The Ugly Stubborn Obstacle Of Ignorant Obstinate You


“If you call yourself a lover of democracy, but have not studied the black diaspora, your deeds mock your claims. Understanding requires more than sloganeering, and parroting—it requires confronting our failures,...

The overall failure of American conservatives to forthrightly deal with South Africa's white-supremacist regime, coming so soon after their failure to deal with the white-supremacist regime in their own country, is part of their heritage, and thus part of our heritage. When you see a Tea Party protestor waving the flag of slavery in front of the home of the first black president, understand that this instinct has been cultivated. It is still, at this very hour, being cultivated,...

To not see this requires a special disposition, a special blindness, a special shamelessness, a special idiocy.”

  1. Crack is a crippled weakling who will do nothing but beg once his government cheese allotment stops.

    He won't fight anything or anybody, except the occasional beat down he puts on any white woman stupid enough to hang around his crib.

    It is a crib, because he is a big baby.

  2. "Crack is a crippled weakling…blah, blah…"

    Truth is, if Jesus gay married Ronald Reagan, General Patton, and Lenny Bruce… and they had a baby…
    that baby would be Crack.

  4. Actually, S. Africa has been a big focus for many U.S. conservatives (until recently for some).

    I already mentioned that the Cold War mentality quite nearly blew up in our faces vis a vis S. Africa, but we have managed to evade that. Hopefully, we continue to do so, as S. Africa is still a work in progress -- and it behooves us very much to understand that it isn't a black and white (pardon the pun) situation. There are many factions and individual players involved, and especially now with the death of Mandela things could become unsettled for a time as the country comes to terms with this -- fortunately most reports from S.A. are pretty confident that thanks to free elections they will not go the way of some of their neighboring states...which is a good thing, and we should be very interested in keeping that country as not only an ally but in a good shape...things will likely be heating up on the continent in the next few decades imhao.

    We need to be careful how we plot our own course in Africa -- thank you W -- there will likely be several temptations to allow others to call the shots entirely and we just react to them (a big mistake).
