I'm trying to set the record straight and explain to ignorant people (you may be one) that the ghetto is not something that black folks created because they thought it would be a fun place to live.
I'm trying to explain to ignorant people where the word itself COMES from. That it stands for discrimination and segregation that is a centuries-old tradition in Western life - from Europe of the 1600s up to Nazi-occupied Poland in the 1940s, and on up to modern Chicago and D.C. today.
If I've made a mistake, please feel free to correct me.

Everyone can see your primary objective is to "get whitey." On the lesser side, the word ghetto reaches beyond its origin and does apply to certain black neighborhoods...where the democRat Party flourishes...with help from idiots like you and Obama.

I'm giving you one last chance to think it over and not prove yourself clueless beyond belief.

No, he's right. They are not free to live near me.

WOW, Harrisson where is YOU T-L-E-R-A-N-C-E!!!!

I assume you were trying to say "Your tolerance?"
Look, I have a low tolerance for uneducated bigots. If you want to tear down Obama or tear down the Black race, at least have your sh!t together and speak from a position of factual knowledge.

'Cause nothing is worse than a stupid ignoramus complaining about how stupid and ignorant another race is.

Know what I mean?

Now git back to work and finish ironing those sheets, so's ya kin be ready for the rally this weekend.

I suggest you try your own medicine and "hit the books." A book other than The Communist Manifesto, sucker. Doing so might be your only chance you have to remove your history illiterate, politically inept head from your behind.

Only thing I want to GET is bigotry and prejudice hiding behind ignorance. If you're an ignorant bigot (and you sure sound like one) and that's the basis for your dislike/hatred of Obama, well... that's your problem. Not mine.

No, it doesn't - and normally I don't take that approach EXCEPT when *first approached* with sarcasm, sneers or insults.
The person I replied to (she, I think) has launched an extensive campaign of slander, villification and hatred against Obama for WEEKS, if not months. I've kept an eye on her posts for quite some time.
This is rabid Goebbels-style propaganda, disinformation and hatred she's been spreading. So, no, I don't feel charitable towards her because I'm confident of a complete absence of good will on her part.
An open-minded or civil person is someone with whom I'd use an entirely different tone because I'd see him/her as one whose mind could be changed after an exchange of views.

There are several paid posters on this thread. They offer short insults designed to inflame. They are paid by Republican dirty tricks. I encountered Bunnie right after Obama won the Iowa primary. They are paid by the post.

I respect your right to believe that...

But only under one condition - that you didn't vote for Bush in 2000 OR in 2004.

If you DID...if you are a BLACK BUSH SUPPORTER... then you, my friend, are the one living in "fairy-tale land."

And you bear responsibility for the mess that the USA is in right now.

TA-TA, indeed.

By the way, the verb you were looking for is "converse." Not "conversate."

Converse.

Enjoy this beautiful Friday, okay? I gotta grab some lunch. Bye!

Sad part is...most people posting anything on here are getting 'paid' while they spew crap from their fingertips onto their employer's computer. I'd venture to say most would br fired for what they write.

No I don't wonder why he wasn't there...seems to me I heard his itinerary(as a state senator) had already confirmed all this.
So, you seem not at all interested in the McCain pastor issues of the same nature...what a bleepin' surprise.

the church won't release the tapes.

None of the above, thank you.
Blacks in the ghetto may not realize it but there are no fences holding them in.
That ended a long time ago.
