Man I get so frustrated with the “government” sometimes. As I sit here in the airport waiting for my flight back to Los Angeles I hear on the news that the senate majority leader said something stupid about Barack Obama being electable because he is light skinned and doesn’t have a “negro” dialect unless he wants one.
I should probably state that I too am African American, significantly darker than Barack Obama, and I also do not have a “negro” dialect, unless I want one. I heard this and thought, “BFD the man is speaking the truth in a very blunt way.” But of course next come the republicans comparing it to Trent Lott’s 2002 comments. And then on top of that they have the Cajones to say that Harry Reid should resign because Trent Lott was forced to resign.
As an African American, I must say that Trent Lott’s comments are much worse. Trent Lott basically said that he wished that in 1948 a president that would have made sure that I would be looking at “whites only” and “Colored People” signs was elected. Oh yes, that is so comparable to a blunt statement of fact.
Gah I am so annoyed. Whatever as soon as I get home and start working on Omega Supreme’s new engine all of this frustration will melt away.
