January 5th, 2009

JAMIE HOLTS.. YOUR REPETITIOUS BLOGS MUST BE THE NEW SCENARIO OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
Jamie Holts,
WTF?????????????????
This is messy and Burris seems to be arrogant. And it is nothing but a distraction for Barack Obama…Burris sit down and let the political process take its course…..Also, to the black community stop making everything racial.
While i understand where you coming from Chris , you’ve got to understand that AA’s have been opressed, repressed, depressed and any other press, some can’t help but make it a race thing given our history in the united states. I just have to say i want the world too stop being so mean and hateful.
Chris,
Stop tellin the black community what to do if you ain’t for us you against us. This ain’t you fight so stay out the battle.
