I had one black student tell me that after their right to vote would be taken away there would be a national attempt to reinstall slavery.

He swears to me this is true.

Geez, if he believes that kind of insanity, he probably even believes that the Jena 6 are victims of imjustice!

I had a similar situation at a customer site where this black woman had been crying all morning after the election results where President Bush had been reelected, had been announced. She loudly complained that "Bush was going to reinstitute slavery!" She knew that, because her husband, a union shop foreman, had told her so.

Ask him where he heard it. Then play to his paranoia - tell him you need to know so that the leak can be plugged.

Being black, I get these crap emails all the time. What bugs me is that these emails are forwarded from people w/educations, including graduate degrees. I just shake my head and wonder wtf these people are thinking, where is their knowledge of history? It’s just stupid and yet people report this stuff to each other as if it were the gospel.

I guess its past time that the CIA stop selling drugs in the black community. Look at what its doing to your friend. :-)

I hear the same thing from black adults occasionally at work.
I simply say,”wow,thats terrible.We need to hit the streets immediately and demand this racist crap stop NOW”
I get a funny look and then its back to card games and blatherings about the latest Tyler Perry movie.

I guess they just don't open up to me because I'm a proponent of global warming. (Canada + Russia warmer = more living space for everyone.)
