Debra,
So far, we know you can't stand Barack Obama. Or his wife. You've told us enough about it, ad nauseum, here on Salon.
You've already written about your children, and your confusion about them racially.
Now we have this piece.
Frankly, could you be any more negative about your own race?
Is there ANYTHING positive you can say about being African-American/black/insert the "Debra Dickerson preferred and approved terminology of the day" here?
Anything?
No, I didn't think so.
P.S. I'm SO glad that I didn't have to work with you. I have to wonder if haranguing your coworkers about their lunches and weight was the least irritating part of your presence.... You really do come off like a HUGE P.I.T.A. in every way...
