Did you mean to use past tense, "persisted long after emancipation."?  'Cuz I would have gone with the present tense of "persists". lol.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Seriously, I find it fascinating that Germany, as a country, posseses the humility to erect monuments to those people they killed, and that includes Jews. I think an earlier poster failed to realize that the monuments to Jews ALREADY exist in Germany, they were referenced indirectly in the article.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Further I disagree that slavery could not be classififed as genocide because outright killing of slaves would be counterproductive to slavery.  Counterproductive or not, many of those taken as slaves perished on the way to America and/or on the way to their final destination due to neglect starvation and poor treatment.  The slave trade decimated whole villages and tribes back in Africa.  The slaves that did survive the journey were so brutally treated that many died unnatural and early deaths.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Contrary to assertions that the point of holding slaves was to hold them and not to exterminate them, most american slave owners were so violently cruel and inhumane in their treatment of slaves that they inspired both England and Canada to outlaw slavery long before America.  Further American slaveholders treated slaves as the original "renewable resource", there was no care taken not to damage the merchandise - not when there was an entire continent of replacements to be had back in Africa.  &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is estimated that as many as 4 to 6 million Africans taken for the slave trade died.  Given that slavery was based on the notion that the color of our skin was reason enough to assume our subhumananity and to enslave us I don't know what else you could call slavery but a systematic destruction of a race or culture.  In my dictionary that spells genocide.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think the argument only proves the point the author was trying to make in the first place.  In this Country many find it easier to downplay the severity of slavery and the following jim crow oppression than to face the real consequences of such actions and  the lingering effects.  Its easier to make theoretical, academic and technical arguments than it is to take a good long hard look inward and challenge cherished beliefs about the structure of our society and how it came to be.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:55:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: My Take On The Lewis Flip</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/my_take_on_the_lewis_flip/#comment-1954836</link><description>"Pretty much explains the last forty years of race and gender politics in America between black men and white women, doesn't it?"&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;LOL!

White women truly do not get the extent to which they have excluded women of color from the movement by its focus and priorities.  They truly do not grasp the level of privilege they enjoy that the rest of us don't.  They often appear as breathless as I at the thought that we all aren't standing behind them as the adoring female negro throng.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That "many people" don't appreciate the issue doesn't chap my hide nearly as much as the thought that other women, white women, just do NOT get the issue.  Why refer to it as the National Orgnization of Women when it seems more like the National Organization of White Women?&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Ain't I woman?"&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 11:38:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: AYFKM Hillary? !@!# Yes We Will????</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/ayfkm_hillary_yes_we_will/#comment-1955067</link><description>I don't know why I am dumbfounded with each new low to which the Clinton machine sinks.  Am I the only one who, however briefly, wonders if there isn't some other plausible rational explaination.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On seeing this I was schoked then livid and then I wondered, is she self-sabotaging?  Does she see some way of saving face in being able to claim later that her strategy failed her, her staff was ineffective...rather than acknowledging that she was beaten fair and square?&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But then I come to my senses and the cold realization that this is Hakim's (sp?) razor in action: the simpliest explaination tends to be the correct one.

You of course, are right - we shouldn't vote based on our race or our sex.  But that is neither stated nor implied in the article.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jill is quite clear in her call for CBC superdelegates to vote with their districts rather than against their districts.  She even acknowledges that some might then be casting for Clinton in the districts she won.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maybe we're all so used to seeing/hearing this race based voting assumption in the mainstream media that it's permanently etched on our retinas and eardrums and now we see/hear it everywhere.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:08:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: I Can&amp;#8217;t Believe I&amp;#8217;m About to Link To George Will</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/i_can8217t_believe_i8217m_about_to_link_to_george_will/#comment-1955182</link><description>mmmm, no nichelle.

As a Clinton surrogate she spends as much time defending Ms Ann as she does making personal attacks on Obama.  Why is that?  I don't see any of the other Clinton surrogates as shrill and irrational in their denouncement of all things Obama.  It got me to thinking... &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Last week on the Field Negro a commentator stated they were a Washington insider and knew firsthand how many of the female CBC members had "cougar'd" up on Obama when he first hit the Washington scene only to be turned down flat.  I thought it just idle gossip but now, I wonder if there isn't something to it.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maybe I am just imagining things, but Tubbs acts as if it's less about defending Clinton as it is about throwing some venom down on Obama.  Did he do something, real or imagined, to offend her personally?&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 27 Feb 2008 11:16:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Rebecca Walker on &amp;quot;Feminist Infightin&amp;quot;</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/rebecca_walker_on_quotfeminist_infightinquot/#comment-1956022</link><description>"As a black woman, more often than not, you have to choose where you're going to stand on things. And despite being a feminist, I'm black first. I have to be. I don't even see it as a choice."&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amen Black Snob, amen.

As I understood it, she could then claim to have the ability to win the more important swing states and therefore continue to argue she has better electability.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am pretty sure it was on this blog that I first heard of this Hail Mary strategy or something similar to this.  Well, I guess you called it.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'll be working the phones calling Texas tonight to help out the Obama Campaign.

"Stick to the plan" is a reference to an earlier comment in another thread where  Ronnie B suggested that instead of allowing ourselves to be taken for granted that, if the worst comes to pass, we all go independent.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That's independent, not Republican.  In fact, immediately aligning ourselves with any party defeats the beauty and simplicity of Ronnie B's plan.  As is, we are the base of the Democratic party, they need us to carry the day.  But what if we held ourselves as a block of independent voters - whichever party wanted to prevail would have to "court" us.  I guarantee you, if they had to court us we would see a change in attitude and tatics right quick.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But that's Plan B - Plan A is to win this bad boy.  To that end we need to make sure we spend as much time doing whatever the campaign needs: donating, recruiting, etc., to make sure we stay in this to win this.  It ain't over yet and nothing good can come of allowing all HRC's negativity to sap the positive energy and momentum (yes I said MOMENTUM) that Obama has as the front runner in this primary.  He's on top and we need to keep him on top - open up that lead and leave her behind.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;GO OBAMA!!&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:41:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: I Know I am Going to Catch Hell for This, But&amp;#8230;</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/i_know_i_am_going_to_catch_hell_for_this_but8230/#comment-1956615</link><description>Jill, I respect your position but cannot go that way myself for all of the reasons posted above by other commentators.  In the event Obama is not the nominee I will leave the Democractic party permanently and register as Independent and encourage all others who cry foul to do the same.I'm voting for Obama.  Period.  I don't care if I have to write his name in.  That's where my vote goes.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 07 Mar 2008 20:51:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Big Up Andrew Sullivan on Pastor Wright</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/big_up_andrew_sullivan_on_pastor_wright/#comment-1957716</link><description>Jack here's another article for you: &lt;a href="http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/03/do-you-understand-what-youve-d.php%3Cbr%3E%3C/br%3E%3Cbr%3Eseems" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/...&lt;/a&gt; like many of the bloggers at Talking points get it, although many of their commentators do not.

This came up as I was explaining, several months back, to him and some other friends why I was voting for Obama. I made points outlining Obama's strengths and was careful to speak respectfully of Clinton. I made sure to let him know I respected his choice.  His response? Was to tell me I had my facts wrong and take exception with my calling him racist because he wouldn't vote for Obama.  He then demanded an apology for my playing the "bulls***" card.   &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I heard from most of the other email receipents, who were completely incredulous about this blow up - they didn't see how anyone could have read that into my email.  Obviously I didn't give him an apology, as I hadn't even remotely called him racist. I asked for clarification on what was the "bulls***" card and that is the last I have heard from my good friend of twelve years. Sadly, I'm not anticipating hearing from him again.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While I grieve the split that appears to be occuring, whether I want it to or not, I am also resolved to moving forward.  We can never know what is truly in the hearts of others and if something as cataclysmic as this election reveals to us ugly truths that we didn't realize were there under the surface than I think the best course of action is to cowboy up and deal directly with those revelations.  When this election is over and the emotions have died down I might touch base with my old friend if only to confirm for myself that under that loving exterior was someone who was either unwilling or incapable of seeing me as a fully developed human being and was unwilling to work on his own prejudices and narrow-mindeness. It will be painful to revisit  but necessary to honor the 12 years of friendship.  In the end, if this election is what ends the friendship then I can say with some conviction, it wasn't a friendship that was designed to nourish and nuture either one of us in the long run. I deserve to surround myself with people who can disagree without dismissing, deflecting or denying alternative opinions. I deserve that, we all deserve that.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bottom line, healthy friendships should be strong enough to endure political battles.  If friendships are breaking up over this election battle than it speaks to disagreements of a much more fundamental nature. Like my friend and I, I wonder just how many of these friends had ever sat down and really had long honest discussions about race, gender, religion, sexual orientation and national origin before this election.  I realize now that my friend and I never did and maybe we should have.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 16 Mar 2008 17:35:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Transcript Of Obama Speech: A More Perfect Union (Now With Video) - Update 2</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/transcript_of_obama_speech_a_more_perfect_union_now_with_video_update_2/#comment-1958029</link><description>Anon @ 11:42 - If you want absolution from sin, first you must STOP sinning. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And therein lies the great racial divide (gender divide, sexual orientation divide, whatever divide have you):  because the past really isn't past and it's difficult to find forgiveness in your heart for anyone when you are still being beaten down by injustices large and small on a nearly daily basis.  History has allowed this Country to build whole systems that perpetuate the status quo and the status quo has never favored, let alone been fair to the minority populations in this Country.  All we've ever asked for is equality - fairness.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is not unreasonable to object to the idea that a vote for Senator Obama will end the problem of racial injustice. After all, voting for Senator Obama does NOT end racial injustice and no one I know is really naive enough to believe that anyway.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Instead I believe this tenative line of thought has been distorted by the MSM and some right wing bloggers as a way of belittling the many white people who sincerely believe in Senator Obama's message of hope and change.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A small group of the many Sen. Obama supporters I have spoken to believe a vote for Senator Obama could be a tentative start to addressing racial injustice - a leap of faith, a demonstration of their willingness to start the discussion and see it through, if you will. But they believe this in ADDITION to prefering his positive message, his platforms on healthcare, open government and the war and so forth.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You see the difference between the two?  I would add my objection to the thought that a vote for Sen. Obama wipes the slate clean. That's just a weak a** attempt to shut the door on the issue, sweep it under the rug and continue on, business as ususal without ever addressing or redressing racial injustice.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Phrase it the second way and my attitude changes.  Is voting for Sen. Obama a way of STARTING to bridge the abyss?  I am willing to particpate in that social experiment.  I certainly would have more faith that this Country is capable of one day redressing racial injustice when I see that that majority of its inhabitants are capable of coming together and electing a black (bi-racial) man as POTUS.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I read some comments in another blog that really resonated with me that I would like to share.  It went something like this:&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1st commentator: "its long past time America had a discussion about race"&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2nd commentator: "we are already having a discussion - and it ain't going well."&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would implore you to go back and read Senator Obama's speech and keep reading it until you really understand it.  It's the first glimmer of hope I have seen that this discussion about race might become more positive.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:39:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top 10 Myths Keeping Hillary In The Race</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/top_10_myths_keeping_hillary_in_the_race/#comment-1959193</link><description>Love it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Did you see this one?

She apparently was extremely well written and researched and an inspiration to a number of women of color bloggers. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Last week she took down her site, permantly, in the wake of what is apparently an appropriation of her work by Amanada Marcotte.  (I use hedging language here because I came late to the party and didn't see Marcotte's article and haven't read bfp's work). Marcotte is a feminist writer.  She apparently somewhat out of the blue recently did an article discussing how immigration is a feminist issue, something BFP has been fighting to get the white feminist establishment to acknowledge or pay attention to, for years. &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Many who regularly read BFP and Marcotte said the points were so similar they expected some level of attribution at the end of the article but Marcotte did not attribute to BFP.  They also note that Marcotte herself has been reading BFP for a couple of years and most recently attended a lecture by BFP on this issue, at a Women's confernce they both attended.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can read more about this and find relevant links at&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://mindthegapuk.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/its-a-jungle-out-there/&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;and at Feministe: &lt;a href="http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2008/04/10/this-has-not-been-a-good-week-for-woman-of-color-blogging/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2008/04/1...&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;and &lt;a href="http://highonrebellion.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/intellectual-theft-is-still-theft/%3C/br%3E%3Cbr%3E%3C/br%3E%3Cbr%3EIt" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://highonrebellion.wordpress.com/2008/04/09...&lt;/a&gt; seems BFP didn't want to make this about her and Marcotte but did want to call attention to the larger issue of white feminists appropriating the works of women of color and how by so doing they change the nature of the issue and create schizms not just between themselves and WoC but schizms within the PoC communities.  They "invisiblize" WoC, their work and their investment and inter-relatedness to the problems within their community that they write about.  And apprently create more problems.  Needless to say this criticism has been met with massive resistence, entitlement and dismissiveness by Ms Marcotte and her allies.  SOSO - sigh.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:11:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Ok, Obama Did His Press Conference.

Obama without a church?  Rev. Wright has retired from Trinity.  I heard Sen. Obama renounce Wright, I didn't hear him say he was leaving Trinity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I feel ya' Jack it looks like the double standard coming into play yet again.  Actually it doesn't just look like it, it is, but it's also deeper than that.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;IMHO, the closer Sen. Obama gets to becoming the Democratic nominee the more fired up the right and a part of the democractic base is to bring him down.  The magic negro is just a little tooo magic for some folks.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My theory on this dumb ass Faux News manufactured controversy from right-wing professional nut-job Hannity goes like this:  Hannity finds the Trinity tapes and carefully pores through them realizing that his demographic will be shocked and titallated by the preaching style.  Then discovers with some editing he can get a bigger bang for his buck on the "chickens coming home to roost" and the "G-D America".  Thus is born his carefully edited, out-of-context Wright's greatest hits clip.  He takes it on air last year and tries to get some traction going.  At first, and for most of last year,it was ignored by the larger MSM media -so how come this got all this traction now?  And why won't it, for the love of God, die?&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This controversy won't die because the MSM is as much a part of corporate America as lobbyist are and corporate America does not want this negro anywhere near the White House.  You all saw the shameful performances of ABC Clinton shills at the debates and wasn't it here that I was seeing CNN refered to as the Clinton News Network? Sen. Obama is running on a platform of taking their ball away.  Of course they are going to throw as much dirt and ish up on him as they can.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enter Hannity's Rev. Wright tapes -it may not be as good a scandal as the proverbial "dead hooker or live boy" but at this stage in the game it will have to do.  &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They are trying to hamstring him before it goes to convention.  If they can do it now, during the season of primaries and caucus, they can use the "will of the voters" as cover.  If they don't stop him now, they will have to do it at convention out in the open in front of everybody - and of course we've all vowed to watch  that convention carefully.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This Wright controversy is not dying, it won't go away unless they can come up with something bigger and better.  Some will ride this dead horse all the way to the convention, others will be riding it all the way to the damn election in November.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For sweet mercy's sake - someone call the ASPCA already.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:45:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Ok, Obama Did His Press Conference.

If State Rep Fritchey looses and from what I understand he has the vast majority of organizational support-- doesn't that imply that none of the ward orgs were successful in dragging out their pluses?

The only-female-in-the-race, vote splitting, etc. only work effectively when people are not familiar with the candidates.  I believe that the vast majority of people who voted in this election specifically cared about **this** race OR did enough research to make an educated choice.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;==Quigley running against Todd Stroger seemed like a goofy message to get votes to go to Congress. Do voters hate Stroger so much they wanted to send a message? Do voters think Congress and the federal government are the same kind of rip-off as the county board and county govâ€™t?==&lt;br&gt;I don't think it is about running against Stroger, however, it is about proving you have taken principled &amp;amp; consistent stands. If you believe past behavior is a good predictor for the future, then Quigley standing up against Stroger is very relevant.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;==Does a Quiqley victory mean newspaper endorsements are more relevant?==&lt;br&gt;In this race I think they were extremely important.  With a compressed cycle &amp;amp; not a ton of mainstream press, I think it provided some good research to push voters over the edge. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;==Are ward organizations waning in influence? Why?==&lt;br&gt;I think ward organizations influence is inversely proportional to: &lt;br&gt;- The number of voters who were raised in the suburbs, but now live in the city. &lt;br&gt;  They are very simply not used to being pushed to vote a certain way -- they think it is offensive. &lt;br&gt;- Higher Education.  This is a very simple generalization, however, if you look at the neighborhoods were the machine was not successful they are nicely matched with 'hot' or gentrifying areas, i.e. 'newcomers' buying 500K houses. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just my opinion</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 04 Mar 2009 11:40:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The white hats and the black hats?</title><link>http://capitolfaxcom.disqus.com/the_white_hats_and_the_black_hats/#comment-18222590</link><description>"[Campaign contribution] limits will make it harder to buy influence and easier to mount challenges against well-financed incumbents."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't think the caps are a bad idea when used to limit influence.  However, I agree with Rich that they can (and are) easily be circumvented.  The concept that it will be easier for challengers to mount an effective campaign against an incumbent if we limit contributions is patently false and an old wives tale that losers tell to justify their poor showing at the polls.  The vast majority of challengers (in my very limited experience) don't understand the project they are undertaking when running for office.  They decide to run right before they start gathering petitions.  They don't understand that they have skipped the strategic and planning phase of the campaign and jumped straight to execution. &lt;br&gt;The process is self-selecting.  Serious candidates who understand what it takes, run when the odds of them winning are increased -- i.e. scandal or open seat.  Imposing a fund raising cap, can't help a candidate who doesn't understand the problem they are trying to solve.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ac</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:38:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The white hats and the black hats?</title><link>http://capitolfaxcom.disqus.com/the_white_hats_and_the_black_hats/#comment-18222592</link><description>"Of course, the whole contested campaign issue is largely a result of repressive ballot access laws, no?" &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I hope you are joking.
