    Why the Media does not make a big deal of the Antifa masks and black clothes is not amusing at all. it is feeding Antifa.

    I do not want to actually get into the dead Martin at the moment but a jury found Zimmerman broke no law. Martin however was trying to kill Zimmerman based on his actions and injury to Zimmerman. That has to be why the jury failed to convict.

    She's too low level mentally to discuss 'important issues' with any depth or understanding. She's a ding dong compared to serious journalists.

    Depends on the particular reservation. Believe it or not, CA is the leading state having reservations of the natives.

    Here the Natives remained in their general area and not all the time, but as much as possible and they live in some very nice areas of CA.

    Back when the natives were paid off, it must have been quite a lot since my own ancestors (in my view) pulled a Warren and tried to allege they were enough native to be also paid.

    I did not hear it from Mom, I saw their actual filings with the Feds.

    The Feds turned down my ancestors claims. DNA testing I paid for shows none of my ancestors were natives. NONE

    My point ... is that of the 3 ... one is plausibly palatable. Blackface. If a white or hispanic person immitates a black celeb, or movie character it's not necessarily racist. I rember when Mr T costumes were popular, and white kids weren't mocking anyone by wearing them. Whoopi defendd Ted Danson in blackface, she's hosting the View.

    I am not a serious viewer of the View. i check the first one or two segments to catch up on their hate fest against Trump and do other things.

    I am not familiar with any white that does black face. And were they to show up, I would not waste my time being offended over children.

    When i was a lad, I would dress up to be a Cowboy. I never handled cattle nor was interested either. I did not insult cowboys as a child. Cattle stink. no thanks.

    You don't know that Martin was trying to kill Zmmerman. Most likely he was just beating up a guy he thought was a pervert who was following him in the dark. He would have been a hero if Zimmerman turned out to be a pervert that Martin caught and beat up. Martin was a kid, a teenager who didn't think like an adult and just call the police when he found someone he thought was a perve stalking him. Trying to portray Martin as some sort of evil bad boy is what a person who is of weak character and is a racist would do.

    Now you painted the picture of you as a loyal Democrat.

    We do not agree lady. And more, the jury does not agree with you. Why defend a dead kid who was larger than Zimmerman and was on top of him beating his head into a sidewalk.

    If you have sons, and some clown had any of them down, beating their heads into a sidewalk, you telling me your son would be at fault?

    Other than you hate her, why did you not like her and her guests?

    Hey, I forgot. I agree with your assessment.

    My other point was I saw how the Navajo live in AZ and believe me, those reservations suck the big weenie so far as i am concerned. The natives do not seem able to remove themselves from poverty.

    Her talk show was not treated as if she is a journalist. See, you should have watched it.

    You are guessing. You have to be an insider at NBC to think that way. NBC treats personnel matters with confidentiality. They hate getting sued.

    Oprah seeing Jim Crow is not really all that likely.

    Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprah_Winfrey

    This should be the lesson for all blacks.

    A. Oprah is the most wealthy black female. She clearly ranks in the upper crust of all females in wealth. The others often had a head start. She had poverty.

    B. She is very articulate. Blacks working on speech and being articulate clearly put themselves ahead of others of any race that are not similarly interested in speech or being articulate.

    C. Oprah had the highest ever ratings for a talk show.

    D. She never was a slave. To tie your identity to slaves probably means you want to think like a slave, not that you truly experienced being a slave.

    E. If Milwaukee was a bastion of Jim Crow, I never heard of that.

    F. She seems to have started making it big time in Chicago. I think her story on TV got it's start there. If I am wrong, don't fail to mention it.

    G. On this, it is possible to correct me, but is her lover not white? Would she take on as a lover an inferior person? It is my impression that typically a woman wants the man to be better than what else is available. Oprah chose white.

    She is a spectacularly different sort of person.

    One that should be more than admired, to be emulated.

    Give me this point if you please.

    Compare Oprah to Maxine Waters and tell me who ranks best? Maxine has been in legal hot water and can't close her big mouth enough to truly listen.

    Oprah listens.

    Listen to a black speaking of her.

    Oprah can become one of the wealthiest women in the world and Obama can be president, others can become AG, and poor rappers from the inner city can become media moguls, and poor athletes who come from nothing can be some of the richest guys in the country, but the U.S. is still a place where NO black people are allowed to succeed due to racism behind every bush?

    How much longer can we stand by and let these atrocities persist? =)

    Stedman Graham, Oprah's long time partner, is African-American not that your reasoning would be correct if he were a different race.

    I rather watch blacks be proud of success. Praise it. Love it. Preach it.

    Those are the leaders who are doing far more good.

    Fine until you claim my reasoning is wrong. You have me breathing hard. Wrong in what way?

    Absolutely, using a mask to be Spiderman or The Lone Ranger isn't blackface.

    Exactly. I'm sure they cherish their histories too. But African-Americans are the only group of people held in legal slavery in the USA. Irish people were indentured servants for a while, but they were never slaves.
    That's what makes African-Americans different.

    No. Because I won't be there. Blacken your face and hands all you want.
    Have a nice time and eat some ice cream and cake for me. I'm on a diet.:hungry:

    In my part of CA the Native American reservations are in foothill area. The land is full of rocks, poor soil conditions. They do have a few lucrative casinos though. So, I guess they are doing OK.:)
