This poster would also like to see more black leaders take a stronger stand on the Christopher Lane killing - http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3513390

Prayers - and rightfully so for Delbert Benton: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023519614

Thinks President Obama should comment on Benton Murder case maybe? Don't know - was wondering why he had not? http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3536551

Lighten up Mr. Scorpio - while pretty much laughing off as a joke that a kid got a bullet in his chest: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022677348

For your entertainment - search 'clarice trayvon' - I knew I remembered the interaction with mr scorpio - I pegged him/her with GreenStormCloud. Pages of one liners on that case.

Think we should alert MIRT? In one of those links he/she was pointed out as a troll. At minimum - ejected from this group?

This, especially, where she makes a joke about Trayvon Martin being killed, directed at Mr. Scorpio, should tell everyone here what you need to know about this person's intentions.

Somehow I don't find it surprising that someone who is making racially grotesque comments here supports the racist religious faction aligned with the Republican Party. What's confusing is why she still posts here with impunity, or why anyone is defending her here.

As the first comment notes: misleading in that it equates charitable giving with religious giving. PeaceNikki Jun 2014 #4

Religion is a charity. GeorgeGist Jun 2014 #36

Religion might be. But religious entities like churches are all about the money. Lex Jun 2014 #41

Charity has to be a useful thing. DireStrike Jun 2014 #72

None of that means a thing because they are giving to their own churches and political causes. When jwirr Jun 2014 #42

also, which states continuously vote in politicians who tax them at a higher rate La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2014 #48

Exactly. Look at how the government treats the needy in their state and it will tell you a lot more jwirr Jun 2014 #70

This is exactly what I noted RainDog Jun 2014 #107
