Hmm... It is quite strange how pigs would fly when America has a black president. And now, the swine flu. Wow. The swine flew, all right.

Why would anyone think that the election of a Black president a hundred days ago would change what has stubbornly hung on for the past 2 or 3 hundred years. Prejudice which continues to reenforce itself thru the media, television and most aspects of daily life cannot be defeated while the stereotypes of Blacks continues on a daily basis in most aspects of our lives. Blacks themselves continue to feed these views by buying in to these stereotypes. We continue to run around with our pants dragging on the ground, fooling ourselves that looking like a criminal is cool. We lament the lack of any shows on TV showing real Black life of any kind that portrays us in a positive light. The Blacks with money who could put shows like this on TV instead choose to produce shows that continually reenforce stereotypes about us because it sells, but to who, few of these shows last more than a season or two! No it's going to take more than an occaisional positive racial blip on the screen of race relations in this country to change the widely perceived views held by mmost of White America about Blacks!

By the comments observed on this article it would appear that the poorly educated students of today(those that remain in school)
aren't the only ones who don't pay any attention to daily news or to history or much of anything else if they have to read it. Or they would know that the swine flu has been around for many years it didn't just appear when Obama took office a hundred days ago!

Swine flew was invented by the white man and the white mans KKK to get rid of the black president. The KKK knows that Obama likes to eat Italian food. And because one of the chefs in an italian restaurant is likely to be Mexican, the Mexican will have 49 of his family members living at his house and one of the family has got to have the swine flu. So, they want to hurt the president like that. Yeah. Peace out.

When Bush got in office the Muslims bombed the world trade center because Bush started sending money and boosting the economy of India. He passed bills that outsourced our American business jobs to only India people and these arent the poor of india these are the wealthy of india,Spoiled Arrogant rich educated people that only want to make us poor. They consider us Great Britain since we have the economic prowess. Have you ever seen a Pakistan IT person? How many are from India. Swine flu is probably influence by these upper class people who refuse to respect americans and work with them not take over..They are like the illegal mexicans. Its easy to get a work visa and have a child in america then America has to make them citizens and give them SS benefits since the child was born in America! WAKE UP! Investigate these people , they are making you own countrymen the low class while they buy homes and businesses here!!!!

When pigs fly, a black will be president. 100 days later, the swine flu.

I was working on contract here in New Hampshire and a Manager who was from India decent hired all people of his race only. I overheard him in the bathroom I understand their language a little and he was stating 'Why should I hire from America we can't benefit from that'

Allegis/Teksystems and other consulting firms and corporations that were supported by the bush administration to turn America into a service state type by allowing business to outsource foreigners namely from India to take over Americans Jobs by H1 visas. These foreigners are blackballing Americans and discrimating them on the job by badmouthing them or only hiring people from that country. This is why so many Americans are out of work. I say its time to say 'Go Home!'

Good story and we need others to engage into this
type of probing.We need to remove the halo the MSM
has crowned him with and look at what he is doing,not
what he says.As a black christian,the only person to
walk this earth who's motives were beyond question,
was my Lord Christ Jesus. Wake up black folk,put away
that fairy dust. As of now he seems to be the president
who happens to be black and not the black president.
