    "Grateful

    I'm grateful for obama for being pro abortion if we are ever going to be able to keep the violence down in this country, abortion is the way!!! Abortions are predominately performed on blacks and everyone is aware of the fact that blacks are 12% of the population but commit 75% of the crimes in this country. But we can not dare stat the facts or we are Racist!!! I'm not a Racist!!! I'M JUST HONEST!!!! AND NOT AFRAID TO STATE THE FACTS!!!!!!!

    -- Box Pilot"

    Box Pilot, I was going to let your offensive remark about blacks go by because it is thanksgiving;I need to point out however, that racists and ignorant nincompoops also quote statistics as facts to justify their own pathetic existence. I know it is easy to generalize about race without knowing the difference between marginal rate and total figure, but it does not prevent the white supremacists from quoting it as fact to serve their own depraved purpose.

    Yes, you are not afraid to state your so-called "FACTS" because you cowardly use the anonymity of the computer to spew this garbage. Happy thanksgiving.
