JACKSON, Miss. — A protest at the University of Mississippi against the re-election of President Barack Obama grew into crowd of about 400 people with shouted racial slurs as rumors of a riot spread on social media. Two people were arrested on minor charges. The university said in a statement Wednesday that the gathering at the student union began late Tuesday night with about 30 to 40 students, but grew within 20 minutes as word spread. Some students chanted political slogans while others used derogatory racial statements and profanity, the statement said.

Eight Obama voters almost kill an innocent white man in downtown Baltimore in broad daylight. No WaPo story--no apology from anybody.

There is racism alright--and it is black racism.

And racism is wrong and sick--and I am sick of the racist Left and the liberal elite snob scum.

The election of the Great Post-Racial Uniter in 2008 would eliminate the race divisions in the country once and for all, or so we were told. By that measure, the re-election of the GR-PU, given his unifying and race-neutral message of the last four years, should have us in a race war by August at the latest.

Reading this kind of thing used to make me cringe with embarrassment. Now, I couldn't care less. It just makes me laugh. So go ahead and toss around the "N word" and hang Obama in effigy. As long as nobody gets hurt, it makes everyone feel better - the students vent some, and the Blacks get to wallow in their beloved resentment.

Now about the latest Black on White beatdown, I'm not amused in the slightest.

I think its high time to consider splitting up this country into two halves -- red and blue. I don't see the point in trying to all live under one roof any more. Wouldn't both sides be happier?

[I do realize that the blue states would collapse under the weight of their socialism and they would all be invading the red states for the sake of freedom, but that would be fine with me as long as we have rock solid constitution preventing wealth redistribution.]

I have seen, and been the target, of many instances of black racism against whites. Just like all white people are not racist, not all black people are either. But some are--they hate whites because they are white.

For those calling for a split in the country, stand fast.

You are correct those Blue areas would be crushed under their own Socialism, but who do you think they would turn to for help? Red states? Nope.

They would reach out to China. Or Russia. Or any other Socialist state. In effect, they would be overtaken. And then, instead of two oceans separating us from our adversaries, they would be literally at our doorstep.

No. The answer, I believe, is for individual states to stand against Federal tyranny and say, 'No thanks. We're not playing.' Refuse to play. Stand your ground and refuse to play.

These ''riots'' sound about 1/1000th as bad as the average celebration looting and destruction in cities like LA or Detroit when their NBA team wins a championship.

If these ''riots'' were all black students and pro-NØbama, they could loot and destroy cars and beat up white people and call cops every racist and evil name in the book, and it would be defended by every lie-beral out there as ''freedom of speech'' and ''freedom of assembly''.

But a few anglo students get together and blow off some frustration by yelling and speawing a few bad words, and this is just just horrible and should be illegal (since they are obviously ''hate crimes'') in the minds of lie-berals.

I agree that black racism is far worse and more rampant than anything coming from whites, but that does NOT excuse the ignorant and stupid use of racial slurs by whites either. Didn't your mother teach you that two wrongs don't make a right??? Sorry, but it IS embarrassing and just plain wrong to turn this into a racial issue. And anybody who claims to be a conservative or a Republican that thinks it is ok & goes along with this should be ashamed of themselves. Race, skin color, physical characteristics, & other similar things do NOT define a person. I can't believe people are willing to let the leftist manipulators win by dividing us & making us hate each other based on totally irrelevant things like melanin. You are allowing the left to control you and devolve into tribalism just as they want you to. That is NOT what our Founders believed in. That is NOT a civilized society. It is NOT alright to lower oneself to the lowest common denominator, no matter how hurt, frustrated, or angry you are.

If this was a group of black panthers screaming that they want to kill all white people, which they do regularly, nothing would be said. Rap music use such terms all of the time. Street thugs and gang members use such terms everday. When is is going to be unacceptable for them to speak in such terms. I thought we were all equal and had freedom to express ourselves. I am not in favor of insulting anyone, however I don't like it when I am being told what I can and cannot say. As some posters have said, it doesn't bring us together.

Yesterday there were three demonstrations in Puyallup WA with huge signs wanting Obama impeached. There were no racial slurs and we have the videos.

Race stuff was started by Obama. So what. it can go both ways.

The countries is finished. Let the riots begin so we can get on with the internal war that is upon us.

Sad thing is that the local police will be the first to get it. So what.

WASHINGTON — President Obama went out for a round of golf Saturday afternoon, his second weekend in a row to hit the links at a course at Joint Base Andrews. The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush. Last Saturday, the president played golf at the same course with Nicholson, Brush, and friend and Chicago businessman Marty Nesbitt. The outing marked his first time on the golf course since the sequester cuts went into place on March 1. The president also took in the Syracuse-Marquette NCAA tournament basketball game

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s. Such sobering tales of teens snookering mom and dad caused mixed emotions in me — a solidly pro-choice

A few years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Lindalyn Adams was escorting visitors on a bus traveling down Elm Street near Dealey Plaza. “I was pointing out the John Neely Bryan cabin and the Old Red Courthouse, and suddenly I realized the whole bus was leaning towards the right as we were going close to the Texas School Book Depository, and the women [were] pointing and saying, “Is that? Is that? Is that?’” Adams recalled during an oral history interview. She knew, of course, what “that” meant. “That” was where Kennedy had been shot.

The blockbuster brood of the periodical cicada, large insects that emerge en masse from the ground in 17-year intervals across the northeast, is on its way — and New York City’s largest public radio station is encouraging residents in Central Jersey and beyond to help track the invasion. “The whole idea came from our news director, Jim (Schachter, of Summit), who lives in New Jersey — he promised his wife that they would move from their home before the 17-year cicadas came back,”

The Keystone XL Pipeline has emerged as a major issue in the Massachusetts special U.S. Senate election, with environmental groups committing nearly one-third of the $1.25 million in outside money already spent on campaigns. The biggest spender so far is the League of Conservation Voters, which has already spent more than $545,000 to help elect Democratic candidate and Rep. Ed Markey, who has a strong pro-environment platform. “Our field campaign is resonating with voters across Massachusetts,” said Navin Nayak, a political specialist for the group. “The people of Massachusetts want climate change champion Ed Markey representing them.”

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
