I myself will be calling BObama, HUssein... It's the only thing that will detract from this insane and annoying cloying to concepts of race every time he comes up. Fine, it is a topic to discuss, but can we please try to avoid fatigue.

Brazile's words were no less inane than anyone elses.... cliched Proud statement about Black People "Lifting People Up" and being "Listed Up". Gimme a break. Lets get lifted.

The subtle and genious way to take down Obama is to harp on race consistantly. We can bring out the goony clueless old cracker jacks and throaty spiritual black pundits fast as can be by ringing this bell (Or saying "Candyman" into the mirror three times). When will the same goofs who months ago, said white people could never even nominate a black person now come out gushing about Obama's success story? How long before I have to hear the phrase "Strong Proud African Brother" on a local cable talk show? When Salon's own best black friend Debra Dickerson, featured herein not a few months ago saying Obama wasn't truly blackrican american, appears on a major program, I officially ... well, can't change my vote, what with Crackerbee and the corporate creep (move title copyrighted!)......

Forget anything you may have ignored I wrote before! How soon before:

O'Reilly or Rush asserts that some black folks are actually hoping Obama loses, because if he won it would rain on their Victinhood parade.

Mark my words.... this scenerio discussion is soon to follow!

"Does a victory for Obama wreak havoc in the propped up, so-called, 'civil rights' community?

There is no 'so-called' about it... she is not very charming. Al Gore was not very charming.

This does not mean she is unqualified, but there just isn't a questioon that she comes across like the stereotypical, grating human reesources manager.

Salon, meanwhile, is rightfully derided for having callously followed the footspeps of their media cohorts in ignoring Edwards. I don't think Salon is quite as guilty of Clinton-boostering as some suggest, but y'all certainly have followed in steadfastly looking away from Edwards.

Edwards should produce a campaign theme featuring him preening (or queening) and combing his hair, with the tagline: "Edwards: The Invisible Man."

It IS only sports, and, as much as I love it, I am not sure broadcasts of sporting events, even large ones such as the world cup, are anymore more than metaphors for larger economic questions.

But, a similar and more clear such equation, is the overwhelming predominance of Brazilian music, movie and culture pervasive in Portugal. The much larger market as all but overwhelmed tiny portugal in this respect, over the past few decades.

Except that having a major supportor of a campaign appear to make racially questionable statements is more likely to hurt the one the speaker is in support of. Hence why some people suggested anti-catholic push-polling/dirty tricks in the midwest, ,presumeably to discredit McCain during the Republican primaries, were actually initiated by McCain.

Or did we not think about this?

No... I wouldn't have thought that or 'known who he was talking about' because likely he wouldn't have been.

I myself have accused male friends of 'flirting' with strangers when casually chatting with said stranger, male or female, at a pub. Some of us are capable of metaphor, and, clearly, some not.

Ah, my friend: an offensive mouth does not a successful polemicist make and a successful polemicist, alone, does not social change make.

At any rate, you incisive attempts to challenge by skirting the fringes of offensiveness (use of redneck, assertion of caucasions as not capable of being humanist leaders) are duly noted. Alas, I would suggest your behaviour, rather than progressive and constructive would really rather be what Fanon described as the oppessive SadoMasochistic relationship between white (men) and black (men). Do you not rememeber your 'Black Skin, White Masks?' Clearly not as you opt to carry on bearing your 'Arsenal of Complexes.'

But since some haev decided to take it back into the early 1900s and before, certainly you would concur John Brown as a progressive caucasion working as a leader for civil rights, among other caucasoid martyrs and such since that time. To take us away from our amerocentrism, one could not say that 'Turks played a great part in commencement toward reparations to the Armenian community, as, on its face, the assertion is madness.' Nonetheless, a good number of Turkish scholars have indeed provided great progress forward in this matter, most recently Taner Akcam authoring of 'A Shameful Act.'

But uhhh, where was I going...
