this link for more on that story:

Why is the KKK still an issue in America? If you want to stop racism, you can't allow these groups to indoctrinate little children with hatred. We know that racism is passed down from generation to generation. When I was a little girl, I played with all types of races. Little kids are not hung up on the color of one's skin. They just want to have fun. It's the parents who discourage these friendships & put these discriminatory views in their children's heads. How can you fight that? That's why these attitudes still persist in American society. Now that we have a black president, maybe some of them will wake up & realize just how narrow their small minds are. This article I read is about a lawsuit that has the potential to bankrupt the KKK. I hope that they put these bitches out of business!Here's an excerpt:

"The lawsuit alleges that Edwards, the supremacist group's founder, uses money from Klan dues, contributions and merchandise sales "as his own personal funds."

He lives in a trailer on the Klan's heavily guarded, gated compound in rural Dawson Springs, Kentucky. The compound is the site of the Klan's annual white power rally and music festival, know as "Nordic Fest," according to the suit.

It was at the compound, the suit alleges, that the Klan incited its members to use violence against minorities.

The center is seeking to win a judgment that would allow it to seize up to $6 million in assets.

"We want to win justice for Jordan to compensate him for his injuries and put this group out of business," said center spokesman Booth Gunter. "We've won a number of these suits in the past."

In 2000, for example, the center won a $6.3 million jury verdict that forced Aryan Nations leader Richard Butler to give up the group's Idaho compound. In 1987, a $7 million verdict in Mobile, Alabama, targeted the United Klans of America.

Richard Cohen, the law center's president, said, "The Imperial Klans of America is one of the largest Klan organizations in the country. It promotes violence and intimidation against racial and ethnic minorities, homosexuals and so-called 'race traitors.' While on a recruiting mission, members of this organization targeted and viciously beat our client solely because he has brown skin."

How Is It That Slavery Still Exists In The 21st Century?

We live in a very modern advanced society. Women are powerful entities who are in control of their own destinies. The days of subservience & obedience seem to be of a bygone era. Unfortunately for some, it is not. There are some females who are being sold into slavery as we speak. Here is an excerpt from Economist:

"BORN into slavery in Niger, Hadijatou Mani was just 12 years old when she was sold for the equivalent of $400 to a wealthy Muslim businessman with four wives. At 13, she was raped for the first time by her new master, going on to bear him three children, two of whom survived. Both were taken from her. For almost nine years, she had to work long hours in the fields and in his home without pay. If she did anything wrong or tried to escape, she was beaten. But after she fled and married a man of her own choice, she was charged with bigamy and sentenced to six months in jail. “No woman”, she says, “should suffer the way I did.”(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:
