Obama image found hanging on Kentucky campus
. Authorities at the University of Kentucky are trying to find out who hanged a life-sized stuffed doll of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on campus (the bottom of the display is pictured). The Obama likeness was found hanging from a tree on campus Wednesday morning, college spokesman Carl Nathe said. Police immediately took it down. School President Lee Todd says that he plans to personally apologize to the Obama family on behalf of the university and that he is “personally offended and deeply embarrassed by this disgusting episode.” It’s the second time an effigy has been found on a college campus recently. Earlier this week, George Fox University in Oregon said it was punishing four students who confessed to hanging a likeness of Obama from a tree. Obama wasn’t the only victim of such pranks. Secret Service agents recently visited a California home where a mannequin of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hangs from a noose. The display also features John McCain surrounded by fake flames coming out of the bungalow’s chimney. Deputy Special Agent in Charge Wayne Williams told The Associated Press that so far that incident seems to be a harmless Halloween display. He said they are not treating it as a threat.

I have watched to see if my comments would be posted and they have not. I won’t be posting to BET ever again.
You would think that by now all this racism would of ended. We have our freedom but still fighting for respect. The Lord put us all here TOGETHER. If he wanted one race to be dominate over another he would of written it, but I don’t see that written in the Good book. The Lord made all man dominate over the beast in the field. And the last time I checked us blacks are not in a field and we’re definitely not beast. We should come together (all races) as one to make this a better nation and get it back to how things use to be before Bush.

1st of all daniel before you start talking s–t, If you are not black you will never understand. Take the cotton out your ears and put it in your mouth. It does not matter whats the color of your skin,but to use a noose and hang an image of Obama from a tree is a very cowardly move and shows how much talent one may have. When people do stupid @~~# like this it lets us know he is headed in the right direction.So yes be very afraid because we have arrived and we are not going NO WHERE. How could you ( daniel) even consider the too are the same. Daniel check your history books and c how many whites were hung from a tree. Don’t dislike get like.JUST Think it out all the way through cause MASTER don’t live here no mo.
daniel yet again with your ignorence, black man hanging from a tree, white woman hang from a chimney as part of a holloween display these actually seem the same to u? Come on we know ur ignorant and u don’t have to keep proven our point every time u come on, and if your truely upset about about the bouble standards, be mad at your ancestors because ya’ll creatated them. now ur pissed cause we may actually have a chance at a lvl playing ground. U really do have a problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am ashamed to be an American!!!!! You people are so divided it’s simply ridiculuos!!!!!!! The Pledge of Alligence states “One Nation Under God”!!!! Where is this nation? There will always be a battle between the Democratic and Republican parties. But that’s not were seeing as a people!!!!!! We’re being exposed to RACISM on a political level. No matter if its black against white or white against black!!!! And in some cases, black on black and white on white!!!!!!! It makes me sick!!!!!!!! I will never raise children in this RACIST country!!!!!!!!! And Daniel, everyone else wanted to down talk you. I am an African American and I understand parts of what you hint at. I respect your voice. In your comment, you wrote about an article about Sarah Palin that BET said nothing about. Answer me this, when FOX NEWS gets an article downtalking Obama, do they defend him? Have they ever said anything positive about Obama? Racist people like you are quick to point the finger when the racism is put in your face!!!!!! See how it feels? Not good right!!!!!! American people need to unite!!!!! Although it probably will never happen, its always good to mention it!!!!!!!
It is not by accident that the United States is in the financial position they find themselves in. This has been coming and there was nothing that could have been done to stop it. It is also no accident that Barack Obama is on the threshold of becoming the next President of this country and there is nothing that can be done to stop this. You might as well get used to it. This is “divine intervention.”
Daniel do you subscribe to JET/EBONY or ESSENCE? They’ve got specials this time of year. I say that because your “sooo” into the black community, I feel that you need to be on top of your game. Patronize our magazines. To my beautiful brothers & sisters, Daniel just want us to bicker among ourselves, we know the old white boy trick. They don’t want us in nothing, but they always want to be in our socialite.
In my opinion, both are in poor taste and offensive.
Very , Very, SAD!!!!! We all need to continue to PRAY!!!!!
Daniel ,

I so agree, we should vote for who’s the most qualifying individual for the job and that happens to be OBAMA! I’m not looking at his race it doesn’t matter at all to me at all. As an African-American we have for years place others in office that we thought were qualified now it’s his turn! A CHANGE IS COMING!!!!
NO PALIN ,NO MC CAIN.
ALL WE DIE ON THE SAME FLAG.
YET , OBAMA 2008.
NEW LEADER FOR THE WHITE HOUSE .OBAMA
HONEST ,RESPEST ,HUMBLE , JUSTICE FOR ALL
STOP THE THEM WAR IN IRAQ.
RESTORE THE DEMOCRATIE., RESPEST AROND THE WORLD. JUDGEMENT, LOVE, PATIENT. GOD WILL
GOD WILL GIVE HIM VICTORY ON NOV 4.
GO AND VOTE .
MC.CAIN USED FEAR, HATRED, EVERY NONE SENSE STUFF.
BUT ALL AMERICAN WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA 2008
MC.CAIN PALIN MORE CORRUPTION ON THE HOUSE .
Barack is a strong minded individual, he knows he’s going to have to deal with this type of foolishness for at least four years coming up. He knows that the majority of the U.S. wants him & the rest of the U.S. would have rather have seen a woman in office rather than an African American male. He’s made History, get over it……..
I don’t think we should add fire to the fuel. I think this type of behavior should be ignored and not gain so much media attention. I think we should focus on the election. Racism will only change if we help it change. Many do not want OBAMA in office because he is BLACK…but clearly he is the best candidate. Many do not want PALIN in office because she is a woman…my perception of her is not that she is a woman but she is MCCAINS running mate and neither have the right standards or objectives to be leaders of America. We should not jugde because of race or gender, we should judge who is best. We should concern ourselves with who really cares about all of us. Rich or Poor and no matter what our nationailty. The only candidate that I see who cares about all of us is OBAMA…so lets make our vote count..or shut up!!!!!!!!!!!
I am voting for Obama. but, i do have some comments towards others on here.
-Jasmine: people were hanging white people way back in the day before the black racism started in America. (hanging, beheading and burning at the stake) they were the people that didn’t share the same rules and values as everyone else. (not necessarily witches either)
-Skipper: that would be a bad idea to boycott a whole college for an incident that happened (which was horrible) by a few people when there are hundreds of other people at that college that think it was awful. whoever it was they will find out and they will be punished.
-Moeb: i agree with you when you said “It’s no longer a race thing, it’s just plain ignorance and it seems to be spreading like wildfire through all the races.”
I am so tired of hearing all these things that people are saying and doing to each other because of this presidential vote. it is horrible. Everyone needs to grow up. Remember, in grade school you learned these 2 sayings: “do unto others……..” and “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all”
Lynn I want to thank you for serving this country that has ZERO respect for us as a minority. As far as Daniel goes HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! You are such an idiot and scared ol lil white boy not ready for our first BLACK PRESIDENT!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I swear it pains me that my husband, 1st Infantry Batallion served this racist ass country. Nearly died for those like Daniel. I know racism will never end and the race war can has begun to open I just say to all black people get out and vote and take your voice to the polls so people like Daniel can appreciate and quit HATING!!!!!
by the way daniel HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JW, u are a prime example of a hater—you seem to be a negative person. people can vote for obama for whatever reason they want to vote for him, and just because you choose not to vote for him because he’s black oh WELL!! we’ve been looking at white faces all of our lives learning about white history all of ours lives not to mention living it…I’m proud of Obama because he is black, intelligent and egar to help our country—so if other people are voting for him because he’s black,,,are you not voting for him because he’s black–whats the difference i mean if you’re going to complain because their are not just black people voting for him,…..get a clue dude–OH and Daniel–i will pray for you, you’re only acting out the way you’ve been taught the fact of the matter is you don’t want to vote for obama for whatever the reason may be then don’t vote for mccain if you wish but don’t come to our website argueing with us—you will never understand us because you’re not black…and we will never know how it feels to be black….thats the way it is
Because of stuff that has been said about Obama from Palin and McCain(that he was a terrorist)… He has had someone(skinheads) try to kill him already. So “NO” Daniel, the noose crack is not taken lightly, especially since that is how alot of our ancestors were offed in the old days! It’s bull crap. I hope Obama does win, but I hope he keeps his life as well. Let us pray……. To all those biased and racist a**holes, you got to answer to the big man upstairs for your ignorance. Press on!
