I just realized something. I’m pretty sure most of the people commenting haven’t read enough poetry in the past few years to have any standards whatsover. That’s why the stilted iambic tetrameter of Houseman was brought up by stonestools. And it’s not necessarily bad that people who admit they don’t read poetry feel so free [...]
In an appearance in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Illinois Democrat’s address was interrupted when several young black males stood up, hoisted a banner that read, “What about the black community, Obama?” and began peppering the Senator for not focusing on their concerns.
Obama told them they would have time to ask questions after the speech was [...]
“On a day when major news organizations across the country are taking Senator McCain to task for a steady stream of false, negative attacks, his campaign has launched yet another. Or, as some might say, ‘Oops! He did it again.’ Our dependence on foreign oil is one of the greatest challenges we face. In this [...]
There were always people who had more money and more power and those who had hardly scraped some food to stay alive. And it is not surprising that those two classes of society won’t ever find common views and topics. The first ones spend millions dollars for their expensive vehicles and the only their thoughts [...]
I’ll go on record as saying that abortion is icky. Okay, it’s a lot more complicated than that, but if I were a woman and got pregnant, I’d want to carry the baby to term. And if a girl I was sleeping with got pregnant, I’d want to rearrange my life to make it possible [...]
The notion of ‘normal’ is part of our collective conscious. We, as a group of people tend to believe that there are certain things which are good and superior as compared to the others we refer to as ‘bad’ which is akin to ugly and inferior. Color of skin is one of those areas where [...]
Looks like Barack Obama cannot make everybody happy these days. Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson tore into Obama with comments he thought were off-air. However the video was presented on the O’Reilly Factor show on FoxNews, July 9th 2008. Drudge broke the story earlier in the day.
So what did Jackson say? In the video [...]
This is freaking ridiculous! This woman is so ignorant. It’s sickening that we have people like this in America. First off, just because a person is an Arab, doesn’t make them a terrorist, nor does it automatically mean that he/she is a Muslim. In fact, only about 12% of the world’s population of Muslims are [...]
So is the racial struggle artificially created or there is a problem:
“I’m very disappointed,” Rev. Al Sharpton said today about the news that Rev. Jesse Jackson used the “N-word” during the same off-camera moment recently in which Jackson uttered a crude remark about Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama.
The difference between white pathology and black pathology is that white people and white pathologies exceed the number of black people and black pathologies. Thus, white pathologies seem “normal” and excuseable as “kids being kids”. White pathologies are also seen as relatively harmless because many people did the same thing when they were kids. (The [...]
