Displaying 31 To 60 Of 293 Comments Watching “Selma” In A Nearly Empty Theater. Why? Havent seen it yet but I will! » Posted By VegasBabe On January 24, 2015 @ 6:17 pm This place where the US is now was inevitable….black folks knew it! Many just kept their heads buried in the sand. Ignoring a problem never makes it go away. Now here we are and what in the world are we to do about it? » Posted By VegasBabe On December 24, 2014 @ 8:49 am The Torture Report – An Organization Held to Account…But Not One Single Person I’ve not been in your particular position but I’m inclined to agree that prosecution of Bush/Cheney could and would have torn this nation apart. I’m still astounded at how so many liberals and progressives abandoned the POTUS when it became clear his administration wouldn’t pursue criminal charges. It is best to leave it to the ICC, lets see righties go to war with them and we should perhaps be satisfied with the likelihood that history will handle these two accordingly. » Posted By VegasBabe On December 9, 2014 @ 9:31 pm Grand Juries Agree: Police Are Authorized to Kill Poor Black Men a) Justice will never be served nor has it EVER been for African Americans in this country and particularly our men but wait….why don’t you share WHEN justice was served! » Posted By VegasBabe On December 4, 2014 @ 3:28 pm Awwwww….a pregnant wife? well why didn’t you say so!!! that alone certainly gives him a pass free card, carte blanche to maim, kill & destroy young black lives. Perhaps the family of the deceased isn’t aware! UNTIL such time as there is clear evidence that Anonymous has any culpability, they will continue to receive my support. Meanwhile, lets all hold hands and sing together shall we? How does it go again? Kumbaya my Lord, Kumbaya!!! This notion of condemning an effort before they’ve even proven themselves guilty of anything sounds oddly familiar! » Posted By VegasBabe On December 4, 2014 @ 11:19 am People are being murdered, gunned down in the streets. DETAILS are not such a bad thing!!!!! DETAILS may result in DETERRING murder!!!! » Posted By VegasBabe On December 3, 2014 @ 9:25 pm Anonymous has gone to far? When did that happen? Please list the occasions where they’ve gone “too far”. » Posted By VegasBabe On December 3, 2014 @ 8:01 pm The Ferguson Grand Jury Decision Annonymous is looking better and better to me, all the time: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/21/anonymous-video-warns-kkk_n_6198810.html Now, this is an effort I can happily contribute to! » Posted By VegasBabe On November 25, 2014 @ 9:53 pm Disastrous on numerous levels were HRC capitulate to the role of POTUS but IMO, so would BS! Both have avoided one of the real elephants in the room like BLM, the insidiousness of the criminal justice system in this country and then there is ISRAEL! Why do we tolerate this country who is committing genocide against the Palestinian people? Why have we sent them over decades several trillion dollars? Who will stand up for American and say enough already! What are they afraid of? To suggest their fear is of AIPAC is to admit Americans no longer control their own country, mayhap haven’t in a very long time! Remove the stank from the criminal justice and get control of Israel starting with ending the welfare checks. When I hear that, they’ll get my attention. If not, neither will get my vote. Misery loves company! » Posted By VegasBabe On October 16, 2015 @ 11:02 am I feel you! My son is a 29 year old professional and there is not a day or hour that goes by without my praying for his safety and I’m an agnostic. » Posted By VegasBabe On August 14, 2014 @ 4:44 am There is nothing anyone can say or write that will undo the harm or heal the broken hearts of those who have lost sons or daughters for that matter in this on-going war against African Americans. Does that help you? » Posted By VegasBabe On August 14, 2014 @ 4:30 am Thank you monicaangela! » Posted By VegasBabe On August 14, 2014 @ 3:58 am Nice to see folks becoming riled up if you will about these on-going circumstances but I gotta mention, these scenarios didn’t begin just last year or two years ago for that matter. For as long as I have been black in America, this has been the black communities reality. I know….while we’re here together, let’s have a real Kumbaya moment, shall we? all together now…should do WONDERS for the still living black mothers whose sons have died at the hands of police in say the last 40 years or so as well as those whose son’s occupy American prisons unjustifiably. Hands together now, let’s sing… » Posted By VegasBabe On August 13, 2014 @ 6:04 pm GOP Rep. Fights Against “War on Whites” …caught between a rock and racist place…”. Sounds a lot like a book that needs to be written. » Posted By VegasBabe On August 6, 2014 @ 10:23 pm Adlib, for the record, I LIKE it when you talk/write like this. Calling it like it is! Well done. Y’all sure you ain’t a brutha? 🙂 » Posted By VegasBabe On August 6, 2014 @ 10:20 pm Your last sentence is on the MARK! And the same mindset that led those white soldiers THEN, remains prevalent amongst goper supporters today. When oh when will they learn and abandon finally this sheep like behavior? Is it really THAT important to keep minorities and specifically AA’s oppressed to allow them to feel superior? How stupid can you be? It’s deplorable that many of these folks fail to receive even more appropriate direction and guidance from their clergy who can be even worse. » Posted By VegasBabe On August 6, 2014 @ 9:36 pm Monicaangela and Miles Long…looks like I missed the boat on this insightful article but have as usual genuinely enjoyed your comments and they are appreciated. Thank you both for demonstrating what i might have written were this subject not one that infuriates me to the extent it does. » Posted By VegasBabe On August 2, 2014 @ 6:09 pm Cable News Channels Declare, “Sorry, There’s Not Really Any News Today!” LMAO! I was just minutes away of believing the whole thing. Ever the most gullible one in the room! Well done! » Posted By VegasBabe On July 14, 2014 @ 9:13 pm Unsteady about Hillary: Columbia, SC 2007; and today? How ready are you? Nicely done murph! I plan to wait and see….someone besides HRC will most certainly run who will not require some of us, including me, holding our respective noses from the dem base! hey, I can hope! » Posted By VegasBabe On July 12, 2014 @ 8:51 am Another Money Making Conspiracy Con by a Right Wing Huckster Though I am vaguely familiar with this cat, and what I mean when I say that is having picked up one of his ….dare I say it….books, and read just a few paragraphs, I put it aside with all due haste and continued to ignore anything else he produced as I would any tea baggers. but I had no idea about the movie and am thankful to you murph for your points of view and the heads up! » Posted By VegasBabe On July 10, 2014 @ 10:02 pm Could Hillary Clinton Become the Next Republican President? x2 » Posted By VegasBabe On July 12, 2014 @ 8:19 am It’s unfortunate your candidate failed to deliver “soaring oratory and rhetoric” and in fact, did exactly the opposite. Your continual insults and disrespect and putrid attempts to tell folks why they voted for who they voted for continues to alarm and astound. Your candidate lost, for many here, our candidate won. It’s really quite that simple! Get over it! And for the record, you’ve failed to present any facts thus far. » Posted By VegasBabe On July 10, 2014 @ 10:17 pm SPOT ON KT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Voters chose as did I who they determined the better candidate and for most of us, it had little to do with what color he was. It seems the poster completely fails to acknowledge how McCain portrayed himself let alone his selection of a running mate. sheesh….at least your post was well said and I applaud you!!!! » Posted By VegasBabe On July 10, 2014 @ 9:42 pm Anticipating her base and the PUMA’s resurrecting the gender card (HRC is judged more harshly because she’s a woman {despite some of the stupidity that escapes her lips}) in five, four, three, two…… » Posted By VegasBabe On July 9, 2014 @ 4:45 pm Excellent summation nomanisanisland! I believe you’ve hit the nail on the head! » Posted By VegasBabe On July 9, 2014 @ 4:37 pm Is she not the same Hillary Clinton who announced on national TV that she would “obliterate” Iran were they to attack Israel? She’s in bed with the wrong folks, she’s already chosen and it should have been Americans. » Posted By VegasBabe On July 8, 2014 @ 6:18 pm She’ll run, and she’ll win and my guess is she’ll also be a one term POTUS. » Posted By VegasBabe On July 8, 2014 @ 6:03 pm She’s already on the campaign trail, both she & her husband want her to have it, millions upon millions of white women in this country are behind her vision of becoming the first female US POTUS as, I suspect, the most viable candidate in their opinion (PUMA’s where are y’all? we certainly felt your presence during her last bid) but is the best choice? Unlikely! A better female candidate? Elizabeth Warren! Has EW the gumption to go up against the Clinton machine? Also, and sadly, unlikely. » Posted By VegasBabe On July 8, 2014 @ 5:59 pm The Irresponsible Electorate and the 4th of July Hey kevin! Here’s hoping you and yours are enjoying the holiday! You wrote, “As Murph so accurately points out, the only solution to this imbalance is for ordinary citizens to educate themselves on how government actually works, and based upon that knowledge become political activists” and now, I’m just wondering, appreciating that I’ve only been present on this plant (this time) some 60 odd years but, when and if that ever happened? Folks, politically educating themselves and becoming activists? Even in the 60’s most folks remained abysmally uninvolved, did they not? Are we asking for to much? If and when the apathy is ever corrected, I gotta bad vibe that it won’t occur in my lifetime. » Posted By VegasBabe On July 4, 2014 @ 3:20 pm If we were at the “other place”, I’d be fanning and faving you for this comment and letting you know, I feel ya!!! thank you for your comments!!

Nirek, here in Vegas, we have several theaters with these divine, reclining seats that work like lay-z-boys, problem there is your subject to fall asleep!
By and large, I haven’t a clue as to why folks aren’t going to see this bit of American history. To many folks still in denial perhaps with more not wishing to be reminded of a time that was extraordinarily difficult for a great many fellow Americans.
b) why all the vitriol against anonymous or suspicion who have not and there is no evidence that there plan IS to reveal anyone’s information? Aren’t we jumping the gun, excuse the pun?
c) Vigilantism is already occupying our streets but we don’t call them vigilantes, we call them cops, and they protect their own, as has been demonstrated time and time again!
d) but hey, DC is formulating a task force….that should work, right?
e) I’d like to see the black mothers who’ve lost their children in the last 50 or so odd years determine the correct course of action. can you get with that? Were it me, I know exactly what I’d recommend.
Sounds a lot like the “children” certainly will! 🙂
