A little backstory, in case you haven’t heard about the Compton Cookout or the latest outrage at UCSD: A party called the Compton Cookout “was held off-campus near the University of California San Diego, and the firestorm it has created has been massive: Protest marches, teach-ins, protesters who walked out of the teach-ins and campus [...]

And These Comments By Senator Reid Are Not Racist How? »

I just barely know where to start with this recent revelation about Senator Harry Reid. I will leave it to the headline to explain why Reid is in hot water now: Reid Apologizes For ‘Negro dialect’ Comment; Reid apologized Saturday for remarks he made about then-candidate Barack Obama. Washington (CNN) – Senate Majority Leader Harry [...]

What A Bunch Of Racist Hicks Here In South Cackalacky »

At least according to my representative, Jim Clyburn. Let me just say that this is not at ALL what I had planned to write about this morning. I was going to write about the Senate Finance Committee voting on a bill that hasn’t even been written out yet, more a theoretical bill, if you will [...]

How Well Do You Know Yourself? »

Apologies all for my prolonged absence – getting married, changing jobs, moving apartments and turning 30 years old are to blame (and, just in case you were wondering, they were awesome, good, not so good and great, respectively). And while I’m at it, forgive me also for flogging a dead horse with the above.

The Watering Down of “Racist” »

(bumped up from Tuesday morning) Funk & Wagnall’s Dictionary Definition of racism: A belief in or advocacy of the superiority or inferiority of a particular group on the basis of supposed racial differences. Not so much anymore…

Them’s Fightin’ Words »

By now, most everyone has heard that President Carter claimed people who don’t support Obama do so because they are racists. Wow. Obviously, this is shocking on the face of it. If you have not heard this, the video is below. I also recommend two very good posts on this topic, one by pm317, and [...]

hey, liberal media! you might want to quit delegitimizing the president… »

Let me set aside my media designated “white cloak” for a moment, and offer some advice for Obama supporters. Every time one of you (liberal media) label criticism of Obama as racist, you are the ones hurting Obama. Barack Obama is not the Black President of America. He is the President of the United States [...]

gates-gate: the tale of the tape »

This is part two of the post I wrote yesterday, obama: i don’t know anything about it, except the white cop acted stupidly. New information has been released, and more interviews have been given.

obama: i don’t know anything about it, except the white cop acted stupidly »

(Comments closed – please use “open thread – Obama Press Conference”) By now you’ve heard about the arrest of Henry Gates. But did you hear that Obama, while admitting he didn’t know the facts, said the Police acted “stupidly”. How the hell does he know? He doesn’t even know the facts! Heck, he doesn’t even [...]

Checking The Right Boxes »

(Bumped up from this morning) Given last November’s election result, qualifications obviously have little relevance any more. And why not? What do qualifications, y’know, those certificates of education, achievement and intelligence, actually tell us about someone that we cannot infer from that person’s smile, charisma and, dare I say it, skin color?

Some Apologies from the Obamamedia Are in Order for Falsely Accusing New Hampshire Primary Voters of Racism »

Today the American Association for Public Opinion Research Ad Hoc Committee on the 2008 Presidential Primary Polling released a pdf report on the methodologies utilized by pollsters during the Democratic primaries. It is a long report, and a cursory analysis of it is available at Pollster.com. Much of the report focuses on the discrepancy between [...]

life since obama was elected »

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 [...]
