Don,
On the theory that you probably shouldn’t do anything on the spur of the moment that you might later regret, I’d do this… Ignore the idiots, until you get over being pissed off.
A lot of folks enjoy your blog. By blog standards it’s highly successful — far more so than mine, for example. Don’t throw away all that work (and your faithful readers) by doing something because you’re annoyed at a bunch of redneck a**holes. They will always be with us. Just ignore them and change the posting requirements if you want to keep the comments down.
=================================
Shut it down. That’s my advice.
===============================
No good N——- loving S.O.B. rot in hell.
===============================
Don’t stop, it is a wonderful site.
===============================
I cannot load Baracks house, bring it back!
=================================
Just wondering why “Baracks House” was removed….Did it offend someone or what…I thought it was pretty cool and would like to know how to get a copy of it…I am willing to pay for it……!!!!
===============================
Good morning, Don,
I am so sorry you have been called racist by some visitors to your site. I am appalled at the behavior of some. It seems some people feel they can say anything when they can hide behind a computer keyboard. I so enjoy reading your posts. I find them to be articulate, intelligent, and thoughtful. Please don’t stop.
A fan,Judy
===============================
what is the web site for barack house ?? thanks
===============================
Wow! You are going to wipe it all out?
===============================
I missed that dog fight, I guess. I stopped blog-surfing for a while as a mental health exercise. Rednecks, schmednecks. A jacka** is a jacka**.
===============================
Take a day off and kick back. Think about other things.
===============================
You have a great site going. I know it’s hard to not let it eat you up sometimes, but you just have to chill now and then. Illegitimi non carborundum!
=================================
Hi.
I know you said “leave me alone”, but I thought Barack’s House was soooo funny. Please send it to my e-mail address if you will.
Thanks!
===============================
God is your ever present help mate in time of strife ………
===============================
Why don’t you just quit. Leave things they way they is, we don’t need your —-

I have tried to view this website from several links, but have been unsuccessfuul. As a music teacher, I woud haved loved to have the creatively funny video that my friend also found amusing. I apologize for those people who have a different sence of humor than you and I do, but I must comment on one thing. While it is true that some African-Americans have used their race as an excuse not to attempt to succeed, others have not. There are two main factors that influence a person’s success, their environment and their personality. Therefore, hopelessness breeds hopelessness, accomplishment breeds accomplishment. Caregivers that tell their children that they can achieve anything that they want and help them find the tools to do it and refuse to accept less than their child’s best, will have successful children. Children who are emersed in an environment that does the opposite will continue to perpetuate failure.
Some can pull themselves up by their own boots, but others are
greatly influenced by their environment. AS Christians, it is our responsibility to help them create a secure future. And to show that what is possible for them too!
At the same time, I don’t think that some of the citizens of this country realize the impact that the history of race relations has had in this country. From the beginning, whites were trained to hate Africans. Of all of the races in the country, which one is at the bottom of the totem poll in everything (except entertainment!) The highest drop-out rate, greatest percentage in jail, etc. It will take years to fix what has been broken. I am sorry that our generation has to be affected by what happened century’s ago, but it is what is it. I’m sure you know the story about David. He was a man after God’s own heart, but his children’s children had to pay for his mistakes. But as you stated in your letter, we have to be committed to change. That’s why God selected Barack, to show all of us what is possible!
===============================
Put it back, who gave yu the right to pull it down, we has free speech in this country, you know. Put it back.
Hello,
My name is [.....] from Hattiesburg, MS. I wanted to share this video my aunt from San Antonio TX has put together. I believe it’s worth watching. I know you’ll be emotionally touched. I’d also like to send one she did with me singing on as the video played. I believe her work is worth someone seeing and appreciating. I hope you will enjoy.
==========================================
I spent the whole morning (after Church) on your website and didn’t find ONE single thought I didn’t agree with (NOT ONE). I read Barack’s House a couple of days ago and found it interesting, filled with things I didn’t know, and not the least bit racist. I’ve read as much as I can today on your site about your beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and ideas, and I can’t, for the life of me, figure out what happened…
I said in my posts that you have the right to say or do anything you want at any time you want on your blog. I said you are the owner, writer, author, whatever of Creative Endeavors and that I was WRONG to question you about your visitors…I said I was DEEPLY wrong. I apologized (I thought). I NEVER EVEN VISITED ANYTHING on your site until today except Barack’s House (& Eight Months) and I don’t believe I commented on Barack (I think I was on Eight Months when I commented).
Now, I know I don’t matter to you (and I can’t for the life of me figure out why you matter to me), but I feel very bad about whatever it was I did to upset you.
So I say to you (and this really is the end of it) that I’m sorry for whatever I did that got you so angry at me. Lord knows I didn’t mean to hurt a man who’s trying so hard to help people to understand that life doesn’t have to contain so much nastiness. After my visit today I really do know that you aren’t one whit different than me or from the very first time I came here…so, please accept my deepest sorrow at having offended you!
And while I was in Church this morning, I said a prayer for you…
WE NEED BARACKS HOUSE
===============================
Like they say “You can lead ‘em to water, but that doesn’t mean they will drink.” Ceste Le Vive! Casa Rah, sa Rah … So there you are …….. Walk a mile in my shoes.
