Brack Obama’s longtime spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, brought his public rehab campaign to a dinner held by the Detroit chapter of the NAACP Sunday night:
“I am not one of the most divisive” black spiritual leaders, he said. “I’m one of the most descriptive.”
Actually, Wright is a floor wax and a dessert topping.
He opened with a jab at the “corporate-owned media,” though he gave a shout out to CNN’s Roland Martin and Soledad O’Brien. Granted, CNN used to be owned by a crazy old man named Ted, but it is now owned by Time-Warner, which is (iirc) a corporation.  Martin is a “life-long friend†of Wright, though Martin apparently never disclosed this in the fawning coverage he has given Wright on CNN.
But let’s get to the descriptive part of the speech:
He acted out the differences between marching bands at predominantly black and predominantly white colleges. “Africans have a different meter, and Africans have a different tonality,” he said. Europeans have seven tones, Africans have five. White people clap differently than black people. “Africans and African-Americans are right-brained, subject-oriented in their learning style,” he said. “They have a different way of learning.” And so on.
After jokingly mocking the Boston accents of former Presidents John F. and Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., Wright said, “nobody says to a Kennedy, ‘You speak bad English,’ only to a black child was that said.”
That would come as a surprise to Vaughn Meader, if he was still alive. More generally, the notion that white pols are never accused of poor language skills might come as a surprise to Pres. Bush.ÂÂ
Even more generally, if a Pat Robertson or a John Hagee gave a widely-publicized speech opining on the relative rhythm and musicality of blacks and whites, or talking about how blacks learn with their right brain, there would be a firestorm of criticism and the establishment media would immediately question John McCain as to whether he would denounce the remarks, etc. Obama agreed yesterday that his relationship with Wright was a “legitimate political issue,†and Wright has been closer to Obama than Hagee has ever been to McCain, but I would not hold my breath waiting for a media feeding frenzy.
Wright also declared:
“I am not running for the Oval Office. I’ve been running for Jesus a long, long time, and I’m not tired yet.”
The “running for Jesus” would explain why Wright is claiming he has been subjected to a “public crucifixion.” I had no idea Obama had competition for the role of Messiah. So far, the press does not seem to be scrutininzing Wright’s second coming.
Update: Allah-lanche!

This latest is a further demonstration of Wright’s biggest flaw.
No, not racism or Marxism or religious intolerance or serial America hating. Now that he has seized the opportunity to present himself on the national stage he joins the likes of Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton in demostrating their over arching concern.
Feeding their own egos.
One wonders how Obama is feeling these days when, spying the distant panorama of a political landscape free of Wright and his association, his beloved mentor is working hard to throw him under the bus by initiating a traveling circus designed to rehabilitate his own image rather than “stick to his knitting” by giving sermons to the oppressed choir.
Instead the poor senator from illinios is treated to a four part harmony of continued sound bites that further erode his campaign’s ability to reframe the controversy as “taken out of context” and “I’ve already answered those questions at length.” Having demonstrated his control freakish nature when it comes to inconvenient questions and squishy policy pronouncements and having just refused Hillary’s demand for a Texas Cage Match style debate one wonders if he is becoming mired in the political arugula of inconvenient and unmolded inquiries.
It couldn’t happen to a more hopefull, unified fraud.

I’d say it’s safe to say that Wright is a bona fide racist, but that would miss the real point. Don’t send your time thinking gangsta, when you should be thinking huckster.
You have to realize that pastors of black churches often think of their congregants in a niggardly or “less than” terms, its part of the huckster role that demands “no noise” or “paper-only” in the basket. Meanwhile in order to maintain the “cash cow,” they preach a doctrine that keeps blacks from moving to a better place, with ideas like the anti-middleclassness until he eventually retires to a 10,000 sq ft mansion in a gated community of more than 90% white neighbors. His form of racism is a tool of a black pastor to keep blacks down using whites to triangulate while he plays a Moses who has no intention of getting them to the promise land.
When you finally realize that Obama’s 20 year apprentice in hucksterism at Trinity Church was to gain “street cred” and train his skills at manipulating, starting with the black community, it becomes clear why he spend 20 years there becoming a modern day carpetbagger. There only real major difference between Wright and Obama is that Wright thinks within the confines of a pastor, while Obama is trying to expand to a whole country.

Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 4/28 @ 7:14 am #
Neo: That is a reasonable analysis which, combined with my “ego” comment reflects the broad brush self promoting vision of Wright and his ilk.
The “middleclassness” portion of the the TUCC’s mission statement is a classic ass covering. the statement promotes “middleincomeness” as a means to an end, mainly economic power. By eschewing “middleclassness” and not participating in the broad swath of non racially identified daily life (and, thus, run the risk of forgetting your “oppressed” brothers and sisters,) Wright and his ilk have the rhetorical cover to build million dollar mansions and live in 90% white communities while still retaining the authentic “voice of the oppressed” in their most radical statements.
It’s a sickly genius in it’s juxtaposition of personal financial success and identity politics writ large.

Copy and paste should not take that long. You have only about 4-5 different comments, on the same topics.
Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 4/28 @ 7:33 am #
Nishi, you are missing the point. In fact, you have laid out a much more effective argument (one I vehemntly disagree with) in saying that you are not voting for Wright and dismiss him as a fringe crazee.
Do I have to attempt to link to comment after comment of Obama supporters playing the “taken out of context” card? Their mindset is different than yours. They are concerned that everything associated with the Obamessiah be righteous and true, thus they are unable to take the very same step that Obama took and distance themselves from Wright’s statements. These minions are so enraptured with the hopey changey that nothing can deter them from the rightness of the candidate. Therefore, they continue to make an argument designed to explain the “wrongness” in quoting Wright while their own candidate has distanced himself and wants the whole thing to just go away!
This level of synchophantic devotion is on the order of a delusion or obsession. They fail to see how this line of defense continues to hurt their candidate.
Yes, it’s true, nishi. You and I will agree on very little but if you are really going to do Obama some good, dismissing Wright as a nut is the way to go. That forces us to argue about the connections and the relationship rather than just posting the context of Wright’s remarks which only makes them look worse and keeps the entire kerfuffle in the public eye.
I still think you are wrong about this but can at least acknowledge a better defense than the desperate context apologizors.

No, it’s that for 20 years Obama sat in this guy’s church, listening to this crap. Twenty years implies approval, acceptance, agreement.
The more Wright is exposed for who he is, for what he believes, the more people should ask, “WTF was Obama doing funding this guy to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars? WTF was he doing attending this church?!”
I find it ironic that the left, so terrified of religious zealots they consider even the moderately faithful to be anathema, have decided to be blind to a truly dangerous demagogue cloaking himself in religious trappings. Is it the color of his skin, or the politics of his preaching?
Comment by Charles Nickalopoulos on 4/28 @ 7:56 am #

Comment by ThomasD on 4/28 @ 8:03 am #
It’s not mere self gratification for Wright. Having now regained his own space through the Moyers interview Wright is going to capitalize on his fifteen minutes of fame.
How else to explain his crucifiction line? An ostensible Christian pastor comparing his individual trials and tribulations (ones he appears to have survived intact) to those of his saviour? A man who, you know, actually died in the process. That line wasn’t meant to be descriptive, much less provocative; it was entirely inflammatory and meant to further drive a wedge between BLT based faith and the mainstream of Christianity.
Wright wants to remain ‘oppressed,’ he wants to perpetuate identity politics, and I often wonder if he secretly wants Obama to go down in flames; if only to serve as an object lesson to his target audience that the black man should never think himself part of the society as a whole.

Wright. I was very impressed with his intellect and the content of his message. Those opposed to Obama will continue to express their opinion and that is fine.

Untrue. I don’t see Obama as overtly militant.

Or, more to the point, reflexively or even deliberately race-baiting.
But I guess that whether he’s black enough to be taken as militant is a matter that’s under some dispute.

I find it impossible to believe that Obama was unaware of his views on such matters since Wright appears to express these kinds of corrosive ideas often and this post demonstrates.

I heard Rev. Wright’s speech (& follow up question & answer period) at the Nat’l Press Club in Wash. D.C. today (4/28/08)on live TV. This is an arrogant, combative, angry black man who showed nothing but contempt for America. During this speech, Wright spoke of the differences between blacks & whites.. It reminded me of the Natzi propaganda films about the differences between Jews & non Jews. Wright’s speech was one of the most racist, devisive things I’ve ever heard. He had a lame excuse or sleazy evasion for everything he’s been questioned about. He showed nothing but admiration for the avowed racist & anti- semite hate-monger Louis Farrakhan.
The fact that Obama, even after all these public revelations, continues to maintain his membership in that church & keep Rev Wright as his family’s Pastor disqualifies Obama from ever having my vote for any public office. As for Wright, Yea, We had slavery in parts of this country. It stopped what? 120 years ago. Stop pretending it happened to you & Get Over It!

So how can a ‘lifelong friend’ of Rev. Wright, be considered an objective observer of same. Anyone get the vibe from “Clear & Present Danger” where Ryan counsels President Bennett to say that his slain former business partner
and moneylaunderer for drug dealer, was
a ‘close. lifelong’ friend to block press investigation of the connection.
Comment by Carin TWPBH on 4/28 @ 10:28 am #
Candice, pay no attention to the Lost Dog. I’m terribly interesting in your POV. I think Wright could do much for the negrosaround the world; specifically in Africa. Perhaps if he sold his million dollar house and went on a mission? TRUTH TO POWER!
Comment by JohnAnnArbor on 4/28 @ 10:28 am #
Rev. Wright apparently missed the “humility” parts of Christ’s ministry.

57: It’s a black thing, right?
Ill give you some credit, it was 100% red-meat for that audience; no dogwhistles for the rev. Which says precisely all you need to know about that audience, and by default, the Dem. party, since without the black vote, the dems are not a national political party.
If Obama wants to win the nomination, he’ll let the good rev. continue to do his thing:100% victim, forward looking outrage, absolutely no acknowledgment its whitey’s fault, blame the media–all the tropes.
If he wants to be POTUS, He’ll shut Wright’s ass up on the hop.

Man, I just can’t stop myself:
long as i get to listen to brother wright speak truth to power, head bloody but unbowed from all you silly non-intellectuals (intellectuals+thinkers, for the ill-informed) acting like you got something on this true american patriot, though he is descended from the africans who built this country without getting paid…try working for your bosses for free for a couple of years.
Honestly, Candace is a gift that just keeps on giving.

After viewing the Wright promo’s, one of my daughters keeps asking me, “When is someone finally going to tell Wright that he’s white?”
Comment by The Lost Dog on 4/28 @ 10:45 am #
Yup. The more I see, the more I am convinced that I am not the insane one.
But, unfortunately, just the fact that there is so much horse shit flying around makes me fearful for our future. How did “we” get to be so stupid?
But then again, doesn’t the constitution guarantee absolute stupidity? A fatal flaw, I think.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 4/28 @ 10:50 am #
At least she referred to us as an ‘your ilk’
That’s generally used in Scotland to signify one’s family, e.g. MacGregor of MacGregor, the clan chieftan, might be referred to as “MacGregor of that ilk”.
Using the word in a pejorative sense, as candace did, is racist against Scots.
Comment by JohnAnnArbor on 4/28 @ 10:55 am #
is racist against Scots.
We long-suffering Scots are used to it. ;)
Comment by Ric Locke on 4/28 @ 10:59 am #
Lost Dog, what we have here is a collision of ideals with the real world. Specifically, the ideal of egalitarianism.
The Founders did not believe in absolute equality. They believed that, given an equal basis upon which to compete, every person’s actual abilities would emerge and become the basis for their status. Forty years ago, Martin Luther King and others convinced me and my fellows that we had violated the “equal basis” condition. We were not giving black people an equal chance, and we agreed that this was a bad thing which should be changed.
We did not agree to “our turn in the barrel”, and won’t accept it. Farnham’s Freehold won’t happen.
The underlying, bitter fact which generates all this commotion is black people do not achieve. If you read that as “can not”, fuck you. The simple existence of people like Lisa disprove its, even if I were to make the assertion — which I do not, and I will be happy to help pin “racist” on anyone who does. But by and large black people do not achieve at the same rates as whites or asians, and until and unless we can come to an agreed-upon explanation as to why that is, there will continue to be conflict.
Regards,
Ric

oh this is great! Go study history, then come back and talk to me, I AM OUT! Who cares about Reverend Wright and what he says? Can he cause you to lose YOUR job? Is he taking food out of your mouths? Hell No!! So, why are you so concerned with him, because he is Obama’s friend? So what!! Let these candidates have their friends, like normal people! Friends they love, but don’t always agree with. Who are you to dictate what people say and think? Did you all even watch the Bill Moyers interview? This man assisted in an operation on LBJ, for crying out loud…served in the Marines and the Navy, while other folks were trying to melt into the American countryside. now for the children:
We are different, and that does’t make anyone deficient. When you clap, white folks, for years we have ridiculed you for being off beat. Still do. Wright put it in perspective, you are not off beat, you are clapping to the wired beat in your genes.
Been teaching for years. due to his speech, I am going to try something different in preparing them for these BIASED ASS state tests coming up next week. Yeah I said it.
All the little humor and sarcasm is cute, but none of you appear to be students of history, or for that matter, students of anything. His point was that there are sociological, ethnomusicogical, etc. reasons that make us all different; however, none of it makes one race or another deficient. Anyone can learn, even after being brainwashed that:
1. All you are and ever will be is a second class citizen, one step up from slavery. We can always rape your women, we have de-masculated (not emasculated) your men, and they are more concerned with the material goods you will never possess, no matter how many rap songs you sing, or how many baskets you shoot
2. Speaking of baskets, look you negroes, play sports for us, we will use you to the best of of your ability, make billions off of you, then not give you the help to earn a useful degree. IOW “SCrew YOU ya big black dummies!” We will make money for the colleges, the networks, the t-shirt companies, the sportscasters, the concession stands…but not for your poor black mama trying to figure out how rent will get this month!” GO TEAM!!
3. And you dark skinned folks…please lighten up…don’t you know the european standard of beauty is what’s up? and little girls, don’t cry because there are no black disney princesses…mamas, don’t be pissed because at christmas, you can only find white dolls…haven’t you learned anything yet? you ain’t shit…you don’t count, a black doll for boys? A black gi joe? get a grip and get with the program…who cares about dr. kenneth clark and his findings…just another militant unhappy negro.
anyway, i could go on, but i’m hungry.
you who don’t understand will probably never understand, so who the f*** cares!! lol

Nah, Kenyans live in America too. Some even have a Obama or two before heading home.

Actually, I met a Nigerian and a Liberian when I was in college. The Nigerian woman was particularly interesting, as she attended Detroit public schools for two years after immigrating.
She was amazed at how little value was placed on education, either by her fellow students or her teachers, in Detroit. In Nigeria, she had been taught to work hard and get educated. She was shocked.

candace,
I’m sorry, but who one chooses to call friend and mentor does matter. Such associations reveal what kind of evil a person is willing to tolerate and, in this case, even expose his children to.
Obama may not share Rev. Wright’s views… I will take him at his word on this. However, the fact that he chose to stand by and do nothing, while Rev. Wright preached such hate, makes me wonder what other evil he is willing to overlook.

WTF?
They pay for their education by playing a game. OK, no problem there; if the school sees a benefit in the trade, no problem. If the student athlete doesn’t take care of the “student” part, it’s their own fault. They have the same opportunity for getting an education as any of the other students, including those who are paying their own way with outside jobs, or whose parents are sacrificing to pay the tuition.

What “help” do they need? Why is it the responsibility of anyone else to provide it?

My mom’s pop was born in 1861, enslaved…we are a highly educated bunch, all eight of us, and my parents have been married for 56 years…if history means nothing, if generational wealth means nothing, then my bad.
But if you think that all you white folks have it on the ball, then you got another think coming.
all im sayin is this:
get up off rev wright
he ain’t nobody for you to be concerned about, so leave him be
that goes for my other hero, minister farrakhan, (still have questions about malcolm x, but hey, ive learned to like white folks!) leave him be
he doesn’t ask for anything from anybody, not handouts, not social services: do it yourself black man.
and furthermore, carin, you are not a bitch, if i was white or you were black we’d probably be friends
oh well

and furthermore, carin, you are not a bitch, if i was white or you were black we’d probably be friends
oh well
Assuming, of course, that I couldn’t be friends with a black person. Imagine what a lonely life I’ve lived, seeing as though about 30+ years I’ve been a resident of Detroit.
I think it’s the white hood that scares ‘em away.

man, please, black folks in this country were not even allowed to read
Yup. It is true. The local library has a sign on the front door that says “Black folks are not allowed to read”
if i was white or you were black we’d probably be friends
This is the most unintentionally racist statement I have ever seen.
BJ - Consider yourself perpetually denounced. And condemned. But not aggreived.

ok - it’s show and tell time…
my grandpa’s pa (on my pop’s side) came to the States from Ireland… in the hold of a ship in 1892… because they were poor and hungry, given the English and their desire to reduce the native-Catholics from the Emerald Isle. They were not allowed to get a public education or apply for jobs at WASP establishments. In WWI and WWII, they died in numbers far stripping the per capita population of Catholic Irish. There was a reason: they knew the only way to get respect was to perform. Nonetheless, we are only now coming of age in this country. That is, it has taken generations. And a lot of sacrifice from a lot of people who I don’t know. And really, now it doesnt matter any more than skin color, because the “races” as it were are all smashed together. I have some black blood in me (eeeee gads!), some indian, some Dutch, Norwegian, and… oh God, a good deal of … ENGLISH… Barack and especially Wright are bordering on white guys themselves… what will they do? What will they do when their kids marry off to … erm… a pasty skinned Carin? I mean, what will happen to the romance… nay the love affair with their cultural identity? How will they function? I mean, clingy-ness and all. Who gives a shit… I have it on good authority that Providence placed me here… and guess what? The Irish that my family left behind have no love for me. And I no love for them. We left for a reason. They stayed for a reason… and many of them came as indentured servants, or worse, were impressed into the Civil War. But do we continue to bitch about it? By and large we don’t. Because it does NO GOOD. And because others rightly dont care… nor do I force them to.

Comment by Rob Crawford on 4/28 @ 12:23 pm #
And, so?
You want to talk about “generational wealth”? My grandfather spent a few years riding the rails and taking work wherever he could in the middle of the Great Depression. He almost got arrested for bank robbery because he was a stranger in Ripley, OH. Eventually he made enough cash to go home and get married, then he and his bride moved to Cincinnati with nearly nothing.
He got a job as a steel worker. They saved, bought an apartment building. Eventually, they owned a few buildings — their lifetime savings were tied up in those buildings, all in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine and West End.
Many of their properties were destroyed in rioting in the 1960s. Others were rendered nearly valueless when their neighborhood — never a pleasant place — descended into anarchy.
Yeah, slavery and all its attendant institutions were evil. But it’s been gone for almost 150 years. The intervening years weren’t great — often horrible — for blacks, but at some point, you have to stop blaming history for the problems of today. Particularly when Occam’s Razor suggests much, much more immediate causes for the problems of today.
When I hear someone like Wright spouting lines that, but for the inversion of the colors involved, could come from the mouth of a David Duke or Matt Hale, and hear supposedly educated people defending him, I get sick to my stomach. I’ve tried all my life to live up to the ideal of “by the content of their character”, and the contents of Wright’s character are poisonous. So why defend him? Why praise him? Why treat him any better than a white racist would be treated?

could it be that White America actually heard MLK… and know the Rev Wright is a piss-poor analog? Could it be blacks didn’t hear MLK? Now that’s weird. I celebrate him everyday by looking beyond color (except for JD’s wife) and am surprised that it seems black folks want me to ALWAYS see the color of their skin instead.

lol
my para is here so i am chatting away, stupid ass standardized tests…all work and no intellectualism makes black children dumb as hell
will sell out their FAMILIES FOR A DOLLAR
WILL PRAISE MATERIALISM AND FORGET THEIR ROOTS AND THEIR ELDERS
WILL BELIEVE IN THE INNATE INFERIORITY PLACED ON THEM BY THEIR TEACHERS TO THE MEDIA
WILL NOT FORCE THEMSELVES TO SUCCEED
CARTER G WOODSON SAID IT BEST “You will not have to send [black folks] them to the back door, they will go on their own. And if there is no back door, they will create one.”
You young whippersnappers don’t have the courage rev. wright has, nor the experience, nor the right to talk like you do. and all you irish boat travelers, ya came with white skin and that was pretty much all you needed.
won’t try to talk sense, just get all nasty and pseudo-intellectually racist.
so coach comes and chooses this time to tell the teachers lounge about going to play football at ole miss in 94…boy oh boy, he should stop thinking about something that happened in 1994! So what they called you nigger, boy and mother fucking niggers, so what! so what they hit you with jack daniels bottles thrown from dorm rooms, beer bottles, rocks, etc. so what?!, so what they played dixie when you all entered the field, so what (along with the black band members) so what? SO FUCKING WHAT, NIGGER!?!
so what it marked you that you had to come back in here and tell me again that it was a bad scene…go rev wright never shutup, never go away, not even for the sake of your life…martin knew what was up, and so do we.
god bless you all
peace

JD - don’t let her learn to speak English… seriously, she’ll get all uppity and want to learn how to read…
my new book: “If you let your Vietnamese wife learn English, she’ll probably want to learn how to read it. If she learns how to read it, we’ll probably want to learn how to write it. And if she learns how to write it (if you let her, that is), chances are she’ll want a pencil of her own. And if you give her a pencil, she’ll probably want some paper… and if she has pencil and paper, she might write her relatives (who no doubt still live in the Orient) complaining of her oppressor of a husband and telling them that you’re bringing hobbling back into vogue…”

But, you’re not racist, because you walk on the beach with your white, asian and latino friends. Keep telling yourself that.
Nope, you can’t be her friend unless you are black, remember. At least she is honest about that. I am trying to get my mind around what kind of numbers we are talking about here:
My mom’s pop was born in 1861, enslaved…we are a highly educated bunch, all eight of us, and my parents have been married for 56 years…
Your mother’s father was 91 when she married?

Comment by candace on 4/28 @ 12:39 pm #
found this on another blog, lest you guys think you are the satus quo:
First of all, you need to ask yourself how often does the press express interest in the NAACP dinner? The reason the press were there was because of him.
Now then, have you listened to the whole entire speech? Moreover, did you completely understand it? If you had, you’d see that he did his homework. He used several sources of information as well as results of research from prominent PhD’s in their fields.
Have you listened to the sermons that contain the snippets in their entirety? I guarantee you that you would have a different impression of the man. For example, he said “G.D. America†in one of his sermons, right. However, did the media show you the rest of that sentence that wentâ€Âif America thinks she is God!†Oh they didn’t show you that, did they? Moreover, you were gullible to think that you had an understanding of a man who’s over 70 years old in a snippet of 30 seconds! Would I be able to understand you in 30 seconds at 35 years of age?
BTW, he’s got 2 Masters degrees, a PhD and several honorary degrees. He’s a veteran of the Marines and the Navy from a total of 6 years of service. Here is a man who has two Master’s degrees, a PhD and several honorary degrees. BTW, he was part of a team that operated on LBJ (Bill Moyers was there too). He has ministered for 40 years in a church that has helped people on 3 continents. He has grown his ministry from 87 people to over 8,000. He’s an entrepreneur that also travels a lecture circuit for which he’s booked solid for the next year or two. Thanks to the media, he’s a celebrity now! Funny, they were trying to malign him. instead, they made him RICH!
He can’t be racist anyway. The United Church of Christ is a mostly WHITE denomination. There are White members in his church. Also, he has counseled a Black woman to marry a White man which she had apprehensions about. he told her that she shouldn’t refuse to marry him because he was white! He presided over the marriage as well! After all of that, how can he be racist?
now fuck you all

Goodness. Sorry candace, did you have to work for your bosses for free ? Are you implying you were owned as a slave ? THis may come as a surprise but the slave trade was outlawed over 100 years ago. Nobody in this generation worked as a slave and neither did Wright.
*BIASED ASS state tests coming up next week. *
I’m confused, there is a state test on biased asses ? Am I missing something or are you just not communicating your point very well.
*Speaking of baskets, look you negroes, play sports for us, we will use you to the best of of your ability, make billions off of you, then not give you the help to earn a useful degree.*
How much does Lebron James make for playing basketball. How about Kobe Bryant ? Or David Ortiz for playing baseball ? And I assume black athletes don’t receive college scholarships for playing sports at various colleges. Yep, we white people simply toss black folks in the back of the turnip truck, drive them to the stadium and/or arena and whip them/taser them so they’ll perform. Kinda like circus animals (sigh).
*you ain’t shit…you don’t count, a black doll for boys? A black gi joe? get a grip and get with the program…who cares about dr. kenneth clark and his findings…just another militant unhappy negro.*
So this is about african american dolls ? Um, ok. I saw a black Barbie a few days ago. I recall GI Joe had a number of African-American action figures. Quite honestly, I think the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles need both a white and black non-turtle member.

Whereas with no education standards, black childred were all Rhodes Scholars. Ah, for the good old days.
For a giggle, you really ought to check out how much better educated kids in Florida are, after the imposition of standardized testing. Sure, maybe not a nice, vigorous classical education, but at least kids aren’t graduating high school unable to read and write in the same torrential numbers as before.
We elected to place “adequate” as a priority before “perfect”, you see. Possibly part of the problem is you.

Sympathy, white shame, his soul food’s gone, never to be re-heated in a microwave. I cry ugly goblins when I see that strong black man soft-shoeing for a capitalist machine of dinners by mailbox.

Maybe I should post their reading list.
As long as Titanic is on there. Hills Like White Elephants would work too.

I KNEW it!
I KNEW there was a PhD program, somewhere, in randomly making shit up.

You know Buddy Ryan never gave Carter’s habit up. He opened himself to ridicule by saying “All he does is catch TD’s” But he had to shock Chris into going on Nutrisystem: The Cocaine Edition. Snort like a man, still cash a check.

What — you mean they’re not all in Randomly Making Shit Up?
‘Cause I had some professors who had Ph.D.s, and some that didn’t. Their coherence level was, without fail, inversely proportional to the level of their degrees.
So I just assumed, you know.

After reading through all of the mighty works of Candace, I can only say Holy. Fucking. Shit.
That, and I really need to get a PhD. They obviously just give them to anyone who asks.

WAIWAIT, WAIT!! I have been working all day, trying to ensure that my student-athletes graduate on Saturday and so I’m late to the thread, but I desperately want to be denounced. Surely, my nick is worth some level of condemnation, right? What about my pointy boots? My PhD? I have a bunch of white kids and a white wife–no lawn jockey, but the compulsory Madonna statue in my front yard.
Come on!
SOMEONE REPUDIATE ME!

Which one — young, old, or the one with the cone bra?

Cowboy, you are just another Jesus-humping racist. And homophobe.
BECAUSE OF THE MADONNA!

But you’re a Cowboy, and even though you had home field advantage yet lost to the Giants in the NFC Championship Game, the Giants redeemed your losing performance by whupping the Pats in the Superbowl. I will repudiate your owner but I can not repudiate you, Cowboy, anymore than I’d repudiate my white grandmother. You’re still America’s team.

Thanks, cranky-d, I knew that just below my surface there was a racist homophobe lurking.
Isn’t that what they do? Lurk?
You have to help me, I’m new to this.
