Jackie Robinson. Idiot. This conversation is over. You are obviously an not a Real American and you care more about Israel. Case Closed

No Real American would have a problem saying his true allegiance will always be to America.

People like you are sad. You go wrapping yourself up in my flag and you are not even an American.

Ummm ... i know you think "they" all look alike ...

... but the gentleman in the photo is Roy Campanella.

It's obvious from the number on his uniform ... "39". As everyone knows ... ooops, almost everyone ... Jackie Robinson's number was "42".

Hasn't this been enough embarrassment and humiliation ... even for you ... for one day?

They meaning black people? That is a statement a Jewish guy would make. Jewish people are some of the most racist people on the planet.

Just to let you know, I have some black, puerto rican, and even Jewish blood in me. So stop it with you ridiculous comments.

Hey Bold, I stumbled on something you might be interested in! I just noticed they're having night classes at the local college about the Congo for those "uninformed" Americans.

Perhaps after that, you could give me some dance lessons. You seem especially apt at dancing around an issue.

The whole Congo situation makes me sick. Around 4 million people dead, and no meaningful action from any of the global powers. Even from a self-interest perspective, you'd think we'd care because further instability in Africa could create more of those Terrorists we're so frantic about...look at what's happening in Somalia, where the next potential group of extremists is rising to power. Not good, man. But Africa's always been on the world's backburner, except when it has something "worth" exploiting, be that oil, diamonds or people. I am not saying there's an easy solution -- anything but, considering how deep and entangled the roots of Africa's woes are -- however, the problems will only get worse if the next generation of children is decimated by this war and ensuing famines & disease.

Anyone here read "King Leopold's Ghost"? It's a good look at the holocaust perpetuated by colonialists in the Congo. Well-researched, good read (more a haunting read, but still good, if you know what I mean). The second half introduced me to it after he came back from a trip to Cape Town that really opened his eyes.

LOL. I think there are a couple of more on here that could sit right next to brooklynite fool in class. Im sure he thanks you for the heads up.

Dance teacher....now there is a thought. I think this one has found your calling brooklynite fool.

Africa is to blame for a lot of its own problems too. It clearly has been exploited by the world powers but the people there have to have some accountability. Their leaders often invited the exploitation of their people.

Not disagreeing with you on that at all. Just saying that if 4 million people were dying in a developed part of the world, we'd (as in, the rest of the developed world) probably take notice.

Absolutely. But you can't blame everything on Republicans. What Bill Clinton allowed to happen in Rwanda was unforgivable. Worst thing our government has allowed to happen in a long time.

This is getting worse than Emile Girffith vs. Benny Paret.

You can't answer two simple questions with a simple answer, which means I know the answer. You are not an American and you have no problem with people spying on America for Israel.

The sad part is that you tried to portray yourself as the patriotic American and you are anything but that.

Nice job shooting UN people today. Brilliant.

Great another guy, who I suspect has an allegiance to Israel over America. How about you?

Can you state that your allegiance is to America first?

I know that, I was just trying to get a response from BB. I honestly don't have a problem with him liking Israel more than America, I just don't like someone with that view challenging Americans and basically pulling the "with us or against us" crap. Hard to get away with saying that when your first allegiance isn't even to America.

Man you are old. So you are Emile Griffith. So you love Israel first and you prefer men to women. Interesting. I have no problem with that but doesn't the Old Testament have a problem with that.
