So the article suggests that Michelle knows her place and Barack doesn't know his. The article sounds like sexist and racial bullshit.
Ok, so Rush, Handjob, Drudge and their mindless minions are going to blame President Obama for the $165 million bonuses to AIG execs that most of the RIGHT-WING CABAL supports. The t rolls are already telegraphing the next nontroversy.
Simpletons.
or the races of the defendants and their alleged victims were different. The disparities, I imagine, would be greater. Genarlow Wilson, anyone?
Way to go Joan. First you publish Camille Paglia and now this racist crackpot. Bravo.
That's not enough for some bigots, I guess. In another case, I wonder what would have happened to the three white boys who murdered a mexican man, if the judge in the case had been someone of color. Would he or she have set aside that stupid and obviously biased verdict of not guilty of a hate crime when it was entered into EVIDENCE that the boys picked a fight with the kid because he was Mexican?
God help us if an all male court revisits Roe v Wade.
I'm sick of racist white cops and DAs. Why are whites given lighter sentences for the same crimes perpetrated by minorities? I'm sick of white female pedophiles being given a slap on the wrist. We need a justice system that is competent and fair. When white males, specifically white conservative males, are in key decision-making roles (ie. Bush Administration's justice department and the Simi Valley all-white jury in the Rodney King case), people of color are doomed.
White liberals outraged over a joke at the expense of a guy who said on his radio show that President Obama gave Prime Minister Brown "anal poisoning" tells me more about these phoney white liberals and their outrage is more offensive to me than Ms. Sykes' joke. Where are all to outrageous anti-PC cries from the white MSM?????????? Oh that's right, that for jokes aimed at minorities.
to joke about Rush's drug habit and obsession with anuses;
to call Gov. Palin a pig in lipstick, and
to talk about Mitt Romney's magic underwear?
Sarah Palin
Clarence Thomas
Michelle Steele
and so on...
I want to see test scores and transcripts for the following caucasians;
Ann (or Andrew) Coulter
Newt Gringrich
Rush Limbaugh
Karl Rove
and others.
Based on what we've heard, I'm not so sure these people are smart enought to be admitted to or matriculate through an accredited university. While we are at it, let's make all college admissions and certain hiring records public. I think the results might surprise some bigots and confirm things most people of color already know.
Now I am convinced that "feminism" is a term defined and used by silly vapid white women. If Angie can "have it all", I guess some call girls can "have it all" too.
He will never get another dime or vote from me. He was right the first time. But he walked back his comments because like many black men, he is a coward. White people will cheer him on when he's talking tough to black audiences, but if that Ne gro steps out of his place and talk about Racial Profiling, you hypo crites trip. Obama can kiss it.
A wizened crone who claims now to be a spiritual libertarian is making excuses for wh ite racists. The Gates affair was about governmental authority invading a man's home because said governmental authority didn't like his attitude. Switch Officer Fiction writer and Dr. Gate's races, ole Page view would be screeching about reverse racism!
Typical.
Camille is a rightwing libertarian pretending to be a democrat in order to bash democrats to win plaudits from right-wingers. Its pretty obvious when she fawns over a bigot like Rush Limbaugh.
Good job.
I'm sick of people with their "we can't hold historical figures up to modern standards" bullshit. Yes we can. There were whites who believed blacks were chattel and there were white who unpopularly and courageously challenged that garbage thinking like John Brown and other abolitionists. White jews, like Sophie Tucker, thought donning black makeup and calling herself "Queen of the Coons" in an effort to dehumanize and debase blacks for entertainment was appropriate. Other white jews were critical in the establishment of the NAACP.
"Birth of a Nation" was the most vile racist hatefilled piece of garbage to ever come out of Hollywood. I'm sure ignorant white liberals and conservatives alike want us to judge this bile by early 20th century cultural standards. No thanks.
I give no passes to people who are on the wrong side of history or human rights. I especially give no passes to Jews who should have known better in the earlier part of the 20th century.
I'm just sayin'.
What is sloppy is giving a complete pass to people like the Sophie Tuckers and Al Jolsons for "cooning" their way to riches at the expense of blacks while not acknowledging that other whites during that time rejected this foolishness. Complex? Maybe, but not really. Pull your head out of your ass.
"People went to minstrel shows because they liked to see what black people were like, many of whom had never seen such, and because it was good music and an entertaining show."
I suppose if one wanted to find out what white Americans are like, one could watch the Blue Collar Comedy Tour or Tool Academy on VH1. Right??
I guess white trolls hate Bill Cosby now. He was ok when he was lecturing to blacks but now....uh oh. I guess they will stop quoting him and start using Thomas Sowell now. Tom is a reliable good negro. I'm sure they continue to quote one line from one speech MLK made in Washington D.C., after all, he's dead.
Paging any white comedian...any...
