He wasn't deemed charismatic until after the assassination. But a perfect analogy one might suppose.

But Oliver Stone and Oswald will both sit on the grassy hill.

Yes. It's gross.

You'd be looking over your shoulder at every shadow too.

Blacks paranoid about whites? I hope this doesn't cut too hard, but I find this ironic.

The point is we can all become conspiracy theorists when desperate, beat down, and oppressed.

Even more, blacks have documented history upon which they can draw to feed their paranoia.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

Freakin A, when I walk to my car in a parking garage, women make furtive glances and rush to their cars. Imagine if I was black.

Whites too, have a fear of black men.

The media would have you believe everybody found him to be so, but he barely won election thanks to Daly steeling the election in Chicago. Or so that's how my parents told it to me.
