This is a collection of facebook comments. Some of them were posted. Some were not. Pictures are from “The Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library”. ~ The 2010 California rebellion could not have taken place in a state covered by the Voting Rights Act. ~ When I first saw that, I thought you said Impeach Nancy Reagan. ~ Georgia has open primaries. You can vote in the one you want to. In the runoff, you must vote in the same party party ballot that you chose in the first election. In 1966, Republicans helped Lester Maddox get the Democratic nomination for Governor. The same party rule was enacted after that election. ~ There is usually more action in the Republican primary. ~ In 2006, Ralph Reed was running for Lt. Governor. I thought he needed to spend more time with his family, and voted in the Republican primary. This was the year when Hank Johnson ran against Cynthia McKinney. As much as I wanted to help Mr. Johnson in the runoff, I had voted in the Republican primary, and could not participate in the Democrat runoff. ~ You might also want to follow:@LAYS The perfectly crispy chip that has been America’s favorite snack for 75 years. ~ Don’t watch this on your smart phone while driving ~ In what missions did U last serve? ~ Is that a threat, or an existential threat? ~ I’m going to pray for you ~ Defriending someone. It is not a word or phrase, but an action. It is almost always done without any interaction with the person being defriended. ~ a muse or a mess? ~ a smear campaign might be fun, but would also make you look bad ~ Didn’t you try that with a hammer one time? ~ Patsy Cline is the music for a pretzel commercial. That is wrong. ~ that’s mister dammit show some respect for your elders ~ Did she kill her ski instructor? ~ why are globes always displayed with the northern hemisphere on top? if you are in space you are just as likely to see it with the south on top. ~ I haven’t seen a seven digit phone number in quite a while ~ And we are better? Our government, which we support with our taxes, is murdering these people with high tech weapons ~ There are 2,830,000,000 results for “are you the same in real life as you are on facebook” ~ Only if Rudolph is the daddy. ~ I have never figured out when you cease being the child of people and your own person. Some people never do. Everyone has their own way of dealing with this. I only know the path I have taken, and continue to take. It is fun to read about others. ~ Maybe you should put them in the trash. Our sewers are overworked as it is. The thought is cool, but the application is flawed. ~ has anyone clicked on the headphones expecting a video to start? ~ I hope those bedsheets are bulletproof. ~ This sounds like some of these self loathing white liberals who carry on about racism. ~ Leon Russell was the arranger. ~ One nit picky point. The first name of Mr. Gandhi was Mohandas. Mahatma is a title for Indian royalty. The use of this title to describe Mr. Gandhi is not appropriate. ~ I don’t know anything about working with wikipedia. I suspect that it might be more trouble than I care to deal with. I find it ironic that you list Mother Theresa one notch above Christopher Hitchens. ~ Band I was given: The White Stripes Do I like them: no Seen them?: no Favorite song: Jolene I had never heard of the White Stripes before receiving this challenge. I found a you tube video of a live performance. I did not enjoy it. After fifty minutes, I turned it off, and put Joni Mitchell on. ~ Many Atlanta neighborhoods are full of trees. Just find a place with little traffic near your residence, and go. When biking in Brookhaven I often feel like I am living in a resort. If you can drive for a few minutes, the Chattahoochee river is lined with fabulous parks. ~ This is disgusting. To say that the qualification for queerness is to buy a t shirt. ~ Those drawings did not include a parking lot. ~ Do you ride the artist and martyr bus? ~ A tree cannot say what a forest looks like. Of course, if the forest is empty, the talking tree would not make a sound. If a tree falls in an empty forest, does the chainsaw make a sound? ~ He probably does not snore ~ What is it about white privilege that makes people write so badly? The piece Mouse linked to is horrible. This is true of most posts about race and privilege that I see. If you want to educate the public, you should first educate yourself about how to write. ~ The second to the right is probably very popular ~ Comodify is a great word. Pronounce one way and you turn something into a commodity. Pronounce the second vowel another way, and you convert the subject into a commode. ~ @BretEastonEllis Listen to #kaynewest talk wonder how much I want to hear 13 minutes in he says occupation is creative genius ~ wouldn’t that be the labor department? ~ Firefox has issues. I installed a new version the other day. It was loaded with flaky extras, which are basically glorified viruses. If you are not very careful with your installation you will get one in your system. No matter how many times you delete it, it keeps coming back. Firefox used to be a great program, but it has gone over to the dark side. ~ The area around the new braves stadium is in transition. There was a proposal recently to buy out and tear down a bunch of apartments on nearby Franklin Road. If the Braves think they are getting away from black people, they need to take a closer look at their new home neighborhood. ~ Are you sure it was not his face? ~ Cher had her first hit song in 1965. And she looks much better than these “newcomers.” ~ The first time I heard of Kayne was when he pulled his stunt at an awards show. I have heard little of his all caps music. Recently, I listened to the first thirteen minutes of a podcast with Kanye. He said he lists his occupation as being a creative genius. I stopped listening. ~ what if plymouth rock had landed on the mayflower? ~ another bit of caucasian semantics bites the dust ~ is the water safe to drink? does the ninth most dangerous business apply there too? ~ most internet tests have multiple choice answers, where you frequently choose the least bad answer. happy gobble day ~ Many Christians like to be forgiven much more than they like to forgive. ~ Thank you for reminding me about this. My favorite was #27 alligator. ~ This is going to be a classic. Three hours of the band tuning up between songs. ~ Why do you say it is a Hungarian stew? That is ghoulish, not ghoulash. ~ I wonder how many of the people mourning Nelson Mandela own diamonds. They come from South Africa. The mine owners were a part of apartheid. ~ The Domesticities would be a good name for a horror movie or web hosting service. ~ There are similarities between all three. ~ If you want to borrow some text, the King James version is public domain ~ With all due respect to Mr. Mandela, I have always wondered how he became the only anti apartheid leader that seemed to matter in the west. I am sure that he had rivals in that movement who did not appreciate him. ~ Who ran the movement when Mr. Mandela was in prison? ~ saturday haiku ~ feline canine ursuline ~ animal pundit ~ I had a customer once on the second floor. The building had no elevator. Their jobs usually involved a dozen or so heavy boxes. It was a few steps from the parking spot to the stairs, and a few steps from there to the office. In other words, a hand truck was useless. I would lug the boxes up to the office, they would find a mistake in the job, and I would have to go back and get the job when it was returned. One day, in front of a Catholic church, one of the box tops fell off, and hundreds of pages from a job went all over the road. The company eventually went out of business. They owed my employers a great deal of money when this happened. ~ How about our weather for their money? ~ Do you have a link? Or was this a rhetorical question? If the former, I would like to see it. I can take it, and write some text to go between the pictures. If the latter, I can click “like” and be done with it. If this test is about racial attitudes, and points out possible racists for community opprobrium, the I am not sure what course of action I want to take. ~ I would have respected @fieldnegro more if he ignored #megynkelly ~ This article is pathetic, so unprofessional, looks like it was written by a madonna fan or something. ~ Selah
