Muzzled on the Projo Web Site ?

I have posted very many messages at " Your Two Cents " - a service of the Providence Journal Web Site. Not being an obsessive type, I comment freely on many issues - often from a liberal point of view. The newspaper is -within the usual limits - a friend of free speech, a friend of THE TRUTH .

Yesterday I wanted to put my two cents in on the Bill Gates Billion dollar scholarship fund - which I consider invidious as it excludes poor white kids, now a forgotten minority.


I said that future educational opportunities would be decided by DNA - not SAT . How would they decide who is black enough or red enough or latino enough to qualify for Bill Gates's mischievous largesse, I wondered .


I said that the silence of the press on the right-mindedness of this billion dollar scholarship was deafening.

Well, guess what ? My post did not last one hour on " Your Two Cents". It mysteriously disappeared before anybody had a chance to comment on it.


Although it was titled " The New Niggers " ( quotation marks included ), it was no more racist than Mark Twain's Huck Finn. Indeed it was an argument against racism - the preferential treatment of vociferous minorities.


I noted that Al Gore said that the next ten years would be the " decade of the Latino ".


My post was removed by a person at the Projo with an Hispanic name ( Panciera ? ) .


Personal arrogance here or orders from Bill Gates ? I will send a copy of my post to anybody interested in judging for himself its malevolence . I must ask if the N- word is to be banned in every context in which it appears .


"The new niggers" is what poor white kids are now calling themselves. Blacks are still free to say the most vile things about us white trash .


And they applauded - with the black power salute - when that murderous maniac, O.J. Simpson, was freed.

In my post I said : " Let's see who speaks for justice now " .

Please put me in my place, dear editors .
