WHAT DO PEOPLE FEAR MOST

This is pathetic, but darn funny when you think about it for a second.

Two magazines, Country Living (95.99% white readership) and Ebony /Jet (9999% black readership) did surveys on....

"WHAT DO PEOPLE FEAR MOST?" The results were interesting, to say the least....

Country Living magazine's top three answers were:
1. Nuclear war/terrorist attack in U.S
2. Child/spouse dying
3. Terminal illness

Ebony / Jet magazine's top three answers were:
1. Ghosts
2. Dogs
3. Registered mail

AND TO GO ALONG WITH ALL OF THIS, I'LL SHARE TWO QUOTES; ONE PITIFUL AND ONE GREAT!

"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me, as we change it."-- Barack Obama

''Life's tough, pilgrim, and it's even tougher if you're stupid.'' John Wayne

i fear stupid people who will sit back and ignore the political situation as our country goes down the tubes so long as they have their iphones, ipods and think everything is ok until it isn't.

What is the point of this? Maybe I am not getting it. Are you saying that African American's fears are not valid for some reason? Just seems cultural to me.

No offense you guys but if this was a post about Christians/religion you guys would be freaking out about it.

Outdoor, it's been a while since you've posted one of these completely false emails. Yes, it is pathetic, but not for the reasons you think and No, it is not funny in the slightest - it is obviously racist, offensive, and based on false stereotypes. I thought you were better than that to post crap like this. I need a disappointed emoticon.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Which is why I keep the racists and the 'phobes on ignore. They aren't worth listening to, or the bandwidth.

Hey, I am willing to give OP the benefit of the doubt. And I don't usually assume anyone is racist. Just tell us what the point was and then I can decide.

So, I guess the pathetic part is that this racist drivel got posted here in the first place, and the funny part is..........oh wait, there's not a funny part.

Anybody wanna lay odds that Outdoor launches into an attack rather than simply admitting he was wrong?
