    Could somebody please point out the part in the Constitution that says having internet access is a right. I must have missed that.

    Funny, Don Imus gets in massive trouble for saying “nappy headed” but here we have the FCC Commissioner saying it and we only get laughter! Maybe she can get away with it because she is black and could probably get away with saying the “n” word too. I beleive they call that double standards…..She should be fired!

      Hey, remember when women used bobby pins to make tight hair curls? Maybe everyone should style their hair this way again in order to have free internet access and all the other freebies and entitlements that this government wants to redistribute from the rest of us. It won’t happen though, maybe just temporarily, since that’s not their real intention to help the needy.
      Its all about “Control” ending as the Global Leaders of the World.

      Here is a thought. What if people that want (FREE) did some public work, like picking up garbage along the side of the road or a thousand other jobs I can think of. Ahhhhhhh but it wouldn’t be free. And they really shouldn’t have to work like the guy footing the tax money for the free stuff. What was I thinking.

      The thing that distrubs me is that this woman is basing her support for free Internet on an observation she made as a child, she admits she was 8 or 9 years old.

      Now, let me ask you this, Mr. Jettson (great screen name by the way), what did you call your boss at work? You called him “Mr. Spacely”, didn’t you? You never called him Cosmo, at least not his face. Why? Because he was your boss, right?

      Does this woman actually think that people who worked for the Rockefellers or the Kennedys actually called their employers by their first names while they were employed by them? Seriously???
      This was a social cue that she missed, not a racial thing.

      This woman doesn’t appear to be old enough to remember that this all kind of changed in the late 60s early 70s. You might know the bank teller really well, but when you were in the bank as a customer, it was always “Mr.”, “Miss” or “Mrs.” from both parties, none of this “I’m your buddy who you have never seen before in your life and might not see again, but I’ll call you by your first name” junk.

      So, I discount her story based on a faulty premise, since she ascribes it to racism rather than how society worked when she was a kid.

      And I agree with the other posters who point out that the public libraries, schools and lots of other locations provide free wi-fi. You want 24/7 access – pay for it like the rest of us.

      And about the hair texture comment – she’s proud of the phrase, points it out to the audience even just to make sure they didn’t miss it, but her own hair certainly looked straight to me.

      They probably, already have a 52 inch flat-screen TV. They can see what is going on in the world, that is, if they can turn it off of Oprah, MTV, BET, and all the other crap that fills up the channels.
      More than half of the internet is porn and the part that’s left is trivia. The “nappy-headed chile” would probably just use it to download songs, look at what the latest rapper is doing on YouTube, or to look at fashions.

      Revise the dictionary. In the U.S., the word “right” can only be used when talking about God and/or the Constitution. It has been badly overused to refer to anything given to get reelected or destroy a civilization (see Rome, Greece and soon the United States).

      I think this is part of the larger National Socialist plan. They must make sure that Government Internet is in the b lacks faces in order to promote their propaganda. Net Neutrality is already being forced upon us – which of course is going to quickly allow complete Internet control by our government.

      I just have a feeling that the government realizes, that by suppressing the b lacks for so long, that they are Homer Simpson, who must have the propaganda fed RIGHT into their residences, because they have become too dependent and lazy to even go to the library.

      BTW: Yes, there is noise that EVERY student in ALL schools get a free government laptop.

      I called my Congressional office today and demand that she be fired for making these statements as she made such emphasis repeating to show her intentional saying those disgusting words. We need to take a stand and make sure that these race baiters understand that they will face consequences for their double standard. Surely if someone who was conservative had said those same words they would be shamed to no end and fired as Don Imus was.
