pardon the typos... my keyboard is acting up... 

Sue,

My appologies.  I was thinking of the FBI stats.  It had been a while since I looked.  www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_43.html

Actually Sitasmom,  MLK did register as a Republican in 1956, as did the majority of African Americans living in the deep south back then, since civil rights movement was strongly opposed by the southern democrats; though MLK  did vote  for BOTH  Kennedy and Johnson. 

In fact the mass exodus by Southern African Americans from the Republican party really didn't happen until the 1970s when the Republican Party/Nixon developed their infamous  "Southern Strategy" to lure white Christian Dixiecrats over to the Republican party by pandering to their anger over the fact that they (the whites)  could no longer legally discriminate against blacks,  by championing so called "states rights", at the time a euphemism for discrimination laws, at least according to George Wallace.

No prob, DR.

I have no doubt that you maggs, feel threatened by the big bad Rev Wright, but I would really like to know exactly why you feel so threatened by him.  What legions are you sure he is unleashing upon your silly lilly white ass?  In fact I would be willing to bet quite a load of cash you haven't even heard or read any of his sermons in their entirety - at least until this moment when you go look one up. 

So please maggs, you stated Reverend Wright's views on white people and America are dangerous.  Back it up, exactly which "views" of the Reverend are you aware of, can you prove, point to some specifics regarding the Reverend, and explain exactly how this is dangerous to white people and America - maybe it's that all African American men scare you or maybe you are once again just  talking out of your ass.

Sue,

I'll bet a load of cash that Barry knew the Rev's views..........Why did he lie?
