Thanks for the reply. I can almost understand why yanking a post with Obama in witch doctor garb gets yanked because true Conservatives don't stoop to that sort of childish behavior. Likewise, I can thin we can all agree with the pulling of the thread back in summer 2009 when Obama's kids, while in France, were being ridiculed -- although it was obvious that source of the pictures being posted were from leftists seeking to harm the good reputation of Free Republic.
That said, and perhaps the Admin Moderator(s) can explain why, the term black can't be used when it accurately describes the people engaging in such acts as riots and other crimes. Even the highly-PC media here in Dallas will use the term "black", "white" or "Hispanic" when issuing an Amber Alert or a "be on the lookout" statement for a criminal. As Faber College might phrase it, "truth is good". :-)
I’d rather use the word “black.” My Grandparents owned a small farm during the Great Depression, surrounded by an Amish community in Southern Michigan. Those wonderful people pulled my Mom’s rather large family through the toughest parts of the the depression, and the family is eternally grateful to them. My family was never Amish, but they were never treated as “outsiders.”
