in NAACP Spends Half of Jena 6 Money on NAACP on Jack and Jill Politics
Anonymous, thank you for posting AverageBro's solutions.


And SquarePeg, I agree with you. :(



Christian, I'm ok with a lot of board members as long as something gets done. Looks like folks have treated this like a fiefdom and a title instead of a place to work out solutions. All that to say, I see your point, and I want to hang my head.

in When It Comes To Michelle Obama, Where Are The Feminists? on Jack and Jill Politics
@Anonymous said... "There seems to be a pattern of the Republicans and their henchmen attacking the Democratic nominee's wife -- no matter who she is. "




Republicans aren't the problem here. So-called Democrats and so-called Feminists are. One expects slings and arrows from one's enemies --



the real test is where one's 'friends' are. And those 'friends' are absent.



Angela, thank you for the column. Town, WORD to both of your posts. Required reading. Jed, you don't want to see, so there's no opening your eyes until you open them yourself. NMP, remember what Malcolm said about that type of thing?



Sara, intensity is everything -- and it just ain't there for Michelle, as it continues to be for Hillary.

Are these awards solely for our amusement, or is something sent to the recipient? Maybe make up an official looking diploma and send it off via email. Really, you ought to share the love.

I agree. These fools are not going to get it unless it's in their faces. That was very offensive. And no, dws, he won't be a 'tragic mulatto' when he does something they don't like --

in Battle of the Spouses: Latest Poll Results on Jack and Jill Politics
Misslynette, Cindy cheated with McCain, then stood by while McCain was screwing strippers at least through the 80s. McCain chose Cindy out of the hoes he was screwing behind Carol's back, because Cindy had the most money.


Cindy's family is the one who set McCain up for his political life.



Cindy cannot complain about jack, because she's the one who cheated with a married man 20 some odd years older than her. The only thing good about Cindy is her adopting a little girl who needed a home.

in It’s So Wrong - Yet So Funny on Jack and Jill Politics
Lt. Uhura had one of the most important jobs on the ship. You're in the middle of the vacuum of space -- if you can't can't communicate, you're dead. Communication is life. Communication means home.


For me, it took Dualla -- and her importance as 'The Voice' -- on Battlestar Galactica to realize just how important Lt. Uhura was.

in Why We Must Challenge Fake Noise on Jack and Jill Politics
@Anonymous, I think that's exactly what it is: an expectation of pandering.


Well, the Obamas is grown folks, even if black folks are used to being treated like children by white folks (read: Democrats) who don't give a fuck about us in the long run, except for our votes.



We need to grow up.

in Why We Must Challenge Fake Noise on Jack and Jill Politics
What Barack Obama said on Father's Day had to be said, and I'm appalled at the people who are upset that he said it.


We have problems in the black community. Not talking about it is not helping. Everybody in that congregation was clapping cuz they knew he was telling the truth. It wasn't even like Obama was only talking about the bad black men do, but the tough of tough love is the only thing being remembered and not the love part of tough love.



BLACK MEN NEED TO STEP UP. And BLACK WOMEN NEED TO STEP UP, TOO. If black people don't want to hear it, black people will continue down the same jacked up path to nowhere.

Why was an 'indian or pakistani' mocking Michelle in the first place? Was it a real 'indian or pakistani' or someone pretending to be, like the fool with that horrible 'black' accent during the OJ chase?


As for not getting the joke, I'm glad he didn't. The mocker is the one to be slapped.

in Joint Crabby McCrab And Flava Flav Awards on Jack and Jill Politics
dang, marci, that one dude looks like an albino african-american. as for stereotypes:


The 'Angry' Black Woman is really the 'Depressed' Black Woman. I read an article about it years ago, really blew my mind. I can't find it. Instead,





Validity: Challenges Recognizing Depression



I think many young black women who are depressed get stereotyped as angry, aggressive and violent. If a physician does not fully understand how culture and race play a role in how you express yourself and your feelings, illnesses such as depression may be undermined or overlooked. It is very difficult for black females to find physicians who can relate to them.



"A western doctor takes the visual signs of his patients seriously. If they have a broken arm, he acknowledges their pain. If they have fever, then he looks for other symptoms and makes a diagnosis and treats the problem. When I came into my doctor's office, I gave him my symptoms. They were not taken seriously because they were not physical."

in R. Kelly Found Not Guilty on Jack and Jill Politics
reasonable doubt is reasonable doubt.


this 'if it were a white girl' stuff ignores the fact that the state went above and beyond to prosecute a black man in the first place. who's devalued now? would they have done this to a white man, whether or not the girl was black, white, asian, whatever?



if you all really want to make R. Kelly pay for being stupid, don't buy his products, and demand radio stations don't buy his productions -- even if your favorite artist is attached to them.



me, when alleged victims aren't the ones pushing a case, i don't care how old the alleged victim is -- i look to see what the motives are of the prosecuting side. is it really about protecting the innocent, or about something else?

Those *are* reasons black men don't date black women. I don't think he should be pilloried just for putting up the list. It's already out there. Now, if he's putting the list up because he actually believes those, THAT'S when he gets assassinated.


But anyone who's ever been to any of the interracial dating sites exclusively catering to black men-white women knows what he's writing is exactly what goes through the mind of those men who hate black women.



Likewise, at interracial dating sites exclusively catering to black women-white menthere's a similar list as to why black women don't date black men, and it's just as ugly.

in Children, Today’s Term Is "Birth Certificate" on Jack and Jill Politics
by the way, I feel really badly for all the Freepers who are trying to talk sense into the few nutters about how birth certificates are issued post 9/11, and why the laws they keep trying to attach to Obama don't apply, courtesy of their own evidence in black and white. nothing they say is getting through to the nimrods who keep trying to say this birth certificate is fake and Obama isn't a citizen.


i think this birth certificate thing is a case of a few squeaky wheels trying to start b.s. and make their numbers seem larger and louder than what they really are. i have to wonder if they really are Republicans, at this point, just as I wondered whether the Hillaryis44ers were truly Democrats.



this is going to be like the fake 'he didn't put his hand over his heart' nonsense, though. there are some really skeevy diabolical people out there who are getting off on passing around false information that they KNOW is false just so they can have the reaction they want.

in Loving Vs Virginia and the Interracial Thing on Jack and Jill Politics
@anonymous, is it about status symbols or peace? what *I've* heard is that black men marry white women because they feel more at peace with white women, white women are more submissive, black women are almost 'like men'. white women make a black man feel masculine.


that's not about status symbols. i haven't pulled up the article. was that included in it?

in Loving Vs Virginia and the Interracial Thing on Jack and Jill Politics
I can't lie. That picture always bothered me, because it looked like he was trying to make her submit, trying to control her. And then come to find out they started 'dating' when she was 11 and he was 19. Those were the times but jesus. What was up?


HOWEVER, they stayed together, and he must have had something to him to stick in a marriage where he would be destroyed, too, in the eyes of his fellow whites, for choosing not to keep her as his 'second family' and instead choosing to make him and her legal and official and public. So I give him a pass.



As for the black woman who notices black people staring, the thing about that is that sometimes people bring it on themselves. They expect to be stared at, so they subconsciously do things to be stared at.



For myself, I'm not one of those women black men with white women will diss their white women to talk to; I'm one of those women a black men with a white woman will pretend doesn't exist... right until the white women leaves the vicinity, then they're suddenly willing to talk to me. It's either something in them, or something in me. Or both.

this is beyond stupid. have you seen the painful twistings of the constitution where they're trying to claim Obama isn't a US citizen because his mother wasn't 21 when she had him?


these people are certifiable looney tunes. and they're serious. that's what's frightening.

in Am I the only One Sick of the NAACP? on Jack and Jill Politics
PTcruiser, to me doesn't matter if it was expected or not. It matters whether it was done or not. If the NAACP would have intervened but chose not to in order to punish him for switching political parties that's wrong. Justice is justice, and should be decried when it's denied to one's friends or one's enemies.


What did DuBois do, though? I haven't heard this, but I'm not up on my NAACP history. The only thing I know about is the struggle between blacks and Jews for leadership, and I only know that faintly.
