In some caaes these bave been offered at 2 centa each in¬ stead of 1 cent, wWcb is the price, but in neither case have the boys been authorized by the society to sell the stamps, which should be purchased only from members of the Antf- TvdMrculosis Committeeof the Neigh¬ borhood Workers. -^ Service Flag With Six Stars This flag hangs in the window of the garage of G.

Village Employees Get Needed Raiaea At the regular meeting of the Free¬ povt Village Board of Trustees on Thursday afternoon resolutions were passed raising the salary of !all police¬ men who had served the village over 16 years (12 a month, an& of the rest $7 a month with the stipulation that each officer must maintain a telephone 'in his home. The following increases in salaries at the municipal light and power plant were also made: Joseph Raynor, from $72.50 to $77.50. John B. Combs, from tS5. to 90. Thomas Chilton, from ?100 to $105. Police Justice Flint reported fines collected for October amounted to 1910. Tax Oollector D. Frank Seaman was by motion directed to turn in his books to the Village Treasurer. Village Treasurer S. Dimon Smith reported the following balances on hand: Freeport, N. Y., Sov. 15, 1917. TO ADVANCE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE To Our Subscribers:— On and after this date the subscription price of the Nassau County Review will be $2 per year. We will bill ali subscribers to the end of the year now running, in no case beyond Jan. 1, 1918, at the former price of $ 1.50 per year and after that date at $2. Comment as to the necessity of this raise in price wouid seem unnecessary. No business has been hit heu'der than the newspaper and printing trades by war conditions, and in order to meet a part pf the increased expense we must make this advance. We have done our best to "play fair" with our read¬ ers. We have tried to keep in touch with the news of oyr locality. There now remains the necessity either to shut down on the news and the size of our paper or to advance the price and we feel that our subscribers will agree with us that the decision we have reached is the better one.

Her oldest son, Henry Wright, en¬ listed in K Co. of the former Second Montana when the company was mob¬ ilized in Billings last Spring after war had been declared. After enlist¬ ing he gained considerable fame lo¬ cally by cleaning out a den of I. W. W.'s in a south side rooming house. Wright v/alked into the place and one of the "Wobbilies' rtiade an insulting remark about his uniform. He promptly floored him with a right to the jaw. Three other I. W. W.'s then jumped on to him, but he secured a poker and whipped the three of them. Charles Wright is also a volunteer. He enlisted in K Co. previous to the Mexican trouble in 1916 and served on the border with the company for several months. When the call came in the Spring, after the war with Ger¬ many had been declared, Charles was in Seattle working for the Pullman Company as a dining car cook. He was reached by letter and not arriv¬ ing in time to report with the com¬ pany in Billings, went straight to Helena And raported there. John Wright; tiie third to enter the service, waa drafted and is in Bill¬ inga with the third contingent of draft troops. While Henry and Charles were mob- iHsed at Fort Harrison, their father, Charles M. Wright, died at his home in Billings. Both boys were granted furloughs to come to this city artd at¬ tend the funeral of their fatlier. Mrs. Wright has been a resident of Billings for the past 12 or 16 years, coming originally from Missouri. "All my boys are patriotic," ahe said, vrith moistfftied eyes that told of the moth¬ er love, which was secoi^d only to ber love for her country. "It is hard to see them one after another enter the service, but their country needs them and I know they will be good soldier boys. I do hope the war will be oyer before George, my youngest boy, is old enough to enlist." Mrs. Wright makes her home with a married daughter in Bilhngs. The three brctliers referred to in above i^rticle ^are at Camp Mills, strange land. Colonel Screws said to me in com¬ menting on the hospitality his ijoys were shown in your midst that if our Southern people show as much hospi¬ tality to your Northern boys who are down there now in training, he will feel nlore proud of his Southern peo¬ ple. Again thanking you and the mem¬ bers of your Club for our Alabama friends, and thanking you personally for your favors to them, I am. Very cordiaUy yours, Leon J. Goetter. Last Wednesday, while playing about a fire of leaves. Belford, the 4- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bertram Hope, of Camp Ave., was so serious¬ ly burned that he died later of the shock.

Settle, Wantagh, as a member of the Coun¬ cil, was received and accepted with regrets, Mr. Settle feeling that his living in Wantagh made it impractic¬ able to attend meetings and be active in Scout work as he felt he should. Mr. Rudolph Koeppel was elected to the vacancy. A niastiueiade ball for benefit of Bellmore Baseball Club will be given in Firemen's Hall on Saturday even¬ ing, December 22.

At the next monthly meeting of the Council the entire troop will be on parade, the drummers and buglers will perform, and certain examina¬ tions be held to give the Council first hand information of the actual Scout work being done. Mrs. J. J. Littebrandt spent the first three days of the week visiting at her old home in Yonkers, N. Y. Miss Florence Hewlett has been confined to the hou«e for the last week or more with a serious attack of ton¬ silitis. Walter Angell is at home here on furlough of a month from Camp Meade endeavoring to recover from a series of attacks of illness which have kept him pretty rauch in the hospital since his joining the army. He re¬ turned a week ago Tuesday with ill¬ ness bordering on pneumonia but is now able to be up. with the ball. Capt. Thonias Smith, who has been critically ill at his home on Merrick Road for the past two weeks, is im¬ proving slowly. The members of Advance Hook and Ladder Company sre making an ef¬ fort to establish a fire district in this village. It would seem as if thk was a step in the right direction. This would place the burden of supporting the fire department on the entire vil¬ lage instead of being shouldered by the few who are interested in the flre company as at present. These men are always ready to make the sacri¬ fices necessary at the alarm of fire and should not also be compelled to maintain the company financially.- Mrs. Unclaimed Lettera J (Fraeport Poat Ofice) Adenheim, Joseph Carter, Mrs. Theo.

hi guys! i recently read maurice and his amazing educated rodents to my daughter, she's an avid reader with normally a few books on the go but we always have one that i read to her at night. i'd bought maurice for her to read herself originally but she couldn't grasp the humour at first

A Standardized Testing Revolt
Over the past year, there's been a steady and ongoing revolt in Texas. Not about secession or guns or the many other fringe topics that the state is usually associated with. This battle has been waged primarily by parents and teachers, and the demand is relatively simple—cut back on testing our kids. There's been similar sentiments simmering in states across the country, but in Texas a new set of tests, put in place last year, sparked the outcry. Now, the push that began in school board and PTA meetings has finally reached the halls of power.
When the biennial state legislature gaveled in on Tuesday, it didn't take long for newly re-elected Speaker of the House Joe Straus to mention testing. "By now, every member of this house has heard from constituents at the grocery store or the Little League fields about the burdens of an increasingly cumbersome testing system in our schools," he said. "Teachers and parents worry that we have sacrificed classroom inspiration for rote memorization. To parents and educators concerned about excessive testing: The Texas House has heard you."
It's quite a turnaround for the state that brought standardized testing onto the national agenda. In the 1990s, Governor George W. Bush implemented a series of statewide requirements. Running for president, he claimed the new accountability system led to dramatic improvements, particularly among poor and minority students, calling the results the "Texas Miracle"—though just how miraculous these gains were has since been called into question. In Washington, Bush modeled his No Child Left Behind legislation on the state plan, and around the country, testing became an increasingly prominent part of public education.
Now Texas is almost certain to scale back on testing, which has continued to expand since Bush's time. Currently the state tests kids every year in multiple subjects between third and eighth grade. In fifth and eighth grade, children who fail are automatically held back. High-schoolers must pass a number of class-specific tests to graduate. The state uses the tests to evaluate the students and the schools. Many other states have a similar system, and plenty have gone even farther, using standardized test results to determine teacher performance and the like.
Meanwhile, the state has continued to update its tests. Student achievement has steadily declined under Bush's successor, Governor Rick Perry, so the answer had to be better tests—right? New ones approved by the legislature in 2009 were widely considered an improvement. But they are also significantly more difficult, and they were scheduled to go into place for the 2011-12 school year—just as the state slashed an unprecedented $5.4 billion from public schools to avoid raising taxes. Many of the programs used to identify and help struggling children were cut from state and local budgets, and teachers were left to teach to a more rigorous test with fewer resources. As the huge cuts went into place, those already frustrated by the emphasis on testing pointed to the state's $500 million contract with Pearson, the international corporation that does testing. The new tests threatened dire consequences for high-school students—under the new law, 15 percent of their final grade in a class was to be determined by their standardized test score in that subject.
Even before the tests and budget cuts went into effect, it was clear that a backlash was brewing. For rural communities, in particular, the public school is often the heart of the town, providing employment for many and a reason for families not to move away, so concerns about too much testing seemed to take on greater urgency. While most of the national anti-testing rhetoric comes from teachers' groups and others associated with the left, in Texas rural Republicans took the lead. During the 2011 session, even as lawmakers were gutting education spending, one-third of the state House members, mostly Republicans, supported an amendment from Representative Larry Phillips of the small town of Sherman to get a waiver from the Department of Education and suspend testing for the next two school years. An East Texas GOP member filed a bill to create a total moratorium on standardized testing. Neither effort was successful, but both bills revealed the extent to which lawmakers were beginning to feel pressure from constituents.
By February 2012, the Perry-appointed state commissioner of education shocked the education establishment when he said the state testing system had become a "perversion of its original intent" and needed to be "reel[ed] back in." Robert Scott, who's since stepped down from the position, also said the state should not require 15 percent of a high-school student's grade come from his or her test score. After some back and forth between Scott and the legislature, that requirement was postponed.
The 15-percent requirement may be struck altogether this year. That's just one of the proposals to reform testing this session. Others include scaling back all the new testing requirements and changing how schools are assessed based on test scores. Much of the effort will likely come from Republicans—a significant shift from much of the country, where education reform is popular among most Republicans and an increasingly large number of Democrats like Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. In Texas, more than 800 of the state's 1,030 school districts have passed resolutions severely criticizing the state's testing system. You can bet most of those districts consider themselves pretty conservative. Some have pointed to the huge price tags to testing—by 2015, the state will have paid Pearson $1.1 billion for a variety of testing services.
Still, the picture for public schools in Texas is hardly rosy. Easing up testing may be one of the only bright spots for education advocates this year. Texas is last in the nation in per-capita school funding, but despite the enormous cuts from the last legislative session, Perry has urged lawmakers to focus again on tax cuts rather than increasing government spending. An ongoing legal battle over school funding may be the only hope for an increase in money for school districts. Meanwhile, many expect far-right Republican Senator Dan Patrick, the newly appointed chair of education who's steadily grown a power base of like-minded conservatives, to push hard on measures for vouchers to use public dollars to pay for private schools.
Texas' shift on testing could well have national repercussions. After all, it did more than any other state to bring the country into an era of Number 2 pencils and filling in bubbles. It might also be the state that leads us out.

The facts are clear. American students are falling behind other countries all over the world in basic proficiency in language, science and math. The public is tired of the finger pointing among the parents, teachers, and school administrators.
You can decry "wrote learning" all you want, but students cannot achieve critical thinking and problem solving skills until they have mastered basic reading, writing and math skills as well as a basic knowledge in the other subjects such as science, history, etc. You cannot think critically about world history if you don't know basic facts, such as where Russia is, where World War II was fought and on what side Russia fought.
Passing tests of basic proficiency and knowledge should be the least we expect of teachers and students. If they can't do that, they cannot master higher order critical thinking skills.
In New York State where I went to high school. Every student was required to pass a Regents Exam in every academic subject. If a student did not achieve a 65 on the Regents test they could not get credit for the course. If they got an 85, as I recall, they had to pass the course. This was never controversial. It just provided a basic quality control standard on education throughout the state.
In the past two decades the cost of educating children has risen substantially over and above inflation. The public and our students have a right to benefit from this investment. Teachers and education administrators cannot have it both ways. If the want respect and good salaries, they have to be responsible for doing a competent job.
Year after year some teachers and administrators produce outsize gains in student performance and while others produce little or no progress. Yet all are given almost complete job security and equal pay based on Seniority. We must find fair and reasonably accurate ways to reward good teachers and administrators, and retrain and, if necessary, punish or fire those that cannot or will not perform up to a reasonable standard.
The current system is not working. Yes ,some schools and some students are more difficult than others, but this is no excuse of failure. Teachers and administrators must be held accountable in a way that is fair and reflects the challenges they face. The country needs it and our students deserve it.

Hogwash mrc06405J. The U.S. is NOT falling behind other countries - you listen and believe the media too much, which you means you believe the billionaires who own them. Do some research. On international tests, our middle and upper class kids outscore the world. The one thing the U.S. is leading the developed world with is child poverty - we have 25% of our children living in poverty. These students, who score comparably with Mexico, are at-risk because of their home life and other factors such as the language they speak, etc.... Research shows the obvious correlation between that of poverty and student growth and proficiency. You expect the U.S. to outscore the world, or at least compete, when we lead the world in child poverty? Not possible. You fall into line nice with the rest of the sheeple that believe the headlines, and the billionaires love you. Pearson LOVES people like you. Do you think they give a flip about our kids or helping to offset the wage inequality in this country? Class mobility and wage inequality have increased substantially in the last few decades, and child poverty has more than doubled, yet your answer is to expect kids to pass a stupid test.
Moreover, if you would do some research you would quickly find that the reason why we have increased spending on education is that we have inherited more special needs kids, significantly reduced class size (which is good - private schools do it, so should public schools), and we have many more technological needs now than we did decades ago. Plus we implement laborious, costly programs now that we didn't decades ago - the best example are the ridiculous and costly teacher evaluations that each state has implemented that does teachers absolutely no good. Billionaires love this crap to - they can prop up the private sector by firing veteran teachers, raiding teacher pensions, and slashing budgets all because a band of bankers almost sunk this country. Taxable income diminished, and rather than tap the private sector to stabilize the public sector to stabilize the situation, the billionaires have waged war on the public sector and teachers (and their unions) are priority number one - bust unions, fire veteran teachers, convert traditional public schools to charters, and offer school vouchers at a savings for the taxpayer knowing that they will do no good, especially for our poor kids that need the most help.
And teachers who produce "outsize gains" teach to the test, prep and coach their kids for the test, or downright cheat. Wake up.
The current system WOULD work if the armchair educators in this country would shut up and allow the educators to dictate the situation. Please do your research, and start with analyzing the Finland system for an excellent model of education WITHOUT using test scores as a meaningless proxy.

At first glance, it seems a bit of a stretch to link the pouring of concrete with the latest development in oil pan technology, and the involvement of four high-tech-inclined industry powerhouses in a joint effort to help solve a common problem, but stick with us here and we'll run it down for you.
As the namesake of Jeff Johnston's Billet Fabrication, Jeff Johnston has long been pondering a situation that many wet-sump, high-horsepower cars experience. Both after the burnout and at the end of a pass, when the binders are applied, the oil pressure drops as the oil slams toward the front of the pan and away from the pump. Internal pan baffles and their "trap doors" have been an integral part of race-engine oil pans for years, but still the problem has persisted.
Some racers get around the top-end pressure-drop problems by simply shutting off the engine right at the finish line, which causes another segment of the racing fraternity to shudder. John Gianoli, proprietor of Reggie Jackson's Performance Engines (San Bruno, California) is in this group.
"If someone is running an automatic transmission," Gianoli told us, "and it isn't adjusted properly, the trans can easily go into reverse when the racer puts it into neutral. This is obviously bad enough, but another result can be even worse. If the rear is set up with ladder bars, the front rod ends of the bars often break off at this point, and then the car crashes."
And, no matter what one does at the top end, that still leaves the burnout to deal with. Killing the motor at the end of a burnout is obviously not an option. Letting the car drift downtrack for a while after getting off the throttle and slowing very gradually, in hopes of keeping the sloshing oil from getting too upset, can sometimes be marginally effective, but again is far from ideal.
As a builder of aluminum, billet-railed, high-performance oil pans and valve covers, Johnston has long pondered possible cures for this oil-control problem. And he's had many conversations about the subject with Bob Sanders of Titan Speed Engineering (Ojai, California), manufacturers of wet-sump oil pumps for the racing industry. Billet Fabrication builds pans designed to accommodate the large Titan pumps, so Jeff and Bob have many opportunities to chat. They had spent some time brainstorming possible solutions, but hadn't yet come up with any answers.
And so one weekend day, late in the 20th century, Johnston was helping a friend pour some concrete. While idly watching the mixture flow out of the hose from the pumper truck, he became intrigued by the operation of the 4-inch check balls that, simply and efficiently, governed the movement of the ooze from the two-stage pump and kept it going in the intended direction.
The proverbial light bulb lit up over Jeff's head, marking the beginning of some frenzied activity for Billet Fabrication. Phone calls were made, and a few days later, he had some new steel balls to work with.
A bit of time was spent at the computer, and a spew of commands was sent to the in-house CNC machinery. One thing led to another; before long, a seemingly optimal cylindrical device was in his hands. Billet-carved and featuring an interior that sports a cone at either end, it is shaped to accept a caged, 3/4-inch steel ball in one side that stops the flow of oil when the ball is forced forward, while allowing controlled fluid movement at all other times. (The actual dimensions and shapes of the tubes were the result of both mathematical equations and actual testing.)
And this ball slams shut tighter than a woman's purse in New York's Central Park. In other words, this valve arrangement seals really well.
The next steps in the process led to a test pan, with a half-dozen of these check-ball assemblies welded side by side into a baffle, just a bit above the pan floor. A standard trap-door baffle was installed at the other end of the pan, to provide a good look at the difference in the two methods of oil control.

John W. Brooks II started the last day of his life just as he had started every other for months. Despite his failing health, he woke up early Monday, cleaned up, shaved and sat in his favorite chair.
He didn't believe in staying in bed, no matter how he was feeling.
"He worked right till the end," said his nephew Rob Brooks. "He would rest, sure, but he would also do business and receive guests.
"He was going to live and die with his boots on. And he did."
About 5 a.m. Monday, John Brooks died of pulmonary fibrosis, according to his daughter, Pat Gordon.
The last grandchild of Harriet Catherine and John Thomas Brooks, the founder of old Camp Walton, died one day short of his 76th birthday.
He'd had a family dinner the day before to celebrate.
"My dad was all about history, and being the last of the grandchildren, he was always there for his brothers and sisters," his daughter said.
His wife, Jenny Brooks, also survives him, as does his son and namesake, John W. Brooks III.
Brooks was a long-time real estate agent whose many contributions to the area included helping save his old one-room Camp Walton Schoolhouse, which now is a museum.
Rob Brooks said everyone who met his uncle felt special about it. It was his firm handshake and the way he made eye contact with everyone, and his sincerity in both.
"He treated everybody with the same honesty and respect, and he had a long, good career because of that," Rob Brooks said.
John was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church of Fort Walton Beach, which began meeting in his family's home when he was a child.
"When he was a little boy, his mom would ask him to sing in front of the church, and then he could go out and play," Gordon said.
Gordon said he continued to go to church with his family until he no longer could. Some of her sweetest memories are of being in church with her dad.
"He held my hand in church when we prayed," she said. "I could hear him singing in my ear. I miss him.
"I miss his voice singing."
Brooks also was closely connected with Beulah First Baptist Church. His father had given the original land for the church to the black community, said Pastor Scottie Thigpen, a close friend of Brooks for three decades.
"John was a very concerned, loving, giving person," Thigpen said. "Didn't meet any strangers. Had no color barriers.
"We just had a good longtime bond. We were more like brothers, I guess, than friends."

Rob Parker's comments questioning Robert Griffin III's blackness have finally cost him his job. ESPN announced on Tuesday that they would be firing the "First Take" host. Here's the company's statement on the matter: "Rob Parker's contract expired at year's end. Evaluating our needs and his work, including his recent RGIII comments, we decided not to renew his deal." Parker said on "First Take" Dec. 13 that he wasn't sure what kind of brother Griffin was. He questioned the quarterback's blackness, and the episode re-aired throughout the day on ESPN without that idiotic part being edited out of the show. As the backlash picked up throughout the day, ESPN finally addressed the comments by calling them "inappropriate." ESPN suspended Parker and at least one producer from the show, and then announced Tuesday they decided not to bring back Parker. In his first extended comments since being suspended, Parker expressed very little remorse for his Griffin remarks. Parker blamed others for his RG3 comments, and then he said the public took his comments out of context. Sports Business Journal's John Ourand says ESPN made the decision to fire Parker before the host's interview with Click on Detroit. The post Rob Parker fired by ESPN appeared first on Larry Brown Sports. Related posts: ESPN: Rob Parker's Robert Griffin III comments were 'inappropriate' Robert Griffin III's father dismisses Rob Parker's comments Rob Parker blames others for his Robert Griffin III comments
Holy Crap, it sure took them long enough to do this. I hate to see anybody get fired but he brought this on himself. There are times when you just have to keep a belief to yourself and not make it public, especially when you make your living in the publics eye and your comments are examined. It's about time as a nation of people we judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin or as Parker puts it, 'Their Blackness or lack thereof'. I still can't understand why black people insist on using the 'N' word towards each other when they find it so offensive if a non African American uses it. It's a vile word and should not be used by anyone whether they are black or white. Well Parker may not have dropped the 'N' word or an 'F' bomb but he still screwed up so maybe others will stop all this nonsense about how black someone is.
You mentioned the N word being freely used by African-americans. This is not true. This term is used by people,(black), who are generally mis-informed, mis-guided,and stupid, and have an outright disrespect for themselves and other African-americans throughout history who have experienced a living hell and died miserable deaths so they could stand and disrespect everything that got them to this point. Sad, but, true. Every race has their cancers.
Not true. It takes on a totally different spelling and meaning. For those of you who label brown people mis-informed...etc...you are mis-informed. For you to feel the need to respond to someone that is not obviously of brown heritage is an issue that should be addressed. This notion to be accepted by those who have killed, murdered, raped, lynched, and burned brown people for hundreds of years is......"stupid"
No one here, that I am aware of, has killed, murdered, raped, lynched, or burned brown people.
I liked him. and sad that he got fired . it was just an opinion. First take sees them self as a cutting edge debate show and his being fired for giving his opinion as he was asked to do cools the show down a bit. I don't think his comment was a personal reflection on rg3, but if he could fit an idealized afro american role for youth . now with him being sensored how can we take first take seriously.
steven A smith should go too....what a *******.
I have seen too many people on Fox News, Rush Limdoper,and other conservative media people Say things and they don't get fired, and the ones that do go to another TV station, O'Reilly said Asians where too smart to be Dem. and many Asians where upset about his comments about Asian-Americans, was he fired? NOT!~ This thing about Blacks using the "N" word? I am sure you use words to call yourself and your race behind close doors or when you are with people of your ink. All that will happen is if you are dump enough or brave enough to tell it like it is in this America, you better be King, or Malcom X, Marcus Garvey or the hundreds of others who stood up and told the true and saw the face of death for a cause, this is like all the other cases others will keep on pushing and saying things you think they should not, they do it everyday and when they get caught they just say they are sorry and they come back even stronger and bolder, Rush Limdoper is a good example of what I am talking about, I never heard so much hate speak come out of one man's mouth as his.
Who cares? No one is addressing the bigger problem that the black community has a whole laundry list of what black people should be. They are all out for themselves.
THEY? Who the hell are you to speak for THEY? Who are THEY? Are you one of THEY? If not, how the hell do you know what THEY are out for? Unless you've walked in THEY's shoes I think you should shut the hell up and keep your opinions to yourself. Just another racist who lost the election and possibly your tea party card!
The opinion you obviously have such a problem with isn't nearly as racist as the man's who was fired. If RGIII has to be a certain political affiliation to be black - and with the slams you made about the election and the Teaparty, you're obviously in league with this idiot who was fired - YOU are the racist.
hey prisonwarder. I grew up in communist Detroit from the '67 riots on through '90. You remember...when THEY Homies burnt down THEY city and its still THEY s**tpile 47 years later. Are you and Parker just "cornball" brutha's or "cornbread" brutha's? Us inquiring "cracker a** cracka, honky whitey" minds would like to know!You're a racist moron d***head. Go f**k yourself
Take it easy 5thwarder. You sound pretty "racist" yourself. How you like that? We are ALL fed up with the race card BS, OK? Got it? It's a damn crutch. And if I hear "walk in my shoes" one more time...it's an excuse to be lazy and cast blame on everybody but yourself.
Wake up, bud. Chill. Read some more.
There is enough black on black crime without this clown doing it on national tv.
is there enough white on black crime????
How about black on white crime? Oh wait... the mainstream media doesn't report on that, so it must not happen at all.
Anyway, enough with the race BS. He was fired because he said something incredibly stupid. It happens all the time regardless of race.
BAD BAD BAD MOVE.. Now he will play the race card,, they could have let him stay a while and become irrelevant,, Now he will play the victim., AL and JESSIE have a new protege.
You didn't make a valid point at all. You just wanted to say "race card....AL and Jessie". Its the usual comments applied to everything racial
Thank you!!
He can't play the race card, because he asked to be fired. Unfortunatley, he was still looking for acceptance in the wrong place. Also, he still has an identity issue with himself. He is not proud to be black.
Wow...I was thinking the exact same thing although I believe he will surely swear on all that's holy that he was fired "because he is black." I don't see this guy admitting he spoke out of term and made an huge error.
Yes, he should play the race card because the race has always been used against and to the detriment of black/brown people for hundreds of years and still counting....
None of this is about black PEOPLE. The whole "black" debate and issue is abot black MEN! What this black man is doing, what this black man is saying. Should black men be able to date as many white women as they want? Should Tiger woods get away with cheating on his white wife or OJ with killing his? Should the police have shot some black boy? Should the President be a black man? Did some black guy say poor blacks are lazy? Did some black guy call Jews bloodsuckers? Did some black guy say dare a white reporter to use the n-word........I'M SO SICK OF THIS! Black males are a minority- within a minority (and are out numbered). Black females pay most of the taxes for blacks, are employed more, have most of the high school diplomas and college degrees (without the SPORTS scholarships), and to the bulk of the voting and church going for blacks. But whites and the media still make them the center of attention so you can agree or DISagree with "how BLACKS" are and how "BLACKS" talk.
{{{RGIII is NOBODY!!! SO is Rob Parker! If RGIII does something wrong to his white girlfriend/wife (ie OJ, Tiger ,and others) you all will consider his race and "preferences" in women too.}}}
News flash....blacks were never the minority. Are you a global thinker or local thinker?
Also, black females don't pay the most taxes within the black race. Black males make more collectively than black females.
@jbrizzy...What the hell does how much taxes black women pay or don't pay have to do with THIS conversation?
I have the right to ask since I am a black woman.
You sound ignorant as all outdoors.
seems to me, rob parker's freedom speech guarantees were absolutely violated in this matter. Any "issues" should be left to RGIII and RP to resolve on their own terms, as men, albeit black men!
You shouldn't comment on factual matters without understanding what you're talking about. Do some reading about free speech guarantees, then give me a two page background paper in the morning. Maybe then you can comment intelligently on free speech.
Free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want at anytime or place...You place limits on it when you sign contracts to represent your employer on the air and they reserve the right to restrict your opinions to keep them in line with theirs. If a white man asked that stupid question, every black on the planet would be raging and demand his termination. Good for ESPN for being fair and equal. It was pathetic to challenge RG3's "blackness". Maybe parker should consider his own so-called blackness, because he sounds like an ignorant backwoods hillbilly whiteboy...RG3 is a class act and I would love for my own boys(white) and every other boy of all ethnicites to show the honorable character, work ethic, and pride that RG3 shows...What does parker mean by "down for the cause"?..maybe that same ole bitching, blaming, excuse making crap that has divided people for years?...Parker would be the first one to blow his top if anyone challenged a mans "blackness" He would be making racist allegations right away! Go get some lessons from RG3 about "class" and get over your racial BS! When he apologizes and acknowledges how stupid he was to even suspect anyones "blackness" I'll stop considering him an ignorant moron.
its funny how YOU PEOPLE consern your selfs with what black people or african americans call each other ,its like a family thing. family can say what they want about each other but out siders cant ,white people have called black people the N word more times than a N.W.A and Richard Pryor record ,and still do but not in the open so much ,its non of your consern what we call each other ,i could care less about white people calling each the N word !dont get mad because its not the 1800s and you cant openly disrespect us with out us getting in your stuff .
Wrong. It is not a family thing to disrespect every drop of African blood that has ever flowed on this earth by useing a term that was and is considered less than dog. People were called the N word while being raped, hunted, burned, lashed, hung,beaten, and tortured in the most unimaginative ways. And for another black to use it as a term of endearment is diplorable and sad. Their is no excuse to justify it's use.
You are so right bboppp. That word is derogatory to the max. I grew up in 50's-60's Louisiana and it was b-a-d all around for blacks. Before MLK. Things most young blacks have never seen or experienced. I guess IIISupreme's "family" are not "Americans"? That's my family and I don't use rotten language on them unless I get it from them first. Ban the damn N word forever. Get rid of it. It's not "family", endearing or funny.
No one needs to disrespect you, you disrespect yourselves more than enough for all others to just watch and shake their heads.
Why does the media feel the need to sensationalize EVERYTHING! The headline says "Rob Parker Fired by ESPN". Then in the first sentence of the article,it quotes ESPN saying that "Rob Parker's contract expired at year's end........and we decided not to renew his deal". Besides that,if ESPN is so sensative about comments like this, WHY IS STEPHEN A.SMITH still employed there? How many more N bombs does that guy get to drop before he gets fired?
because this guy questioned the "blackness" of a celebrity
Smith only showed that he was "down with the struggle" by saying N***A Please
yes i know he said he didnt say it and it was only because he "talks fastly"...but i listen fastly and yeah, thats what he said
Yeah, well "N***A PLease" needs to go, too. And now.
Thank YOU for saying it out loud and telling it like it is.
None of this is about black PEOPLE. The whole "black" debate and issue is abot black MEN! What this black man is doing, what this black man is saying.

Hey Free, why did you feel the need to post the same remarks 15 minutes after your first one?
First, learn how to spell if you're going to criticize others. It's about not "abot." Second, stop using generalizations about specific incidents. It's not about a black boy just being shot by police or whatever. It's about the details around it. Also, I doubt you looked at any statistics for most of the garbage in your comment, so just shut the hell up. It's a SPORTS show. To unintelligent people like yourself, that means they talk about SPORTS. So they discussed RG3 and his comments. Then Rob Parker's own comments were discussed and ridiculed heavily. If a black woman would have made Parker's comments, she would be ridiculed as well. It's my pleasure to speak for everyone who wasted 30 seconds of their lives to read your ridiculous uninformed comment, and tell you to please STFU!
Wonder what Ole BuckWheat had to say about the game Sunday like maybe " Sure did look like RG3's knee didn't bend like a brothers knee" " Looked like a Whitey injury"!!! Good riddence to this wind bag, I hope we see him at the local soup kitchen in the near future, but he'll most likely find a way onto Al Sharpton's posse!!!
Yea....and your comments came out of frustration at Rob and Al?
Way to justify your racism.
BY the way, when was the last time anybody heard from Al or Jesse? You whites talk about them like they are having press conferences everyday. They haven't said a thing in nearly a YEAR! Except Al Sharpton supported gay marriage.
I did not know Al Sharpton was gay...guess that explains the hair
You obviously do not live in chicago. Jesse writes for the Sun-Times and we hear his crap on a regular basis.
Mack, he won't be at a soup kitchen, he's a damn good sports reporter. Sounds like your remarks were kinda racial there.
Shame on you Yardbarker!!! For sensationalizing nothing.
Actually, as an afterthought, it further seems to me, RGIII has much more issues and concerns to ponder than Mr. Parker's freedom of speech, as RGIII's abysmal performance on Sunday are much more critical deserving more attention as he failed to bring victory to his team despite his big build-up, attention, and platitudes. One has to ponder if we are seeing another black quarterback failure, along the lines of Randy Cunningham and Donovan McNabb, both of whom exhibited extreme futility in key games while attempting to lead the Philadelphia Eagles.
I'm kinda sick of all the racial crap. There are good people and there are bad people but we are all God's children. We need to heal as a nation and put all this where it belongs....in history books. Try saying something nice to 5 people a day and you'll be amazed how good it makes you feel. Also read Sidney Poitier's book "The Measure of a Man". BTW.....I am white but I love my fellow man.
Why? Sidney Poitier is no hero or black savior.
He has his own type of racial hang- ups. Similar to Quincy Jones. Portier's book has about as much usefulness and Earl Woods (Tigers father) book or Bill Cosby's....or THE BOOK OF VIRTUES or Newt Gingrichs writings on morality and values and work ethic.
Its a lot a smoke and righteous talk from men who are hypocrits and live a life or lifestyle that was or is part of the problem.
Great statement!! Finally, sensability. God bless you!
Hate is Hate: it doe not know color. Samuel Jackson has been getting away with this BS for decades. Remember when Al Sharpton asked "...but is Obama Black enough?..."? A white person would have been crusified with this bullya,(remeber Rush Limbaugh's McNabb statement?) it should be wrong for the black person also. Wrong is Wrong!
Not quite.
When Vanessa Williams became the 1st black Miss America, it was not because she was talented and beautiful. SHE WAS! But there had been many other black women just as talented who didn't even make the finals. Vanessa was blond and blue (greeny) eyed! She was given the titled for that reason....she was the whitest black there was. In fact history has proven that whites have NEVER elected a dark skinned black as the first anything!
THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE OBAMA DEBATE! Were whites really opening up racially or were they eager to play the old game of putting the black in with the whites skin or the white parentage.
Yes on both counts.
So true. Darker skinned blacks worked the fields, lighter skinned blacks worked in the homes. Throughout history lighter skinned black have been more accepted by whites than darker.
Never is a long time. Ever heard of JC Watts. He is not one of those "whitest black" at least from what i see. His district that elected him is about 75% white. I feel you can make some good points but you are much too influenced by something else.
thumbs up!!
Also plenty of whites openly debated whether Obama should be identifying himself as "black" while having a white (deceased) mother and grandparents. Do some research. It wasn't just Al asking the race question with OBAMA
I can never figure out the method for elitist TV executives when choosing who to "punish" and who to reward. Why is Kathy Griffin allowed to co-host CNN's New Years Eve when she pretended to give Anderson Cooper a kiss on his "sardine" with millions of families tuned in? This wasn't a black thing or a civil rights thing. Its about money and ratings. Rob Parker must not have been making the execs rich enough.
All this guy did was make a comment. An opinion. Nothing more. I wouldn't want that job, sitting around a round table making comments about sports and the Atheles that perform these sports we all enjoy watching. I used to watch ESPN and that program "First Take" almost daily. Not anymore, These people have got be super cautious with their words, not saying what they really want to express.
If whites and this country were really tired of the race issue, you would stop elevating black males to special places jsut so they can say negative things about whites or negative things about blacks (as Bill Cosby and Rob Parker did- in different ways). The whole debate is about and around black males and what they are saying or doing. Thats no accident, considering black females outnumber, outwork,out vote, and pay the bulk of the taxes black people pay.
If you are watching or listening or defending or attacking RGIII, Rob Parker, Samual L Jackson, Al Sharpton, Bill Cosby, Sidney Poitiers, Jessie Jackson, Tiger Woods, Michael JOrdan, Clarence Thomas or "all the blacks with their pants hanging down around their butts"........then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!
free you are a racist idiot. listen to yourself "you whites", and you start with that and call us a racist in the same sentence and say we are the problem.Maybe is black women were not all over reality shows hoeing around and acting like loud mouth hood rats you would get more respect. I know some cool black women but most act like they are owed something and always scream racism if they are criticized at work. They always date some hood scum that has ten baby momma's and no job and you support them in prison and act like they are the victim. grow and get your head out of your ass. if you want respect then earn it. its not racism, i feel the same way about white trash and mexicans that live in trailer parks. if you want the media to notice black women then take your selves off these awful reality shows that make you look like materialistic slutty hood rats. you get treated by the way you act and represent your self and sorry but people do characterize and profile, everyone does it black, white, brown, and yellow all do it, its not racism it just the way people are
There's no race card here fool, there are many idiots in the so-called African American community who dislike their own kind like Mr. Griffin, Tiger woods and others, and Mr. Parker is just trying to call them out.
I agree-some what. I think people choose to miss the point.
If Rob Parker was making a blanket statement that "if you date white....you are not black"- that is WRONG!
But after OJ and so many others (including Michael Jackson) why are whites acting like there is NO HISTORY of black males with money or power "status dating" or "trophy marrying"- its not right that their status and trophey's are color coded.Even P. Diddy openly casted for only light skinned female models. Its a real issue.
Yes Kathy Griffin kissing Coopers crotch was way out of line....CNN should not have her host again....clean it up Kathy.....tasteless.
and the First Take guys are a buncha loudmouths. fire them all
it's about time, usually it's ..... oh ! their racists , see ya, parker, bye bye !
He should have been fired that afternoon, some blacks tend to frown upon decency and just being a real guy, raised by honorable American parents, to have morals and integrity, something missing on this jerk offs resume. Another unemployed racist.
Alright folks, lets call this guy what he is, not real bright when he's suppose to be talking sports on a sports show and here he is popping off about how black is black.
Where did this come from anyway? if he's up set about him not having another real brother maybe it's time for him to go out and start making more friends.
He can't call this firing a racist situation, he's wasn't there to discuss any issue about black versus white, I think he had a fart for brains moment..
WOW, the balls on this moron(RP) who unfortunately has a mouth, to express an opinion. RG111 has black skin, question of his etnicity is put to rest right there. Just because he has a different outlook than this HUGE MORON(RP), that makes him a different black man, WTF?!! I have never used the N word to describe anyone, just seems so pointless to drudge up someting that pertains to our ignorant past. If they like to use it on each other, and I understand they use with a whole other meaning, it still carries ignorant antiquated derrogatory undertones. And What his ignorant gentleman has tried to do is segregate the races back to a time of ignorance, and uneducated missuderstandings. Rob Parker needs to evolve or go back to the gettos, trailer park, goverment housing, or wherever this unintelligent big mouth came from. This guy(RP) has loser written all over his forehead!!!
Well it took them long enough....Good riddence
Well, he asked to be fired. Unfortunatley,he was still looking for acceptance.
So let me get this straight ESPN. Question a media darling's "blackness" and get fired, but another says the N-word on live TV and then lies about it and keeps his job? You guys are becoming more and more laughable!
Well, he asked to be fired and he did not realize that he needed to resign after he made the negative comment against RG 111, before CNN fired him.
Unfortunately, he was still looking for acceptance, because he still has an identity crisis.
Although there is still racism in this country Rob Parker has proven stupid is not divided by color!
Amen to that!
If you look at RG3 and his accomplishments and the main thing that comes to your mind is his race – you are probably a racist. If you form a negative opinion about the man because of the color of his skin and the color of the people in his life, then you are a racist. It is that simple. Hell, claim it if you think it.
Parker's statement that RG3, or any other Black entertainer or athlete, has "pushed away from his people" is straight out ignorant and racist. He is speaking as if all Black people have to follow these certain rules and laws and limitations to be "Black".
Parker is a big idiot who obviously didn't learn from his first mistake. ESPN did the right thing by firing him. Any television personality, no matter what race, should be fired for those type of empty-headed comments.
He and Brent Mustawethispantsburger can start their own network of idiots. Jerry Jones will back them !
Rob Parker has proven that stupid comes in all colors!
Yeah sure and that brown noser Stephen A. Smith can use the "N" word over and over then go on TV and LIE that he didn't say it when the tape is all over youtube!!! And nothing happens to Stephen for his remarks. Stephen had something to do with this, he don't like Rod and is always making fun of him and dissing his clothes. Stephen A really needs to check his background and not RG3!!! COOKIE!!!
I don't believe RG3 cares about meeting Mr. Parkers "blackness" standards. RG3 has a job playing football. Mr. Parker's personal feelings about RG3 only matters to Mr. Parker. Those feelings should not have been made public. Think before you spew out ignorance.
Let's see......RGIII comes from a military family, mom and DAD have been married forever and have been a family that teaches responsibility and christian values. He's intelligent and well mannered.
Looks like he is just going to be hated by most liberals and a certain segment of the minority population due to either not fitting the mold or plain old jealousy.
This guy should have been fired because he is not only an idiot he is the worst kind of racist. A jealous one.
Good! Im glad that they fired his ignorant ass. I am an African American female, and I don't relate to many things that are so called "BLACK THINGS",and my fiancee is a white male who is very loving and good to me. I live my life in a way that makes me happy, and its narrow minded ignorant individuals like this man who thinks he speaks for every person of color( Spike Lee, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton etc etc). For every black person that limits themselves to sterotypes of who and what we should be or act like, are nothing but slave minded just like this man, and shouldnt be clueless when the racists individuals make their ignorant comments towards minorities. All balck people are not created equal, we dont all know each other..lol, we dont all live the same, think the same, and do the same things, just as other races,cultures and genders do not, it all depends upon a persons mind and how they think.
Note: Where the mind goes, the person follows. This man is now following his mouth out the door!
Well said. Racist are plentiful in all races.
some of that is true but we are all black and regardless there must be some unity, some understanding. dont act like you dont know where he is coming form, who cares if you dont agree... i dont!
" I don't relate to many things that are so called "BLACK THINGS",and my fiancee is a white male"
-No wonder you only see the world as white.
So Rob you are saying that if a black man is a republican he is not a brother. What an A h--e. You are part of a very big problem that stems from ignorance and stupidity. So automatically if you have a different opinion than the 98% that voted democrat you a traitor or at best austrasized. The whole idea is to get beyond color and respect a person for their effort, morals, opinions, etc. Centering on the topic that you have chosen to address is disgusting and dispicable. I'm glad someone had the b--l- to fire you, you self-absorbed j--k a--.
Actually and honestly, Parker has been expressing his racist and partial attitude on the air for months but it took this to get him FIRED? Victim my butt, ESPN should sue him for slander!
We've got to stop labeling ev erything and everyone. We're just people. Forget the color thing. What the **** is wrong with us?
They pretty much ALWAYS say they were taken out of context. Even when you play the entire thing back for them. Heyyy, how often did Rethuglican politicians get to weasel out from under their verbal diarrhea this past year with "I was taken out of context!"
About time they fired that racist and bigot
He's a sports commentator and should be talking about sports.
Imagine if a white announcer had said he questioned a white player's whiteness? It's totally ridiculous and has no place on a mainstream television station.
I heard the original interview. Steven A and Skip have said worse. This is PC BS, egged on by birther idiots. He posed the comments as what others were saying.
As Lenin and Marx said. The United States will destroy itself from within. Good Job liberals. White vs Black. Gay vs Straight, Religious vs Athiest, Rich vs Poor. Great Job everyone its not the United States but the DIVIDED STATES. This is what the USSR wanted. Finally, its sports, keep race, color, and sexual orientation out of it.
I always thought he was a horrible commentator. Every thing came out of his mouth was ugly. He only tried to voice his opinion to the obnoxious extreme. You had to hate everyone he spoke of to ever agree with him. I am SO glad he is gone. I am not a RGIII fan, just hate the kind of ugliness Parker dishes out. Again, Good Riddance hater.
Rob Parker is an ignorant black man that does not represent his race properly.
This type of mentality that Rob Parker has is just the kind of racism that the Civil Rights Movement and Dr. Martin Luther King was trying to abolish. I wear braids and I'm not a brother, I'm not even a male, but because I wear braids I'm a brother ? Can't get any more racist or ignorant than that!!! I think RG3 is a respectable PERSON who represents himself as a wonderful role model, expecially in todays world of sports. People of any color who divide their idenity by the color of their skin ARE RACIST ! I would hate to hear what Rob Parker would call me because I don't have the same skin color as him. Sexism usually goes hand in hand with a racist. ESPN just got huge dose of respect from me for firing Rob Parker !!!
Wow a black man being fired for talking abbout a black man! How things have changed but for how long. It was a stupid comment from a stupid man. We had to put up with him for yrwas in Detroit and I was glad he was gone now I hope he just dissapears!
In a week no one will remember who..a.a.a..Rob or is it Rod...mmmm....the guy who said something about that quarterback
As much as I hate to see someone lose their job, in this case, I agree with ESPN.
Parker's comments about RG111 were defamatory, malicious, and highly charged with ridicule,disrespect, and scornful venom.
The only thing he didn't call him was an uncle-tom.
As an African American, myself, I find his comments distasteful and reprehensible.
Both Stephen A. Smith and ESPN showed a lot of class in this matter.
All ESPN needs now is to get rid of these two idiots
Smith & Bayless
Good, now he can move onto something he is qualified for "paper or plastic"
Good riddance !
The Black Community has had a serious problem of color bigotry within the community for decades. How wonderful that our society has advanced far enough that now even that is being addressed. No more octoroons, quadroons, high yellow, field or house "N", etc. EVERY race needs to do some work within their own group. FINALLY, the Black community is beginning. Everyone will benefit. Hooray!
