Light-Skinned Black wrote on May 30, 2008 03:46 PM: OK, Mike L., logically, I can't argue with your observations because I haven't been with you during those light-bulb moments when you determined that light-skinned blacks in America are more intensely anti-white. Your observations are your own.

But I'd bet a month's pay that I've been around more light-skinned blacks than you have and I strongly disagree with your overall conclusion.

Furthermore, your allusion to an underlying psychological reason for this antipathy towards white people has me stumped -- not just because I have no particular hatred of white people, even those animated by hate. I just don't understand what you're getting at. Please elaborate on your thesis.

Tyler H. wrote on May 30, 2008 11:26 AM: So Mike L., who are the working class whites going to vote for?? John McBush? How's 8 years of the military industrial combine working out? Taking the bus now? Best thing for those poor whites to do is volunteer for the expedition into Iran? Yes, Iran. Maybe vote for Bob Barr, the Georgia version of George Corley Wallace? Sorry, but your racist comment shows your 1960's mentality, and it stinks.

Does the 10% fee cover the cost of incarceration? Does it cover the wasted time in the court system which could go to cover real crimes or civil cases? Absolutely not! Could the DA's in that office be used to cover real crimes rather than serve as a casino collection agency? The 10% only covers the lovely basement office of Zadrowski and Co. Furthermore, I was discussing public policy. Does your business get the DA's help to cover your accounts receivable? NO! In the real world, markers are credit just like when you and I agree to bill our customers for work performed. So you get the facts straight Lee.

As for Obama, I could care less. He is not my choice. The point is that our money is being used by a second rate political hack to advance his partisan ambitions during a presidential election. It isn't as if the DA doesn't know where Rezko is given that he is on trial in Chicago. This political hack justs wants a trial here. Read the story. Rezko fell behind on payments, id welling to catch up on them, but the DA wants it all or off to prison (where we pay for it) he will go. Are you kidding me? These political hacks just want us to pay for a trial during this election cycle so that Zadrowski and Roger can win a few brownie points in their pathethic little political club. It's just so great that we can help these hacks get their names in the paper.

Also, Mile, how can a half white guy be anti white? Is it self loathing?

Mike L. wrote on May 30, 2008 08:31 AM: Obama is just another corrupt Chicago politician, who is also an anti-white racist.
White working-class men have left the Democrats forever.

Lee Yarbrough wrote on May 30, 2008 06:31 AM: MediaWatcher,

Before bashing get the facts.

The DA's office gets a 10% fee for collecting on gaming notes. That pays for the collections department. The bad check division is self supporting in Clark County.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good argument though.

MediaWatcher wrote on May 30, 2008 03:50 AM: What kind of article is this? Where is the truthful part about the Republican Party Chairman prosecuting Rezko so he can score political points against the Democratic nominee Sen. Obama? Let's as questions about why the DA is involved in collecting the casinos accounts receivable? I have several outstanding accounts receivable, will the DA imprision my non paying customers? The DA's office is owned by the casinos and so are the courts which say that "markers" are checks. They are extensions of credit and for years, the casinos had to sue non payers just like the rest of us. But with the DA and thus the public picking up yet another cost for the casinos, there is yet another public gift to the casino industry. So we pay for their backfround checks through work cards, we imprision their non payers and act as their collection agency all for a measly 6.75% tax. Our sales taxes are higher. Wake up people, I love the casinos but I don't love their company town where they own our officials lock, stock and barrell.

And for goodness sake- fire Zadrowski and get a non partisan in that job. He can do his politics on his own time.
