when i saw the actual video from the locomotive, unless i missed something, i NEVER saw the Vaughns (who claimed to go to the car & pound on windows (that couldn't possibly have been intact) to see if they could 'save' anyone) come even close to the stopped locomotive...go figure...

Jenna the flaw in your thinking is clear, there is no such thing as "reverse racism". Racism is not a car that goes forward and backward it has no natural direction and to infer such is an affront to all clear thinking people. Racism is racism and that's that. Also, ALL of the initial coverage of this event only concerned the girl as she was the focus of the initial news story. If past behavior is any indication of future performance then the fact that many racial things said on a national site about this incident probably would have started here as many of you lead the pack in discriminatory comments (even before the nationals get a hold of the story). So I can be very confident that my post defused many of those commenters who eventually self-rightgeously (and with a bit of sardonic glee)flung the fact that two Black men were also killed. Now, how you respond to facts is your business. My business is to make sure those facts are well known and in public view. I am sure if you don't like the facts you can dismiss or ignore them but these facts will be back, they won't go away. And if I understand you correctly when all the Jews involved with the holocaust die we can forget it ever happened??? I DONT THINK SO! I am not here to sway anyone of you with my argument so don't think that much of yourselves PLEASE! My purpose is to make public the shocking facts of racism in the USA. The validity of my argument will become clearer to all who read it with each passing day. Of course I am angry. Spending years and years as a second class citizen will do that to you. And despite efforts to the contrary by the majority yes, I perservered and created my own American Dream and I am committed to public disclosure of racism so many who also carry this burden might afford the American Dream. No watchful you will never be rid of me!

Looks like we lost legalbigot. Hey, maybe he got a job? Or..maybe he started taking his meds again? Either way it's a win-win.

jenna and sly, you both sound like rational, patient, and caring persons. I am much more willing to listen to you both who have a voice of reason than legal/eagle who rants and always sounds so angry.

I've seen lots of coverage that talks about all the kids. I don't recall seeing hardly any coverage about just the girl except for the occasional commenting on whether her boyfriend was too old for her. And legaleagle007, why do you assume that the lack of anyone saying it was deserved or because some were black or any other racial thing has ANYTHING to do with your example post? You can't be sure that we would have said anything differently without you here than we've said now except we wouldn't have the additional parts having to argue with you about racism. And I agree with Sly that about the "quit blaming whitey" for your problems. A big difference between the Jews and holocaust and slavery with blacks is that there are still people alive who suffered the holocaust. No one alive today was an American slave. When my day goes badly or someone treats me wrong I don't say it's "because I'm a woman" and I don't rail on & on about the difference in pay and promotions between a woman and a man. Your arguments don't sound like they've swayed anyone here and some of your comments lower your credibility because you sound a bit extreme in them. Maybe if you so strongly believe that your posts prevents racism, you should be more focused on the aol site you refer to and their racism. You don't fight racism with reverse racism; you fight racism with tolerance and education.

legaleagle, Intelligent people never lower themselves to appease another person. You write that you have never been unemployed. Explain how a man who claims that blacks, even though they may be educated, are underemployed at a greater rate than whites has never been unemployed! How can you claim you know first hand about prejudice and racism and then relate info that indicates you are living the American dream?

legaleagle007 :::: I OWN YOU ???? Early morning LMFAO.....

Look Sly I NEVER said I was unemployed and I have never been unemployed. You have no idea who I am! Do I care how I sound to any of you, NO! I match the lowness and shallowness of who I am speaking to, and I can give as good as I get. I can also match intelligence when I encounter it. I made the mistake of giving you both too much credit when I began this discussion. Obviously, discussing things of a higher order makes no impact on both of you so I am not above lowering myself to your level to speak in a way you can understand. I will continue to speak to both of you like the name calling immature children you are and I will make examples of you and believe me MANY are watching and noting how vile anonymity can make one behave. Yes, we are all warped here! And it is so nice to have you back checking on our progress it proves I am in your mind also. My cowardice is only matched or exceeded by YOURS! But in reality you know nothing about me so your taunts and names mean absolutely NOTHING! You are a faceless, made up name on a website who feels you can dispense with normal plesantries when speaking with another Human Being due to your anonymity on this site. Yes, you are both prime examples of the bravado and courage only the anonymous could have. Keep coming back and checking on us and remember I will never shy away from either of you in fact your repeat presence here to speak to me only proves one thing....I OWN YOU!

legaleagle007 ::::: Sometimes i don't know how to take you. This blog has nothing to do with race.

LegalBeagle you're beginning to sound quite warped. Do I need to remind you that anyone with a PC and an ISP can log onto this site and read your comments? I guess what bothers me about that is others can see how LOW and shallow your thinking really is. The news report is about 5 people that were killed and you are so small and one dimensional you can't get over what someone has said about Black People. It was you that said you were unemployed and while you are here in this room trading insults and showing your ass/ignorance you should be looking for gainful employment. Is it so hard for you to believe there are others that don't like you because you are Black? There is nothing new about that. You are a coward and only a shell of a person. If you do have an advanced degree then truly you were cheated and should look for a refund.
