won’t hurt. We are in such a hurry to judge and point fingers at everything before we can find out the real truth. I love that I was born black and in America, but what exactly will it take for all of us to wake up before we have another crisis on our hands and it’s worse than before? Who will you blame this time? Austin must have made a direct hit on some people out there. Isn’t it amazing how hateful people act when looking the truth in the face? Call me a whiner but the Richmond Co. animal shelter is disgusting! No water in a bowl and no air circulation. Let’s lock Dr. Bonnie in a cage on a hot afternoon and see how she likes it. In reference to The Insider in The Spirit referring to Linda Schrenko being a front-runner: I assure you that is a joke Sonny Perdue will crush her. He will totally destroy her, she has no chance! I think Congressman Norwood must have a problem with women. He’s supporting two aging white guys (Perdue and Burns) over two dynamic women. Norwood is such a radical conservative there is no way his views represent me and I vote Republican almost every time. Get with it Charlie. How is it white folks are always telling black folks when something isn’t racist
or they are not being discriminated against? This city and society is rooted in racism and everything in it is about race. Black people know when reports and the grand jury findings are discriminating. Stop trying to tell us what we know is true, that it’s a figment of our imagination or a people using the race card again. If this town wasn’t so racist, maybe black people would believe it, but we don’t. White people are the ones tearing up this city, not the commissioners, by trying to run down everything that’s black and replacing it with everything that’s white. It’s a power struggle no one is going to win. As an educated black man who has lived in Augusta since 1988, racism clearly exists. But this Black Supremacy Nation does absolutely nothing for me as a black man or for anybody else. This Malcolm X wannabe needs to just give it up and try to do something to bring peace among all the people, because we are all people of God. Yes, there is racism, especially here, but he doesn’t have to try perpetuating it with this Black Supremacy Nation crap. Let me see a White Supremacy Nation building like that and watch me and everybody else freak out. Get rid of it! — Call our Whine Line at 510-2051 and leave your comments. We won’t use your name.
