Obama's election ended racism so we don't ever want to hear about it again!
By David Neiwert Wednesday Jan 21, 2009 6:45am
Glenn Beck helps lead the right-wing mewling about Rev. Joseph Lowery's benediction at President Obama's inauguration yesterday:
Good thing Barack Obama distanced himself from Jeremiah Wright. Is this how the post-racial Obama administration begins? I mean, I understand that he's an older gentleman, and that's fine, but, really? Someday brown can stick around, the yellow man can remain mellow? And white will embrace what's right? Can you imagine anyone else saying something like that? Even at the inauguration of a black president, it seems white America is being called racist.
Mr. President, I want to believe, I want to trust, I want to hope for change. But I am really failing to see how this is any different. USA Today reports something that I am actually shocked by -- that you smiled when he said this and shook your head. And it's not like you didn't know what you were getting yourself into. This is the same reverend that made Coretta Scott King's funeral all about politics.
Someone call the Waaaahmbulance, stat!
First, it might be helpful for Glenn Beck to know that the Rev. Joseph Lowery isn't merely an "older gentleman": he is in fact one of the sole surviving lions of the Civil Rights movement, a close and longtime ally of Martin Luther King (as well as Rosa Parks), and the founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, one of the major organizations in the battle over desegregation.
In other words, he's man who's been to the mountaintop that Glenn Beck thinks is just a handy piece of scenery upon which to chew.
Indeed, it is the persistent fantasy of the very same white conservatives who trafficked in suggestions that Barack Obama was secretly Muslim -- and that Muslims themselves are innately suspected of terrorism -- that somehow racism has been magically overcome by Obama's election (which they only coincidentally opposed, you know).
Being a true right-wing populist nutcase, Beck never quits while he's behind, and goes on to dig an even deeper hole:
And yet the only we ever heard about was the guy on the right that was going to open things up, that didn't say anything about yella being mella.
America is with you today, Mr. President. And you're right, we are all tired of the partisan bickering, the racial divides, the greed and the corruption. There are many people in this country who didn't vote for you, myself included, that actually want you to succeed. My family has been down on our knees for the last month praying for you and your family and your safety. You may be fascinated to learn that many of us don't hate minorities. That we don't want to starve the poor. And we're perfectly fine with brown sticking around.
Ah, it's good to see Beck acknowledging that maybe it's OK if "brown sticks around." Because we'd have had a hard time figuring that out from his previous Latino-bashing pronouncements on CNN.
"Every undocumented worker is an illegal immigrant, a criminal and a drain on our dwindling resources." -- Glenn Beck, September 4, 2007
"I've got a quick message for illegal aliens if you happen to be watching. You better start packing your bags. And to the politicians in Washington who are soft on illegal immigration, start packing up your office, because when the terrorists strike, which they will, and we find out that they're here illegally from some other country, we will be telling all of you to get the hell out." -- Glenn Beck, May 9, 2007
"America's border crisis. Rape, drugs, kidnapping, even murder. It is beginning to look a lot more like a border war." -- Glenn Beck, November 8, 2007
"It's time we wake up in this country. We are dealing with an illegal alien crime wave, and drug smuggling is just the beginning." -- Glenn Beck, January 12, 2007
And this one is similarly indicative of a tolerance of brown people (or lack thereof):
Somebody comes across the border in the middle of the night, why are they doing that? Really, three reasons: One, they're terrorists; two, they're escaping the law; or three, they're hungry. They can't make a living in their own dirtbag country.
Of course, Glenn Beck isn't the only right-wing phony twisting his pearls over Rev. Lowery's benediction. Seems Michelle Malkin is in need of a fainting couch too. (Give me an L!) Along with a whole host of their fellow wingnuts.
All because, evidently, Obama's election was supposed to mean that we're now officially over racism so we don't need to talk about it anymore.
And the ironic thing is, they accuse liberals of turning Obama into a "magic negro."

May whatever deity you believe in, strike that building down to rubble, with all the anti-American racist fascist bible thumpin assholes inside.
Well I still hate the Irish.
"It won't last; brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots, or Welshmen and Scots, or Japanese and Scots, or Scots and other Scots. Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!"
link please? or better still, video?
but obviously the person was referring to a rather strange family. I can understand the reference to Englishmen and Scots, since the English was a man, the Scot could be a woman and hence a natural brother sister combo in an intra-empire legal heterosexual union sanctifiable by traditional matrimonial ceremony. Same with the Welsh-Scot matchup, and Scot-Scot. But the Japanese-Scot thing troubles me deeply. Couldn't they at best only be half-brother and sister?
But I could be mistook.
originated from William Grundskeper, a Scottish-American education reformist, who vowed to clean up America's school system.
Good ol' Groundskeeper Willie...
I am the keymaster. Are you the Groundskeeper?
The Scots, who kept the Sabbath and anything else they could lay hands on.
The Welsh who prayed upon their knees and preyed upon their neighbors.
The Irish, who don't know what they want, but are willing to fight for it anyway.
The English, who claimed to be a self made race, thus relieving the Almighty of a terrible responsibility.
...candidate over an angry, crazy old man ends racism everywhere in America? And this vomit inducing proclamation comes from a chronic fucking racist?
This weak, frightened man is the ultimate dog whistler...he only speaks to bigots.
Joe Scarborough had his ass in a knot about that line in the minister's prayer this morning too. Another black minister quickly set him straight and Joe looked even more like an idiot than usual.
I pity you for having to watch that jerk and his puppet. Fortunately he is off the air by the time I get the TV on here on the west coast. My sympathy goes out to you.
pat,
could you post a link to that segment of the show please?
had better really watch themselves. Honestly, their nutty diatribes will not get them more viewers, but less. Less means less advertising money. Sure there are nutbars that will faithfully watch them, but that isn't the point. Their greedy capitalistic masterbating bosses, are always looking for an increase in income not to hang onto what they have now. I'm not an astrologist, but I predict by the end of the year, these wingnuts on the airwaves will be struggling right alongside everybody else. The world monetary system is completely broken. Pointing fingers right now, blaming, and bringing up batshit crazy arguments will not fix it. They are just painting themselves into a corner of irrelevance.
Fuck those fucking fuckers!
Masturbating.
listners of radio continue to shrink
there is no such thing as "broadcasting" anymore....
it is now "nichecasting"
numbers are inflated for these guys, because the ability to measure radio audience has never been an exact science
all that matters, is that their shows are basically handed out free to local stations
these syndicated programs get a certain amount of national ad time...they charge the local station nothing
the niche audience will remain no matter what
so they will stick to their shtick no matter what
the only people that i have heard moderating their stances, at least here in los angeles, are the local guys...because they do need ratings to stay in business
larry elder didnt get that...and he was booted
and shoot...if they all behaved, there would be no point for this blog to continue, and poor john would have nothing to do all day but play the sax
it was great hearing the savage wiener comparing obama to stalin...cool beans
that electing Obama would end stupidity on the public airways.
But what would beck do?
Beck actually disproved his own point just by what he said. If there were no more racism, why did he complain about what the minister said?
Excellent observation PoP!!
If racism is gone, swept away by Obama's speech ...
... then why is Beck's commentary, "How dare this black preacher open his yap!" and "How dare
the Secret MuslimPresident Obama smile and nod at those words!"1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race
Try actually READING these comments in this "sampling". At NO point did he mention race or color talking about Illegal Immigrants...that's in YOUR interpretation. I am very much against illegal immigrants myself, and my own wife is an immigrant from Venezuela...and we did it LEGALLY! It's not about "racism", it's about whether America is a nation of law or not. A guy I know was just deported. To Canada. He was illegal, and as white as anybody could be. But he broke our laws. If you sneak into any country on earth and get caught, the same thing will happen to you, regardless of what color you are. TRY IT!
And like you, I also married a legal latin american immigrant. While I have no problem with the concept of illegals being illegal, the fact is the rhetoric used to describe them does inflame racism against hispanics. The face of illegal immigration in the news and their rhetoric is always latino. That means the face of the underclass is also latino to most.
Let me tell you about my children. Both legally born here to legal parents, on my side white and (north american) native american and on my husband's side half mestizo and half pure Spanish.
My son looks white, favoring his white German and Spanish great-grandfathers. He has multiple neurological, learning and developmental disabilities. Most white teachers think he will be a great engineer if he overcomes his challenges.
My daughter looks hispanic. She has my mother's native features with my mother-in-law's mestizo coloring. She has no mental disabilities and is very smart (we had to do tests to prove this). She unlike my son is also bi-lingual. One of her white teachers told her that it was fine that she fail math in third grade as she would not need math to pick vegetables.
Both of her parents have post-graduate degrees in highly technical and mathematical fields. I know what fields we expected her to be good in, and it wasn't "fields of vegetables". But, we have a lot of farm labor hispanic immigrants .. and people just assume when they see her.
I suspect it's *their interpretation*.
Here's a direct quote from above:
"We are dealing with an illegal alien crime wave, and drug smuggling is just the beginning."
Illegal immigrant crime wave? Please, the vast majority of undocumented workers are here to make an honest living. They work hard after coming here with no other recourse. They can't make a living at home. I don't blame them one bit.
Glenn Beck is a nativistic opportunist who will do and say anything for his petty career ambitions, including using racism against brown people. And if you can't see what he's saying is racist, then you are a fool.
Get lost.
Racism may not go away but it should get much better with Obama as president.
... should lessen, not 'get much better,' IMHO.
I sure do hope so.
Many people don't even know any African Americans. Over the next four or eight years they will finally, not only get to know the first family, but maybe they will learn that they have nothing to fear from them or anyone else who doesn't look exactly like them. Maybe they will learn how foolish they have been.
I agree, it's like the effect the Cosby Show had in the 80's, showing a successful black family, except magnified many times over because this is reality.
Personally I think it is time to quit referring to Glenn Beck. It gives him credibility and draws attention to him. Plus he is really stupid. There are plenty of other idiot wingnuts to quote on any subject Beck may bring up In this case Michelle Malkin). Treat him the same way you treat John Gibson. Pretend he is not there.
... cite them only to dismantle their arguments and expose them as frauds.
that this is an old saying. Obama's smile was one of recognition. Beck is no doubt so divorced from the African American community that he's never heard the saying.
. . . as a black man, and a liberal, and a lawyer, I am so-so tired of ministers getting jiggy with it in order to draw attention to themselves. Given the setting and the circumstances, Lowry's comments were silly, at best. Frankly, I can't believe that the Obama camp didn't ask to see his speech beforehand.
Obama is going to be under greater personal scrutiny than any previous president, including former Presidents Nixon and Clinton. Notwithstanding of the lineage of the saying, I think people like Lowry might want to be a little more circumspect. Unfortunately, Obama's election doesn't change the fact that America is populated by chowderheads who lives their lives according to every word uttered by the likes of Beck, and Hannity, and Limbaugh, and O'Reilly.
There's no need to generate any unnecessary controversy -- Obama's going to be picked at by the right for at least the next four years for a host of other reasons.
He is an elderly man and perhaps that wasn't in his written speech, maybe he just slipped it in at the last minute. Having been around elderly people, I know you can't always control what they say and most people cut them slack due to their age.
went into a bar. The bartender asked him, what'll you'se have. The man answered "I am tired of being the butt of all these stupid jokes when I was trying to make a serious point."
One prayer makes you hopeful
And the right wing crieth foul
And the crap that Murdoch feeds you
Doesn't do anything at all
Go ask Wallace, when he was just small
When the nuts on the airwaves
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just tuned in to Rush Limbaugh
And your mind is sinking low
I'd ask Wallace
But he don't know
Mind if I send it to a cuple of old hippy friends?
Almost had a third verse, but couldn't think of how to make the dormouse couplet fit.
You can dooooo eeeet!
What part of feed your head doesn't fit?
When logic and proportion
Have fallen softly dead
And Glenn Beck is talking backwards
And Ann Coulter's off her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
I kneeeeew you could do it!
the doormouse to the dormancy it so richly deserved.
...and let's just put an end to hate altogether. That would solve everything, wouldn't it?
And let's not forget that racism still exists, regardless of presidency. There are still close-minded people that hate others for who they look like and not who they are inside. There are still whites that hate blacks and blacks that hate whites. There is still hate towards every circle you can think of in America, and that should never be swept under the rug with the election of a minority to the highest position in America.
Beck, you're just full of it. Think you're going to be #1 this week on the neocon media's chart.
So we don't want to hear anything more about you or your failed philosophy ever again!
Do us a favor Glenn. Move to Somalia---or some place far, far away.

When any minister is saying a prayer on tv, I just sort of space out and don't really hear what they are saying. I just don't care what they say, no matter who they are or what they are saying. But I do have to admit that bit of that minister's prayer did catch my ear and made me smile. I readily admit I had never heard it before.
"My family has been down on our knees for the last month praying for you and your family and your safety."

There's a picture I need to erase with alcohol consumption...

"You may be fascinated to learn that many of us don't hate minorities. That we don't want to starve the poor. And we're perfectly fine with brown sticking around."

What Beck meant to continue with: "That may be true of some of the real pussies, but me, I hate 'em all and do my best to starve 'em. They can stick around, as long as they mow my lawn then stay locked in the garage quietly."

Glad to see Dreck has made a seemless transition to Fux where he can be with his pasty white, racist brethren. He must have been the center of an inaugural circle-jerk, sponsored by Viagra.
When you have to publicly state that you "don't want to starve the poor", you have a lot more problems than you realize.
to a crime.
Maybe he has a conscience after all?
But he does sound defensive about it. That must be a good thing.
when no one notices the color of the skin of our next minority president
this was a good start, but we were reminded over and over and over again about his racial makeup
and that was from both sides
we have a long way to go until we reach the mountain top
I do have to agree. One female commentator on CNN kept blathering about his race during the inauguration. It was kind of sad that all they could focus on was President Obama's racial make-up.
Eight years of tyranny ended and all they could focus on was the color of our President's skin.
But the reporters at the various "balls" kept blathering on about our First Lady's friggin dress...who gives a rats ass?
Most women give a rat's ass about her dress. I surely don't give a damn that it was a design by what's his name and it was a white chiffon over the shoulder deal and apparently the guy ran out of material because he only had enough to make one shoulder strap and forgot to cut off the excess at the bottom so poor Michele had to keep tugging on it to not step on it. Maybe the guy who made it was in a hurry but at least he could have taken a quick swipe at the bottom with a pair of scissors. But what do I know?
She was trippin all over that damn thing wasn't she?
"All the girls walk by, dressed up for each other..."
Having said that, she did look real nice. Also she is one tall drink of water isn't she?
I thought her dress was very pretty and I was looking forward to seeing it. But I get all girlie about stuff like that.
I thought they both looked great. I'm happy to see one of us tall ladies in the white house. Maybe women with long legs will be cool again.
When were they ever uncool??
Not a damn thing wrong with long legged womerns!
So you can swim between their legs?
Oh, sorry, that's BOW-legged wimmen.
Isn't that what we tie around our necks?
.
for all of us sisters with junk in the trunk. I have a southside booty not too unlike the First Lady's. I too get girlie over stuff like this and I was worried that her dresses wouldn't flatter her booty and hips.
She looked like a million dollars.
Ok, I was gonna say something crass and stupid...
(wouldn't be the first time and won't the last) but I will instead just agree, that yes, The First Lady did look like a million bucks.
I'm married to a Scot. They use the C-word freely and as a term of endearment. I can take your crassness!
Well, the Scots know what they like.
Definitely a very attractive woman.
Though personally I'm in love with that lovely woman who's on MSNBC all the time...and of course her name escapes me at the moment...Michelle Bernard or something...she's perfect in my book...
Hey...I was right!
http://www.iwf.org/images/8f0407f79b80ad18ced...
I know exactly what you mean. Gorgeous woman. ;)
And that other fascinating young woman, who's a professor somewhere, Lacewell... she's pretty hot as well,too bad she's married...now I'll never have the chance to be rejected by her...
Gives a rats ass? You generated plenty of replies so somebody does.
LOL!
NO logic allowed!
About Aretha's hat. At least she was signing to the tune "God save the Queen."
Was that the Sex Pistols version?
not really functional as a ball gown. If he'd been angling for a grade, I'dve given him a D-. Even an F. No excuse to have a bad design. The one shoulder strap looked contrived, and the rusching is a bad idea for someone who isn't a stick insect.
That said, I'll bet she chose it because it looked much better in person.
We as a nation, just took a friggin HUUUUGE leap forward in race relations...and also in how the world sees us...bushie took us a million steps back...and Obama just jumped us forward about 1.5 million...so we're gettin there...albeit very slowly..
So, Mr. Beck, does this mean that Fox News Network will put an Asian, Hispanic, African-American or other "non-whites" as commentators, such as yourself, with their own shows in prime time? I mean, you do work for the whitest, straightest and male dominated cable news network.
Or does this mean that Fox News will continue to have the token liberals and token people of color?
Oh, I get it, even though "racism" is supposed to be no more now that we have President Obama, the average viewer of Fox News would never stomach hearing commentary from a person of color on a nightly basis.
he don't know shit about shit. he belongs on Fox.
This is such a weird argument on their behalf. Almost half of the country DID NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA. Yet somehow the entire country gets credit for looking past race entirely. A lot did, but I'm sure a lot did not.
Him winning certainly signals that things are getting better, but come on.
Glenn Beck still has a career on TV and radio. So, by definition, racism is still alive and well.
Why does anyone pay attention to that fat little flacid asshat Glenn Beck? He is a life-sized albino turd. What I'm saying is: I dont like him. No sir, I dont like him at all.
I feel you are holding back your emotions. ;)
Let it out...holding it in ain't good! ;)
I just don't think it can be said much better than that.
He could have added that Beck is the resultant butt-baby from the consumation of Limbaugh and O'Reilly....I would have...just sayin...
I know you needs the funds from the ads on this site...
But sweet poledancin jebus, why is Ann Coulters ghoulish image everywhere on here lately?
It's like I'm in bizarro world...
That pic is for rodent control. It scares the rats and mice away.
Can't eat because of those nausea inducing pics...
in Firefox. I haven't seen its mug yet.
I'm gonna doit!
I see a few ads, but no Coultergeist. NoScript is really easy to use--allows you to block scripts individually, temprarily or permanently. Sometimes interferes (possibly) with vid playbacks, but I usually open those in IE or download and play.
They used to put a photo of Ann Coulter into every cell at Gitmo, but even the guards considered it "cruel and unusual punishment". Sorry, very poor taste joke, but what the hell, I say go for it!
You know, I'm never one of the people who advocates just ignoring these people-- but in Beck's case it might actually be the best course.
Seriously-- I expect most of his audience viewed his show through this site.
I hate anyone darker than Pamela Anderson, but America voted for a black guy (with no help from me) and that means America is no longer racist! And since *I* am an American, that means *I* am no longer racist! WHEE!
Shorter Slappy:
Die in a car fire, jackass.
is black? Whoa, when did that happen?
Isn't America great?
C&L doesn't merely become a clearinghouse for all the right-wing insanity that is sure to spew over the next 4 to 8 years. I just don't want to hear it. I want to know what Obama is doing to fix things and who or what is helping or hindering. I already know close-minded, racist morons are going to be saying stupid things.
He is sickening, seems to me he is the Fox news "Cracker Jack Box" version of Olberman. I see this is going to be his role, too be like Olberman was to Bush. Only problem is he will have to nit pick on simpleton issues like words rather than actions.
That old man talking about mellow yellow, red getting ahead sounded like the 60's, you know, the "thought" that's was stomped out by Nixon and the Nazi's back then. If only they would've won the people and Flower power.
I'm a looser baby so why don't ya kill me.(Beck)
if we simply had kept the damn king and queen and skipped that silly ban on establishing a single religion.
"And you're right, we are all tired of the partisan bickering, the racial divides...."
oh, beck is tired of the 'racial divides'? i am curious to what beck's experience with racial divides just exactly is.
the whole notion that electing an african american means that we are in a post-racial world is childish and insulting
LMAO!!!
His experience entails feeling very nervous and paranoid when around AA's in public..slightly less so when they're guests on his show.
which, of course, he tries to reduce any such contact whenever and however possible
he's afraid teh "black" will infect him...
let him call people commies again? Or tell him a lot of people found Aretha's hat funny so he could make fun of that?
But that hat was ridiculous...
line about her stealing the ribbon off a Lexus. Or was it Stewart?
Stewart.
And that was funny as hell
And a drunk. It's only a matter of time before he's back on the sauce. Then, watch the implosion.
Beck is paranoid around AA's? He should skip the coffee then.
and the meth...
Not shocking but even on Inauguration Day they can't help themselves. A true measure of racists now will be the ones declaring "Racism is dead!" in order to play victim to gain political advantage. It's been a mantra now for decades, but it will be the pillar of victimization the ditto-heads will use to cry foul.
It's the same old tired story that the Right uses to justify America's involvement in slavery
and in questioning war or anything else that mars the Right's image or interferes with making a buck.
If you don't love America for exactly the way America is, you are Anti-American and a cancer.
This is no surprise, the elite classes as MLK regularly stated will not easily relinquish their elevated status. Here's a perfect example of that in action.
townhall.com/columnists/MichaelMedved/2007/09/26/six_inconvenient_truths_about_the_us_and_slavery
Why do you keep putting assholes like this on your page. fox is where the fucktards are. Quick giving them any time.
Just sayin...
I seriously wonder if I need to keep visiting this site now that Obama is president. I probably will just for laughs.
But don't fret...there's gonna be plenty of rightwing shit for the C&L folks to bring to light.
If the Rethugs think electing Obama ended racism in this country, why were they so dead set against his election? Could it be Rethugs are FOR racism?
They are after all...the Jim Crow Party.
ended the relevance of Faux News so I never ever want to hear from them again.
i'm still noshing on the possible "experiences" beck has with
anything of value or importancethe racial divide....and i think beck's experience with "racial divides" are literally physical divides: like fences, walls, and locked car doors. as in: he sees another race and he looks for some sort of physical barrier to "protect" his fragile porcelainity. and, dag nabbit, beck is hoping that he no longer has to hide from imaginary foes.
That is Becks experience on the racial divide...nailed it!
I thought we all knew about his porcelanity problem. Fragile doesn't begin to cover it. It's little and even shrivelled when warm.
This shit is too funny!
Beck's a bitter, tight-assed moron. I was amused by the speech but it was certainly not in keeping with the tone of an inauguration. It's silliness may the sole memorable moment after Obama blew it with his dull, ordinary speech.
What fuckin inauguration were you watchin?
on the speech was pretty accurate. Relieves my fear he won't have any material for Obama.
The recycling Bush stuff is a problem, however.
But when Obama says it...it doesn't seem like rhetoric...more like a statement of intent. Not BS.
about the great Dick Gregory (again, I think) line about why it is OK fort blacks to use the n word but not whites.
The Glen Beck types will tell you that Obama as president has put African Americans on the same playing field as whites. Well almost,to achieve equality we would have to elect a dumb African American for President.
Boy is he living in the land of make believe. So 1 2 3 its over. Well lets see if any minority or gay group could move in next door to where he lives. I doubt it. Fox news is living in the land called denial. How sad that a news station lives up to what is the worst of america instead what is the best in america.
But, it did shatter the glass ceiling. We should all be greatful for that. It does show that Americans are still moving in the right direction. This is a tremendous victory for the forces of enlightenment. The forces of intolerance will do anything to belittle or denegrate this historic acheivement in US History. I don't think that this ended racism by any means. I do however think that it knocked the bigots off their I am superior to you pedestal.
Simply put...a GREAT day for America.
I cannot stand this guy.
A number on the right have been asking what those on the left will do, now that Bush and his regime are gone. Unfortunately, Bush and his regime still live on in the likes of a'hole Beck. He is such an idiot....drives me insane to even see his picture.
And the things coming from his mouth are incoherrent and confused. The talking heads on the right do not know how to handle this massive cultural shift to the left. The more they babble in cofusing tongues; the more credibility they will lose with their own people.
Well do what I do. I don't listen or watch any rightwing talk show if I can help it. I don't watch Fox news either. I depend on website like this to keep me informed what the idiots are saying. Unless it really is something that is really way out there and I want to hear it or see it with my own eyes, and ears.
I avoid doing anything that could be interpreted as boosting their "numbers". Their audience is shrinking, but not fast enough!
Is fine by me...maybe they won't spawn any more ignorant hateful assholes.
General...Just because Obama's our new Prez...doesn't mean for a second that we can let down our guard..we still gotta fight the good fight.
The rightwingnut fucktards will try to take away every gain that is made by progressives.
"Okay, now that we've ended racism, can we go back to talking about killing all those brown people?"
Glenn Beck is a tortured soul, it remains for the listener to kindly
diffuse his monologue with the compassionate knowledge that he is on
his own search for the source of his demons.
I have to say, it wasn't the best she could have done. One of my designer friends said - "it has pustules!". White is always a bad choice for the camera, and I thought the waistline and the way the one shoulder strap was put on was sumpremely unflattering. Too bad as she is a stunning woman and deserved better. I also hated the election night dress. I think the problemis that they are picking them for how they look upclose, and not how they read on TV or at a distance.
Almost my only complaint aboutthe whole day yesterday though, so no biggie!
Hey Glenn as a white rural farm worker I too smiled when the indomitable Rev. Lowery spoke those words. And felt great pride in my country and a warmth in my heart at having the opportunity to listen to that great man speak his words of wisdom. You Glenn on the otherhand are a nasty douchebag whom I hope never to hear another word from!
Glenn is a "Latter Day Saint."
And like any good Mor(m)on male, he will become a God when he dies.
And it's hard to be humble when you're a Godling.
is how to dish it out.
STFU, you doughy lump. You won't see an end to racism in your great grandkids' lives.
Christ, how do people this stupid leave their teens alive?
...they have the right to declare when racism is actually over. Only a racist would believe such bullshit.
When I was a rugrat I loved the song White Rabbit (and Lather).
But at the end of the song when Grace Slick would sing feed your head, I thought she meant study harder.
But we didn't have sex ed then.
with Mormon underwear?
Oh, goody, the insight of yet another clueless white conservative on race. Beck/Hume/O'Reilly's second verse, same as the first, ad infinitum...
Or should we just call it lying? I watched the wonderful inauguration live, and noted that Obama smiled just after the line "and brown can stick around". According to Beck, he smiled about the "white will do right" line. Twisting the truth isn't reporting Glen, it's propaganda.
And what's he got against white people "doing right"? The Bible, which these people claim to love, is all about that.
You know that these racist whiteys only invoke the bible when it's useful to them.
