General Comments from BC Readers:

Your propensity to continuously provoke and cajole the readers of your columns in thinking of the true spirit of unity and community improvement, calling to task all of the evil-doers (they seem to multiply daily, don’t they) who seek to tear down entire groups of people based on whatever criteria they decide upon when they open their black eyes, provides me a constant source of strength and confidence in not only keeping hope alive but becoming an integral participant in fighting the hegemonic machine of Amerikkka. I can only hope the truth you continue to shine the light on is realized by more of those who seem to resist it the most. Our faith has to carry those who have none, our commitment has to bolster those who do not want to work, our unwavering hope for better must be the torch that burns longer than the enemies, I can only believe these things can be real. Your words are a tonic, bold and unapologetic, that more of our populace needs to wake them from the slumber of brain-numbing TV and mindless Media. Once again thank you for your incredible intellect, an insight that is fearlessly focused on the Truth. May the Divine One keep your voice strong and your conscious clear… – TD

I just heard President Bush give his reason for continuing to ‘fight terrorism.’ One thing the President has forgotten is that the world now knows exactly how compassionate America is concerning its own people – they observed what our President did during Hurricane Katrina. The world is watching the United States sanction killing innocent men, women and children in America. The world responded to the disaster faster than our own government. How can President Bush cite America as promoting Freedom when we have demonstrated how we treat our own citizens. We have terrorist in America (KKK, Ku Klux Klan) and they are not being targeted–it appears that they are being supported. In fact, being Black in America is a liability. Police feel justified in killing Black Americans and in New Orleans, the world saw that Law Enforcement personnel used guns to prevent people from escaping the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina. American people were not allowed to save themselves. Americans died while the world watched. Is this the protection the U.S. is offering to the rest of the world? How can our President claim that the U.S. is the champion of FREEDOM and FAIR PLAY when American citizens who built this country are not being treated FAIRLY. All people in America are not being treated with dignity. When will African Americans be treated with dignity? When will our children be saved from death in American cities at the hand of so called ‘law enforcement’? When will President Bush enforce working together in good faith to eliminate racism in America? – JS”

I just stumbled upon your Website while looking for prison statistics for black males in America. I have 4 sons, two of which are teens and I am desperately trying to motivate them to make the most of every opportunity and be all that they can be. I also want them to be sober about the world in which we live. Thanks for the information that you provide here. I will mark it as a favorite in my browser. – SP

I feel you and other groups should sue and or attack CBS for attempting to increase racial divides with their new “racially divided” Survivor. It serves no purpose will only generate more hate. I ask you and other rights groups to put pressure on CBS and sponsors of Survivor to right this wrong! Please feel free to pass this on to anyone you feel will act on it. I have NO PLANS to watch this show! – DG
