jeff, wherever you are

keep soaring. You're free from these bonds.

definitely a picture/letter

of racial sentiment in a HUGE section of our overall populace today in the 18th century, yes, 19th century, yes, 20th century, yes, 21st century, yes. American culture has NEVER evolved from pre slavery hate, the reason(s) for the Civil War or post civil War Jim Crow segregationist thought and in a case like this, possible action. Sure there are good, non racist people in this country, just not enough to stop the killings/ murders/executions of POC or hateful ignorance like this. This is getting sickening to the point of extreme disgust at the ignorant, usually illiterate, shallow, cretinous, unenlightened, moronic people that populate this land. Just getting downright sickening. I'll be glad when I can leave. America's racists, I'm sick of you. You're a pitiful example of your race.

my type of human beings

bless her and her son's souls

she is a 'real one' putting the upright 'moral' people and their hypocrisy right out there, in truth, on front street. Anyone not moved by this letter is part of the hypocrite crowd and you're welcome to them. I salute you Ms. Underwood.

for what they allegedly did

they did not deserve to die like this. A murder at the hands all these criminals in blue, hiding behind a badge. So fucking predictable in this day and age. Black and don't do a turn signal, you got 62 police cars after you. Black and unarmed, over a hundred rounds shot at you, with many entering the body. Black and walk in the streets and don't immediately obey a white cop, you're dead. Be looking at a toy gun in a Walmart for a family member and some mean spirited white person calls that you are armed, dead. Sell loose unlicensed cigarettes on the streets of New York, dead. Be a 12 year old child playing, 'probably cops and robbers' in the park with a toy gun, dead. Scared of a white police officer tazing you and runaway, dead, shot 8 fucking times in the back. If a cop stops you for nothing, dead, spine broken in 8 places and trachea crushed. Be a teen walking home from the store with skittles and tea and a wanna be cop tells you to stop and approaches you, you fight back, dead at the hands of white privilege. All of these executions were of unarmed human beings and no threat to an armed executioner of the state. I should also mention that in this time of executions, say since Trayvon Martin, many unarmed black women and a child of 7 years old have been slaughtered by executioners of the state.

Since Amadou Diallo, this travesty of justice and humans rights abuse has been ongoing. If you are black and/or depressed or mentally ill and murdering police officer is white, 9 out of ten times, they will walk free on some bullshit technicality or with an out and out racist decision by more white officials. Keep showing the world what you're made of authorities and privileged citizens in this land of the free and home of the brave

wow, sad

the human potential being wasted. One of these women could find a cure for cancer, end racism, sexism, homophobia. Could become POTUS and do all these things. Religion is not good. Faith in something is good. But not at the expense of hating others who are not believers such as them.

very, very interesting

I was devout and all that stuff at one time until I saw how racists used religion to be 'better' than black christians who are fooled into acting just like the racists by being bigoted against people who loved each other but were not up to the 'standards' of the church. This cult is despicable and evil. How christianity has been used as a control tool, of women today, slaves at one time, is amazing. I'm glad I found the truth and got out of a very racist church. It really is a long story, but yours is very interesting and helpful in understanding this Quiverfull movement and this family of note, the duggers. thanks.

sad part about this young woman is

if she just get's lies that's all she can regurgitate. Really when you get down to it all american education requires is, take my information, from whatever source, change the words around and regurgitate. Not find the possible flaw(s)(critical thinking) and offer positive alternatives(more critical thinking needed). I am not trying to offend any enlightened teacher who encourages thinking "outside the box".

I had an english teacher(high school) and a sociology instructor(oh, we battled)(college) whom I respect to this very day. But ingest, regurgitate, all I see and hear today, still.

on edit: at least there is spirited debate going on, that's hopeful. Maybe on day she will hear a truth that will make her turn off foxsnooze or know that her peers and possibly parents are wrong. Hope.

thank you for the link

and this article of truth.....

obviously

yet it is also obvious the GWB and the PNAC crew made it possible, recently, in historical context, by formenting disunity and providing arms and personnel(Bremer III and his 'firing' the Iraqi army ect; ect , in a very large way, for the the fermenting hatreds of which you allude to be able to gain the violent and tragic momentum these groups have achieved today. That's all I'm interested in. The age old animosities, mean just that the area was ripe, with the right set off circumstances and political vacuums, Iraqi Wars I and II, to erupt again. YES, Georgieboy and Darth made this happen, this time.
