[Matt Decker]

Donovan,

I haven't stated my opinion on this topic what so ever. I just stated what Imus said.

Matt,     Imus directed his comments at identifiable young girls by name, some of which were only 17 years old.      Rev. Wright directed his comments at society as a whole for their wrongful actions against his people and others in society.      If you cannot recognize the difference between attacking those that have attacked and done wrong to innocent people, vs. attacking a bunch of young black girls for being black, sorry, but we cannot have a conversation because we see things entirely differently.     Best Regards,     Donovan

 D,

Actually Imus called the whole Rutgers basketball team a "bunch of nappy headed hoes". Not minors. Indeed hurtful comments. Did Wright make hurtful comments?

Take care
Matt

  Gary,     I disagree. Don Imus attacked a high school girl for her hair and called her a hoe for doing nothing but being a good student and a good athlete.      Wright made political statements about the country, some fact, some opinion. He did not attack people for their individual traits as a person. Nor did he attack minors in high school for their racial attributes.     Best Regards,    
 Donovan

The only conclusion I can come to is that your candidate for sainthood has a huge double standard when it comes to racism and free speech. Specifically, it's OK for him and his but not so much for the melanin impoverished. You might want to put the halo
 on hold, your hero has clay clodhoppers.     g    ----- Original Message -----   From: keely emerinemix   To: Tom Hansen ; vision2020 at moscow.com   Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 1:53 PM  Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Barack Obama's Unity Speech Today in Philadelphia  
I have never in my life been so proud of someone in public office before.  It was, for me, a church experience:  Truth spoken prophetically, without adornment, cowardice, or guile.  I believe it will be viewed with the historical and social significance of JFK's "ask not" speech.  Obama demonstrated a presence that I have not seen in 30 years as a voter, but that well embodied the spirit of Lucretia Mott, Mary McLeod Bethune, Frederick Douglass, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, and George Fox.  Saints and heroes, all.

OK, Dale -- pile on.
