Mr. Connor,

How do you feel about baseball.  (Hint - Google your name and the keyword baseball)

I don't care what you have to say. You are racist and it is your choice, I respect it even though it's a stupid choice. But not everyone in this world is intelligent, as your comments clearly show. I will not lower myself to your level (which is definitely rock bottom) by saying disrespectful things, but I will say this. One day my race will be treated equal to your race and people will think of me as a hero, and you as a monster.

Although I was successful with killing 4 negros, 4 is not enough. It will take many more great people like ourselves to rid this earth of these creatures.

You said my race won't get equality for as long as you live? Well it is a good thing that you are OLD AS HELL and probably will die soon in the near future. I don't think that waiting for you to die will be so bad, seeing how old you already are.

Watch my video, see what happens when you talk to me like your an actual human being, when your not.

I wish we could just all of these blacks back to where ever they came from. Don't you agree?

Mr. Connor,

You said, "like your an actual human being, when your not." You are demonstrating to the world that you never graduated from high school because you used the wrong "your."  You meant, "you're,"  which is short for "you are."
