Best of the Vent / Atlanta/South Fulton

Approximately 70% of African-American children are born out of wedlock and raised in single-parent households, a sure-fire recipe for poverty. I'm sure this wasn't part of Dr. King's "Dream."

Any stimulus Atlanta gets should be used on infrastructure, not a lame civil rights museum.

It seems that in Atlanta, the number one cause of death of High School students is other High School students.

I will not apologize to the NAACP nor anyone else for something that happened 100 years ago that I had nothing to do with.

Thank you Mr. President for 8 years of sevice to our great nation. May God bless you and First Lady, Laura Bush!

No more whining from blacks about slavery. They picked cotton. I'm Jewish. We spent a thousand years building pyramids. Then we got burned in Germany. We did not waste energy complaining. We educated ourselves instead.

Wanted; Women contestants for the Bishop Weeks find a wife show. Must have own health insurance.

Plaxico? Sounds like a prescription mouthwash.

Attention people, it is not AXK, EXCAPE,or EXSPECIALLY. The letter that you want is S. Learn it, know it, live it.

House arrest for killing 5 people, leaving the scene of the accident and trying to hide the crime ? Justice was not served!

Bishop Weeks is going to star in a reality show looking for a new wife. Ain't that a kick in the head?

Yes, racism is everywhere, but here Blacks can be openly racist against whites with impunity, while continually blaming racism for their own shortcomings.

22 years old, five children, and pregnant, and still living with mama. Water is the least of your problems.

What if I do not choose to have my child learn "black history"? There are a lot more important things they need to be learning. Let's worry more about those first, and maybe Georgia will no longer be last in education.

It's time we ditched "Black History Month." We're all Americans after all.

Why is it that if a group of Whites protest and boycott a black business it is racism, but if Jesse and AL were to do it to a White business, it is "their right to speak out against oppression?"

Why are people (Broun, for one) apologizing for comments made about Obama? No one apologized when they blasted Bush! Don't we have a right to our own opinions? Are we to be expected to walk on egg-shells for the next 4 years?

Cut off welfare to families with thugs.

Exactly WHY should any illegal be entitled to anything? Guess you are one of those 'government babies' that believe everything should be given to you.

Mayor Shirley wants a Federal bailout for Atlanta's financial mismanagement, but there seems to be plenty of money for a Civil Rights museum.

OK, can we be honest and agree that slavery is an old issue and no one currently alive was around when it happened? Those responsible have been gone for generations and I dont think anyone should be required to apologize for things they never did.

Let's hope we have finally heard the last from Joseph Lowery. His racist tones are offensive and forty years behind the times. Let it go.

Just because you want to buy alcohol at the grocery store on Sunday doesn't mean you are going to drink it on Sunday. If you do your grocery shopping on Sunday, do you eat all the food the day you buy it? It's simply a matter of convenience... and a matter of freedom of choice.

Every race has at one time or another been slaves to someone. We all have that in our history so get over it and live for yourself, not 100 years ago.

Other opportunities to take away from illegals: free education, free health care, free translators. Because "free" to them isn't free to us.
