Anyway, I want to thank some wonderful and distinguished journalists who invited me down to DC to break bread with them and swap stories. Bloggers like yours truly owe it to folks like Richard Prince, Lynne Adrine, Jeanine Hunter, Ronald Taylor, and others. Sitting among those individuals was an honor.
It was also nice meeting journalists like Marisol Bello of USA Today, and Ron Nixon of the New York Times, who are keeping the legacy going and trying to hold it down in Mr. Charley's newsroom. That is serious FNB.
Oh well, time to hit the sack, although, before I go, I want to say congratulations to the republican party for their 2012 party platform. Some of the language adopted couldn't have been easy given what's been going on lately with a certain gentleman from Missouri.
Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Republican drafters of their party’s 2012 platform reaffirmed support for a constitutional amendment banning abortion that would allow no exception for terminating pregnancies caused by rape. Concluding two days of deliberations in Tampa yesterday, the platform committee completed a 60-page draft of political positions and principles that will be submitted for adoption when the Republican National Convention begins Aug. 27 in the Florida city.
Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell, the panel’s chairman, and other leaders sought to emphasize the document’s focus on proposals to promote economic growth as the party dealt with a political storm stirred by a comment about rape by the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Missouri.
The draft “reflects the views of the grassroots leaders” of the party and “affirms our belief in traditional values, but spends an enormous amount of time and energy on how to get the greatest country on Earth out of debt and back to work,” McDonnell told reporters after the Committee on Resolutions completed the platform draft."

Yes, let's save all of those babies. Just don't forget about them when they become a "nuisance" to society.
Later folks.

Denmark Vesey [Telemaque, an Akan (Coromantee)]
In 1771, fourteen-year-old Denmark Vesey was transported from St. Thomas to Cape Francais by slave trader Captain Joseph Vesey. Upon a return trip to Cape Francais, Captain Vesey was forced to reclaim Denmark, who his master said was suffering from epileptic fits. Denmark accompanied Captain Vesey on his trading voyages until the Captain retired to Charleston, never again showing signs of epilepsy.
In 1799, Vesey won the lottery and bought his freedom for $600. He could not purchase the freedom of his wife and children, however, and some claimed that this fact motivated his crusade to destroy the institution of slavery.
...
BETRAYED BY A CHRISTIAN
Like Denmark Vesey, George Wilson was a class leader in the AME Church, but he followed the Christian doctrine of loving one's neighbor, and was devoted to his master. When fellow slave Rolla Bennett told him of the rebellion, Wilson pleaded with him "to let it alone." Five sleepless nights later, on June 14, Wilson told his master of the plot, confirming the confession of another man and leading to the arrest and execution of Rolla Bennett and his conspirators. Although he was granted his freedom as a reward, Wilson eventually lost his sanity and committed suicide.

Field, while you were in DC with all of those journalists, did you give me any credit? Did you folks talk about me and how depressing it is to be Black in America?
Will your friends talk about me on their blogs? Hopefully it'll be a lot more than you talk about me. I know, I know. You probably didn't even think once about me while there.
I'm wondering how Caucasian males became such authoritarians on the subject of rape. Is it stories from the slave trade, or are a few of them rapists themselves? Damn, they KNOW EVERYTHING; right or mostly wrong. Just ask 'em.

Damn you got that right. Don't know what that cracka was thinkin, aint nobody knows more about rapin wummens and de menz like dem black peeps. Blacks be rapin lotsa dem white wummens but according to de gub'n'ment dem crackas aint touchin de sistas.
In 2005 In the 36,620 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was black, 100 percent of the offenders were black, and 0.0 percent of the offenders were white. The table explains that 0.0 percent means that there were under 10 incidents nationally.

She was talking about White Men, how would you know anything about that?
Good news - Rome continues to move forward to the end.
the DOJ is seeking a few good dwarves and those with psychiatric disabilities or severe intellectual disabilities, they need some lawyers to work on promoting illegal invasions, voter ID for the "biologically challenged" (TM Eric Holder) and any Black Pampers cases that may arise from the 2012 elections.
So Whitey, a little guy with a big ego, small intellect and some psychiatric disabilities will be in like flynn, you could be the next Eric Holder and prosecute American Interests with reckless abandon.
Does anyone see any sanity coming from liberalism? This is not going to end well, that's easy to see.
We may not have anything worth saving if these moonbats continue.

"I'm wondering how Caucasian males became such authoritarians on the subject of rape."
Exactly. You want expert opinion on rape, ask an African male.
The FBI used to break out rape statistics by rape, up unitil 2005 when the numbers became too politically inflammable to print any more. That year, as regards interracial rape, there were 37,460 rapes of white women by black men versus zero rapes of black women by white men.
That's more dominant than the performance of black males in 100 meter sprint!
U.S. Justice Department 2005 rape statistics URL: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/cvus0502.pdf
Scroll to Table 42. --> 37,460 White women raped by Negroes, zero Negro women raped by White men.
I know anon, frat girls and slaves don't count.

It is true they were in charge of their country and masters over slaves.
They received this distinction because they rightfully defeated and controlled everybody in America, and paid a fair price for slaves from Africa.
When you 'control' everybody you 'know' more than anybody else. Therefore, 'rape' is what they determine it is. It's that simple.
Some of these wm are also men of God. Thank God they will not allow an abortion of an 'innocent and vulnerable' fetus to take place. That is what the GOP is aiming for...to save the lives of humans yet to be born.
White American men are the most powerful and knowledgeable men on earth. POC know this very well, and try to emulate and live by their standards.
Other extreme Whites(Dems) and rebellious Blacks who 'try' to fight- and fail miserably- against the highly disciplined standards of these righteous God-fearing men, are weak and simply pissing in the wind.
There are other facts of American life that are also true and could add credence to the power of wm, but need not be discussed here. Brothers and Sisters, I hope my facts answers your question.:) PEACE.
A black man was giving a presentation on to a gathering to which I was invited. The speaker mentioned the three-fifths counting of slaves in the original Constitution and how it is commonly misrepresented as meaning that blacks were considered three-fifths of a person.
I asked permission to interject. I explained to the group that the Constitution in counting each slave as three-fifths of a person was not denying blacks’ personhood, and indeed that the provision had nothing to do with the human worth of blacks. The purpose of the provision was to reduce Southern representation in the Congress, thus reducing the power of the slave states. I was instantly unofficially ousted from the group for defending the stipulation as reasonable.
Are the majority of Americans too stupid to understand this? Has our propagandist education system so limited our national intellect that we can only repeat the misconceptions we have been told?
Specifically, the slaves were not citizens and could not vote. They were not part of the body politic. So the question of whether they should be counted for the purposes of representation was legitimate and unavoidable. The Southern states wanted them to be counted fully. The Northern states wanted them not to be counted at all
You understand this, right Field? The slave states wanted the slaves to be counted as whole persons. That way they would have more power in the form of electoral votes and congressional representation, and would receive a larger percentage of federal disbursements.
The free states argued that since slaves couldn't vote, they should not be counted at all when it came to apportioning political power. In effect, a slaveholder would get to cast the votes of his slaves.
In the end, the free states, on humanitarian grounds, thought it unfair to not apportion federal funds to slave states without considering the large slave populations, thus compromised and agreed to the three-fifths rule.
That's clear to an educated man such as yourself, right Field?
Just checking.
Madison, stop listening to Glen Beck.
You can't tell me akin isn't a dem plant. He makes the dumbest statement this side of sarah palin and the subject is the same as the plank just added to the gop platform. Can't be a coincidence.
That's not glenn beck Field, that's his "historian" david barton who has been discredited by all actual historians. Just like conservatives to spew nonsense created by a man without a degree in his supposed subject. Anyhoo, surprised governor mcdonnel didn't add a confederate history segment to the gop platform since we know how fond he and his ilk are of the confederacy. Even though they should have been hanged as traitors.

A modern version of an old tale
"Who will help me plant my wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"Not I," said the cow.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Not I," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself." She planted her crop and the wheat grew and ripened.
"Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"I'm on disability," said the duck.
"Out of my classification," said the pig.
"I'd lose my seniority," said the cow.
"I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did.
"Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen.
"That would be overtime for me," said the cow.
"I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck.
"I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig.
"If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did.
The smell of fresh-baked bread attracted all her neighbors. They saw the bread and wanted some. In fact, they demanded a share.
But the little red hen said, "No, I shall eat all the loaves."
"Excess profits!" cried the cow.
"Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck.
"I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose.
"Share with the 99 percent," grunted the pig.
And they all painted `Unfair!' picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then the farmer came He said to the little red hen, "You must not be so greedy."
"But I earned the bread," said the little red hen.
"Exactly," said the farmer. "That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are idle."
And they all lived happily ever after.
But only in the President's fairy tale. In a real-world version, the little red hen never again baked bread and the farmyard suffered Greek-style chaos when the animals riding in the wagon suddenly discovered there was nobody left to pull the wagon.
The civil war was caused by and completely about trade protectionism. The slavery issue was just camouflage, as Abraham Lincoln himself admitted.

Executive Mansion,
Washington, August 22, 1862.
Hon. Horace Greeley:
Dear Sir.
I have just read yours of the 19th. addressed to myself through the New-York Tribune. If there be in it any statements, or assumptions of fact, which I may know to be erroneous, I do not, now and here, controvert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here, argue against them. If there be perceptable in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend, whose heart I have always supposed to be right.
As to the policy I "seem to be pursuing" as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt.
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free.
Yours,
A. Lincoln.
Or better yet Madison we can stay on topic and not get into a history debate. I suggest you read the source document if you have any illusion about how us darker peoples were seen in the eyes of the "founding fathers". But just out of curiosity you did get your infop from david barton didn't you? Ha!
Wow. I've come to this site a few times & I have to say I totally agree with just about everything you post. I was on the odds about posting a comment since I'm not one for monsensical rants.
I recently launched my own blog which covers issues and topics effecting people of color; I wont promote it hear because God knows I don't want to mimic the types of readers you have here. Originally, I was under the impression the people leaving comments are internet trolls. I'm a firm believer that all white people, while they may nor be KKK type racists, all have some form of prejudice in them. Blame white privilage; who knows but thats my belief, and unlike many of them I don't try to pass it off as the one & only truth. But, the white folk who comment on this site have surpassed the institition that is racism. I think they're either suffering from mental retardation or are just F'n crazy.

Will you be using spell check if you start a blog? Careful with those words that sound the same but are spelled differently based upon meaning. Start with here/hear, effect/affect.
Good luck.
P.S. hope you don't take this as prejudice.
So, PilotX, maybe you could explain to me how the the three-fifths rule came to be and what it meant.

In other words he cannot. All people like him can do is dissect what others say and have created they do not create or think. Or the most dominant leftist saul alinsky tactic, try and isolate and discredit the source.

Idiocracy is Here.
This evening in New York City, President Obama will be fundraising with “NBA heroes,” according to his spokesman. Those “heroes” include Michael Jordan (who is also a failed baseball player), Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, and, perhaps most interestingly, Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony helped make the pro-drugs YouTube video called “Stop Snitchin.”
“Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony is featured in an underground DVD that is circulating in his hometown of Baltimore, Md,” the Denver Channel reported:
The DVD is called “Stop Snitching” and shows alleged drug dealers talking about what happens to people who cooperate with the police, and Anthony is standing next to one of them.
How befitting of the office of the President.
Yep, and Madison note our illustrious anons never offer insightful commentary but make hit and run comments all while being too cowardly to create a screen name. If you want my take on the matter it is like all other historical matters, complex and multi-layered. Did northern states want to limit the governmental power of southern states? Yep. Did southern states want to increase their power without giving blah people equal rights and privileges? Yep. Thus a compromise had to be obtained.
But my question still remains, did you get that info from DB?
Really??????? Field, you really need to get new trolls. My man called the greatest player to pick up a basketball a "failed baseball player". Really? Why not call Robert Deniro a "failed waiter" or Bill Gates a "failed college student". ODS has turned this country into a hotbed of stupid. Failed baseball player Ha!

I'm sorry, let me type this slowly, did he not say he was so good he would succeed at anything even though they warned him he didn't have it for baseball? Did he not sign a pro contract and insist that he would be a good pro baseball player? Did it turn out this way? Which part of fail at something specific don't you understand? He might be the greatest basketball player ever, but he failed at trying to play baseball - get it?
You have the nerve to say this country is stupid and you think by saying an actor wouldn't make a good waiter as a comparison to a basketballer failing at baseball is intelligent. Well only if that actor assumed that because he had a few hit movies those skill made him automatically qualified to be a good waiter...just like your man did to baseball.
You have some bad hero worship problems, it blinds you to reality. The guy shoots balls and runs around a court, look for a doctor or scientist or someone worthy of admiration.

Sorry for not continuously monitoring this comment section to see if you had made some intelligent, informed or gracious comment, which sadly, you have not.
I have never read (or heard of) David Barton. My knowledge of the three-fifths compromise comes from my study in college of the constitution and early American history. But a history degree is not needed to understand this concept. A simple reading of the facts and accounts of the era are sufficient to come to the conclusion that no, blacks were never considered 3/5 human.
At least it's gratifying to see you hedge your position and quasi-admit that I was right all along. The truth is, if the slavery advocates could have gotten away with it, it would have been to their advantage to have the slaves counted as 5/3 of a person.
Unfortunately, Field seems as of yet incapable of grasping such nuances, obvious as they may be. I feel sorry for his clients.

Yeah Field, only Maddy seems to get such "nuance" that southern states wanted to count slaves as full humans to get more representation in government. Maybe I was too hard on you , maybe you trolls are geniuses afterall. Nuance, ha!

You are like an idiot savant, only without the savant part.
Is this the pinnacle of your intelligence? Lame attack based names and sarcasm without one single purposeful word to highlight why you have thought about it and feel differently, don't bother answering that it was rhetorical.
Irony is lost on conservatives.
Indeed it is, PilotX. Our "brilliant" friend doesn't understand that black folks could know what took place at the Philadelphia Convention in 1787.
The fact that they were using slaves like objects to gain political advantage over each other is lost on our clueless wingnut friend.
Yes, Southerners wanted to count their slaves as people to get more reps....wait, did I just say that? THEIR SLAVES!
Why am I even having this discussion?
PilotX, you are right, I will just leave the trolls alone. :(
And they thjink we don't see whay they're doing. To make this a "Christian" nation and help them deify the "founding fathers" they have to either diminish or even completely remove that ugly stain on this country and its leaders. Maybe the next generation will buy their nonsense.
Field pretends that he hasn't espoused the misconception that the constitution defined negros as three-fifths human many times in the past. Lame.
So, if you can understand that limiting the count of slaves to 60% of their total actually limited the power of the slaveholders, then you must purposefully promote misinformation to keep dumber people angry.
Hmmmm. How cool is that?

Facts are lost on moonbats. And fools.
In our modern, debased concept of history, the past exists only as a politcal weapon for the present. The specific reason the three-fifths controversy can’t be discussed intelligently is that the basis of the issue was that slaves were not citizens and were not part of the body politic. But in presenting that undeniable historical fact as the basis of the issue, a person would sound as though he were accepting that fact, rather than condemning it. So it’s easier not to argue at all against the false indictment of America over the three-fifths issue.
The upshot of this is that America is condemned not just for slavery, but for defining in its founding document that blacks were not fully human, when in truth it was about reaching a accommodation on how the slave population would be counted for purposes of representation.
Not understanding that means you are stupid. Understanding it but promulgating it anyway is something much worse.
Once again Maddy what's your point? The choice is a bunch of white dudes who wanted to relegate blah people to property or the ones who relegated them to property but wanted to benefit politically from their presence? Ok, you win it was political. Happy?
"Happy?"
Yes. Slavery was bad enough on its own.
slavery in this country has been over for 150yrs and 700,000 whites died ending it.but slavery is still praticed by muslims in africa how come you have nothing to say about that?wtf is white privilage is that the bull shit excuse that negro "professor" used to justify beating up a 98lb woman?what a hero!!!there are no journilists with the government ontrolled media,they are propagandist.they are liars like pres bongo,the commie traitor.
Thanks bruce now go back to stormfront.
