— Which headline, I take it, is supposed to ooze of irony — but which misses the central fact that Obama, by dint of being black, can’t commit a racially insensitive faux pas. Nor be a racist.
I know this because, if he’s taught me nothing else, Spike Lee has taught me this.
And Spike Lee is, like, the late-twentieth-century’s very own Frederick Douglass. Except without the having been subjected to slavery-thing, and with a rather uneasy fetish with Michael Jordan’s shoes, not to mention a rather unhealthy public distrust of Whitey, without whom he’d probably still be some broke ass wannabe film maker.
Really. I expect better of Andrew Malcolm, who must certainly know that no standard is so sacred to the race-baiters and the identity politics aficionados as is the double standard. Without which the whole enterprise would be revealed for the manipulative, immoral, cynical, and often times criminal racket it is.
Except without the having been subjected to slavery-thing,
True. Spike’s moms was a teacher, even. He’s also worth $40M.
Spike too is a slave!
A slave to a Society created by and for the White Man!
Them millions is reparations, man.
Guys – the RNC just announced that racism is over, so I don’t even know what you’re talking about. #outreach
If your millions are made in the entertainment business, you can claim you are like a minstrel or something.
This just in: World’s oldest human, 178, just appears in Mississippi, claims to have actually lived under slavery. Film at half-past go fuck yourself, moron.
Interesting that the only actual use of race in recent years was the tax on Caucasians in ObamaCare. And Trayvon. And “police acting stupidly”. And “My peeps”. And the election interference by the NBPP. And I could go on and on, but you’re already dismissing the entire point with a muttered, “Racist”.
Non-humans Delenda Est!
Huh. Wonder what ever happened to Shelton’s HighYeller Daze flick? Probably an inadequate box-office.
Big deal, dalek. Bill Clinton also announced “The era of Big Government is over.”
Not so much.
Spike Jones is a racist and also has a Napoleon complex, being as he’s about four and half feet tall.
I’ll bet he gets a Medal of Freedom, too. Barry is running out of “worthies”.
Au contraire, Spike Jones is a honky hero.
Obama probably also has “GADAR” , knows whose been naughty or nice, and how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.
Heh sdferr My mind ran away to the entertaining Spike, not the tedious Spike and my fingers followed.
hah, good catch sdferr
And the winner is … Beetlebaum
bgbear, what’s the deal with O and the gays? You’d think he had a vested interest in gaydom.
Simple. Obama grew a beard and got so comfortable that he married her. Like Tom Cruise.
Or John Travolta.
I don’t know really. I cynically assume the Dems’ embrace of the “Gay agenda” is simply a wedge issue, otherwise they really don’t give a rodent’s hinder.
“Obama grew a beard and got so comfortable that he married her.”
Yes, they’re like our very own Monsieur and Minette without the fashion sense.
“Guys – the RNC just announced that racism is over, so I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
Yes, rather a premature announcement because as long as the liberals/marxists/democrats find racism so profitable, the liberals/marxists/democrats will keep racism alive.
Oprah says all the old white guys have to die first.
“Oprah says all the old white guys have to die first.”
Yeah, but then who ? The blacks (or whatever the term du jour is) and hispanics (whatever that means) don’t seem to hit it off so well, nor are either singing Kumbaya with the orientals (or whatever the term du jour is), and whomever is left from that mess still has to contend with the Moslems (of whatever race or national origin).
