Right on Barbara!

Mr. Billingsly story about the glance was a joke, and he had to add his arrogance into the story by mentioning his expensive suit and watch. I force myself to read him occassionally and he never lets me down with his warped narrow minded mentality. He is a disgrace to the black race and ranks up there with Clarence Thomas.

Deb, tell us how you really feel (about blacks who don’t share your point of view).
Your insensitive, mean-spirited comments never cease to amaze me coming from a sensative, open-minded liberal.

Liberals are the most close-minded people I have every met. If the person is a black Conservative then he is a sellout or an Uncle Tom. If its a woman, then she is trailer trash. If its a white guy then it’s angry white males. Isnt that how it goes for you “tolerant” people instead of saying that we are people of differing opinions?

Personally, I like Mr. Billingsly and more people should pay attention.

Acentrist,

Oh you mean Z. Dwight Billingsly and Clarence Thomas the only 2 black men that I can think of that do not share my point of view.

They do not represent the any of the Black Race in this country.

Michael Steele is a good man and more of a moderate republican who does not forget what color is skin is. He has back bone and stands for something other than arrogance and the “pull yourself up by the boot straps mentality”.

My insensitive mean spirited comments never cease to amaze you, kinda like when you refrained from calling me a “koolaid drinker” the day after Easter because you are such a “Christian”. I am not any meaner or insensitive that you are on the right, and do not use the “I am a Christian” excuse while putting someone down.

The field hand now waits and shines inside the parlor.
The smell of rich cigars and the singing of his Rolex makes his mind wander to the possiblities of white December snowfalls.

Billingsly!…. Suddenly, the Hickey-Freeman suit awakens.

“I’ll get right on that Ms. Scarlett”.

A CENTRIST,

I think that J. Edgar Hoover stated it best. He was always in search for what he called “Reliable Negroes” during the beginning of the Civil Rights movement. By “Reliable Negroes” Hoover was talking about Black people who would work with him to defeat the civil rights movement betraying their own race of people in a movement that was for their own good and benefit. These type people, “Reliable Negroes” the could care less about their own people and only cared about “me, myself and I. They don’t have the Moses like compassion for their people.

These type people Hoover search out, loved the feeling they experienced thinking that they were accepted and liked by Whites, giving them this false sense of pride in believing that they were seen as being better and different from other Black people. They truly love hearing, “you are not like other Black people” instead of being insulted by their assumptions and ignorance about Blacks and people. (lol).

I understand after reading Clarence Thomas’s book, why he is the way that he is, even though I think that it is a very sad state to existence in.

But, Billingsly, I’ve never read nor have I ever heard his story and can’t say that I understand anything about him and can’t imagine that even if hearing, if I would understand where he is coming from.

Speaking of Moses (A Jewish man) and thinking about him, isn’t it interesting how he was able to have both compassion for his people (the Jewish people) and still marry and love a Cush woman meaning Black from Ethiopia, a part of the African Continent then and still is this present day and where the commonality between them was the God that they worshipped and Scripture showing us that this was a marriage that God approved of for Moses.

Neither Clarence Thomas nor Billingsly have this same kind of makeup of compassion for Black people or acceptance of the race God choice for them. Remember the Jewish people were in the same bad state in Egypt during that time as Black African slaves in America. Moses being a Jew was not raised as a Jew but as an Egyptian where Egyptians like White people in America are considered to be the superior people and where the same type power lay.

SuperCave… Once again, you’re leading with your chin. Do you never learn? You do know what they say is the difference between stupidity and ignorance, right? If not, why don’t you puzzle over it as you return your wide brush back to the paint bucket.

Deb… I agree with you. In fact, I was just reading earlier about Thomas writing a separate opinion in the court’s decision against broadcasting expletives. How could it ever get better than that?

Billingsly is a joke. His column serves only as a personal reflecting pool, where he idly passes the time lovingly gazing at himself. It adds nothing legitimate to the public discussion. It’s not interesting, nor is it entertaining– not even in a vacuous manner. And he’s definitely not a wordsmith. Please, would someone explain to me the value of this column?
