  Black Booty Chauvinism

  I cannot believe that Salon published this crap. I canNOT believe this is the same site that publishes Glenn Greenwald and Juan Cole. I imagine that in the author's shallow mind that she was being edgy and sticking it to the white man with a crude form of black booty chauvinism. (Personally, I like black booties that I can cup my hands around). There is a segment of the black immaturegencia such as Tom Joiner, commedians and gangsta rappers that make their living throwing things up in white people's faces in a sophomore in high school sort of way. However, they are opening the doors for everyone to objectify Black women in the same way that the slave masters did in the old days. Can I now talk about the African sweat that emanates from Michelle's booty? What about an ass-off? Let's see pictures of Michelle's black booty and Erin's black booty and Joan Walsh's tender vanilla booty and let the readers vote on which one they would like to hump. I could go on and on. If Joan Walsh thinks this is such a worthy topic, why doesn't she bring it up on the Rachel Maddow show. Surely, it would top the ratings and I am also sure that the boys at Fox news would pick it up. Is this anyway to start a new beginning? CAn you believe we're discussing this instead of health care reform and torture. Joan - save these articles for the sluthouse. Glenn- Leave while you still can before they start analyzing your penis.
