John Lewis: Support Decision Was Tougher than Selma March

Furthermore, painting this man and all the other cast of hucksters and race-baiters as some type of saints to be forever worshipped is bullshit. They are not the pinnacle of American sacrifice and American virtue. Granted what they at one time had to endure was terrible. But that is ancient history. It is long gone. It is over. U.S. blacks love to keep the hatred and guilt alive. It is the mucilage that binds them together. Even with shared hated of whitey, they still slaughter
each other.

If u think racism is long gone I am deeply sorry to inform u r wrong. I have been to the South + seen the grave of James Chaney whose life was taken by KKK while he was working for SNCC + Congressman Lewis to end racism. There was supposed to b picture inscribed into the headstone of Chaney put there by his family. But intead there was an empty hole the last time they had tried to replace it was just 2 years but racists kept on removing it until they just couldn't afford 2 replace it anymore.

In case u r saying to yourself "Well that just the South". I also know a teacher of mine whose brother is a Jewish CA Senator and there were some violence going around in Sacremento against Jews and when they caught the guy they found pictures of Sen. Steinberg on the wall of his house. As much as would love to believe and have hope that racism is over I am well aware that it still exists. Furthermore Congressman John Lewis is a role model on how to endure racism with out hate, but with love.

Yes, you are quite right on one point. Blacks are the most vocal, vehement, violent and venomous racists in America. But, what can you expect from a group that defines themselves principally on a small, asnd ever-shrinking, segment of American history. I suggest that you and others who can just not get past your hatred attempt to shake down the descendants of the European slave traders who actually transported them here. Try that in a court of international law and see what happens.

You seem like a nice, intelligent and sincere young lady with a strong sense of conviction. I admire that greatly. However you are wasting your time and energy pursuing an ideology that has been, for at least 40 years, essentially deceased. You should stop searching for reasons to some of your life's disappointments through the looking-glass of class and race imabanlce. You achieve nothing of substance except an unending cycle of insatiable bitterness. Think about it.

Thank u 4 your admiration + compliments given to me.But I think u misunderstand me being aware 4 bitterness.I will admit I am disappointed sometimes with the human race + how we generally chose 2 hate ppl, but I am not bitter about that. In fact I wanto to bring back the ideology of nonviolence -in physical + verbal ways- that was brought to light during the Civil Right Movement by MLK.All I am saying is that I THINK-based on the way he talked to me- Lewis's decision is not based on race at all.

You are an ighnoramus if you believe that Obama will advance the American nation. We'll be lucky to survive even one year of his destructive reign.

I wonder if u even know Congressman Lewis and the type of person he is and was even at a young age. If u know the type of things- based on race-he went through u would not b questioning his motives. If u knew the type of things he did for human kind and the type of values he holds, u would know that race is not an issue.

I doubt you understand what you have written. You have proven my point. Yolu have painted Lewis as someone who is utterly obsessed with, consumed by, and defined on the basis of race. You share the same views as I. This man, and most blacks in American society, define themselves on the basis of race. That is their yardstick in life againsgt which the value of all others is measured. It is NOT about accomplishment or character. It WAS, IS, and WILL ALWAYS BE about RACE. You KNOW it, for sure.

Utter rubbish. Lewis, Colin Powell, Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel and the entire litany of black politicians voted for Obama because of race and race alone. That is the only reason to have voted for a person with no experience, no understanding of national politics, and virtually no substabtive accomplishments of any sort. You voted for change. Then you got it: out of control spending, an economy that is imploding, emboldened enemies, socialism, and race-based decision-making at every level.
