Your name is not in the heading I wrote that you copied below so I'm not sure what you're referring to.
But since we're talking about my use of "claiming ignorance" ... sigh ... First, I do not engage in name-calling ... and I still have yet to see you challenge the real name-callers on here who drop F-boms, N-words and like to spell Barack's name "O-s-a-m-a." I would like an explanation for your double standard.
As for my use of the word Ignorance ... There are people on this site who say Obama makes pretty speeches but no one knows what he stands for. That is choosing to "ignore" information on Obama that is EVERYWHERE. "Ignorance" means "choosing to ignore" ... it is NOT name-calling, it is an accurate observation.
Vote for whom you will, but please take your responsibility as an American citizen seriously, I beg you all. Read the newspaper, go on the candidates' websites, watch the 17+ debates online that have already taken place. All of the candidates have taken their stand on the issues.
It is your job to get informed.

RMagyar, Nancy and others,
It seems some claim ignorance, but refuse to go out and find the information they claim to seek.
Just like Purple, I am educated (earned a graduate degree), and when you specifically place my name in the heading and indicate that I claim ignorace, I consider it name calling. You call it what you want.

Purple Reign- Is that you Mel Gibson? Ah yes, we all know the Jews are to blame for all the problems in the world and the Holocaust never happened. Jealous aren’t ya. Jealous we are far more intelligent than you black cretins. Jealous we have a large standing in the financial world and out earn you 500,000:1. At least we don’t kill our own minute by minute all across America. At least we don’t leach off white people and scream racism like you do, when you don’t get your welfare checks. At least we are civilized people that don’t shit where we eat and give guns and drugs to our children, or have our men dumping their load in anything black that walks and dump them faster than you can say Bros before Hos. At least our men don’t rape white women 38,000 times a year. At least our men don’t go into women’s clothing stores, rob them and then put bullets in their heads. At least we don’t fill up 80% of the prison system in America. At least Israel, unlike your cousins in Africa, aren’t wielding machetes and chopping up women and children and burning people alive in churches in Kenya. You can thank your Muslim Barack Hussein Obama’s cousin Raila Odinga for that! At least we aren’t spreading AIDS around and then expecting white American taxpayers to clean up after you. At least our culture doesn’t dump our newborns into garbage bins. At least we don’t blame white America for 9/11 like your potato head Muslim’s inspiration Dr. Wright does.
You people are nothing but savages and animals at best.
What happened to you people? You sure don’t own the trademark on suppression. At least my people were able to make something of themselves ON OUR OWN without playing the victim card. I bet your Muslim Obama offers you hope that one day you can get out of your ghetto. Oh wait. If he gets his way on affirmative action and ends up in our white house, he wants to put subsidized housing in every middle class working neighborhood. Bet you didn’t know about that plan did you? Nah. You did. You want to terrorize whitey some more and be given a free ride into our neighborhoods without lifting a finger to EARN IT like the rest of the hard working Americans. Barack Hussein Obama is your black knight of hope, that somehow he is going to save you from something that you have only yourself to blame for where you’re at right now.

Thank you and I hope you're right! One thing that has always concerned me is that America holds itself out to the rest of the world as a great country that the rest of the world should follow.
Don't get me wrong. Yes I am thankful that I live here, but if anything racism and bigotry seem to increase when times get touch. We have been heading towards a recession for the last couple of years and look at the increase in hate crimes.
Yes, SOMETIMES there are some of us African-Americans who go too far, but after 400 years what do you expect (You would be a little p@#$ed too)?
So White America, do not call us cry babies and tell us to "get over it and move on" when you all are the cause of the situation.

How dare you say the pledge of Alligence doesn´t mean anything or reply that America is dead. Have you no shame or just no brains or both. Yes we have problems in America and yes she may be on her knees but she will never fall. There are enough of us to help her stand again and fight for the rights you seem to not care about.I don´t give a dam if obama is muslin or Christian. The man is not experienced enough to lead our land. McCain will keep us in Irak for the next hundred years as he stated. He is to old and to set in his way to change much of anything in our land. Eight years of Republicans is enough for me. Why not give Hiliary a try? She certainly couldn´t do worse than Bush and he was elected twice. Whose fault was that? Think about where we were when Bill left office?

WHITE AMERICA IS JEALOUS OF OUR BLACK SKIN Reverend Gilliam8:58AMFeb 8th 2008
The majority of all white Americans are decendants of white racist terrorist, that held a bible in one hand and a hangman's noose in the other. Not only brutally rapped and murderded innocent African women and children, but they also held public lynchings called pic-a-nic (pick a nigger)in front of their own children, which is your grandparents and great grandparents. Based on the type of cerial killers we have today one can only wonder how some of the African women and children met their fate at the hands of your grandparents ("sick ass people"). They killed almost all of the indiginous people of North America ("American Indian"). The original ("global terroist") is you, not to mention what is still going on in this country today, and around the world. White people have no right to claim any foul play or that Barack Obama is in anyway deceving you people. You are the most caniving devil on the planet, so please stop claiming to be the innocent victims of a charismatic African-American. Even after your grandparents had all the guns and all the bullets they still feared us. This is simply because of all the wrong that they have done, and I hear paranoia in all your comments of Obama and any other African-American that rises to the top. That is the reason I will never claim to believe in anything that you people believe in (Christian) please! Devil worshipping is more like it. Look in the mirror white America .... HEY REVEREND!! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.................WHY DON'T YOU SHUT YOUR IGNORANT RANTING AND BACK AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER. YOU ARE KILLING OBAMAS CHANCES OF ELECTION BY YOU RIDICULOUS RAVES!! WE ARE TRYING TO GET THIS MAN ELECTED, YES, IT WILL TAKE WHITE AMERICA TOO, SO YOU NEED TO SHUT UP ABOUT BLACKS AND WHITES. I'M ABOUT AS WHITE AS YOU CAN GET. PLUS I'M A SUPPORTER OF OBAMA AND JUST HAPPEN TO BE REPUBLICAN. AND YOUR STUPID NOTIONS THAT WE ARE SOME HOW RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAILURES IS RIDICULOUS. IF THIS TURNS INTO A RACE THING, AS YOU BLOGGERS ARE MAKING IT BE, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL WHITE AMERICA WILL VOTE FOR HIM. AND THAT WOULD BE AN INJUSTICE TO AMERICANS EVERYWHERE...PLUS,,,I KNOW REVERENDS AND TRUST ME, YOU ARE NO REVEREND....SO STOP IT!!! YOU'RE HURTING HIS CHANCES

I DO have one thing to say to Jewish Princess.
Let's see what happens the first time a Jewish person tries to run. Betcha every time some is critical of him or her, the JDL, Anti-Defamation League.
You talk about Al-Quaeda NO doubt they are violent and should be dealt with, but you had
Rabbi Meir David Kahane, Michael King, David Sinai, Ohr HaRayon, Hayim Yerushalmi, or whatever the heck his name was and the dad gum JDL running around starting crap before anyone had ever HEARD of Osama. No wonder WTC got blew to bits!!
Folks if you want to research someone look up the history of Meir Kahane and the JDL. Here is just a taste (especially for you idiots and the lie aout Obama and the oath)
In 1984, Kahane was elected as an MK - Member of the Knesset (Israel's Parliament). The Central Elections Committee had banned him from being a candidate on the grounds that Kach was a racist party, but the Israeli High Court determined that the Committee was not authorized to ban Kahane's candidacy. The High Court suggested that the Knesset should pass a law that would authorize the exclusion of racist parties from future elections (the Anti-Racist Law of 1988).
Kahane refused to take the oath of office for the Knesset and insisted that a Biblical verse from Psalms be added to it, to indicate that when the national laws and Torah conflict, Torah (Biblical) law should have supremacy over the laws of the Knesset.

Paul Just checked the page. No matter what we say people are NOT going to believe it. Once upon a time there was a racist myth that black people had tails like monkeys. My late uncle once told me a story
A woman who was following him around. When he finally turned around (after about 10-15 minutes of "stalking") and asked her why she was following him she said that she was trying to figure out where he kept his tail.
Jewish Princess probably still believes it.
My point is the people that believe it ain't gonna change their mind. They'll just say it is more liberal media hype or some crap like that. Or pick on TUCC instead.

reverand gilliam, there seems to be alot of hate in your comment about whites and you call them the devil you are supposed to be reverend, the bible says any man with hate in his heart is no child of god he also scorned the disciples when they spoke negitivlty about the samaritan (a hated people at that time),when cain killed able god punished him and banished him from there territory because of the hate he had for his brother, I am a white male and i will be the first to say that slavery was wrong but we cant dwell on the past its time to move on and vote for a man because he deserves it not because he is black, no one is making this a race issue so why do you, also next time you stand in front of your congregation to preach you may want get your heart right

Purple Reign,
Nigga please. Get your pubic head out of Wikipedia.org
Funny you should bring up Meir Kahane. Why is that? Because the man that killed him is a Muslim? You know all about your fellow Muslim terrorists don't you. The killer El Sayyid Nosair and his sidekick Muslim Shaikh Omar Abdel Rahman were both involved in the bombing at the World Trade Center in 1993.
They both were also convicted of planning to assassinate white politicians. Wait, there's more. El Sayyid Nosair got money from Osama bin Laden to pay for his legal fees. OOPS!
I bet you are a black Muslim and lurve you some Osama. Obama looks like Osama doesn't he.

Nice to meet you.
I still would like to know why you considered my reasoned arguments name-calling but you have no comments for the real name-callers on this blog who delight in F-bombs, N-words and spelling Barack's name "O-s-a-m-a."

Andrew NO ONE IS MAKING THIS A RACE ISSUE? You need to read some of these postings, man (start with that so-called Jewish Princess).
As for the Reverend, I said it before, maybe some of us go too far, but please do not tell us to, "just move on or get over it".
White slave-owners and Southerners in general tried to use the Bible to justify slavery.
There are white hate groups ou there today that continue to try and use the Word of God to incite racial conflict. They are just as bad as this so-called reverend. And he's just as bad as CLDS who until recently said that black were not worthy to belong to their church. Funny no one ever questioned Mitt about that. No wonder the Ariana Huffington Elisabeth Hasselbeck Rush Limbaugh wing of the R party was crying when Mitt the Twit gave up the ghost.
Like I said last night, weren't too many (if any ) Blacks behind him. How many did 'ya see on the platform at his events? I only saw a bunch of guys who looked like Mormon missionaries.
Maybe Alan Keyes, but we don't claim him. He's what we call an Oreo Howling w/laughter + :-).
