D,<BR><BR>Actually Imus called the whole Rutgers basketball team a "bunch of nappy headed hoes". Not minors. Indeed hurtful comments.

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. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wright made political statements about the country, some fact, some opinion.

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.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>g</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(0,0,0) 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: rgb(228,228,228) 0% 50%; FONT: 10pt arial; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial"><B>From:</B> <A title=kjajmix1@msn.com href="mailto:kjajmix1@msn.com">keely emerinemix</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal"><B>To:</B> <A title=thansen@moscow.com href="mailto:thansen@moscow.com">Tom Hansen</A> ; <A title=vision2020@moscow.com href="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com">vision2020@moscow.com</A> </DIV> <DIV

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.
