In reply to: Smith: Secession talk is disturbing reaction to election »

November 30, 2012

ummm...the 'white vote' was still 72% of the election.

72% is not a minority. It is not even close to a minority.

That means...and I know this is a tough concept...that means a wholllle lot of white people voted for Obama.

by 'changing demographics', it means you ignore 'other' groups at your own peril. That the GOP only tried to win the election with white males (who by NO coincidence makes up their entire Congressional power slate), shows not racism, but sheer stupidity.

the article is grossly inaccurate and supports the myth that people are upset with Obama's color. It intentionally fans the fuel of what little racism factors into secession talks. Hey, we didn't despise Bush cause he was white. Perhaps some hate radio junkies don't like Obama because of hate radio 24/7 bs.

Nonetheless, even the most rabid know the secession talk is merely symbolic. And in the worst case they can follow their own advice they love to throw out - Delta is ready when you are.

    Pop Addict Book Review: "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It" by Nick Carter

    As a huge Backstreet Boys fan, I was little perplexed on reading Nick Carter?s book.  It?s not like reading a book about Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I didn?t live through those moments. I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more

    Links to Banner-Herald's award-winning sports stories

    The Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta. You can get a few more details on that in this story ? "Banner-Herald sports staff wins 11 awards" ? and I thought I'd provide some links to the winning stories for the curious. The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
