    For the new people on the board.

    Notice bigtexxx will try and defend his saying by claiming he only said he would react violently against a group of Arabs by stating that he used that to separate that group from any other group.

    However he doesn't say "the" group of Arabs. He says "a" group of Arabs. That means any group of Arabs.

    In addition I'm still waiting on bigtexxx to provide the examples of him regularly talking about "groups of white guys" to separate and distinguish them in his story.

    Sorry bottom line - bigtexxx threatened violence on any group of Arabs who stood up in a plane near the restroom.

    I guess every so often I have to post this to remind him.

    i can't start threads so i bumped this.

    houston has a black mayoral candidate. i personally havent thought twice about voting for him. i have run into older blacks that will vote for him because he is black. i haven't talked to people my age about it. interesting. i think annise parker is a popular mayor among blacks. she already beat a more popular black opponenent imo. this guy ben hall is not very likable imo

    if i were his head strategist i would tell him to stop making that i just bit into some crap face on his own ads

    People vote their interest
    Annise does not seem overly interested in the black community

    i have no problem with the way the CITY is run. i went to a councilman debate at my father's church in third ward. where boykins is running he was there. everyone talks about the abandoned houses and dumping. people have been dumping in my parents's neighborhood for over thirty years on the northside.

    i like annise because she's honest, she was the comptroller, and she looks to the future.

    this ad for annise was given freely by Otis Thorpe (of clutchfans.net)

    Good to hear Otis Thorpe, what would be a solution to curve illegal dumping? I think lowering the cost to dump in the landfill or even have the city pick up your heavy trash for a modest cost. Err, I don't know just throwing ideas.

    i don't know either, i don't know why heavy trash isn't good enough for some people. they don't seem like businesses.

    This....

    The myth held by some white people is that black people "stick together" and that blacks will always vote for or stick up for other blacks.

    The truth is that blacks vote for their best interest, not for some sort of racial identity.

    How many blacks voted for Al Sharpton? Keyes? How popular is Clarence Thomas in the black community?

    Why did blacks vote for George Wallace the last years of his life? Why has Bill Clinton been widely supported by the black community?......

    Every day black jurors convice black defendants... every day blacks are killed by other blacks.

    This is really a non issue, and the fact their is a belief that there is a double secret black meeting where the decision is made to only support black interests and candidates is absurd.

    People that have been historically oppressed and outsiders to the establishment can tell if someone is sincere and working for their best interest. Some day Republicans may figure it out and get votes.
