Memo to blogger: this isn't a "blog sight." It is a web site (not sight) and it is a blog. Calling it a "blog sight" makes you sound old and out of touch.
It took me three times to sit through the whole video. I would really like that 15 minutes of my life back. This is just more rambling accusations and proclamations with absolutely NO citations or references to facts or record. Is this what you do: interview each other and talk about how you feel different from everyone and everyone "looks" at you differently? R U serious?
Mr. Oliver himself testifies to the "mayhem" (his own words) that he witnessed in the streets around the bars that are the focus of the NAACP's report. He calls it a near-riot situation. Yet he finds the bars blameless, as if these marauders just appear from out of nowhere to terrorize 6th Street.
Seriously, this is what you do? You sit around and blame whitey instead of finding the missing fathers to your children and healing the enormous fractures in your families?
Sad, sad, sad.
-Who wrote the report?
-Does it speak for the NAACP?
-Why are there no sourced facts?
-Who leaked it and why?
Geez Ken, talk about burying the lead! Are you a journalist or what?
The entire "report" incident is a farce. It's like a cloud of wind that someone passed, stinking up a room, but no one will take responsibility for it. Poorly conceived, even more poorly written, it is filled with references to plantations by an African-American who has seen neither a plantation or Africa.
This is how the NAACP conducts business? Leaking a "report" that is just a screed against whites and the police, but no one will own up to it? They should lose their charter. I'm sure that the national NAACP does not condone this type of crap.
Hey, Racine NAACP, (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)!
