And btw, You have no censure for the remarks made by goomba, whom I was replying to?

Remember this is what he had posted to another member here:

Disclaimer, NOT MY WORDS--THESE ARE THE WORDS OF GOOMBA--who Ron so conveniently has no problems with:

lol, is that you in your avatar? shut your fat ass up. Fat people are the main reason why people hate Americans. You eat enough food that could be used to feed millions of starving Africans and what do you give back to society? All you do is make us normal people cringe when we see you on the street.

Not only are you a fat bitch, you're also a racist fat bitch. Jesus Christ. You should be apologizing to the world for eating 40% of Earth's food supply, not making racist comments on the internet.

Think about what i said before stuffing that next big mac in your fat face

It cost to be an American whether you just got here last night or were one of the founding fathers. If you do nothing while other Americans are being persecuted then who are you anyway that anyone should care about your apology or sympathy?
My family has been here since the late 17th century and, to my knowledge, never owned slaves. They have always pulled their own weight, been in the north, and fought for the union in the civil war.

One of my ancestors was persecuted by the English, so he assassinated a high ranking English official and escaped to the states. Unfortunately, sometimes the only way to achieve true freedom and retribution is to take matters into your own hands.

I say:
mistreated in my white school.
My willingness to say the things I have said here only came about in the last year. I have in the past been nothing but a proponent of equal rights for blacks, stood square against whites who made racist statements in regard to the same things I have posted here, and said "it has only been a little over 100 years since blacks gained their freedom, and only a little over 40 years that they have been given the rights that they deserved all along. They deserve consideration in regard to time in order to overcome all they have suffered in the past".
I must admit, the Michael Vick debacle is what has thrown me over the edge. I have never seen so many people (huge majority blacks) willing to overlook what he has done, call it a mistake, and some blatantly say 'it was just dogs' or what is wrong with 'dog fighting'. They find it so amazing that ANYONE could care about the abuse and torture of an innocent companion animal, that I think they actually BELIEVE their words when they say they believe his conviction was racial!!!I have been reading and listening to this defense of a monster for a solid year now, and I don't mind telling you it has completely changed my perception in regard to blacks as a whole. If they have no problem with a man who is a millionaire, who could enjoy any entertainment he chose, and he chose to starve, torture, fight, electrocute, drown, hang, and beat dogs to death for over 6 years for his FUN, then there is definately something wrong with their capacity to empathize and consider the horror another innocent living thing suffers by the hands of a human being, EXCEPT FOR THEIR OWN. And I don't mean their own race, their personal own. Their defense of this monster has certainly affected my perception of the black race as a whole, caused me to look around the world and take note of black's behavior in society everywhere. Not of what the black race may have done 100 years ago, but what the majority of the black race is capable of and how they are behaving today.
The Michael Vick episode is probably an example of African Americas circling the wagons. We aren't right all the time, in fact we aren't right many of the times because racism is usually about perspective and just because white Americans do what may appear to be racist to us doesn't mean that they had racist intent.
America has screwed us so many times that it's hard to see fact from fiction. Put together long strectches of trustworthiness and we'll stop seeing ghost. But when you claim with such a passion that all is well when you know damn well it aint then you get a people who bark at every shadow. Its a defense mechanism and nothing more.
In terms of animal rights. You're not going to like this answer, but animal rights are not that big in our culture. Most defended him because in truth they couldn't understand the big deal. It is hard for African Americans to watch good white people come in groups to defend animals but say nothing when blacks are murdered by police and the court system. In short you won't get much animal sympathy from AA's. As a matter of fact we resent that many white people consider their rights more important than that of AA's

You missed the point. Educational institutions are based on liberal (tolerant of different views and standards of behavior in others; concerned with general cultural matters and broadening of the mind) principles. Broadening of the mind is crucial if a person is to be able to successfully 'think for one's self'. I'm working on my MBA/JD and have a Bachelor of Science in Accounting.

You know, Marc, I can understand if someone doesn't like animals. I can understand if they have no love for dogs or cats or any other companion animal. Each to his own. But if you don't like them, then JUST DON'T HAVE ONE. Just because you don't like dogs or cats, doesn't give you the right to drown them, hang them, abuse them, and mutilate them for your FUN.

As for blacks resenting so many whites who fight for the rights of animals, they should consider this. That animal will never grow up and have the ability to choose what type of life it makes for himself. Companion animals are dependent on us for their entire well being. In return, they give us unconditional love and loyalty. To repay that by pulling their teeth without anestesia pain killer, to put them in a rape stand for other vicious dogs to breed them, to hang them if they won't fight and to hold their head in a bucket of water to drown IF they survive the hanging, to steal people's pets out of their back yards to hang by their hind legs with their snouts taped closed for vicious dogs to maul, someitmes taking days for the poor pet to succumb to the relief of death, is reprehensible.

It would seem, considering what we read in books in regard to how slaves were treated, blacks would have more compassion for the innocent helpless animals who suffer abuse and death at the hands of their owners.

I appreciate your honesty however. At least you stated the obvious, that the majority of blacks could care less about the welfare of an animal. Even to the extent mentioned above, the abuse and torture of an innocent animal, they couldn't care less about. One poster in another forum said that he could care less if his neighbor skinned his dogs alive, it was his dogs. That scares me.

As for the rest of your post, kudos. Very good insight, whether I like it or not, I appreciate your honesty, as I do recognize the truthfullness in what you say here.

The Congress and the Senate are trying to craft out a bill that will help the national housing mess by providing funds of $300,000,000,000.00 to help people not lose their homes due to foreclosure.

The AFRICAN-Americans congress members and the AFRICAN-American Senate members are trying to slow the process down so that SPECIAL PROVISIONS are made for BLACKS.

Why are the black members of both houses so damn racist that they always insist that 'SPECIAL' considereation are made based on the color of skin ? why wont the national news media pick up on these racist situations where its not the content of a persons problems that matter but rather the color of their skin !

(AP)...Senate passage would set the stage for high-stakes negotiations to resolve Democrats' differences. Conservative Democrats known as "Blue Dogs" are concerned about how to pay for the measure, while members of the Congressional Black Caucus - most of them liberal - call it "unacceptable," arguing it doesn't do enough to address the needs of African Americans.

It sounds like you encountered maybe a couple of hundred posters online? It couldn't be more than that in all reality. As was mentioned earlier to you, so now you can claim with certainty that "far too many blacks find it acceptable and no big deal what he did"? A couple of hundred speak for, what, almost four million people?

You do realize that even if 100% of the online people you encountered did this, no way can you declare 100% of all blacks would do this, right? For starters, you don't even know for certain if they were all black. And decent blacks may have taken one look at what was going down and bowed out. Are you aware that some posters are playing a game to see how much they can provoke someone? They play it with their friends and post anything they can to get a response. The one with the most responses wins. It is not wise to judge any aspect of face to face reality by online experiences.

Well said and honestly put, it doesn't get any better than that. I can understand the lack of concern for animal rights. Restore ALL the people rights and that may follow.

My children will NEVER go to the University of Colorado as it is a liberal as Berkley. I realize universities are liberal by nature. they usually produce liberal alums and as they mature they become less liberal and more conservative. that's simply the truth.

maybe I could hire you to do my taxes once Obama gets in office. I have plenty of shelters, two IRA's, and the old 401k but I need to keep uncle sam from taking more. I am in that bracket that most liberals describe as not paying his fair share, my ass.
