#1 I'm starting to enjoy PressTV. It's like a cross between the New York Times and Mad Magazine seasoned with just a hint of Scrappleface

#2 I hate these reports, In my family there is only one person that has ever been arrested, no welfare brood mares, and 70 percent college grads. I guess we are not really African-Americans. I know that someday the MSM will start profiling successful black people, but I am not holding my breath! Cry me a river for the F-ing Losers!

#5 Whenever people think of a "poor person", they immediately think "must be black". It is true that the poverty rate for blacks (in 2007) was 25.5%, as opposed to 10.5% for whites (see wikipedia). However, there are six times as many whites as there are blacks. So, there are approximately 22 million poor whites, and only 9 million poor blacks.

#6 I remember the news -'World Ends Tomorrow!!' And the newspaper headline says 'Women, Blacks,& Children To Suffer Most!'
