You know it is ignorant people like Miss Hart why everyone still sees black and white instead of just people. I hope she gets a rude awakening herself. WHITE PEOPLE DID VOTE FOR OBAMA AS WELL!!!! And no, not for just the white half. It is understood that it is a big step for black America. Well hello, it is a big step for ALL of America. We united together AS ONE and chose our leader. SOmeone who will work with other nations and put Americans first. That is something we have not had in a long time. We all should unite as one nation and back our new President Elect. As a young female worried about the future of our children, may be some of the load can be lightened.
OH! TO ALL FELLOW YOUNG MOTHERS, BLACK AND WHITE ALIKE. WE ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO RAISE OUR CHILDREN TO STOP SEEING COLOR OF SKIN AND SEE PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE. RACISM, black and white alike, IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

My goodness, what foolishness!
A man like Obama projects so much dignity, and I hope he speaks strongly against such selfish, foolish, lowdown buffoonery!
People of color–why not follow in Barak’s example and make your OWN way, instead of expecting other people to do it for you?
The biggest and best thing Barak can do is to serce as a living model that YES WE CAN–we can stop being racists. We can stop thinking of white people as “damn this, or damn that,” and see our fellow countrymen and women as our brothers and sisters.
AND, he can inspire people of color to raise themselves UP! Just as all people of success and satisfaction have done.
DOWN WITH RACISM!
DOWN WITH FOOLISHNESS!
PEOPLE OF COLOR, WISDOM IS CALLING YOU.
WILL YOU ANSWER???

Oh for heaven’s sake.
Some looney toon who, for all you know, is mentally disturbed or drunk or both, uses Obama as an excuse to slap a white cop and you ballyhoo it as a failure of the Obama campaign.
Five whole people were arrested across from Grant Park after the celebration!?! There were at least a 50,000 in the park alone and close to a million living the lakeshore. And this singals some kind of breakdown of our society!?!
This is truly pathetic.

is this the way you want the world to see you, that is acting just like the haters want you to act. this man [obama] showed you how to act with grace and dignity, no matter what was said of him. that is why he won. it would be wrong for white or black to hit a cop. you don’t get to act like you want and undo all this man has accomplished. he has not even been sworn in and you are acting a fool. because now you will disgrace your own people. and there has been enough of that also. and i am not a white woman, i was alive when MLK made his speech, and i have seen it come to pass. read the speech and then get your head out of your ass

No, we white folks cannot tell black people to “get over it” until we show them that we have eliminated racism on our end. Cops still treat black youths with more suspicion than they treat white youths. It is not up to black people to overcome OUR racism.

(I’m not white.)
No, it’s not up to Black people to overcome White racism. But they darned well don’t have any right to start slapping police of any color, white, black, or green with purple polka dots. And Black or White people who own the sense God gave gravel won’t try it.

One silly person in a crowd of at least 50,000?
Five people arrested in the city of Chicago between 11 pm and the next morning?
That’s pretty darn good for any crowd and any city! I’d guess that level of non-violence doesn’t hold as a norm in very many places!
Did Atlanta, did Houston, did San Diego do that well the same night?
Michele, you really should try confronting your fears and live as our Lord suggested; without fear.
But then your posts wouldn’t be nearly as funny any more.

Statistically blacks youths are involved in a grossly disproportionate percentage of violent, drug and property crimes. Learn some crime statistics some time and you will know why they are treated with greater suspicion, they have earned that suspicion with the disproportionate percentage of crimes they commit as compared to their population. Oh let me guess, crackers are responsible for them committing the crimes too.
Next Please!

So that makes it OK to treat black youths as guilty instead of Innocent – before they’re tried?
You are truly an…actually, I don’t have a word for you that wouldn’t get me banned here.

Treating someone with suspicion isn’t declaring them guilty. Get a dictionary dummy.
Next Please!

and now there’s news that students have been punished for simply saying Obama’s name:
http://www.wapt.com/video/17928161/index.html
it should be evident to all of us that there are still a lot of racial issues that we have to deal with — on both sides of the racial divide
waitaminnit — racial divide? like it’s either/or? We have a president-elect who is both black AND white. So in many cases it’s both. And in many other cases, it’s neither: we still have to deal with racial issues regarding native americans, asians, latinos, middle-easterners, etc…..
And yes, white people still have issues to deal with and still contribute to the problem. So forgive me if I don’t get all up in arms when white folks get treated as they have treated others for the past 400 years….

Which only demonstrates and proves your disingenuous claim that you are concerned for justice. A person truly concerned for justice is always concerned for justice for all people on all occasions and never uses past offenses as excuses to lessen the concern for certain people. Typical LEFTY LIB hypocrite.
Next Please!

“Innocent until proven guilty” is part of our code of justice to protect us from premature punishment by our government. It does not mean that the officer who was assaulted didn’t really get slapped, or that no one saw the slapper do it. Under Scott R.’s logic, all arrests would be a violation of our rights. Try to learn something about the proper sequence and application of terms before uttering such empty statements, sir. And by the way, a 19 year-old female is no longer a youth by many standards such as military, voting, etc. Also, if the slapper was any other ethnicity, including white, he or she would have been arrested just the same. Utterances such as yours only serve to further oppress minorities through ignorance.
