that is SO sad.
change ain’t never gonna happen with the way this is going on.

PEOPLE NEED TO GET OF THAT RACIST S**T AND REALIZE HE IS OUR PRESIDENT…DEAL WITH IT

I THINK THAT THE PARENTS OF THESE CHILIDREN SHOULD BE AWARDED 100 MILLION DOLLARS A PIECE FOR TIME AND SUFFERING FOR THEIR CHILDREN BEING KICKED OFF THE BUS! THESE YOUNG PEOPLE DID NOTHING WRONG AND COMMITTED NO CRIME THAT IS CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND IT IS PART OF THE CONSITUTION RIGHTS! THESE BUS DRIVER SHOULD BE MADE AND EXAMPLE ON A POSTER THAT A MIND IS A TERRIBLW THING TO WASTE WHEN IT COMES TO A PERSONS RIGHT AND FREEDOM OF WORDS!

There has to be more to this story than some kids saying that Obama is the president.

Obama is considered to be the Nelson Mandela of the U.S.A. BUT we already had a Black president in the days of the Artiles of Confederation, in the 17th century – John Hanson. Then we had 2 other presidents who acted Black enough to be considered Black, namely John F Kennedy, and Bill Clinton ! GET DA PHUCK OVER IT, AMERICA ! DEAL WITH IT !

Lol this is ridiculous…..whats next gettin kicked off for sayin im black and proud?

isin’t that our president let that woulda been my bus driver i woulda had some words for him/her

I knew it wouldn’t be long before this stupidity happened. HE IS OUR BLACK PRESIDENT!!! AND HE’S GREAT!!!Get over it! Go Obama! I wonder whats next?

See this is evidence that racist still exist to this day and that white people are never happy by a black person’s accomplishments OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA is my president.

You know its really sad that Americans cant come together and strive to continue being the country we are. What has all this done so far? Not a dang thing! He will still be President whether they like it or not. Trying to punish our children for being involved in history is just ridiculous. Just remember “he that was last, will some day be first” is coming to pass. Let it go and be proud!!

When will it stop. Damn!!!! and they say black people look bad. Clear example right here

Wow that’s ashame they need to get over it he will be in the White House for 4 years now what!!!!!!!!!

I think it is so sad that some people cant let go of the pass, and move forward. Our country has come so far in the area of racism but apparently some people didnt get the memo after Dr. King, Rosa Parks,Thurgood Marshall, Fredrick Douglas etc… This is America’s greatest accomplishment to have a BLACK PRESIDENT especially when more than just black people voted for him. Everyone that is pissed off about should just be quiet and pout cause President Barack Obama is here for 4 years possibly 8 if he chooses.

YOU HAVE TO REALLY HATE YOURSELF TO HATE A PERSON FOR THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN….YOU HAVE TO BE REAL NUT TO THINK THAT YOU ARE BETTER THAN SOMEONE ELSE TOO…WE ARE ALL HUMANS,LETS GET PAST THE DUMB STUFF AND HAVE A POSITIVE MIND IN 2009……

DON’T WORRY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY ARE THINK BECAUSE WHATEVER THEY DO WILL COME BACK ON THEM 10 FOLDS.

Hate it or love it, he is still your President. I’m like Jeezy, “My President is Black”. They are so sick. I know they hate it. LMAO! It kinda gets to me sometimes, but i’m not gonna worry. God’s will was done when he got elected. I was driving home to Louisiana from Atlanta this weekend and saw a guy with that lil cartoon picture of the boy peeing. He was peeing on the words OBAMA! I got pissed. But, it’s not worth it. Some people will never change. OH WELL…..OBAMA 08 BABY! HA HA HATERS!! Say what you want, but you couldn’t stop him from making history and you wont stop him from going to the White House! Batches! :)

I agree with everybody here. Haters should get over it. Just look at the chronology that Obama went through….
* Every politician tried to s**t on him, including the Clintons.
* Even Jesse Jackson tried to s**t on him.
* He bypassed death threats and hate literature.

He is a survivor with confidence like most of our black Americans which is why I sigh relief in finally someone in the office that I can relate to. This change is so refreshing, most stubborn/racist people can’t stand it…..

Oh well….

Apparently, a lot of white America rallied for change as well. I wish that only these racists individuals would put the same amount of energy into stabilizing our country and integrity.

Obama..know that you are loved and appreciated.

It’s a blessing to be alive to digest this history.

smh…it starts

I am so tired of this foolishness! I am about to go GHETTO! The damn man won folk’s get over it. There is a new day and it has approached. All people that that didn’t want to see it either HELLO IT HAPPENED! GET OVER IT! If you don’t like the fact that the 44th chief is an ethnic man, PACK YO ASS & FAMILY UP AND LEAVE THERE ARE OTHER PLACES THAT WILL NOT TREAT YALL BETTER AND WILL EVEN TREAT YALL WORST BUT GET THE HELL ON! This s**t is becoming a pain with everything going on in the world an African/Caucasian American as chief is a long over due step. Again to all that do not accept the fact that Obama is the man who will run this country for the next 4 years, GET THAT F**K OUT!

well we can where the shirt to work and i work for the state but the state it is ok but the ellisville state school have a big problem with it n i hate to be rule with it but we been have a white man us what to do so it is about time for a black one im not racer bhut it is the truful

I am just amazed at the ignorance that is still present in this day and age.
I can not believe that a TEACHER would tell a student that they would be disciplined … do they not realize that there is no getting around learning about the PRESIDENT? His picture will soon be up in the hallways, won’t it? (I am Canadian, so maybe I am wrong) What will that teacher do then?
It just amazes me, maybe I am the naive one .. but if being naive makes me accepting of all people, then I would rather be naive

that recommendation was for these comments because I am also sick of this controversy.

This is truely a shame.I believed that we hit a milestone I never thought we would accomplish. I believe that those individuals who punished those students should be fired!!!!!!!!!!!

All I got to say is that GOD don’t like UGLY!!!

This shows us as people of all colors how we have yet to recieve the context of President Obama’s message “It’s time for a change”. This particular thing has been going on for years but now it matters most because we have a black president and the level of racism has zoom to it’s all time high. It is what that is in you that will make a difference in this world we live in. With the message our president comes forth bearing if the people will recieve then this world be a much better place.

Where are Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton?? lol. This just goes to show what type of world we live in. I love our new president-elect, but hatred or intolerance of another race is still alive and well. The school should be ashamed of itself for the statement it issued. Those school officials should fire those people, but we all know they’ll get a slap on th wrist. This is an abuse of power. What are they teaching the children?? That if you are in a leadership position you can abuse authority and manipulate and bribe people into doing what you ask them to do?? In the business world, this type of act could land you in jail!! Lets deal with this accordingly because it was and is unacceptable. FIRE those people so that the example can be set, that this type of behavior is unacceptable in society and in life in general. P.C. My president is Barack Obama and I DARE you to throw me off a bus!!

Thats a bunch of bs, thats wrong. what if something had happen to those kids. They could have been kidnapped or killed or something. The driver should get fired.

LMAO~What is really funny about this is the fact that folks are showing their ignorance and are not even aware or caring. When folks talk about that wild man and his regime that are currently in office it’s because he has shown and proven himself to be a dumbass. Pres. Elect Obama has only shown his smarts and savvyness all through his campaigin, and now as he gathers his cabinet. So why are they not wanting to her his name? What policies has he made that one can disagree with? What consipracy is he and hi family embroiled in? How bloody are his hands from lives being sacrfaiced for a nonsense war? Like the baby said ” This is history lady” push on and get over it. Don’t like it leave America!!! lol USA!USA!USA!

You have got to be kidding me. To throw some school kids off of a bus just for saying Barack Obama name. Just for saying the TRUTH.I hate to see anyone lose their jobs..espcially with the economy the wy it is, but the bus driver and the coach and whoever issued that LAME ASS apolgy should be fired. When the the RACISM and STUPIDITY end. What next? Sasha and Malaya get thrown out os school for saying that their father is the President?

We are all the same human beings stop looking at color,sex,age to discriminate. God loves all equally and on judgement day that is who everyone will answer to.

Oh my God you can’t be serious I dont see a reasion for so many people to so discrimitive
agenst Obama esspeicaly to the point where you kick a child off a bus for saying Obama’s name I mean minoritys were not the only one’s voteing for Obama but many whit’s as well.

The election was not won based on the color of Obama’s or Mc Cain’s skin but more on the fact that the people wanted change after these past 8 years I mean Bush really ran this country in to the ground and besides the point if the out come was the oppisite and Mc Cain had won and the bus driver had a child the was on the bus of a black drive and he or she would had say Mc Cain’s name and got put off the buss I’m pretty shure they would have gotten upset and demanded the buss driver get fired so I thank it’s only right to fire the driver for not only being a raceal but also not thanking before acted.

Only in the South! Somethin like this WOULD happen in Mississippi…goodness I don’t know why anybody with any sense even still lives in that part of the country. Here we are in 2008 and it’s like it’s still 1955 down there. That bus driver and that coach would have been fired the SAME day if that had happened in California or any other non-Southern state. What the heck does the school district need to investigate?!?! Fire them and send out a warning that if any other employees want to act hateful they might as well just start polishing up their (probably weak) resumes!!

FOR YA INFO I LIVE IN MS! MABEY THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPIER IF THE KID WOULDVE SAID SUMTHIN BOUT HITLER OR W BUSH!

EVERYONE NEEDS TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT AND HIS NAME IS OBAMA AND NO 1 IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT PERIOD POINT BLANK.

I think that it can happen anywhere in America not only in the south. It is just heightened in the South

Sad part about this is that this will not be the only time something like this happends, we have alot more years to go through this non-sence.

I think that was a disgrace. The fact that we try to teach our children (all children) not to hate and love all then something like this happens. I have family that live in Crenshaw, Ms. and it that way also with some of the whites. When will we get over this haterd and learn to love. when we die God is not going to have special places for the different races we will all go to the same place and have no choice but to live together and love so why not start here. We have a black president, something different in history and instead of worring about him we need to focus on other thing more inportant. Like bringing soliders home from a country that no matter how much we fight or how many soliders we send it will not stop the problem.So let us focus on something that really needs attention and learn how to LOVE EACH OTHER. The parents are mad I know of these two children but they need to explain to them that this world has not grown to love yet, it probably wont be the last of these kind of things in their life, but to forgive (like God would want us to do) and remember it’snot our battle. Everything people do negative it will come back on them harder by GOD.

Unfortunately ignorance is on the rise…people are letting their anger consume them,things have to get better because if it doesn’t there will be a war within our own country.

People is just acting a donkey cause Obama is black and he’s going to be leading this nation after January 20th. And he is mixed so y the f**k don’t white ppl acknowledge that. I mean technically Obama represents both races so ppl should be glad to have somebody who can understand being on both side of these dualing ethnicities. Personally i say if you can’t accept that fact that the Obama got black in him then take yo a** to another country.

This is a shame. I’m so terrified to see how people are going to react when we actually takes office. Sad Sad Sad…

I’m getting tired of this s**t to. When Bush was president we could say it all day long, now that OBAMA is president it’s a problem discussing it. I remember at work our boss didn’t want us to talk about the presidental election before Obama got elected and I kept on. This is a country with freedom of speech and i’ll be damned if I bite my tongue. It shouldn’t even be a race thing because he is half white and black… I guess it’s just the fact to some people that he has some black in him and more black than white. I wouldn’t had made it back in slavery days… as soon as I was abled to talk they would have hung me.

God knew what he was doing when he sent Katrina down here, as aweful as it sounds, the racism is disguisting here … I would have never thought racism was this real unless I had been here to see it with my own eyes.. black people have to stand up for themselves… but more, we have to support each other…
