Let's see, Lu-ser...

In less than a week, you've posted jokes that:

1. make fun of people of color


Actually, he did not make fun of people of color, you interpreted his
joke to be making fun of people of color. Your interpretation of his
joke was demeaning to blacks. You should be ashamed.

I do think you highlight Prince George County as an example of
Maryland's acceptance of people of color, when in reality it black
enclave, deserted by Maryland's whites when the blacks moved out of
Washington DC. It does explain why the KKK is still strong in
Maryland. The one thing that is certain, is PG county should not be
held up as an example of racial equality and racial utopia. It is a
example of block busting and white flight.

Desegregation - ".....it was not until 1973, nearly 20 years after
Brown, that the county finally implemented a desegregation plan
comprehensive enough to please the federal courts and the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare. School integration in Prince George's
County was complicated by covert racist attitudes, by segregated housing
patterns, and by the "white flight" phenomenon of whites fleeing
predominately black areas in and around cities for predominately white
areas deeper in the suburbs." This is the kind of community Harry
holds up as an example of Maryland's racial harmony. It probably
explains why Harry did his own "white flight" to the land of rednecks
and gun shooting idiots who view a weekend of stump shooting to be a
great activity for all.


Crime
For 2005, the county had 164 homicides. For the year of 2006, the county
experienced 134 homicides. Prince George’s County has accounted for 20%
of murders in the state of Maryland since 1985.[10] A twenty year crime
index trends study performed by Prince George's County Police Department
Information Resource Management, shows the county had a 23.1% increase
in total crime for the years of 2000 to 2004. Between the years of 1984
to 2004, Prince George’s has had a 62.8% increase in total crime.[11]
