Understand where you're coming from, now.
I certainly don't agree with the fact that a few individuals that have the money or ability to get people to listen are lumped in to the position of a representative. I, for one, have nothing in common with, nor do I enjoy anything by, Micheal Moore. However, he somehow represents my stance on things, since he happens to be white.. at least... according to my neighbors.

With how corrupt the Louisiana polital machine is, it will be interesting to see how the new Imminant Domain Supreme Court decision will play out in N.O. I predict that big money will find it's way into the pockets of these politicians and alot of N.O. will be condemn as a "blight" to economic survival of the city. You will then see hi-rise condos, hotels and casinos being built in their place. So much for their "disenfranchised constituents." I just read most of this thread, what moron thought LA is a "Red" state? It is about the most liberal and Democratic state in the South.

Well if thats the case, you dont think MLK would be completely disgusted by what a lot of the black people are doing down there about stealing tvs and jewelry and heaps of clothes? I realize not only blacks were doing this but you seemed to earlier say it was expected because they had been through such trying times.

I believe that he would be disgusted with the way some have acted.
Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.

its the same attitude that oprah has when she says [censored] like "martin luther king was a great black american".....evidently whites cant look up to him either as a great AMERICAN...nothing more nothing less.....
BIG EFFin' Bullseye!!! This exactly why we need to move away from the "hypen" American names, like African-American, Italian-American, etc.
I agree with you Antonio about the previous comment about the four "black leaders" are leaders of organizations and don't represent all African Americans. But heres the point alot of us have with it, I think. You never hear black people say another black or black group is wrong in public when they get the chance, its like a "we gotta stick together" and can't bash one of our own. I know for a fact that when white people do something wrong to a black person we're the first people to want to yell the loudest about it on TV and the news, so I guess we'd like the same thing to happen on the other end, a sign of "good faith" I guess you could say. As far as David Duke being a white leader, well he is, he's a leader of a bunch of VERY racist people but the difference is he doesn't make any bones about it, whereas Rev Al, Jesse, Qwamai aren't as bold. The only one thats a PURE racist is "swap meet Louie" Lewis Farakahn In a speech once he called us the "blonde haired, blue-eyed devil" I can tell you this, I have blonde hair, not much of it mind you, but I'm NO devil.
Now on the other hand you get someone like Bill Cosby that actually gets on TV and calls out his own for whining about everything and blaming the white man and not knowing how to talk correctly (who does though ) When something like this happens he's called an "Uncle Tom", why is that I ask Its that mentallity that I call "urban mentality" and its alot of the problem we have in our country, especially here in the metro Detroit area. Speaking of the metro Detroit area its the most liberal city in America, believe it or not Berkley. This leads me to yet another question that I'd like Antonio or others to answer for me, why do black people keep voting for Dems for the past 40 years and their still complaining about the same problems to this day 
In closing let me pass this little story on to balance things out a bit. My wife and I were visiting relatives in WV about 2 years ago. We walked down the local mart to pick up some donuts for breakfast. When we were walking back this pickup truck approaches us (I know, thats a surprise) He asked my wife and I if we knew where so and so lived. We told him we're not from around here. He asked us where we lived and we told him Detroit. He then went on to say that he drove through DEEE-troit when he drove a truck. Then in a stunning surprise he dropped this joke on us. He said this..."I heard that Canada wanted to annex Detroit", I said "why is that" and he said "they wanted all N-words". I was so shocked to hear someone just drop the N-bomb that quickly. I was very uncomfortable and just walked away. I may not be black myself but I was very offended by his comment/joke, it was no joke at all IMO.
Antonio, I may have only met you once and talked to you several times here on the computer, but I consider you a friend
