Don't hide behind anything, Tamura--you can tell by how I post under my real name.

Anthony and I agree on almost nothing (in fact he had me blocked from seeing him under the old FB-powered 'comments' system), but your disparagement of his being an 'ex-con' raises some questions:

(1) since he's an EX-con, doesn't that suggest he's done his time?  Paid his debt to society and all that?

(2) If so, what's your basis for continuing to hold this against him?

(3) Has he committed more crimes?

(4) Is he currently under indictment?

(5) Egged your house or let the air out of your tires?

(6) What's your problem with him beyond disagreeing with his views?

Speaking of 'sad', you do realize you don't get a 'pass' for being 'non-white' no matter how many times you flout this as if it somehow bolstered your arguments, right?  Thanks to the late, great Malcolm X (rah'matullahi alayhi), we know where to file that specious argument: under 'house slave/field slave comparison'.

MaSalaam.
