Way to ignore my post, idiot, let’s get back on topic…

Your idol, Oliver, publishes copyrighted material all the time by linking to other blogs.

At least I’m straight up about it.

BTW, what’s FOAD?

Can’t you just admit that Emmett Till’s murder, as horrible as it was, didn’t have the effect you and Oliver say it did?

What is it with you lefties? You gotta be wrong sometimes… Don’t you?

Hey, we can use that excuse for any thief “I’m not stealing anything, I’m just redistributing it”.

Another example of Republican values- if you can get away with it, it’s not stealing. Why don’t you either.

a. Write your own content
b. Pay to publish your reprint
c. FOAD

I’m not stealing anything, I’m just reprinting it. Something bothers you about it?
a) Don’t read it.
b) Report me
c) STFU

The legal right granted to an author, composer, playwright, publisher, or distributor to EXCLUSIVE production, sale, or distribution of a literary, musical, dramatic, or artistic work.

Excerting the work is usually considered fair use. You reprint the whole thing. You say you report news, what you do is steal the work of real reporters. Big difference. Jackass.

What irony? I said what I had to say, and then I insulted you directly. You, on the other hand (as usual), had nothing to say.

Oh, and thanks for reading my ‘blog.

My blog is not about my ego. It’s about news. I report news.

Unlike Oliver, I don’t link to other blogs who have done the work. I find the articles and reprint them.

To me a copyright is like a footnote that acknowledges the source and the author.
To do otherwise is plagiarism.

Forced busing was imposed by judicial fiat. Liberal activism? You call it.

Loopy: Another con flip flop, as you call it, is better than the ranting of a left wing nitwit like you. The liberal motto: “Nothing to say, insult the poster”

Oh, and thanks for reading my ‘blog! Hehe

Wow, the irony.

I thought Frank retired from this blog? I mean, I know there is lots of time left over after cutting and pasting his blog posts from copyrighted material, but didn’t he swear at us and promise he was leaving?

Another con flip-flop.

You mentioned “forced busing / forced school desegreation” which were the liberal policies at the time. It’s really sad how conservatives always try to shift the stain of racism off of their movement. Personal responsibility’s really just a hollow phrase with you people, isn’t it?

TomY and Loopy: Could you possibly be more stupid? Did I mention liberals or agitators?

And, Oliver, nobody cooperates (in my meaning of the word, anyway) with people who they consider to be subhuman.

To all three of you: The Emmett Till story re-surfaced well after the 60’s, if not the 70’s.
That’s not from the New York Times, that’s from personal memory…

Right, white racism was something that liberals *provoked*.

Actually sounds like the old southern lament “Our blacks were happy until them thar’ rabble-rousing Yankees come here and fill them up with crazy ideas”.

Shorter Frank D: liberal agitators were to blame for black white tension.

If anything this was one of the first nationally recognized lynching. It was a tremendous tragedy and beyond that, a way for the rest of the country to realize what it was like to be black in the south.

Where even a boy who didn’t know better could be bruttally murdered while the justice system was totally fixed to protect the killers.

Brown v. Board was one thing. But this was entirely different.

Thanks for the link Oliver

You can be forgiven for your youth, Oliver, but there was a thriving White / Negro cooperation in my hometown in 1948.
It was Truman’s integration of the Armed Forces that kicked off the Civil Rights movement. Even Brown v. Board proceeded this terrible incident. The incident gained national attention because Emmett Till’s burial picture appeared in Jet magazine.

I’m not sure why mistakes like this are made, or what the purpose might be, but it is important to keep the record straight. There was a time when “ordinary” white folks and “ordinary” black folks sat down together in a spirit of cooperation.

I believe it was forced busing / forced school desegreation that brought back the acrimony in the white / black relationship…

I think there was probably a more placid existence. You can’t have cooperation when one group of people is considered subhuman, don’t try to whitewash it.

Emmett Till - 50 years ago this week

The attention surrounding hurricane Katrina has obscured some other recent noteworthy events, including the fiftieth anniversary of the lynching death of Emmett Till. Till was a 14 year old black boy from Chicago who was visiting relatives in Mississip…

Thanks Oliver.

A lot going on this week, but this is an event that we shouldn’t forget.
