Comin' 'n' Goin' Raaaacist
do/don’t::damned
How-de-do, brand new, brand-spankin’ new Attorney General. Nice ta meetcha.
"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards,” said Holder, nation’s first black attorney general.
Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, Holder said, but “we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race.”
...Race “is an issue we have never been at ease with and, given our nation’s history, this is in some ways understandable,” Holder said. “If we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us."
Well… that’s a fine how-de-doo-doo…
[Al Sharptonrelievesreveals hisownself:] "Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder are they inferring that a monkey wrote the last bill?"
It was my impression they were implying 1,000 monkeys on 1,000 typewriters wrote the “stimulus” bill—but I guess that’s clapping on the 2 and 4.
[It was also my impression that Congressional staffers wrote the bill, each tossing random favorite bits onto the pile, as neither the actual Congress members nor ∏eh W∅n [WASoF], have so much as read the damnthing. But that’s Just Me™.]
Srsly. Isn’t it more raaacist to shepherd every chance conversation with, say, your black neighbor or coworker to issues of raaace [mentioning, perhaps, that some of your best friends are black?] And here I thought, judging by the content of their character, discussing topics like the economy, favorite restaurants or what dumb thing the city council just did was not raaaacist.
Well. I guess they made a monkey outta me.
