More and more of these "incidents" involving nooses and flags and spray painted threats, when fully investigated have been found to be committed by disgruntled Black People.

ala Sharpton pushing the Brawley fake rape by white kids---never happened.

There are crazy black people just like crazy white people. Racist Whites dont do this stuff anymore---they do other things---this is copy cat stuff, usually done by a minority seeking some level of attention.

Believe what you like, but do a little research and you'll find these things since the 80';s tend to have been staged by minorities for their own personal reasons.

Unless you can name the White folks who really did this, I dont know why they even bother reporting it. Lawsuit, or money maybe, beyond the attention?

YOU THINK THAT, i WOULD OFFER YOU A JOB HERE AT MY COMPANY, PUT YOU UP IN A PLACE, NO STRINGS, JUST TO SEE IF YOU COULD DO IT...i AM THE VP FOR A LARGE COMPANY, AND WOULD BE MORE THEN GLAD TO ACCEPT YOUR TRYING IT, IF YOU ARE BORN AND NEVER BEEN OUT OF PARIS TEXAS, AND ARE OVER THE AGE OF 21 WITH NO ARREST RECORD( NOT TO THINK YOU WOULD, THAT IS JOB RULE 1 AND 2) YOU HAVE YOURSELF A JOB, I WOULD EVEN GET YOUR LOCAL NEWS PAPER IN THIS TO DO A STORY ON YOUR EXPERIENCE, TOTAL UPFRONT AND ON THE LEVEL, NOW YOU THINK THAT OVER, AND LET ME KNOW, WOULD BE VERY INTRESTING, DON'T YOU THINK?

And by the way, it is a fortune 500 company, not anything shaddy or nasty, before anyone thinks to say that.

im very happy with where im at right now thanks though...i dont need to prove myself capable of being able to work in a fortune 500 company shady or not. the whole point was that regardless of anything just because you live in a small town doesnt mean shit. id rather be doin ok for myself with me and my husband than bustin our asses never seein eachother or bein unhappy beause of the stresses of a "fortune 500 company" on a daily basis. you can be happy and make tons of money without having to neglect your family. and i was saying that doesnt happen as often in smaller communities as it does in the larger ones because of how small the town is... if you dont know someone your friends know em and their friends know you or your relative its too small to get away with too much shit like that... yes we do have cheaters, liars, homewreckers, child molesters, killers, dope dealers, country bumkin rednecks, and mothers who throw their children in dumpsters... but tell me one community that doesnt have at least a majority of those and ill take you up on your job offer hunni. and as for the bars and beer stores.. paris has no beer stores the surroundings do ... but paris doesnt... and yes we also have bars but again thats not out of the ordinary. and the 3 in the small run that you are talkin about ... its just a matter of where your place is in the world yours is obviously at a fortune 500 company mine is being in a small town .... to each their own is alls im sayin

and the 3 in a small run that your referring too..... 2 of them are resteraunts that yes do have beer but are resteraunts...and are quite respectable in this town.. now the other... its more for us of the younger generation in my opinion so therefore has a shady rep im sure... i dont know much about it i dont go to bars or clubs ... just not my scene... but were not as bad as some would like to make us out to be.. well, no worse than the next town over.. and the next one to them .. and the one next to them, and so on .. you get my point

Before you stick your foot in your mouth again, maybe you should have your facts. I've never heard of a key club, so that tells me you hung with a crowd me and my friends have no clue about. People all over the world cheat on their s/o. Such petty unthruths about our pleasant town, would have others thinking you know what you are talking about, but you don't.

Second, you said Paris had more bars and beer stores per sq. mile??? You must have been in another Paris. Paris TX is dry. No liquor or beer stores at all. NONE. ZIP. NADDA.

Located on the east and west side of the city, a few miles from the loop are two (2) incorporated towns, that each have liquor and beer. Chili's, Applebees, and a few other places sell drinks, but you need a membership.

Please be so kind as to tell the truth aka FACTS, when you speak of Paris TX.

Ah now, that's the American Spirit! Split this country farther apart, that's the ticket.

Maybe not the entire South. But losing Texas might be a plus.

teetcher says,
"No we are denying anything. There is a far larger percentage of blacks hating whites, than whites hating blacks."

Blacks make up eleven percent of the Paris population. Black's do not hang nooses, or other symbols of racism. These are habits from a racist past.

White's as you say, have ownership of the town and control the primary employer in the community.

I guess that black guy just put that chain around his neck and jumped under that pickup truck and killed himself like in the Jim Crow days.

so why did you do that?

wow really... it says there your from silver spring ... how far away youd say that was from paris..? my guess is you dont know what the hell your talking about.... black ppl in paris are at the same percentage as white...and i dont know if i was the only one who caught this whole story and grasped the facts if we are talkin about the same black guy who "put the chain around his neck himself and jumped under tha ol pickup truck"... but the 3 ppl supposedly involved in that case were black white and mexican... now if this were a hate crime why is there such a variety of races involved..

and for goodness sake can someone please tell me the last time ANYONE heard anything about a mexican or white man being BRUTALLY MURDERED by a black man.. i mean please dont tell me that that kinda thing never happens because i think we are all well educated enough to know that in fact it does happen ... the racial card just doesnt get thrown up because then we all know itll fall back on us and them damn black panthers and BET crew members will be right back down here with their gunsmen camera crew disruptin our schools again right...

From the looks of the picture, maybe OSHA should be paying a visit to that factory.

I work for the FEDERAL government and face racism all the time. Did I mention that I'm white??? What are the odds anything will be done??
