These haters are all riled up about the incident on the bus that FAUX Noise and Limbaugh are saying was a hate crime – however, the spin on the story totally ignores the fact that the young man that intervened to halt the violence was himself a black kid.
Hmmmmm… Don’t let the facts stand in the way of some good, fun racist rhetoric, right-winger!

there is no good reason for anyone to give our youth such
a bad example of how to make our world livable. yelling, profanities; are these not just continuing old hurts and
behaviors? it seems to me, that we need a little old
fashioned ‘give n’ take’ regarding life in America. no matter
how much a person fights it,,,we are a mixture of peoples.
let’s live in a REALITY , no one wins, unless we
accept each other and work together on our ‘in common’
problems. is no one thinking of what our children are soon
to inherit,. GROW UP EVERYBODY….

Good point, jerillyn. We’ve been living in a social darwinist society where “to the victor go the spoils” … this is the kind of thinking that will eventually destroy our society; it is unsustainable. Why don’t we play “the game” so that everybody wins?

Good thought! And we ARE playing the game so everyone wins. Most of us in the U.S.A. are out here everyday, working on our lesson plans for a multicultural class, greeting our neighbors of all colors hello on the way to work, driving with respect and care on our nations highways, meeting in our neighborhoods with a plan to make them better, intervening like the black kid did on the bus to better a situation, calling or writing our congressional representatives with our opinion, listening to (not-radical) comments on local and public radio and television stations about immigration and health care. You name it. Millions of us are not making the news, but we’re making the country what it is. We are working tirelessly to make our country a good place in which to live. Some of us, are like those above who are watching for hate in America and standing up to it. I have no fear for this beautiful country because of the millions of unnoticed beautiful souls who are out there by the millions – making a difference for ourselves and each other.
