    You know, I haven't been posting too much of late. But I'm not going to be intimidated not to post either. I'll speak my mind. Either you like it or you don't. But when it comes to name calling and other shit that doesn't need to be, I will say something.
    And indirectly didn't call ragu a bigot. I can speak for myself and have no problems calling him one if I felt he was one.
    As for Jesse and Al getting a check from corporate Amerikkka, I don't know that for a fact and neither do you.

    Why would you use "Amerikkka" instead of "America" if you're arguing the side you're on?

    No one gets treated fairly. Life isn't fair. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. Minorities aren't exempt.

    I'm not using the term because he's black. I'm using the term because he's a poverty pimp. He needs as many African-Americans to stay poor and uneducated as possible because if they don't, he's out of work.

    This man is full of revisionist history.

    True. But when you're getting treated unfairly because you're a minority, it crosses the line.

    I'm glad that you explained it. As for my spelling of Amerikkka, I've long spelled it that way. The last line in the pledge of alegiance "with liberty and justice for all" is not true in my eyes.

    I agree with Stringer that this is what the real problem is, but I wonder - what artists are playing during Rutgers women's basketball warmups? What music is playing in the locker room? (I honestly don't know. Hoping someone that might cover or attend Rutgers games could enlighten me.)

    Blast Imus because he is an idiot, but also make sure you are taking a stand against all other ho promoters.

    Well, McNuggets, later in the presser Essense Carson answered a question about that issue by saying: "Just because rap and hip-hop and other music of that genre has desensitized our society to the use of those terms doesn't mean that it is right."
