Why is it we always hear about whites being racist.Seldom if ever do we hear about the black racist.well i am here to tell you as one who has lived and worked with blacks in and out of the military for 25 years that most are racist.I would say from my experience up to 80% of the males are.

Blacks are a minority. They can't be racists because they have no power. Just ask Jesse Jackson.

Blacks have as much power as whites or browns or beige or red or pink or purple or sand, or sable or dark sable or medium dark cream or creamier cream or coco puff lite, or yellow or mellow yellow or lite to medium mellow yellow or saffron yellow (I'm just mad about saffron--saffron's mad about me....) or beige with little brown spots all over their face or ....well people do. It's the law.

In God's Kingdom there is no color or special interest. If we surrender any preconceived power over to the One who created all we'll live without the want of power. Yes, we can all be minorities.

I know I am a minority in Morgan county. Ron Paul for President in 2012.

According to what I read in the Herald-Times the person who made the complaint was from the Bloomington North side. Thankfully no one from Martinsville made the complaint. Unfortunately Martinsville was there playing against Bloomington, being in the wrong place at the wrong time!

I wish the whole world would drop racism.

I posted this earlier, but I will do it again.

Morgan Freeman had the most genius idea to ending racism.

The most upsetting part of this local Editorial was that prior to this being published, I had already read in TWO other newspapers that the complaints DID come from Bton residents yet our HOME TOWN paper doesn't give that info firmly but still kinda/sorta leaves the question open-did we or didn't we? They blame AP for the story and didn't make nearly a strong enough stand that it wasn't us and shame on ANY source that drags Martinsville into another ugly untrue story with no proof. I'm really sorry our own publication wasn't stronger in our defense. You had a wonderful chance this time to help the reputation but you didn't. That's a real shame.

I have been wondering if the complaints were made on purpose because Martinsville was at Bloomington. It just seems odd to me that this happened at this game and no other. it was blogged on websites and reported on TV and we can not defend Martinsville.Maybe someone who uses facebook can tell the true story.
