"Denard Hunt, a junior health and wellness major at the University of Central Oklahoma, said he was impressed by the clean environment."

Is this conference typically held at Denny's?

Seriously, putting together a conference is tough work. I've never done it, but I understand it isn't a walk in the park.

" The black community could use more love, history and power, said one scholar on Saturday."

How does one go about finding more history?

"'If we loved ourselves, we wouldn’t call each other dogs and female dogs,' Hill said. 'You must understand that it doesn’t make us racist or radical to love yourself.'"

Listen to rap songs. All those artists do is talk about how great they are. They love themselves. Rap music is very egotistical. There is nothing more I love than stereotyping a people, but what do most black people listen to?

I'm not sure I like speeches that showcase a poor poor us mentality. I don't have the answer, but I don't think saying, "you will face obstacles because whitey will always be there" is the right course of action. It is more or less making excuses. She does say to overcome them, but when anyone goes into a situation believing in a negative outcome, nothing good will happen. Job interviews, getting a loan... if a black person feels they will have to overcome racism more so than a white person, then they themselves are being racist. My opinion, it is better to have a clear mind than a judgemental one.

Calling Paul Clark. Run for it. I bet you can beat this guy with your, "Everybody not name Paul Clark sucks" life reasoning.

Well it appears you have many options.

Still no mention of political side. But the worst part is the pointless reminder to not drink and drive. As most things are in this universe the choice to drink and drive is rarely influenced by a newspaper, cartoon, or billboard add.

I have a great friend that drinks and drives like it is his job. If you try your hardest to get the keys from him, he will fight you. It is as if it is in his blood to drive while intoxicated. The people who chose to not drink and drive, the ones who seek D.D.s, are the same people who do it every time. They either made the mistake once, or don't feel like making the mistake ever. People like my friend will continue to make the mistake. Either you understand the seriousness of drunk driving, or you don't. I feel it is that simple.

Not to attack the message of the article or anything.

Jon, you should join the future that is otherwise known as Big Footrica. The true stories of The One will soon be posted here. He said something about cryptids, and that was why I posted this.

I believe the tingling sensation came from what is known as THC. Perhaps weed pollen was present in the air.


No need to comment on the opinion pieces today. I think Paul does a better job anyways, but he only does it when someone pisses on the Great Plains I guess.
