(I received this disturbing email today and would like to know your thoughts on this. I do think that we are experiencing some toxic expressions of feelings that were probably buried inside of folks, up until Barack Obama became POTUS. It is sad, really because it seems we take one step forward and two steps back as racism still plagues our society. I think if there were more balance in who owned major TV media, we'd have a better perspective on a diversity of opinions and ideas. But as it stands now, our main stream media seems to contribute to being inciteful and provovative, in the worst way.

And I watched CNN yesterday while some of the GOP apologists ignored questions about the hateful rhetoric going on. Larry Elders leading the pack, being the 'Uncle Clarence' that he is refuses to acknowledge racism exists and is into blaming the victim... but I digress... if these folks expect to be taken seriously, they have to at least denounce those who are making those hateful and derrogatory expressions, otherwise, we are left to believe they agree with it. Why is Michael Steele so afraid to speak out against Rush Limbaugh... who is the 'real' leader of the Republican Party? I don't remember hearing any of them speak out against what Glen Beck said either.

UGH! I'm just praying that all this comes to a good end for all of us. We need universal health care! We need a public option!!!!! We need to stop obscene raping of economy by Wall St and private insurers. We need honesty in government. Is that too much to ask?)

Forwarded Message: Have we become a liability_.eml

Have we become a liability?

In an email message sent to me my friend in Pennsylvania said the following:

Check out Sheryl's comments. Her daughter is in residency at Yale Hospital - they live in Connecticut, but she's returning to this area to help raise her grandson.

This march occurred on Sat. 9/12 and was organized around 6 months ago and grew rapidly. Huge crowds on Pennsylvania Avenue and the Mall area - they came from all across America. One of the worst signs I saw was "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy." This was major - CNN is starting to report on it - but a big injustice is being done by not informing people - because that movement is growing and stirring up hate. Hate is contagious,. Those who could not make it to D.C. had individual tea parties in their home states which turn out thousands. Trust me, this movement is very, very serious and dangerous.and having a big impact on the White House. Congress was stunned by the turnout. The author of "The Psychopathic Racial Personality" " Most Whites are psychopaths - they are unable to experience guilt, are completely selfish and callous, and have a total disregard for the rights of others ... "Psychopaths simply ignore the concept of right and wrong, (Did slavery and the fact they try to ignore it today show that) The author further states "Blacks are now a liability to the White race .... therefore there's only one concept left - genocide

Who should get the swine flu shot...

(I received this note from Aetna.)

What to do about swine flu

The H1N1 virus, also known as "swine flu", has quickly spread around the world. A new vaccine for this virus should be ready this fall. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that the following groups get the vaccine first:

• pregnant women
• parents and others who care for children younger than 6 months of age
• health care workers
• children and young adults 6 months through 24 years of age

NAACP launches an investigation... man shot in church day care center

ACTION ALERT! Dear Supporter, Police shot and killed Mark Anthony Barmore, a 23-year-old black man, in a church day care center a few weeks ago in Rockford, Illinois. We have also learned that one officer involved in this killing has been accused of several other questionable police shootings. As you can imagine, tension is running high in the Rockford community and we are deeply concerned. I thought you should know what the NAACP is doing about it. Today I will be leading a delegation of NAACP leaders and staff to launch the NAACP's investigation of this police killing and the police department itself. In Rockford today, we will address a rally of community leaders and report on NAACP's engagement with the Department of Justice to thoroughly investigate this awful tragedy. We are also working with Congress to require the establishment of national standards for use of force, and training in use of force, for law enforcement officers. Currently, there are as many use-of-force policies as there are law enforcement agencies in our Nation today, and there are as many interpretations of those policies as there are law enforcement officers. This lack of uniformity is one of the core reasons behind the tragedy in Rockford and in too many other instances across the Nation. We thank the Department of Justice for taking this case seriously through the outreach efforts its Community Relations Service. But to help re-establish trust in the community and to ensure that the Rockford police department is operating with integrity, we need a federal investigation into this case. Please, sign our petition urging the Department of Justice to conduct a full investigation of this shooting and the ongoing use of force by the Rockford police department. So what actually happened in Rockford? Eyewitnesses say that outside a church day care center, Mr. Barmore encountered two police officers who apparently were looking for him on an allegation of domestic violence. He ran inside the church, and the officers followed him, guns drawn, without a warrant. After Mr. Barmore entered a small boiler room, the police demanded he come out. He slowly exited the room with his hands up. Then, witnesses say, police shot him -- in front of small children in the day care center. While he lay face down, witnesses say, police shot him three more times in the back! Additionally, officers have been using intimidation tactics against witnesses, such as sitting outside their homes and slowly driving by their homes. We all must act to stop this kind of police abuse, so I need your help now. Please, sign the petition and help us promote smart and safe law enforcement policies. I will be keeping you updated on the killing in Rockford and our efforts to investigate it - and prevent future tragedies. Sincerely, Benjamin Todd Jealous President and CEO NAACP

No one should die in the richest nation on earth because they can't afford health care

No one should die in the richest nation on earth because they can't afford health care, and no one should go bankrupt because they get sick. (If you agree with this, post this in your own 'status' or 'notes' section for a couple of days.)
