  • I know quite a few black MEN, emphasis on men, and if anyone called them an uncle Tom or coon they would find themselves on their ass with a tooth or two missing. And if I was there at the time I might help them if needed.

    These guys are men! They work for the railroad, engineers and conductors. They work in heavy construction like I did for 35 years. Many are veterans and I damn sure will never bad mouth another vet because some of the best men I ever met I served with and nobody gave a crap about skin color.

    Why are these idiot lame stream media idiots bring up skin color every chance they get? They are the hate mongers just like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. They are the ones who want to divide our country because they make their living off of hate. Well, the hate mongers are never going to get to us real Americans who know and understand who our real friends are. No matter what the color of their skin is.

    • The short answer to your question whiskey is, the limp msm wants to create racial tension. They want to make certain any free thinking minority is put “ back on the plantation”. Where only the anointed ones may speak.

      Color of skin, nationality, sexual preference doesn’t mean a thing to me when it’s time to respond to a call. We all bleed when cut shot stabbed and anything else that happens. Men and women who have my back I’ve got theirs. Those who have an agenda in the msm don’t get it and never will.

      Plz just once one of you high and mighty know it all reporters come spend two weeks with a hard working American. Then you may just get an eye opening.

      • Yep. Been shot, stabbed, got my ass whipped a few times in my younger, wilder days, and my blood is the same color as the men I served with, many of them black. And a lot of those good men came home in a flag draped coffin. They got off the plantation and were proud men. I just think sometimes that I should have done a better job of covering their six, should have done something different, and maybe they would be with us today. And it still eats at me all these years later.

  • "...behave certain ways..." What ways? It would be nice of her to specify the exact behavior that allows for the description of a person as a (insert racial epithet here).
