					<description><![CDATA[Hey eric,

I have enjoyed watching your superior, overachieving, feral primates doing a number in Missouri and other parts of the country. It was quite entertaining; I thought about you a lot and your swill about your superiority because your race has had to outsmart guys like me for 400 plus years.  I really felt like I was watching a “planet of the apes” rerun… it was quite outstanding watching the peaceful savages act out, but really what do you expect… the average IQ in your community is about 85, that is just a few points above legal retardation. Don’t bother replying, just go away and think about what I have said… actions are speaking so loud, that I can’t hear what you say… you should really consider going out there and stirring the pot, maybe be head chimp in charge, and get your 15 minutes of fame.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Giddy huh?  I don’t know why but when I present reality and educate you vermin, you get all giggly, laughin, hee hawin it, like everything else in your miserable lives, its all a big joke. You have mistaken about me being upset about anything, actually because I am white, more is expected from me,  it is you, and those like you, that do not have to maintain a standard, because after all you are and forever will be in your mind the primary victim. Remember, I can’t fall back on my community, or my skin color when situations don’t go my way.  Say what you want but that is fact.
 
As far as being superior, yes; I will give you that. Your racial group is superior in illegitimacy, STDs, criminality, violence, and filth. And the achievements in all that you have overcome can easily be seen, in your communities. Your racial group makes up barely 12% of the population, and responsible for the majority of the abhorrent criminal behavior in this country.  I worry for nothing, if anything I am excited because a new day is dawning. Many of the new comers despise you much like I do, the south west and now in many areas like Atlanta and DC, where literal “racial cleansing” is taking place, meaning innovators of nothing like yourself, being run out of your own neighborhoods.  And watch what happens when they are the majority and controlling local politics, and you want to educate them about your struggle….. You will be laughed off the stage my friend. I know this because I have lived it and seen it, and it can’t happen quickly enough.
 
And I also would like to mention your superiority all over the planet; we all know it takes a village to raise places like Detroit, Haiti, Nigeria, and Angola. You can try your monkey shines, double talk, b.s. with me, but I deal in something you can’t handle, which are facts.  The only place a black utopia ever existed is in your twisted mind. 


&quot;Since the dawn of history the Negro has owned the continent of Africa – rich beyond the dream of poet’s fancy, crunching acres of diamonds beneath his bare black feet and yet he never picked one up from the dust until a white man showed to him its glittering light.
His land swarmed with powerful and docile animals, yet he never dreamed a harness, cart, or sled.
A hunter by necessity, he never made an axe, spear, or arrowhead worth preserving beyond the moment of its use. He lived as an ox, content to graze for an hour.
In a land of stone and timber he never sawed a foot of lumber, carved a block, or built a house save of broken sticks and mud.
With league on league of ocean strand and miles of inland seas, for four thousand years he watched their surface ripple under the wind, heard the thunder of the surf on his beach, the howl of the storm over his head, gazed on the dim blue horizon calling him to worlds that lie beyond, and yet he never dreamed a sail.” ---Thomas Dixon]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey, Peckerwood,
.
I just love seeing comments like this from people like yourself, because I know that as long as I see them, and people like yourself are angry and frustrated, the country is moving in the right direction.
.
Life must be miserable for a person like you, to be watching the dying gasp of Jim Crow, and I just love watching your pain.  How do I know that your life is miserable?  Because if it wasn’t you’d be to busy enjoying life to be sitting around spewing such ignorant and inane bitterness - and I understand why too.  With the world changing around you, you can no longer depend on your Whiteness to defend you from your towering mediocrity. Now you’re going to be forced to PROVE that you’re superior, and I don’t think you can - in fact I know you can’t.
.
You see, as a direct result of Black people having to outwit bigots like you on a daily basis, every day of their lives, you’ve unwittingly made them superior to you. Because, in spite of the fact that people like yourself have force Black people to run a marathon against you while wearing lead boots, and after spotting you fifty yards, we’ve STILL remained competitive.  That means that EVERY Black person that you know on your job, or at a similar economic level as yourself, is superior to you - they HAVE to be to be at your level in spite of all of the White supremacist affirmative action programs that you’ve been able to take advantage of. 
.
For years, it’s been a universally accepted scientific assertion that adversity tends to trigger evolution, and as a direct result of your mindless ignorance, Black people have been forced to go through the very same process of growth as humanity as a whole. When man was placed here on Earth, he faced much of the same disadvantages that Black people has faced here in America over the past 400 years.  He wasn’t as big as the elephant, as ferocious as the lion, and he couldn’t soar above danger like the eagle. He only had one tool to defend himself - the human mind. But as a result of being forced to hone that tool into an efficient and effective weapon, he now has dominion over the Earth. He is now able to build machines that can crush any elephant, slaughter the most ferocious lion, and fly far above the eagle’s domain - in fact, he’s even gone on to explore other worlds.    
.
Well, let me lay something on you, you jive-ass bigot. With all of the prejudice and bigotry that bigots like yourself have forced Black people to endure over the past 400 years, all you’ve done is inadvertently forced many Black people to evolve far beyond you. Many of us are now your intellectual superiors - Obama is a case in point.  That’s the true reason you hate him, isn’t it?  But surprise of all surprises - as you’re going to find out very soon, Obama is not an aberration. I hope you respond so I can prove it to you - and I’m not as nice as he is. I’ll drag your ignorant ass through the mud, and, with absolute glee. I live for ignorant assholes like you.
.
So I’ll be awaiting your response with giddy anticipation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wake Up, Keepin It Real,

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree
FELLOW AMERICANS, DON’T LET OUR IGNORANCE DESTROY US
.
The racist animosities that are running rampant among ALL segments of the American people are playing right into the hands of the those who are our most insidious enemy – the global corporatists. These people are intent upon enslaving us all. The only difference between literal slavery and what they have in mind for us is we&#039;ll have to provide our own housing.
.
These people are no longer Americans; they are now globalists, and America is just a virtual cotton field to them. And as long as they keep the poor and middle class fighting and hating one another, we’ll be powerless against their social and political manipulation. So &quot;illegal aliens&quot; and others are far from the biggest threat to the American way of life – the corporatists are. 
.
If Al Qaeda represents a rattlesnake in America&#039;s garden, the corporate/GOP alliance represents a python under our bed. Al Qaeda can only destroy buildings, but the corporate/GOP wants to destroy our entire way of life and replace American democracy with a system of corporate feudalism, where corporations, literally, control the nation. So it is essential that every man, woman, and child who is a part of the poor and middle class recognize that fact, put our petty hatreds aside, and come together to fight our most insidious enemy - the global corporatist.
.
History is clear. Conservative Republicans don&#039;t mind spending money, they just don&#039;t want to spend it on those who need it - us. Remember, they&#039;re the party of Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of fiscal conservatism, who believed that only those who owned property should even be allowed to vote - and based on the voter obstruction laws that&#039;s currently being passed in Republican controlled states, they&#039;re headed in that direction again. Hamilton said the following:
.
&quot;All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and wellborn, the other the mass of the people.... The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right. Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share in government. They will check the unsteadiness of the second, and as they cannot receive any advantage by a change, they therefore will ever maintain good government.&quot; Debates of the Federalist Convention (May 14-September 17, 1787) . . .(MORE)
