39. This man and Jessie Jackson have sucked the life out of the black community. They have never cared about the crime, the babies born out of wedlock, education, blacks getting their butts used by the democratics for the last 50 years. It's all about him and Jessie with Rev Wright now coming in a strong third. God help the black community to open their eyes and stop letting their gutter rats speak for them!!

41. And our country sinks deeper and deeper into the abyss as Americans keep fighting over something as stupid as the color of skin instead of trying to make this country better. I'm glad the Asians and Middle Easterners are taking this country over day by day. They surely won't screw it up as bad as our black and white racists forefathers did....

43. To Fed Up With White Trash:

I am glad your fed up with white trash, us white peolpe have been fed up with them for a long time. That said, might I suggest you invest in an standard English language course, the way you communicate smacks of utter ignorance. Are you really that poorly educated, or are you one of those young punks that likes to act like a gangsta thug. Most of the readers on this biard did exactly what I did when we read your post, (laughed and shook are head at the idiotic statements you TRIED to write). Sean Bell did not need to die, but Sean Bell, was impaired by alcohol, in absolutely the wrong type of place ( a seedy strip club) was unable to back down from a confrontation that he should have walked away from and then failed to stop and drop when he was finally notified that the people he was arguing with were under cover police. At any point in time Bell or somebody in his party could have employed common sense with the knowledge that his wedding was in the morning. They failed in every aspect of self preservation and basic street smarts. As a result of the actions that they initiated outside of the bar (failure to yield, making sudden movements with their hands that the police interpeted as reaching for a weapon, attempting to flee the scene and driving their car in an intentionally dangerous way that caused that car to ram into the polices car). As this all unfolded in seconds the police who really do look forward to surviving their shift interpeted Bell's actions as IMMINENT DANGER to their lives and went balistic. Sean Bell was cut down and died before ever realizing the joys that life had in store for him, this is tragic, but the whole incident was completely avoidable and I support the actions the police took as i would have responded in a similar fashion. If you put yourself in those police mens place you would have done the same thing. Now do try and respond articulately or please go away.

44. White people arent the ones that enslaved their own people and then sold them to any one that had comerce, (or money) that in cludes aribic, chinese and the white people that brought them to the USA and set them free. so if the black man wants more resposibility then take responsibility for your actions and quit whining the evil white man. FED UP WITH WHITE TRASH WHILE YOUR SITTIN HERE HATIN THINK ABOUT THIS.
