I can't believe the paper from the city where I went to college published this LTTE.
http://www.stevenspointjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080227/SPJ06/802270338

About 30 years ago I saw a black lady being interviewed on TV, and at one point she blurted out a statement that has stuck in my mind. She said, "first we are going to bankrupt you with Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) payments and then when our dependent children are old enough to vote we're going to out vote you."

At that time, about 1978, the population of Washington. D.C., our capital city, was already about 70 percent black. The rest of the country was only around 12 percent black.

It's not clear just what organization has orchestrated this transformation from a relatively financially solvent, white male dominated country, as specified in the original Constitution, to the bankrupt, Africanized and feminized country of today.


This has got to be the most disgusting and appalling Letter to the Editor I have ever seen! This guy oughta be ashamed for himself, but then again, maybe he's too busy getting ready for his next cross burning.

Just plain despicable.

And shame on the Stevens Point Journal, a newspaper I read every day to keep up with what's happening in the town where I went to college for printing such a thing in this day and age.

2. Disgusting!!!!
I know such people exist (we've got the British National Party who hold equivalent views); but I'm surprised the letter got published in a mainstream newspaper.

4. Yeah, you'd be surprised what you'll find in rural Wisconsin.
Trust me, you'll find a lot of racist assholes out in the boondocks. Hell, In nearby Juneau County there's a bunch of white seperatists, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

3. Nothing To Be Disgusted about ...
.

The writer has every right to express his/her view. The excerpt from the LTTE shows clearly the mind set of the writer. The writer of the LTTE is wrong on oh so many levels.

The LTTE also allows the rest of the people to understand just how great the hurdles are that will have to be overcome if USA is to be united, liberal and progressive society again.

8. My question: who's the guy with the guitar?
We see Radner, Belushi, Chase, Morris, and Elliot Gould.

7. Good to hear from a white male supremacist! And if anybody believes his little story about what
he heard a 'black lady' say on TV, I've got a bridge to sell you.

11. Who is the letters editor, David Duke?
And why do bigots feel the need to fabricate these little anecdotes?
