Moonbats Honor Their Protectors
Thursday, March 20th, 2008From Moonbattery

From yesterday’s Anchorage Daily News:
Vandals dumped a bucket of red paint on a downtown veterans memorial this morning, the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, in what police suspect was a symbolic act of protest. Passers-by spotted the blood-toned paint on the Anchorage Veterans Memorial, in the Delaney Park Strip off I Street, during the morning commute and reported it to police. The soldier’s helmet was blood red, with the paint dripping down to the ground below. […]
The statue was cleaned off by early afternoon, with only a hint of a reddish hue staining the greening copper shaped into a soldier holding a carbine. The blood-colored paint stained the snow beneath a placard that is part of the monument: “To those Alaska veterans whose eyes have seen what the protected will never know.”
Another one to file under “But They Support the Troops.”

New Black Panther Party condemns ‘white men,’ Jews, praises candidate
Sphere: Related ContentJust as Sen. Barack Obama sought to distance himself from controversial racial remarks made by his pastor, an anti-American government, anti-white and virulently anti-Semitic black supremacist party has endorsed the presidential candidate on Obama’s own website.”Obama will stir the ‘Melting Pot’ into a better ‘Molten America,’” states an endorsement from the New Black Panther Party, or NBPP, which is a registered team member and blogger on Obama’s “MyObama” campaign website.
The NBPP is a controversial black extremist party whose leaders are notorious for their racist statements and for leading anti-white activism.
Malik Zulu Shabazz, NBPP national chairman, who has given scores of speeches condemning “white men” and Jews, confirmed his organization’s endorsement of Obama in an interview with WND today.
“I think the way Obama responded to the attack on him and the attempt to sabotage his campaign shows true leadership and character. He had a chance to denounce his pastor and he didn’t fall for the bait. He stood up and addressed real issues of racial discord,” stated Shabazz.
Shabazz boasted he met Obama last March when the politician attended the 42nd anniversary of the voting rights marches in Selma, Ala.
“I have nothing but respect for Obama and for his pastor,” said Shabazz, referring to Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor of nearly 20 years.
It is Wright’s racially charged and anti-Israel remarks that were widely circulated last week, landing the presidential candidate in hot water and prompting Obama to deliver a major race speech in which he condemned Wright’s comments but not the pastor himself.

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008This is another example of pastoral hysterical Negro stupidity. This man pimping for Hillary like a little Negro slave.
What is sad is looking at his followers standing there while he rants about Obama like a bunch of idiots.
Thanks to J. Wright we will now be exposed to the radical lunacy exhibited in far too many black churches around the country.
If you white folks want an explanation as to why black folks believe in and say the stupid shit they do it can be found simply by attending a typical Sunday sermon.
There was a black chick on Rush today who said that the Bin Laden family was living with Bush to protect them. Common fucken sense is in short supply.

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
I have read Chris’s response to me several times and I will freely admit I am not processing it as well as I should.
He does not understand my resistance to Obama and I can’t help but think, “why would he or anybody else care about my resistance to Obama?”
So, I’ll muddle through this as best I can, but it will no doubt seem disjointed to some. You can blame it on the lingering effects of my ass kicking flu or my increasing irritation with the news media and America’s new found racial enlightenment all because Barrack Hussein Obama was feeling the pressure of anti-American backlash because he decided to attend a church to give him street credibility while at the same time embracing an over the top whitey-America hating Pastor. Folks maybe it tis just me, being a black dude, conservative minded, independent thinking, beat of thy own drummer cranky ranting fuck who just sees the mud and dirt all over every damn aspect of American politics.
Chris won’t listen to me as much as Obama, because I don’t agree with him. I marvel at how much knowledge white folks seem to absorb when they are lectured by a “favorable” and acceptable darkie with whom they agree and want to grant some sort of Jesus status.
My resistance to Obama is no different than my resistance of damn near any presidential candidate. I just don’t hold the office of president as high a regard as the vast majority of Americans.
While speaking to one of my student interns the other day he asked me what I looked for in a president. Basically I told him, nothing, not a damn thing. I don’t want my president to do a damn thing, I don’t want he or she to say anything, I want them to just occupy the space, don’t fuck shit up, don’t push any red buttons or try to fix anything. I want them to vacation hard and long. Bottom line; just keep you fucken mouth shut and try not to do anything too stupid. Is that asking too much?
For as long as I can remember I have regarded the presidency as a middle management position basically because the smarter the president tended to be the more likely they were to fuck shit up.
I don’t want my president to fix health care, I don’t want my president trying to “create” jobs. That tis not what they do. I don’t want my president trying to fix race relations, or trying to cure world hunger, or spreading democracy or being the world’s fucken police.
What about Iraq, Snoop, (sigh). Well being in Iraq and the Middle East was inevitable. Being in Iraq is a necessary evil and folks on both sides of the political divide are on the same page about how badly it got screwed up. However, to appease the monkeys on both sides of the political animal cages politicians throw out withdrawal timetables on one hand while the other growls about “finishing the job” and “keep
America safe.” We are in Iraq because we needed a place to park troops
– To keep a closer eye on the oil and the many nut jobs in the region.
My resistance to Obama is the same resistance I would have to any Democrat. I don’t care what race the candidate is, he’s still a Democrat.
Democrats believe in their soul that their destiny is to “fix” America and its citizens and to “fix” society. Candidates like Obama and Hillary are caught up with this inherent need to shine a light on American society’s dark underbelly and expose the wretched evils of our society.
So what if I don’t think it is all the evil, when compared to the rest of the world and history? It’s not perfect, but it is sure not nearly as evil or broken as the Democrats want us to believe!
People like my friend Chris are caught up in the “Hope-nosis” (patent pending) that Democrat campaigns tend to engage in. They are buying the snake oil and do not even want to discuss the ingredients.
I am keenly aware that I am far more critical of Negros and Obama than I am of whitey. This is because I genuinely care more about what happens to Negros. That is, I care whether or not they’re valuing education as highly as they should, whether they’re pushing themselves and their children to be the best and not wallowing in excuses or hurling unfounded
charges of racism. Whether a person actually suffered from
racial discrimination or not, there are those who urge conduct that will always “keep whitey on the hook.” It seems to serve Negros well to blame whitey and say “see what you did to us?” That’s a handy excuse and I for one am sick of it being used all the time for everything.
Negros have this unwritten rule that we are not allowed to let whitey forget our historical grievances, whether an individual white person was guilty of discrimination or not. Most whites seem intimidated by blacks who do this. This race hustle perpetuated by the Sharpton’s of the world is profitable and effective. It is the one card we can play from cradle to grave and it gives Negro pundits a voice on liberal media talk shows.
Folks although I have given my examples of racism and unfairness I just can’t sit here all the fucken time and rant all the fucken time about whitey and the evils processed in their minds or the ignoble deeds done to Blacks. Why use this blog to bitch and moan about slavery, institutional racism and other crap?
I would rather use my blog to keep Negros on the hook. It just suits me.
I hate weakness and self loathing. It just irritates the shit out of me. And it does nothing to improve individual’s lives.
People want to blame other people for the mess they find around them. It is easier to look outward instead of working on self. Just look at the cheering from the crowd at Pastor Wrights sermons. I’m thinking “what the fuck were they cheering about?” For me, telling each other (or whites) how racist whites have been and still are is, in my estimation, just counterproductive and silly.
Just as the cheering was after the O.J. Simpson verdict, “we beat whitey hooray,” like a bunch of silly ass ghetto clowns. I remember being so utterly embarrassed after the announcement of the verdict I wanted to crawl in a hole for a week.
I just may be totally off base on this but if there are whites out there who are actively trying to fuck black people just for the hell of it then they are suffering from massive retardation. No matter how prejudiced you might be, you will WANT black folks to succeed if for no other reason then it helps you! If you have any sense you will want
the least of those in our beloved society to succeed or else YOU will be paying for them either through welfare or the criminal justice system.
True conservative minded folks will not systematically try to fuck those on the lower tiers of society, it is just stupid. Only the literacy and mentally challenged redneck inflicted persons in our society seek to specifically dis Negros and other minorities.
I don’t grant too much give a shit status to idiot fuck white people who want to perpetuate racial divisions so I choose not to engage in Rev J. Wright nigga speech calling out whitey dissing them on the one hand while investing your money with them.
His hatred was phony, just as most Nigga hatred is.
If I wanted Niggas to come to this blog all I would have to do is rant about honkey this and honkey that and spitting out black power platitudes to get welfare monkeys all fired up while at the same time voting for Democrats and bowing to them like a bunch of ignorant slaves.
Like it or not we are all in this together. I just think that Negroes need to be reminded, constantly, of our responsibility in this mess.
For example, as we all know, black crime statistics are outrageous, especially considering our proportion of the population. Rarely, if ever, do you hear black people expressing disgust for out-of-control crime rates or lecturing other blacks about their responsibility to stay out of the criminal justice system. (As Chris says finger wagging) Why?
Why have Pastor Wright bitch about the fact that blacks make up a disproportionate percentage of the prison population when the simple thing to do is to stay the fuck out of jail. I’m sorry people, but I have little of no sympathy for criminal Negros. I won’t be stealing from my neighbors, I’m not selling crack to your kids, and I have no interest in stealing your car or flat screen TV. If I can avoid that conduct, so can you!
I have yet to hear in my 44 years on this earth how whitey is the blame for a Negro stealing a case of Heineken while the streets of New Orleans floods. Black New Orleans police officers were stealing from Walmart, on camera! How is whitey to blame for that bit of human frailty?
Obama wants us to buy into the fact that your only path to success is the have Gubment bigger, better and unchecked. He - as do all Democrats — panders to parasites. Democrat power is directly derived from how many people he can keep under his wing.
Democrats believe in segmenting America his speech outlined it perfectly skin color preferences. Affirmative action was intended to include more blacks in the candidate pool, and keep racist white people in check. Now it has become the biggest entitlement program ever conceived. It has nothing to do with so-called racial discrimination and everything to do with
lowered standards. What it does is tell people they can succeed without jumping through the same hoops everyone else must go through. With that mind set, Negros see no need to attend school. Which in turn prevents them from qualifying for jobs that they could do!
We freely give whitey the ammunition to say, “you niggers are too dumb to get a job on your own, you need gubment help.” Negros are not embarrassed by this. I don’t get. I have never been able to comprehend it. Negros celebrate “victimhood” and are gleeful when whitey is forced to atone for 400 years of racist tendencies. But they won’t do
whatever it takes to improve their own lives, without anyone else’s or Democrats help.
Shit, I have been fucked by employment discrimination numerous times because there were just some white people who were too stupid to see a good employment candidate when they saw one. It happens.
Apparently, it’s difficult to find black job candidates and potential university students with credentials comparable to whitey. On the one hand, some blacks claim that credentials are comparable, but whites need a “push” to hire or admit. On the other hand, some blacks claim that “comparable” is relative. Just because a black person has a lower score, it doesn’t mean he’s not qualified for a job or admission. It is reasonable, however, to set hiring and admissions criteria, and if your score is below the threshold, you are, by those standards, not qualified. Unfortunately, some blacks, not all thank goodness, see racial motives behind every damn thing. I still see affirmative action as simply immoral, unconstitutional, embarrassingly unfair, and undignified.
If blacks with comparable credentials are being passed over, blanket skin color preference policies are not the remedy. If blacks are passed over because they don’t have comparable scores, we need to address the problem at a much earlier stage. We all know what idiot owned government schools have become. Get the socialist fucks out of the front offices and demand better for your kids. Fight for school choice, support rigorous standards, and advocate excellence, not mediocrity, but stop making excuses. Beat your bad ass children; turn off your TV and study.
Embrace and reward studious behavior and penalize stupidity and laziness.
I have a daughter and a nephew who are gleaming examples of kids, who were raised in two parent households who were raised with morals and a basic American work ethic, and both gleaming examples of personal “individual” failure. It was not whitey fucking them over, whitey did not chain the school doors shut; whitey did not prevent them from learning and completing their education. The Klan did not force my daughter to get pregnant or made my nephew’s teacher give him multiple F’s on his report card. BUT Obama and Democrats and J Wright will lead you to believe that whitey doomed these kids, plez!
Despite government policies designed to “force” equal outcomes, thanks to human nature, that shit ain’t going to happen. We each have different or varying degrees of talent, drive, and motivation. This is where “diversity” bites liberals on the ass.
In a society as diverse as America, individuals will never have equal shit. You won’t find equal outcomes within the same biological family, so how can you expect to find it within a diverse country?
I have said often that far too many black people have this fucken team mentality when it comes to living in American society. I’m not on some fucken “Negro” team! Sure, I want the best for some of my brothas as sistas! But black folks act like just because a mixed race Negro is running for president I should be supportive.
In case some of you liberals who gushed over Obama’s speech did not know, all of us Negroes here in America are of “mixed heritage,” with the blood of slaves and slave owners. There is not a Black in America (who has slave ancestors) that is not mixed race. And more whites then you know probably have Black relatives! So we need to stop focusing on skin tone or the mother country of people and start looking at the character of the person. That’s what MLK advised us to do.
Despite Obama’s bullshit, I don’t think its America’s collective responsibility to take the lead in pulling up Negroes out of this perceived societal racist haze; it starts with the man or woman in the mirror. Whether you choose to be a lazy dependent retard or some homeless slug your individual choices determine your path.
I will always reject out of hand any presidential candidate who promotes himself or herself as an agent of change and “hope,” and sees themselves as some self proclaimed instrument of God. God is God. Not any human being. OB is not a rock star or the savior of the country. He is just one more politician running for President. And those who can’t get past his race to see what he really stands for (which is not much different from most other politicians) is guilty of discrimination themselves. They are treating him better then he deserves simply because they are aware of his race. And I object to that.

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Nearly a month ago, Chris Matthews declared on his “Hardball” show that the candidacy of Barack Obama gave him a “thrill up his leg.” With that, we witnessed the official beginning of Chris Matthews’ crush on BO.It was anticipated that in response to BO’s big speech yesterday on race, Chris Matthews would practically be blasting off into space gushing about how great it was and, as Geoffrey Dickens at Newsbusters reports, Matthews did not disappoint:
Sphere: Related Content******************
On Tuesday night’s “Hardball”, Chris Matthews praised the current Democratic frontrunner’s speech on race as “Worthy of Abraham Lincoln,” and also claimed it bypassed Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” address as the “best speech ever given on race in this country.” Of Barack Obama’s speech in Philadelphia today, Matthews went on to declare: “I think this is the kind of speech I think first graders should see, people in the last year of college should see before they go out in the world. This should be, to me, an American tract.”

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Snoop: “why do you hate Obama”
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008I will comment later, but I want my readers to digest so I will keep on top for today.
Guest Comment - By Chris
Sphere: Related ContentI couldn’t help but hunt down your blog in order to find out what you had to say about Obama’s speech. I have to say, I’m not surprised in the least by your response to the speech, but I am still confounded by your resistance to Barack Obama. Aside from the fact that Obama is a Democrat, a pronounced liberal, and relatively new to national politics, this speech is fairly representative of the fact that Obama has been in the process of trying to reconcile politics—there is very clearly, especially in this speech an effort at being non-partisan. I refuse to believe that you are ignoring the realities of the speech for any reason but to be contentious…For that reason, I’m gonna call you on it. I was generally able to respect the critiques you made of Obama’s speech until the grandmother thing—I simply don’t know anything about it, but at first glance it sounds like a cannon fodder-style low blow because there were not enough genuine critiques to be made. I’ll look into that as soon as I have an opportunity, but I’ll probably not comment about it though.
Fact is, the rest of your arguments are derived from the writings of Shelby Steele, whom I’m not surprised in the least that you align yourself with. In all honesty, even as a self-professed liberal, I can admit that there is some relevance to Steele’s critiques of the condition of the black community. Specifically, the argument that you posted regarding the shame principle underlying race-politics—which is a problematic argument to make because social-psychology is hard to prove, but I grant him that it was at least a fresh perspective—it’s fairly poignant. Perhaps one of our greatest problems so far as race is concerned is that we—black and white—have to continually look at each other’s greatest failures, and usually in the most spectacular manner—which was mentioned by Obama:
“We can tackle race only as spectacle – as we did in the OJ trial – or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina - or as fodder for the nightly news.”
I don’t think Steele goes far enough in that analysis. But this is about Obama, and not Steele. I’m sure that you saw the countless nods that Obama makes to Steele’s analysis. He says on one hand that slavery and discrimination having been left as unfinished left a legacy which we are still dealing with today,
“we do need to remind ourselves that so many of the disparities that exist in the African-American community today can be directly traced to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered under the brutal legacy of slavery and Jim Crow.”
and then he says that welfare programs may have even exacerbated that
“A lack of economic opportunity among black men, and the shame and frustration that came from not being able to provide for one’s family, contributed to the erosion of black families – a problem that welfare policies for many years may have worsened.”
—hell, you quoted it, so you had to see it. Perhaps you want him to use stronger language when he says it, but if your’e asking for acknowledgment there, guess what, you got it. Obama, on one hand, encourages black people to deal with their problems and get out of the victimhood paradigm,
“For the African-American community, that path means embracing the burdens of our past without becoming victims of our past. It means continuing to insist on a full measure of justice in every aspect of American life. But it also means binding our particular grievances – for better health care, and better schools, and better jobs - to the larger aspirations of all Americans — the white woman struggling to break the glass ceiling, the white man whose been laid off, the immigrant trying to feed his family. And it means taking full responsibility for own lives – by demanding more from our fathers, and spending more time with our children, and reading to them, and teaching them that while they may face challenges and discrimination in their own lives, they must never succumb to despair or cynicism; they must always believe that they can write their own destiny.”
but simultaneously is telling America as a whole to deal with issues of racism.
“In the white community, the path to a more perfect union means acknowledging that what ails the African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that the legacy of discrimination - and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt than in the past - are real and must be addressed. Not just with words, but with deeds – by investing in our schools and our communities; by enforcing our civil rights laws and ensuring fairness in our criminal justice system; by providing this generation with ladders of opportunity that were unavailable for previous generations. It requires all Americans to realize that your dreams do not have to come at the expense of my dreams; that investing in the health, welfare, and education of black and brown and white children will ultimately help all of America prosper.”
It sounds to me, and I’m certain you noticed, that Obama presented an effective synthesis of the continuum of perspectives from the black community; if you happen to find that synthesis to be synthetic, then all you are doing is seeking to see it that way. You never genuinely gave Obama a chance, and you didn’t really listen. He’s been proposing the exact same style of message since the beginning of his campaign, and, to be honest, until this speech I wasn’t sure if he was the right person to fill the president’s shoes. Frederick Douglass could’ve given a similar speech–and I might re-write it as Douglass just for the fun of it.
What makes my perspective somewhat unique is that I’m in Cape Town, South Africa right now. As issues of race get discussed in America, I’m looking at a nation which only 14 years ago was born out of conditions worse than Jim Crow. A nation which has had black leadership already. A nation which is currently trying to decide whether to go Left or Right on issues of reconciliation. Thus far, most of their policies are on the right with the exception of some ridiculous bureaucratic lefitst policies which are completely ineffectual. As I do some work in the townships, I find myself reflecting on conditions in American projects and ghettos. I find myself saying that here is a nation of Jim Crow, a whole damn nation structured around racism. The worst off in Cape Town are only somewhat worse off than the worst off in America, and they’ve been out of Apartheid for only 14 years. The Civil Rights Movement began—well, if we exclude people like Frederick Douglass and claim that the Movement wasn’t a part of a multi-centennial continuum—what we think of today as the Civil Rights Movement peaked in the late 1960’s, finally losing momentum after MLK’s death. We’re talking 40 years.
I see South Africa as a mirror image of the US on the African continent, at least as far as racism and society. One could argue that black Americans are where they are because they didn’t do enough to escape it, or one could argue that America didn’t do their job when they had the opportunity to deal with the structures we began with. We chose welfare instead of infrastructure, we’ve got gentrification instead of redevelopment, we’re outsourcing instead of creating jobs, we’re recruiting into the military instead of addressing the specific needs of inner-city schools so that America’s minoritized youth are guided into college—as opposed to the expectation that they find their way there on their own.
I’m not trying to essentialize the black experience as purely bad, but what I’m saying is that if South Africa’s structures reflect those of the US a decade after the Movement then I can finally get some kind of perspective of the kind of mission it is to overcome the legacy of oppression. It requires work from both sides. It’s not purely economics. I’m not even going to begin to endorse the “intergenerational relay race” of the completely insane black libertarians. What black people need anymore is a black leader’s chastisement, prodding, and devoted guidance and that’s on both sides of the Atlantic.
That leader also has to maintain the black communities confidence and respect. Of course, we could do it on our own, but to do that first requires setting those same infrastructures America’s been ignoring for decades and that the market is loathe to put into place. Use Detroit as one of the more extreme empirical examples. I’ve witnessed it in America, and I’m engaged in it here, black people everywhere have an entrepreneurial spirit. I don’t know a poor black person who isn’t engaged in some kind of hustle for cash, they just aren’t necessarily doing it right. And, if they are, the greater problem is what I’ve called “economic cannibalism”-an economic system that exists in poverty areas where people survive by feeding off of one another materially. It is the greatest hurdle in South African township economies, and it appears to be a problem in American ghettos almost on par with drugs. The problem is that welfare only keeps that economy moving, it keeps the people from migrating as they naturally would–an argument that Steele himself has made–but because of American bureaucratic structures, migrating probably wouldn’t help much anymore. I think America has missed the opportunity to do the development it needed at its easiest point. We need a little bit of a rewind, we need to make getting employed a little easier, and pay off a little more. We have to make saving worthwhile and train people in it.
There need to be more structures in place for people in poorer areas with the entrepreneurial spirit than there are for multi-national corporations. All I’m saying is that American social structure doesn’t help and racism is a part of the micro-structure of society (I pulled this analysis from the post because it was getting to be way too long). So long as we continue to act like social, political, and economic structures have no bearing upon the paths out of poverty, the only people who escape poverty will be the exceptional ones (that statement is intended to be non-racial). And, as I happen to agree with, until black people take agency for themselves—though many of us individually do so already—until black people as a whole take agency for themselves, then it just isn’t going to happen. What black people locked into the lower classes—whether you say it is psychologically or systematically—need most is a reason to believe that their condition can improve by their own labors. That the job that they might work isn’t draining their energy for nothing, that the job they’re working means something more than the difference between welfare and independence. They genuine faith in the American SYSTEM. Black people need to see over the horizon just enough to mobilize, and I don’t think that this “bootstraps” ideology is giving anyone that vision. If you genuinely think that (some)black people’s problems are in their heads anymore, then it becomes important to get inside (some of) their heads and appeal in a manner that gives them faith. Intense finger wagging isn’t gonna cut it (a la Steele and Cosby, and Cosby definitely essentializes).
Maybe Obama’s “HOPE” will?
Obama’s race rant, bla bla bla, “and my racist grandma!”
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008While some like this blogs focuses on this Shelby Steele article:
Mr. Obama’s broad appeal to whites makes him the first plausible black presidential candidate in American history. And it was Mr. Obama’s genius to understand this. Though he likes to claim that his race was a liability to be overcome, he also surely knew that his race could give him just the edge he needed — an edge that would never be available to a white, not even a white woman.
How to turn one’s blackness to advantage?
The answer is that one “bargains.” Bargaining is a mask that blacks can wear in the American mainstream, one that enables them to put whites at their ease…
See this is why folks who read my ranting blog would already know this is not new. As I have suggested before don’t read this little article read his book:
White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era
While most are linking to the above Shelby Steele article, I think the following article is a better illustration of Obama’s race rant: - Witness - Blacks, whites, and the politics of shame in America. From October 2005
Probably the single greatest problem between blacks and whites in America is that we are forever witness to each other’s great shames. This occurred to me in the immediate aftermath of Katrina, when so many black people were plunged into misery that it seemed the hurricane itself had held a racial animus. I felt a consuming empathy but also another, more atavistic impulse. I did not like my people being seen this way. Beyond the human mess one expects to see after a storm like this, another kind of human wretchedness was on display. In the people traversing waist-deep water and languishing on rooftops were the markers of a deep and static poverty. The despair over the storm that was so evident in people’s faces seemed to come out of an older despair, one that had always been there. Here–40 years after the great civil rights victories and 50 years after Rosa Parks’s great refusal–was a poverty that oppression could no longer entirely explain. Here was poverty with an element of surrender in it that seemed to confirm the worst charges against blacks: that we are inferior, that nothing really helps us, that the modern world is beyond our reach.
Of course, shame is made worse, even unbearable, when there is a witness, the eye of an “other” who is only too happy to use our shame against us. Whites and blacks often play the “other” for each other in this way, each race seeking a bit of redemption and power in the other’s shame. And both races live with the permanent anxiety of being held to account for their shames by the other race. So, there is a reflex in both races that reaches for narratives to explain shame away and, thus, disarm the “other.”
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the images of deep black poverty that emerged in Katrina’s aftermath were covered over in a narrative of racism: If Katrina’s victims had not been black, the response to their suffering would have been faster. It did not matter that a general lack of preparedness, combined with a stunning level of governmental incompetence and confusion, made for an unforgivably slow response to Katrina’s victims. What mattered was the invocation of the great white shame. And here, in white racism, was a shame of truly epic proportions–the shame of white supremacy that for centuries so squeezed the world with violence and oppression that white privilege was made a natural law. Once white racism–long witnessed by blacks and acknowledged since the ’60s by whites–was in play, the subject was changed from black weakness to white evil. Now accountability for the poverty that shamed blacks could be once again assigned to whites. If this was tiresome for many whites, it was a restoration of dignity for many blacks.
WHAT OBAMA SAID TODAY IN HIS SPEECH….
“race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now. We would be making the same mistake that Reverend Wright made in his offending sermons about America – to simplify and stereotype and amplify the negative to the point that it distorts reality.
The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we’ve never really worked through – a part of our union that we have yet to perfect. And if we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care, or education, or the need to find good jobs for every American.
Understanding this reality requires a reminder of how we arrived at this point. As William Faulkner once wrote, “The past isn’t dead and buried. In fact, it isn’t even past.” We do not need to recite here the history of racial injustice in this country. But we do need to remind ourselves that so many of the disparities that exist in the African-American community today can be directly traced to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered under the brutal legacy of slavery and Jim Crow.
Segregated schools were, and are, inferior schools; we still haven’t fixed them, fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, and the inferior education they provided, then and now, helps explain the pervasive achievement gap between today’s black and white students.
Legalized discrimination - where blacks were prevented, often through violence, from owning property, or loans were not granted to African-American business owners, or black homeowners could not access FHA mortgages, or blacks were excluded from unions, or the police force, or fire departments – meant that black families could not amass any meaningful wealth to bequeath to future generations. That history helps explain the wealth and income gap between black and white, and the concentrated pockets of poverty that persists in so many of today’s urban and rural communities.
A lack of economic opportunity among black men, and the shame and frustration that came from not being able to provide for one’s family, contributed to the erosion of black families – a problem that welfare policies for many years may have worsened. And the lack of basic services in so many urban black neighborhoods – parks for kids to play in, police walking the beat, regular garbage pick-up and building code enforcement – all helped create a cycle of violence, blight and neglect that continue to haunt us. “
Back to Steele…
A great problem in black American life is that we have too often avoided responsibility in order to avoid shame. This is understandable given the unforgiving pas de deux of mutual witness between blacks and whites in which each race prepares a face for the other and seizes on the other’s weaknesses with ravenous delight. And four centuries of persecution have indeed left us with weaknesses, and even a degree of human brokenness, that is shaming. Nevertheless, it is only an illusion to think that we can mute the sting of shame by charging whites with responsibility for us. This is a formula for running into the shame you run from.

Oh Obama’s white granny….
I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
Y’all remember this story: Free Obama’s White Grandmother
Sphere: Related ContentNo one else but Obama could get away with pretending that his paternal grandfather’s second or third or fourth wife was his “granny” when she wasn’t.
Maybe that’s the core of the antipathy between grandson and grandmother. Maybe that’s why Obama’s white grandmother is locked in purdah. She is offended that Obambi shamelessly highlights his black relatives in Kenya and, equally shamelessly, pretends his white relatives in Hawaii who actually raised him do not exist. It would hurt me.
No one could get away with pretending his white grandmother didn’t exist except a media witch doctor such as Obama.
Daily Kos Wishes U.S. Was Invaded To Regain Its ‘Compassion’

The diarist “professorfate” thinks Americans are not only a flock of sheep, but that they need an invasion and occupation on their own soil to get their empathy and their consciousness raised: ”It only took one incredibly destructive Civil War to make the United States realize that - oh well - this is really not an activity in which one wants to engage in one’s homeland - better to do it in someone else’s country.” (As LGF put it, “being invaded, slaughtered, and occupied is the only way we’ll become a nation of compassionate pacifists.”)

Back in November, Portfolio’s Jeff Bercovici pointed out that while 4 out of 12 covers of Men’s Vogue had black men; when Jennifer Hudson hit the cover of Vogue last March, she was only the third African-American celebrity to do so, though the magazine was founded in 1914.

Cartoon mocking Christians met ‘publishing’ criteria

“Last week, the University of Virginia’s student paper, The Cavalier Daily, ran a cartoon depicting a naked man smoking a cigarette in bed.

Obama on how to talk to whites
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008Sphere: Related ContentIn the good, old tradition of revolutionaries, Obama hides in plain print. So, before listening to his speech, it’s worth while to note the following passages from his autobiography:On p. 94-95 he describes an effective tactic to deal with White people:
It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved - such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time.
Indeed, when he was a community organizer (age 22 prior to going to law school) he happily cooperated with Rafiq, a former gangster turned Nation of Islam. He even believed that Black Nationalism was a good therapy for Blacks. That was also the reason he supported Wright (pp. 190-200). For he shares Michelle’s sentiments of alienation, came to believe that race should trump everything and it should be anti-white:
. . . :all the black people who, it turned out, shared with me a voice that whispered inside them - “You don’t really belong here.”In a sense, then, Rafiq was right when he insisted that, deep down, all blacks were potential Nationalists. The anger was there, bottled up and often turned inward. And . . . I wondered whether, for now at least, Rafiq wasn’t also right in preferring that that anger be redirected; whether a black politics that suppressed rage towards white generally, or one that failed to elevate race loyally above all else, was a politics inadequate to the task.
Global Warming Hoax Is a Stale Old Scare Warmed Over
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
This from Moonbattery
Other than having the militant backing of the world governmedia, the global warming hoax doesn’t have a whole lot going for it — not even originality. An AP article in the Washington Post tried to scare readers into buying some more papers by gasping:
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
This was back in 1922. If moonbats’ precious ice was already melting away 86 years ago, you’d think it would all be gone by now, wouldn’t you?
You could almost start to believe that the climate naturally fluctuates, regardless of what kind of light bulbs we use.

Sphere: Related ContentRegrets for slavery
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008By Walter Williams - Townhall
Both chambers of the Commonwealth of Virginia’s General Assembly passed a resolution saying government-sanctioned slavery “ranks as the most horrendous of all depredations of human rights and violations of our founding ideals in our nation’s history; and . . . the abolition of slavery was followed by . . . systematic discrimination, enforced segregation, and other insidious institutions and practices toward Americans of African descent that were rooted in racism, racial bias, and racial misunderstanding.” The General Assembly also expressed regret for the “exploitation of Native Americans.”
Isn’t that nice? I agree that slavery was an abomination, but I’m going to be even more generous than Virginia’s General Assembly. I regret the murder of an estimated 61 million people whom the former USSR executed, slaughtered, starved, beat or tortured to death. I also regret the Chinese government’s slaughter of 45 million Chinese; Hitler’s slaughter of 6 million Jews; the Khmer Rouge’s murder of 2 million Cambodians; the half a million Ugandans murdered by Idi Amin’s death squads; the million Hutus and Tutsis murdered in Rwanda’s genocidal bloodbath; and slavery that still exists in the Sudan and Mauritania.

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
Sphere: Related Content
(CNSNews.com) - Planned Parenthood of Idaho has apologized for an incident in which one of its employees assured a caller that his donation could be used to abort black babies, the Idaho Statesman reported.”A fundraising employee violated the organization’s principles and practices when she appeared to be willing to accept a racially motivated donation,” Planned Parenthood of Idaho CEO Rebecca Poedy said in a written statement to the Statesman.
”We apologize for the manner in which this offensive call was handled. We take full responsibility for the actions of the fundraising staff member who created the impression that racism of any form would be tolerated at Planned Parenthood,” Poedy said.
“We took swift action to ensure that each of our employees understands their responsibility to communicate clearly with donors about the fact that we believe in helping all individuals, regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation, make informed decisions about their reproductive health care.”
Cybercast News Service reported last month on a telephone conversations taped by a student pro-life publication, The Advocate, at the University of California-Los Angeles.
James O’ Keefe, a first-year law student and an advisor for the The Advocate, called Planned Parenthood of Ohio, posing as a potential donor.He said he wanted to make a donation, and he asked if the money could be used to underwrite abortions for minorities.
The Planned Parenthood employee responded, “If you specifically want to underwrite it for a minority person, you can target it that way. You can specify that that’s how you want it spent.”
O’Keefe responded, “Okay, yeah, because there’s definitely way too may black people in Ohio. So, I’m just trying to do my part.”
O’ Keefe explained that part of his motivation for placing the call was to fight the racism he perceives in Planned Parenthood.
The Advocate told Cybercast News Service that O’Keefe placed this call on July 10, 2007. Lisa Perks, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Central Ohio, confirmed that such a call did take place in summer 2007.
“It was a violation of any policy, and it’s very upsetting,” Perks told Cybercast News Service last month. “Planned Parenthood has a long history of social justice.”
Hussein: “God Bless America”
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
From Michelle Malkin
Sphere: Related ContentWe know how his wife and his pastor feel about America. It’s finally dawned on Barack Obama that they have been undermining his glow of HopeNChange. The Baltimore Sun notes an interesting moment at a press conference he gave yesterday:
Barack Obama avoided questions on the teachings of his long-time pastor in a press conference here, promising to address racially tinged comments made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a speech on race in America Obama plans to deliver Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Obama on Friday denounced as “inflammatory and appalling” comments Wright made that were circulated on video clips. Among them, Wright said blacks should sing “God damn American” instead of “God bless America.” Obama said he was not present when Wright made those comments.
But reporters at the press conference sought to probe Obama on his understanding of Wright’s views about white America and why he chose to raise his children at Trinty United Church of Christ, where Wright was pastor until recently.
Obama has had a long and close relationship with Wright, crediting the pastor with leading him to embrace Christianity and taking the title for his book “The Audacity of Hope” from one of Wright’s sermons. Obama was married by Wright and his children were baptized by Wright.
At a rally shortly before his press conference today, Obama uncharacteristically ended his remarks with the phrase “God bless America.”
Obama and race
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008Man I have been feeling like shit the last several days so not a lot of new posts or observations.
I’m waiting for the BIG Obama speech as he tries to explain away his Pastor’s racist anti-Honkey rants.
Quick note for you white people who happen to read this. Most old black dudes think you white people are fucked up to some degree. Let’s face it; there is a lot of history behind that.
The dilemma for old black folks is that some of us progressive Negros has enough common fucken sense to know that all white people are not out to get us.
Shit black people have been robbing and killing and scamming each other for the longest. Just because a mutherfucker has your same skin pigmentation does not mean he has your best interest at heart.
Will Obama throw Wright under the bus? Well not likely because Wright’s message is Obama’s message. He will try really damm hard to scam you white people into thinking that as incendiary as his pastor’s message was, it was (your) white racism that “forced” him to think that way. “Elect me and I will calm Negros hatred of white people and show them that there are actually some decent white people in the world.”
Sphere: Related ContentBarack Obama: A Radical Masquerading as a Moderate
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008Obama is very much like his spiritual advisor… This is a November 2006 article.
Sphere: Related ContentSen. Barack Obama’s (D.-Ill.) platform is his politics of “understanding.” [tag]Obama[/tag] has been careful not to define the issues upon which he runs; rather, he explains that it is time to “move forward,” to discard “ideology,” to reach a new “common ground” built on an “understanding” of broad-based values. Of course, this is pure Grade A pap, since Obama fails to define those values, except in broad generalities. Yes, he’s for the flag (but not against burning it — he voted against the flag-protection amendment), motherhood (as long as taxpayers foot the bill for daycare and abortion on demand remains legal) and apple pie (he has not had to vote on apple pie). But where does he stand?
Obama is a liberal, and a rather radical liberal at that. According to Obama’s new best seller, [tag]”The Audacity of Hope,”[/tag] Obama hates Ronald Reagan: He was “disturbed … by Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980 … unconvinced … by his John Wayne, “Father Knows Best” pose, his policy by anecdote, and his gratuitous assaults on the poor.” (31)
He loves Jimmy Carter: “a Democrat who — with his emphasis on human rights — seemed prepared to once again align moral concerns with a strong defense.” (288)
Despite his protestations to the contrary, he dislikes President Bush: “The President’s eyes became fixed; his voice took on the agitated, rapid tone of someone neither accustomed to nor welcoming interruption; his easy affability was replaced by an almost messianic certainty.” (45) He repeats “war for oil” slander: “Is cheap oil worth the costs — in blood and treasure — of war?” (310)
He slimes Rush Limbaugh: “if Rush Limbaugh’s listeners enjoy hearing him call me ‘Osama Obama,’ my attitude is, let them have their fun.” (122) As Limbaugh has explained repeatedly, it was Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass.), who first mislabeled Obama “Osama.” Limbaugh is making fun of Kennedy, not Obama, when he references the misnomer.
Obama insults evangelicals: “Their fervor has gone mainstream. There are various explanations for this success, from the skill of evangelicals in marketing religion to the charisma of their leaders.” (202)
He suggests that the Bible tolerates homosexuality: “For many practicing Christians, the same inability to compromise may apply to gay marriage. I find such a position troublesome, particularly in a society in which Christian men and women have been known to engage in adultery or other violations of their faith without civil penalty. … I [am not] willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount.” (222)
He rehashes worn-out liberal anti-religious arguments: “Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests that slavery is all right and eating shellfish is an abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?” (218) Then, after all of that, he also attempts to capitalize on his own religious journey: “I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth.” (208)
Obama is a fervent believer in global warming and wants to dramatically raise fuel efficiency standards as well as taxes on oil companies. He wants to raise minimum wage and expand the Earned Income Tax Credit. Though he says he’s for free trade, he voted against CAFTA. He wants to spend billions more dollars on early education, though Head Start has been a debacle. He wants to heavily regulate health care and, in doing so, essentially nationalize it. He wants to raise taxes across the board.
He cites as his economic guru Warren Buffett and quotes him as stating, “[Billionaires] have this idea that it’s ‘their money’ and they deserve to keep every penny of it. What they don’t factor in is all the public investment that lets us live the way we do.” (191) This is Marxist trash. “Capital is therefore not a personal, it is a social power,” Marx wrote in “[tag]The Communist Manifesto.[/tag]” Viewing private property as social property is a mandate to tyranny. Yet that’s precisely how Obama views private property: “I simply believe that those of us who have benefited most from this new economy can best afford to shoulder the obligation of ensuring every American child has a chance for that same success.” (193)
These are not the words of a moderate. They are the words of a man who fits right in with his radical base. The hatred for Reagan, Bush and, in particular, the revulsion he feels at traditional religion, is palpable. Those who endorse Obama must look beyond his fraudulent rhetoric before signing off on his agenda.
( I said this Oct of 06) Can Barack Obama be president? Only if he changes his skin color and name
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008This Pastor Wright controversy was the perfect opportunity for anti-Negro presidential rednecks to pounce.
I’m listening to Rush, I watched Opera where Obama was on there being his charming self.
I read the Times articles and all of the shit being circulated about Mr. Obama.
But ole Snoop is just gonna come right out and tell you people straight up what nobody else will say.
This collective orgasm about dude is all bullshit.
I have said countless numbers of times that this country will NEVER, EVER, EVER, did I say NEVER, elect a black man as president. I don’t give a shit if Jesus Christ came down and personally campaigned for him.
This country is not going to elect a nigga for president.
The only reason why the Times and all of these white folks in the media are pumping up dude is they want to keep black folks thinking that the Democratic Party is the party for black folks.
Democrats see the trend of blacks considering their options at the voting booth and the blacks running in prominent races around the country on the Republican side.
So to stem the tide they are going to prop up brotha Obama and woo the likes of Oprah and other people who are easily manipulated by his charm and wit. “Lookie here is a negro we like”
But let me tell you something else NOBODY WILL SAY, not only is this country unlikely to vote for a black man for prez, they sure as hell won’t vote for a dude named OBAMA. OSAMA, OBAMA OSAMA OBAMA. Get it!
I can hear the rednecks now, “I’m not voting for some sand, nigger to run this country.”
Also the fact that he is from a mixed race background, who are you people kidding?
I’m sick of all of these talk shows and news segments talking about dude without addressing the most basic of issues (HUMAN BEINGS) and their fucked up prejudices.
And I have not even addressed dudes politics.
So as 2008 approaches remember, Snoop exposed the truth first.
Oh and those of you who want to throw out the “what about Powell or Rice?” er uh, no.

I wrote this back during the Andrew Young foot in mouth episode some time ago, but I am reposting this with Obama’s retarded ass pastor in mind.
Obama is going to give some major speech on race tomorrow. It no doubt will be filled with a bunch of America loving platitudes and patriotic bullshit as he tries to explain his pastor’s nonsense.
Folks there is one thing I know and that is we all are a bunch of prejudice fucks some more than others. The problem is few are honest about them.
I have heard since these You Tube clips of pastor Wright came out that this kind of anti-American rhetoric is spoken in black churches around the country. Sure instead of explaining your own crap just say “well other Niggas is sayin the same thang.”
Just as Obama decided to raise money for a racist fuck, he decided on that krazy ass church. Typically the type of fiery hate whitey rants are reserved for congregations with low IQ’s and Negros with a permanent chip on their shoulders.
No reasonable black individual would tolerate sitting in that church listening to that bullshit unless they has some significant learning disabilities OR if you were a mixed race black dude trying to prove that you are “down” for the cause.
Now on the campaign trail posing for pictures with giddy young clueless white girls is good political PR but I wonder, how did he reconcile this with his militant pastor?
Obama has a lot of selling to do on this race shit, but the damage has been done.
All he can do now is lie his ass off and try to kiss whitey’s ass to the chagrin of Negros in the hood. Good luck!
*******************
First my customary warning to squeamish individuals who may have found my blog accidentally and therefore may have their heads explode after they read my diatribe.
I need to look into writing a book, or at least having some geek help me write one, maybe I can score movie rights and make a few bucks. What would the title be?
The Unapologetic Negro – My attempt at explaining Negro foibles to White America.I have sat all morning and afternoon trying to come up with something relatively original to try and explain Negros like Andrew Young and someone who most folks would consider a reasonable and thoughtful individual can spout off to a crowd full of other ignorant Negros and say what he did.
First, you must remember, this is the age of You Tube. I don’t care what any MSM journalist, politicians; political pundit says I think the You Tube is the greatest asset to Democracy ever. Simply because ignorant ass people like Young will never ever be able to get away with stunning examples of immense ignorance and get away with it.
It is no longer necessary to have some third party interpret stupidity for us, just post their unfiltered ignorance for the masses to digest.
People I said in an earlier post that what Young said is something that my father might say. Any old black dude 60 plus years of age is likely to have his mindset. Old black men are the most racist people on the planet because they (we) have anger and mistrust from every damm body from back in the day.
Let me come clean on some prejudice issues. As a young man I hated Japanese people. I read, I believe in high school, a speech given by the chairman of Toyota (not 100% sure) I know it was the chairman of one of the automobile manufactures where dude said basically that he did not like the idea of building automotive plants in the United States because they would be forced to hire blacks. Dude basically said that black people were lazy and corrupt and being forced to hire them would hurt the bottom line.
I carried my hatred towards Japanese people for quite some time, in fact, when I went into the Air Force I lobbied hard not to ever be sent to Japan because I did not want to live near them.I believed for the longest time the Japanese people were the most xenophobic mutherfuckers on the planet. One of the reasons why I love General Patton so much he hated and wanted to kill Germans and when he was done he wanted to do the same thing to Japs (as he put it)
Muslims; I mentioned on this blog an incident in high school where we jumped a bunch of Iranian students for burning the American flag; this was during the Iran hostage crisis.
I also mentioned the first kid I ever knew from a foreign country, Hagope who was from Iraq, I was in the fourth grade, so this was 1973 or so. Anywho this kid would go on and on about how crappy America was, and how stupid American were, all the time living in a kick ass house on the hill above mine, both of his parents were surgeons making big time money, but this kid when I first met him could not complete a sentence without ripping America. You think that was by accident!?As a result, for years, exaggerated by the flag burning incident in high school I really hated Muslims or anyone who looked like them. None of the earlier terrorists crap perpetrated by Muslims in the 80’s and early 90’s was hardly a shock to me. I said years ago that one day were would be forced into a war with these people. They will be blowing up buildings and reeking havoc here, led by my little friend Hagope.
I honestly carry much of that angst with me today. Remember this started at what age 9 or 10!
This is another reason why it pisses me off when politicians lie about them claiming that they “change their views on issues or people” fucken liars. Except for my extreme repulse for gay men, most of my basic prejudices are still in tact. I’m just completely honest about them.FYI, my repulse of gays came from my earlier field trips to San Francisco and seeing first hand those gay right parades first hand and watching these freaks jack each other off in public and do other tasteless shit for public amusement. Trust me when I tell you the parades were far worse back then 70’s and 80’s because at least today to some degree gays in their attempt to become more “mainstream” and not be pegged by intolerant people like me as being sexual freak deviant fucks try to keep that ridiculous behavior in check.
Ah Mexicans, growing up in Oakland, tensions between blacks and Mexicans were always at a fever pitch. Fights between Mexicans and blacks were common.
Mexicans were notorious for jumping blacks to intimidate them into staying out of certain parts of the city.
Until I met a good friend John Guiffre in the Air Force I never had a friend or an acquaintance who was Mexican, I could not stand any Spanish speaking individual.
I had Mexicans say to me back then that we “Americans” took their land from them and their goal was to eventually get it back. Now folks I’m 44 so this current outrage with illegal immigration is just amusing to me, Mexicans have been talking about taking shit over since I was a kid. So the prejudice carried on.
John use to joke about “we Mexicans are gonna take over, just wait.” I never took it as a joke, as we all know all humor has some semblance of truth behind it.White people; well my world was torn. When we first moved to our neighborhood in Oakland I had not spent any considerable time around any white people. My first time adventuring out into the hood I came across this little white girl Barbara, she was as curious about me as I was about her. She clearly has never been about any little black boys and asked me questions about everything from my favorite toys to how my hair did that Afro thing. Oh and peep this she even asked did I have to “vacuum” my hair? Seriously, no shit! You white people are so crazy, LOL!
At the time I did not care I was so smitten with her we became best buds. She introduced me to the other kids in the hood, mostly white girls, to the chagrin I of the white daddies in the hood.
All invited me into their homes at first; others strangely enough would never invite me into their homes as we grew older.
Some later admitted that their parents did not like black people and some were told not to associate with me, but they never followed their parents’ advice. They were good friends and I enjoyed talking to them I became their little Negro confidant, LOL!This was my dilemma, the majority of my friends in those early days were white, any I’ll admit something else, the major reason why most of my friends were white was because they never asked me for anything. We shared, our toys, our candy and friendship, we had conversations about all kinds of stuff. Even the racism stuff I and other black kids who would slowly populate the school experienced.
I started to live in two worlds, I would visit my black friends who lived on the other site of Mills College (at that time an all girl’s college) and when I wanted to remain close to home I hung with the white kids. Some other black kids would enter the circle of friends but they were noticeable uncomfortable being around white kids.
Some use to say, “my dad would kill me if he caught me in a white girls house.”My father would not forbid me from entering a white person’s house but he always advised extreme caution. He would say to me “don’t give these white folks a reason to call the police on you, cause they will do so in a minute”
I along with my middle brother were the perfect little Negro kids. I would help the moms carry in groceries and thank them for making me lunch and complement them on their cookies. My brother Chris was doing lawns for some of them, and was even asked to baby-sit one of my friends little babies. In fact they named their new son Christopher because they liked my brother so much.
We were polite, well behaved, respectful, non threatening.
Our yard was well maintained to white standards and no loud James Brown music could be heard coming from out home, LO
