Comment: Some statements aren't worthy of a rebuttal and this is one. Time would be better spent yawning and stretching.

Name: HarrisThomas

Comment: co-sign fanteeking with two observations: 1] that the Buchanan brief of YT's resentments is what continues to fuel Jim Crow attitudes and actions . . . . . 2] shouldn't YTs be pizzed that the subprime lending vehichle that has abused AAs since the Civil War has been massively extended to them and is partially responsible for the US economic meltdown?

Comment: Well, it is a nothing topic and we can't keep giving buchanan a voice through black columns but jazz is showing promise in becoming a better less bitter writer. For that I give her two snaps up.

Name: HarrisThomas

Comment: apart from fickle YTs and a bit off topic: the clintons see that the remaining primaries are not likely to give Hillary the push that she needs to clinch the nomination and it's sadly interesting that the clintons are now engaged in making certain that the Democratic party is so splintered going into the general election that it will be incapable of winning in November . . . . . if O-BA-MA!! is the Democratic candidate who loses in November, the clintons will blame O-BA-MA!! in the same manner that they seem to be getting away with blaming O-BA-MA!! for the delegate problem in Michigan and Florida

Comment: Yt Conservative blogs have no issue writing about things "black" from their povs. Hence, Pat's stupid article. this is a black "liberal" and there needs to be an adequate amount of time letting our community know how we are being handled in the larger community. For that reason alone, u go head Jas! Hell, if the article was titled A Brief for Blackey...then I guess it would be important. Go head JAS! Go head!

Name: NYCsoul

Comment: When folks like Pat make idiotic, racist comments, there needs to be as many rebuttals to the idiocy. There is no excuse in this day and age for this fool to make comments like this. This woman's column has a right to be here just like that other fool whose an actor on the Cosby that will probably come in defense of Pat's idiocy. If Pat can write blogs of this kind of garbage, then it's only fair that Jasmine have her turn to post. Jasmine's article is right on point. Sadly, most yts and some of handkerchief head blacks believe Pat's nonsense. Go on, Jasmine!

Name: Southernbelle

Comment: nuff said, you broke it down Jasmyne. If Pat's still talking shyt we should feel justified in addressing his azz.

Name: mandinka_99

Comment: Why is NO One making an issue that ignorant opinions of people like Pat Buchanan have an unimpeded route to the ears of elected Reubicans; many of who actively seek out his advice?

Name: Winn30344

Comment: I like the way Jasmyne broke it down..good article!!

Name: Fantastic49

Comment: You make great points, Jasmyne. But some of it is lost in you calling them "whitey". Except for that, I would send this article to my white co-workers!!

Name: jazzfan

Comment: >Pat Buchanan (whitedragon) and blackdragon and the others who disagree with Jasmyne and believe that we should just kiss Uncle Sam's feet for allowing us to be here. This is from yesterday's Washington Post: The average black person in America is 447 percent more likely to be imprisoned than the average white person, and 521 percent more likely to be murdered. Blacks earn 60 cents to the dollar compared with whites who have the same education levels and marital status. The black poverty rate is nearly twice the white poverty rate. Blacks tend to die five years earlier than whites; the infant mortality rate among black babies is nearly 1 1/2 times the rate among white babies. And because of long-standing patterns of inheritance, blacks and whites begin life with substantial disparities in family wealth. "The point we were making is, whatever the cost of being black might be, whites are vastly underestimating it," said Mazzocco, of Ohio State University at Mansfield. "You throw in the 5-to-1 wealth gap . . . if you wanted to put a dollar-and-cents value on the difference, you would come up with a number much larger than $5,000." The unusual experiment is one of dozens that have found that whites tend to have a relatively rosy impression of what it means to be a black person in America. Whites are more than twice as likely as blacks to believe that the position of African Americans has improved a great deal. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2 008/03/23/AR2008032301417.html
