Don't buy into one thing the Reverend Al says. He's a disgusting opportunist racist media whore.

Racist??? Isn`t he black?

[Jane]

Think it speaks volumes that MJ named an outside guardian (Diana Ross) in his will , even he did'nt trust the family to care for his children after his mother as gone ?

Meanwhile a lawyer is going to attend to Michael`s fortune. And Michael`s mother is said not to like this decision made by court. I wonder why the court has made such a decision?

[Sondra]

Racist??? Isn`t he black?

Yes, he's black. What's that got to do with it? Think for a minute.

[Sondra]

Was'nt looking at one individual Sandra my observation was across the board of speakers , and i do think Obama as energized African Americans , just a personal observation .

I know. Just giving my opinion of the Reverend Al. Don't know how well known he is outside of the U.S.

[Jane]

Yes, he's black. What's that got to do with it? Think for a minute.

Very interesting. A black racist. A reverend.

I expect because most of it will go to his creditors.

Btw, black racists; you should read Miles Davis' autobiography. You don't have to be white to be a racist.

Racism
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

"A particular race" can of course by any race.

I remember watching a show (I think it was Jerry Springer) where the episode that day was people who were racist against their own race.

[BlueMeanie]

And of course, one of the biggest racists of all time was a white European that went by the name of Hitler. Though Stalin could give him a run for his money.

[Mairi]

Anyone care to enlighten me on the Reverend Al Sharpton? I don't know anything about him.

[An Apple Beatle]

And of course, one of the biggest racists of all time was a white European that went by the name of Hitler. Though Stalin could give him a run for his money.

Interestingly, I do have a 1966, Collins English Encyclopedia, which describes "Negro's" as;
"Name denoting dark skinned, wooly haired African peoples. A branch of the Negroid division of mankind which includes the East Asiatic papuo-melanesians. The pure negro race inhabits W. Africa, South of the Sahara an East or Nilotic section extends from the east Sudan  to the Kenya coast. They have narrow heads, broad noses, prominent jaws, large teeth and thick lips."

Dosn't really paint a great picture of us does it?


I do know the Kenyans have recently accused Brits of worse crimes than that of Hitler and this was AFTER the holocaust.

I thought mankind could grow out of this by now. I'm yet to see any coverage of the funeral as I have kind of switched off from it all now. Making it too much of a 'Black' thing is ridiculous. Music is above that.

If you want to measure racism by numbers killed then I think Stalin's slaughter-total easily outdoes Hitler.
Poor old Adolf can't even claim the european number 2 spot, what with Leoplold II of Belgian overseeing the death of something like 20 million Congalese at the end of the ninetenth century.
Indians talk of their own holocaust, when Winston Churchill allowed 3 million Bengalis to starve to death in the 1940's.

[BlueMeanie]

Oh yes, Hitler was a girl privatecat compared to some. Still, you wouldn't take him home to grandma for tea and cream cakes would you!

[BlueMeanie]

Indians talk of their own holocaust, when Winston Churchill allowed 3 million Bengalis to starve to death in the 1940's.

Difficult position. Because of the fall of Burma the only way to get food to where it was needed would have been to divert supplies from the warfront (1943?). And he wasn't prepared to starve his soldiers. Still, something should have been done.

[Jane]

Stalin wasn`t an absolutely white person. He was a Caucasian from the south, from Georgia, Tbilisi, like Saakashvili. Gruzia.

[BlueMeanie]

Yes, well he wasn't black!

[Sondra]

Very interesting. A black racist. A reverend.

I'm choosing not to explain this one.

[DaveRam]

I was in town today and a  Asian girl was stood infront of me at the bus-stop , the poor girl had a really bad case of Vitiligo the same skin condition MJ is said to have had .
It really is a very disfiguring condition , but she was bravely showing it to the world , not sure i would have been so brave , it made me think .

[Jane]

I'm choosing not to explain this one.

I am choosing to explain.
A reverend who is a racist. Really! How can that be? What`s wrong with this world?

[Jane]

Yes, well he wasn't black!

You are right.
