life since obama was elected
By American Girl in Italy on February 21, 2009 at 2:05 PM in Current Affairs, Racism
Hope, change, peace, prosperity, love, respect, pride…
A world where we co-exist in perfect harmony. Where African Americans feel proud. Where charges of racism no longer exist. Where people put down their differences, and view the world differently. Where people pledged to live better, and respect each other and be better people.
So, how’s that been working out?
“Good Morning America” reporter David Wright said, “Ever since the inauguration, America has seemed to bask in a post-racial glow. But not so fast. Yesterday, the New York Post published a cartoon likening President Obama to a violent monkey shot by police.”
Hmmm, is that true? Is the New York post cartoon destroying this post racial glow?
If you asked me, I’d say things have not been going too well all month. And it is particularly disappointing, considering it is Black History Month.
Someone even threw a race card at Black History Month, because Black History Month is in February, the shortest month.
“…take this Black History Month, which, frankly, I think a lot of people roll their eyes and say, oh, the shortest month of the year actually gets to be the month devoted to black people… “ ~Soledad O’Brien
“As for ‘cutting through bull,’ Brown should have corrected O’Brien when she repeated the old radical line that somehow Black History Month is the shortest month on the calendar due to some racial slight, which completely mangles the facts. It began as “Negro History Week” and was founded by African-American historian Carter Woodson in mid-February to honor Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, whose birthdays are on the 12th and the 14th respectively.”
Apparently there are plenty of race cards still in the deck. The latest one dealt by Clyburn, implying those who oppose the stimulus package are racist.
“Clyburn also had some strong comments for Gov. Mark Sanford on why he thinks he opposed the stimulus.
The governor of Louisiana expressed opposition. Has the highest African-American population in the country. Governor of Mississippi expressed opposition. The governor of Texas, and the governor of South Carolina. These four governor’s represent states that are in the black belt. I was insulted by that,” Clyburn said. “All of this was a slap in the face of African-Americans. It had nothing to do with Governor Sanford.”
The first African American Attorney General, Eric Holder, appointed by the first African American President, called Americans a nation of cowards when it comes to race.

And one of Time’s Top 25 Best Blog picks, and Obama supporter, The Huffington Post, tried to stir up even more racial anger, by posting a video that was edited to make it seem like John Gibson was comparing Eric Holder to an escaped monkey. The blogosphere went ballistic, calling Fox racist, until they realized it was a fake.
Al Sharpton is calling for hundreds of people to be thrown out of work because he doesn’t understand who wrote the stimulus bill.
“The cartoon in today’s New York Post is troubling at best, given the racist attacks throughout history that have made African-Americans synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual inference to this form of racism when, in the cartoon, the police say after shooting a chimpanzee, “now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill.” ~Sharpton
(Sharpton is the one calling Obama a monkey, not the cartoonist. The cartoonist was calling Pelosi a monkey.)
The only African American in the US Senate is being asked to resign, because it was revealed he did, in fact, try to pay to play.
“A group of black ministers who supported U.S. Sen. Roland Burris as he fought to get his job now plan to ask for his resignation following revelations that he tried to raise money for the disgraced governor who appointed him, one of the ministers told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Many of the city’s influential black pastors supported Burris because of his scandal-free reputation — even though he was appointed by then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich three weeks after the governor was arrested for allegedly trying to sell the Senate seat.”
And one can assume these High School kids and their parents seem to have lost that hope and change fuzzy warm glowing sensation, after watching this disturbing riot that broke out at a high school basketball game.

And who can forget how the month started out with an ugly attack on pop star Rihanna, by her boyfriend Chris Brown, who was initially defended by some of his friends. I think Chris Brown lost his warm and fuzzy glow.
“Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired.” (does that sound familiar?)
TMZ.com has a photo of Rhianna, taken by the police, after the beating. The poor thing! I think she is so adorable, and this is just awful. She better press charges.
Even Ashton Kutcher, who pledged to “be a servant to Obama, and all mankind, because together we can, together we are, and togther we will be the change.” lost the glowin’ feeling.
Here he is, railing against his “f*cking dick weed neighbor” because he hired construction workers to work on his house, who started (legally) at 7am. (even though the guy tolerated the TEN years it took for Ashton to build his house.)
So, David Wright was right and wrong. People seem to have lost that post election glow, but it wasn’t the New York Post cartoon that did it.
Well, the people in this video are still basking in that post election glow. They have decided to use the word President in replace of the *N* word. But, according to one guy, white people can’t use the word President, anymore. Ever.
(is this for real?)

And check out these: 
("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
“ugly attack on pop star Rhianna,”
For the record, the correct spelling of her name is Rihanna.
typo. i type dyslexic all teh time.
see… haha But thanks, I changed it.
If that were the case, Obama and everyone else should not even consider it worth talking about. But alas. .!
The race card-the only weapon they have to create the suppression of dissent they need to get the American people to shut up and not tell the truth about the criminal theft of taxpayer’s money and the takeover of people’s lives by the government–our elected officials who know better must stand strong against this. The Sharptons and Farrakhans of the world love divisiveness, anger, violence and hatred–it keeps them in the spotlight. They need to stir the ashes and if Holder was white and said what he said he’d be gone.No one is surprised that since the market fell last week, since everyone knows what this guy is up to and they’re starting to see the protests that they’d pull out the race card–No One should apologize like the Post did.Holder, Sharpton and anybody else who plays this card should apologize to this country for tearing it down, the same country that gave them million dollar mansions to live in. We’ve had enough.
Life since Obama was elected?
Let’s see…
I live in fear of being blown off the planet literally every single day of my life. I take pills to sleep and that still doesn’t work.
The economy is in the crapper, but I have a so-called President that, rather than inspire confidence, creates mayhem, fear and uses the word “crisis” 100 times per sentence so that he can get what he wants out of the pathetic pieces of crap sheeple who voted for him.
I wake up hating America for doing this to me. Hating my scumbag fellow Americans who were too stupid, too lazy, too ignorant, too much of a bunch of freeloading crap to actually do their homework before they voted for this America hating loser.
I hate SCOTUS. They’re on the take for Obama and all I can think of is my prior respect for our justice system, Constitution, etc. that Obama, SCOTUS, the media, and all the others who have participated in the Fraud on our country, have completely destroyed. And no one cares.
I am completely disgusted by, and totally over, being called a “racist” or hearing that goddamned word every day, day in and day out, just because people want to get a free ride. I have watched my country become more and more divided than ever, and what could have been a wonderful milestone for AAs is causing me outrage, disgust and the biggest hope that it backfires and teaches them to vote substance over color next time.
The Bacon Bill has caused so much rage, anger, hatred, fear and repulsion in me that I can hardly see straight. The fact that we now have filth like Nancy Pelosi, who doesn’t need or seek anyone’s opinion before she commits generational theft on this country, is pathetic. What’s more pathetic is that none of these piece of crap reps I pay to protect me are stopping dirtbags like Pelosi and Reid from literally stealing our bank accounts.
I am tired of this country being all about welfare. I’m not paying for some loser who knew going in they couldn’t pay their mortgage. If I have to attend Chicago Tea Parties, Tax Revolts, whatever, I’m not paying for the deadbeats anymore. I have my own bills to pay. Let them rent apartments. Either that, or I want a free house too and I don’t want to work for it. Where’s my free stuff and why do I have to support everyone else who thinks the world owes them a living?
I am tired of the sick f**k left wing nuts who are so PC that Octomon stealing our money is okay, and so are the Muslims that commit honor killings. If I want to hate on those people, STFU - it’s none of your business. At least I have morals.
I’m tired of the batcrap crazy left welcoming in yet more undesirables and illegals into my country just because they need a new voting pool. I’m tired of paying for them too, and watching what they do to this country with their violence, gangs, rape of our medical system, you name it. I want them to all go home. Period.
I hate the left. Sorry, I do. The DNC and the batcrap crazy socialists running this country have shown, in one short month, that they are capable of, and desire to, completely eradicate anything and everything American. I am not big on revenge, but the greatest day of my life will be the impeachment of Obama, Reid, Pelosi and all of those who have perpetrated the biggest con job, rape and sodomy of this country in history. Ever. And why anyone every voted for that pig Pelosi I will never know. But her Waterloo will be the greatest day of my life. Period.
And before the wing nuts attack me and start blaming Bush…STFU. That’s as tired as the racist meme and I am way over it. And Bush doesn’t give a damn that you blame him anyway. He’s laughing his ass off that Obama just made him look like Reagan.
Hollywood is full of the stupid, out of touch, ignorant morons who supported this jerk because he was the American Idol President. I have really bad hopes and prayers for them too.
Life since Obama sucks. Period. Anyone who says otherwise is lying, a troll, or illiterate and doesn’t read.
Oops, forgot to add this one…
Life since the Fraud? Well, women sure did take a big step backwards, huh? We got to see Hillary take a knife to the back. Then we got to see that America is a country full of mean-spirited, vicious, cruel, unkind
bitcheswomen who chew up their own, like Palin, and spit them out. Obama usurping the White House has brought out the WORST of humanity on every single level. Every racial divide, gender divide, socio-economic divide have become worse than ever. He wouldn’t know the word “unity” if it bit him on his liar liar pants on fire britches.Aren’t you a bit over the top with this ranting? What the heck happened in your life to make you so miserable and hateful? surely it can’t all be blamed on Obama? Oh I get it, if only Hillary was POTUS, none of this would be happening, right?
No, Ellen, not if Hillary had been elected. If ANYONE with brains, compassion, love of America, experience, mental health and sanity, etc. had been elected none of this would happen. Hell, my dog would be better in the job. At least my dog is a natural born citizen lol. And I’m sure my dog gives a shit about this country. Not the Fraud and, yes, that’s why we’re in this crappy situation. Nice try troll.
Oh Please - you are certified. he hasn’t even been in office but for one month - none of this would be happening??? what are you talking about. I’m out of here - your intelligence is just too much for me.
Life after the fraud of this election? I am bitter and sad and depressed. Some days I’m angry. The women’s rights movement is dead. We just haven’t buried the corpse yet. Other groups are rising and fighting for women’s rights, but since the “allies” of women’s rights ran the most misogynist, sexist, homophobic, racist campaign in political history, I don’t foresee anything great on the horizon. Then there is the economic mess for which That One has no understanding. He’s inexperienced and he’s corrupt. He’s never shown a single important document, so much for transparency. The financial crisis on a global level. The constant accusations of racism by his supporters. The violation of the Constitution. The American hating comments. All of his behavior and his wife’s behavior has disgusted me. I can’t even look at him or Congress with any objectivity. This was the election where I voted against my Party, like so many others, and ended up changing Party affiliation, again like so many others. I don’t like to be around my relatives any more - siblings, nieces, nephews, parents, because they are Bots, and none of them would listen to me. I have learned to really hate new agers as I’ve received much idiotic ranting from them claiming That One was truly The One. Right, in a pig’s eye. I’ve dropped friendships and now I’m stocking up, reading all of LD’s posts and learning more economics than I’ve ever known. I think with That One at the helm there is very little hope for the kind of change we need in this country or in the global community.
Amen. Mega Dittoes to you and yours for saying all the things I have been thinking and feeling since November 4. And before the rest of you go thinking I am a right wing wacko, just know that I started out the primary season pulling for Hillary.
You’re not a right wing wacko…it’s called being a goddamned AMERICAN and I started out supporting Hillary with all of my life and breath too.
It’s too bad the left wing batcrap crazy idiots hate America. Good for them. What I am actually happy about, the one bit of good news, is that suddenly all of these true patriots are rising up to take this country back. It’s about damned time. We should have gotten rid of Reid, Pelosi and all those other thieves back when Freddie and Fannie started. But this bleeding heart screwed up country wouldn’t let McCain and Bush have oversight of that criminal enterprise designed to hand over free houses to freeloaders.
On that note…great article…
“American Idle” which is kind of fitting for the “American Idol” so called “President.”
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/02/american_idle.html
A world where we co-exist in perfect harmony. Where African Americans feel proud. Where charges of racism no longer exist. Where people put down their differences, and view the world differently. Where people pledged to live better, and respect each other and be better people.
So, how’s that been working out?
I can’t believe Obama hasn’t been able to solve the worst economic crisis since the 1930’s, solve global warming, fix entitlements, get us out of two wars, and end racial strife in 30 days. I mean, what’s he been doing?
I can’t believe Obama hasn’t been able to solve the worst economic crisis since the 1930’s, solve global warming, fix entitlements, get us out of two wars…
Yes, cuz those are EXACTLY the issues I was discussing in my post.
What exactly ARE you trying to get across in this post American Girl?
I can’t believe that Hoodwinker’s only been inhabiting the WH for 30 days - but really, the hype for this man was, shall we say, embarrassing for us as a nation.
Well, Johnny the Troll, he’s been flying all over the country, costing us money. You know, like that $250,000 date with MeChelle he just had to have. Maybe if the brain dead zombie “President” would have actually read the generational theft Bacon Bill, he might have had SOME kind of input in it. But, no, he just ran around playing Chicken Fucking Little telling us all the sky was falling, and we would all be dead tomorrow if he didn’t get his Pork. Yeah, great job. Can’t wait until 30 days becomes four years. He’ll be toast, if he isn’t indicted, arrested, convicted for all of his criminal crap.
Yeah, like there wasn’t some nice restarant in the DC area good enough to feed the princess without firing up Obamaforce 1 and costing us all money. I am sure there was a chef somewhere around there just thrilled to kneel down to feed the princess and kiss her butt just to cook for them.
It cost the taxpayers $600,000 for Obama to fly out to Denver to sign the Swindle-us bill, when he could have simply woke up in our now defiled White House, walked down the hall, and signed the damn thing in the Oval Office. He may think he’s great, but he’snot.
That’s not a typo.
I can’t believe the pretend POTUS has been spending so much time yapping on and on (until I want to poke holes through my ear drums) and then jet-set in lieu of rolling up his sleeves and actually working for us–his employers.
Oh, he has others do the heavy lifting for him. Nice work if you can lie to get it, I suppose.
Try another line of employment, troll, as you aren’t making friends and influencing people here, hence wasting That One’s “hard-earned” money.
Pathetically embarrasing behavior all around. At what hour of the day would Master Kutcher think a carpenter should begin working? My brother is a carpenter and his day always begins around 7 A.M.
Some people have no concept of working for a living.
I used to like baby-face Ashton. Well, now I’m finished with him. He’s just a spoiled brat and he appeared to be hung-over. Kutcher should be ashamed of his behavior and his language. Demi needs to put him in the time-out chair and take away his X-Box for a week!
BTW–I get up everyday @ 5:30 A.M. and commute 100 miles roundtrip for my job.
.
Well done AGII! Well done!
And then came the global financial crisis, rendering everything else trivial. Unfortunately, the trivial can still be utilized as a distraction.
Then came?? Where have you been? Under a rock? The crisis has been coming for quite some time. If Obummer had been in the Senate, doing his job, instead of running for President for the last two years, it wouldn’t have come as such a shock to him. He could also have had ready to go legislation to deal with it. But nooooo.. he is apparently allergic to office work. Found his Senate job “boring” after the new glow wore off. So instead of a workaholic policy wonk, which is what we NEED right now, we have Mr. Teleprompter jetting around the country at our expense giving silly speeches about how giving away the Treasury to his special friends will make it all better. It won’t. But that doesn’t matter. He will still get all the perks and the pension, no matter what sort of a mess he leaves behind him. And that is all he cares about. If he cared about doing his job, he would be in Washington, working.
Yes, of course. Everybody saw it coming. I presume that includes every elected republican in the House and Senate?
From what I understand, every republican and democrat called into Paulson’s initial emergency meeting was totally blindsided by what he told them. They didn’t have a clue what had been going on in the financial industry.
Hillary did. She warned two years ago, before she started her campaign, that the housing bubble was going to collapse and we were going to have huge problems because of it. She was right.
are you kidding me? there is so much video footage of McCain and the Repubs. screaming about it you would have to stick your head under a rock to not know it. Hell the Bush administration went before congress back 2002 to warn something had to be done about Freddie and Fannie and the Dems blocked the legislation.
not that you idiots care about the truth.

I’m feeling so warm and fuzzy that I need to strip down and shave my body!
Wait…it must be menopause…
Nah, menopause makes you want to strip down and kill people. It doesn’t make you warm and fuzzy.. warm yes, very warm, fuzzy..not so much.
Yes it does! Fuzzy in the wrong places! Lol!
fuzzy in the head maybe Jackarooty?
Wow. You didn’t take your anti-cranky pill, did you? My original comment was an ironic one. Get it???
I think that “loving feeling” is marching right out the door. But then, you have to ask was that “loving feeling” for real or the product of hype and mindless euphoria?
I say the latter, which is why I never jumped on the train to begin with. The truly deluded wanted everyone to believe that all racial problems would be solved by electing an African American as POTUS. John Kerry said as much when he proclaimed Obama’s main credential as a candidate was because he was a black man [that public comment still floors me]. And both Barack Obama and the MSM repeated the meme of a “post-racial” president. Inexperience was heralded as a virtue, and a man who had no credible leadership experience is now at the helm of the US with problems galore.
The NY Post cartoon and the predictable reaction from Al Sharpton and his minions is a perfect example of the desire of some to make a career out of the “racial divide.” It’s the little engine that could and keeps us all distracted and angry and outraged. At the wrong things.
Where did that loving feeling go? Poof. Like so much fog, it’s being burned off by the sunlight. Barack Obama was never a magician. Just another politician with nice words and too much ambition.
And until he shows some real leadership qualities rather than faux star power, I won’t be a believer.
Good piece, AGI.
But who keeps dragging the all hopey lollipop good feelings down and causing the problems? Sharpton, Holder, Brown, the high school students, etc, etc, etc.
It would appear that it’s going to take more than Fraudbama being handed the election to turn the blacks opinions of themselves around. Change starts within or didn’t Obama make that clear.
This is very good and timely, AGI.
Thanks!
Thanks AGI…I wrote a long post but it went to the Spam Monster spin cycle.
Care to hear what Obama and America’s owner, George Soros, says about the financial situation that he himself helped create?

Soros=the new
Hitlerhe who must not be named.Hell, the very idea perpetrated by blacks and told to blacks that they “needed” to vote for That One to improve their self-esteem is as racist as anything I’ve ever heard coming from a white.
The whole race issue was a neon-bright red herring.
Here’s the top headline from Mark Halperin’s blog The Page:
I think that headline has a racial overtone. Call Al Sharpton now.
Al’s on the way to Teterboro right now, where the TAWANA BRAWLEY II is warming up on the ramp.
Everyone wants that warm fuzzy lovin feeling for neighbor and community until it comes time to pay the bill. Which is always the problem with us isn’t it. We want all sorts of things as long as someone else is paying for it or doing the work.
We have “Not my Job”, “Not in My Backyard”, Not with My Tax Dollar”. However, we want health care, the economic crisis fixed, good education for all of our children, help with college, less dependence on foreign oil, and a cleaner environment ad naseum.
You were not describing me… who has worked since I was 15 and put myself through private college and now own my own business. And, that is not what I teach my children. They are learning to be self sufficient, self reliant, socially responsible and charitable (voluntarily). Oh, they are also learning the Constition/Bill of Rights inside and out, frontwards and backwards as well as writings from our founding fathers. We have our plan if and when it all goes south and no where in that equation have we included the government’s help.
Athena-you are the kind of person that made America great. Your children are lucky to have a parent like you. Keep up the good work.
If what happened in New Orleans and the Gold Coast did not wake one up to that reality, then the gig is up.
Watching all the people in the “black belt” (Read the ninth ward, you shmuck Clyburn) and having eyewitness accounts of other trends of civil disorder and anarchy, I am stunned I tell you that that gold coast is not being funded as it should.
I can’t tell you how offensive Clyburn is to me; sterotyping a 100’s of square miles of America as some segragated “no go” area because some states Governor decided not to be obligated to the Fed’s largess and all the strings attached.
Ant the Attorney call me a coward??? Yes, I take that personally. There are racial problems, he is one of them along with BO. They a quart short of being a dipstick.
Lets review;
BO renegs on FISA and now has maintained Bush pleadings.
Turbo Man
HHS Sec…NOT.
Sen “can’t be myself” Greg
Sec energy Chu not oil and “coal is my worst nightmare”.
Ok then.
Holbroke. “didn’t learn of the Pakistani’s allowing the taliban to run amuck.” until he was on a plane ride around the region.

The last video is a parody. It was meant to be funny and really is if you watch it carefully.
Unity ponies are dropping like flies.
Who perpetrated a systematic financial fraud that robbed America blind?
Don’t blame the poor, or blacks, or the working class or middle class. They’re victims.
Don’t blame the wealthy who made their wealth by actually contributing something useful to society. They’ve been halved or worse and stand to lose much more.
Don’t blame Obama, turned up just as the sh-t hit the fan. He’s working every angle he can to try to patch a severely wounded economy back together. He’s said he may be a one-term president. What’s required won’t be politically popular. He doesn’t like much of it himself. He was a PayGo supporter, remember? He’s resisting bank nationalization on principle, as another example.
The irony is that the people actually responsible have quietly slipped into the background, taking the fortunes they bled out of America and the global economic system with them. Unscrupulous loan originators, rotten loan bundlers, respected financial and investment companies that knowingly flooded the economy with phony trillions in worthless derivative financial instruments…
Except for a few high-profile people caught with their hands in the cookie jar, we’ll never even know their names.
More’s the pity that our new POTUS wasn’t even partially involved with drafting the stimu-less bill. Blame whomever you want, the buck stops @ the desk in the Oval Office. If BO didn’t realize that he needed to actually be involved with the writing of the bill, SHAME on him. That’s not the kind of leadership or judgement that America desperately needs. I pray he is a one termer…from your lips to God’s ears.
I’ll save my energy for prayers that what he’s trying works. Otherwise he might be a one-termer for reasons neither of us really wants to think about.
What; The reason no one wants to acknowledge the elephant in the room or that the Empreror has no cloths? Those?
I am stuck thinking about them as the piticulars bear directly on my families well being and the same of my fellow citizens.
Prayers aside. Respectfully.
Victims? NOPE.
Unscrupulous loan originators, rotten loan bundlers, respected financial and investment companies that knowingly flooded the economy with phony trillions in worthless derivative financial instruments …
Sounds like the people BO hangs around with.
If you say BO was PayGo, you do understand what that means in Chicago political parlance?
When you talk of wonderful worlds you always forget women’s rights. A wonderful world is a place where black and white people (men obviously)can coexist and feel proud (of themselves)but women are still slaves?? just wonder
Women have always been and continue to be the most marginalized population in our society. Children continue sadly to be the most abused. The successes and sufferings of women have always been reliant upon the will of man. Women are still viewed as property. Some cultures are more covert than others but the basic concept remains the same throughout the world.
Women have experienced injustice and inequality based on gender since the beginning of time.
It must end–for our beloved daughters, mothers, and sisters.
I thought the cartoonist was making fun of Congress, but who know what the NY Post is likely to come up with. Should have just considered the source there.
Eric Holder needs to just shut his stupid mouth. He’s the damn AG, not Preacher in Chief of Race Relations.
For sure. He certainly sounds like he doesn’t have nearly enough to occupy his time. Next thing you know, in his boredom he’ll put the drapery back on the statuary.
We can and should blame BO for the last 30 days and whatever else he does from now on to sell our country out to a bunch of socialist elites. Nobody asked him to leave the Senate and run for an office that he has no business running for, nobody asked him to spout all that crap about hope and change and being the anti-Bush when he is doing the same thing Bush has done, nobody asked him to hijack the Democratic party with his Chicago thugs and steal the nomination from HRC, nobody asked him to appoint some of the worst excuses for Cabinet members in history and the worst advisers(Summers run out of Lithuania in the 90’s for ruining their economy), nobody asked him to use the criminal ACORN to register the same voter 72 times over and over, nobody asked him to lie about everything from FISA to NAFTA to Guantanamo to transparency and nobody asked him to steal 2 trillion dollars for every bit of pork Pelosi, Axelrod and Reid can come up with. If this is hope and change give me despair and the status quo.
Just as a follow-up to the conversation on racial politics, I just picked up a piece at the NY Times. And I confess, this article made me groan out loud. But here it is in all its glory. And then, we wonder why this is an on-going, intractable discussion point.
Link is here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/21/opinion/21blow.html?_r=2
But fair warning. This is the sort of pseudo-social science that drives me beserk. And, of course, if you don’t buy into it, you’re obviously a secret racist.
As long as this sort of junk food is fed to people at large as the Gospel truth, we will never have any real or productive change.
I honestly do not know what you find so offensive about this NY Times article…what he discusses is hardly ‘pseudo-social science’ - he shows several studies that have been done, showing how people ’say’ they feel. Who is calling anyone a racist? I think you are being a little too sensitive here - why don’t you get a life and stop reading the NY Times if these kinds of articles get you so upset?
As I lean upon the handle of shovel I ask:
Who would have thought that Unity Pony Shit was so copious, malodorous and tough to shovel?
Who will haul it away?
