    Obama, Tiger and White America

    Why is it that some things bore folks very soon, and others remain in mind and awareness forever? There has been abundant rebuttal rebuttal of the lies, misinterpretations and racist hogwash about Obama, his religion, his thoughts, beliefs and plans. People who says they don't know enough about him seem to know everything about Cindy, Idol,the Simpsons, and every "celeb" in the nation.

    Americans who want to remember lies and propaganda will do so until Hell freezes. Forget the Neanderthals and search for "intelligent life" elsewhere. If there is any.

    Tiger Woods, another multi-cultured American's, knee injury is totally a "talking point."

    I recommend Tim Wise's (White Like Me) latest essay to white women who prefer to vote for McCain or "stay home" rather than vote for Obama. His essay is a masterpiece, as usual.

    We have a few, excellent, informed thinkers around. I agree with your editor's choice, Give them enough "air-time." Wise's piece is not only for white women. Their counterparts, "white males," need a snoot-full of reality, as well.
