I've been taking a summer course about race and its portrayals in the media and this would have made an excellent piece for discussion, mainly about where society is with "acceptance" and "tolerance," issues about political correctness and nitpicking, etc. From a public image point of view, I'm fairly surprised she wasn't fired (just 'reprimanded') given how this, you know, furthers the stereotype that everyone in the GOP sees heaven as a placed filled with rich, Republican white people. Is this really a stereotype anymore? Most of the Pubs who got this e-mail, I've read, said they didn't even think it was racist, but pretty funny. Isolated accident?

I think he'll do a good job and I feel completley AWFUL knowing that he has to hear all of these bad racist jokes about him and all..I don't want racist kinds of things to go down again..Geeez. anyway, love and peace to all.

Re:Black Men in America’s Jails and Prisons

Too many young black men continue to waste their precious lives in a state of neo bondage. As a correctional educator for the past several years, I can tell you that the prisons and jails in this great country are overflowing with young African-Americans (You already know). All of my students are young black men – one exception. As a teacher, it saddens me to see the talent that is wasted on a daily basis.

We all need to start doing more to address this escalating dilemma. The youth of this country don’t need to rot in jail, while we (Americans) ignore the problem. Something is causing this horrible trend to continue. You may ask yourself ”What can I do?”. There is no easy answer, but you need to do something. A few suggestions would be:

organize sports functions (basketball leagues, football leagues, etc.)
talk to kids at school
write books
contact government officials
do volunteer work
tutor kids
take kids fishing, camping, etc.

The point here is to start doing something. If we simply ignore the problem, where do you think we will be in 10 years pertaining to this issue?
