in Update: Michelle Obama As Racial Rorshach Test on Jack and Jill Politics
LOL. Seriously, though, I don't think many white people think about black people at all because blacks aren't a factor in their daily lives past the people at work and the cashier at Micky D's or DMV. So it never occurs to them black people have their own lives and churches and community, and when they learn about it, it must be AUTOMATICALLY WRONG AND RACIST.
That New Yorker cover is actually what many white people believe will happen. I truly believe many people think if the Obamas get up in the White House, Snoop, Lil Wayne and 50 Cents will be hanging out playing dominoes on the portico, Marine One will be up on blocks, the Oval Office will be redecorated in red, black and green, the Secret Service will be replaced with Public Enemy's SW1s and when Barack gives the State of the Union instead of that warning music they always play on NBC, it will be replaced with a hip hop beat. Behind him, instead of Olan Mills type family portraits, there will be photos of the Obamas with airbrushed dollar bills and champagne glasses in the background.
Michelle will walk around the White House with pink and green Goody rollers in her hair while Sasha and Malia play doubledutch in the hallway. The wooden forks and spoons from the 70s will be hung up on the wall, plastic covering all the furniture, which is all black lacquer by the way. The Rose Garden grass will be left uncut.
At the state dinners, instead of filet mignon with fresh asparagus, Michelle will serve chitlings, fried chicken, collard greens and watermelon, and guests will wash it down with a fresh cup of red Kool Aid. Afterwards instead of doing the waltz, they will all do the Electric Slide.
I do believe this is what people really think will happen if Obama is elected President. And if they do go to the White House, watch for people to start referring to the White House as "public housing."

in Update: Michelle Obama As Racial Rorshach Test on Jack and Jill Politics
America doesn't like uppity black women. Michelle Obama isn't snapping her fingers or saying "You Go Gurl!" or "Chile" or cackling. She's not skinning or grinning. She's not shucking or jiving or doing the ManTan Minstrel Show dance. America likes their black women to be smiling Mammies or booty shaking sirens.
Michelle is neither so Michelle gots to go. I really think that certain people feel that if you as a black woman don't think they're the cats' meow, you must hate white people. You gots to go.
You not skinning or grinning? You gots to go.
I think many black women understand what Michelle is going thru because she's going thru the same bullshit we've had to go through on our jobs and daily lives, just amplified.
But don't get it twisted. If Barack had married "Beyonce," Beyonce Obama wouldn't be any more acceptable to certain people than Michelle. Instead of the ungrateful angry black racist bitch meme they're using, they'd just use the dumb, frivolous, sassy bimbo arm candy meme. America would rather have a drugged up homewrecking embezzling thief as First Lady than a well spoken, educated, black lady any day.

^^^ OMG!!!! I hate you Town (not really, LMAO). But'em yea, Olga lost me at her 2nd paragraph, but especially when she said..."I shouldnt be treated like a second class citizen.."
Do you even know what it means to be considered a second-class citizen? It grinds my gears a little when folks use words completely out of context. Have you heard of Jim Crow? Black codes? Poll taxes? Or the apartheid in S. Africa?
You’re beginning to sound just like the lady in the YouTube clip, woe is me, I live in Manhattan and I’m white woman, I’m entitled, you should be shinning my shoes, not running my country. GTFOH!

They need to sit down and fan themselves. They watched while Billary threw this brotha on the ground, stomped him, kicked him, shanked him, ran over him with their car, put out their cigarettes in his eye...they sat back with their black gums cackling and grinning on cable TV, cheering Hillary on, shrugging their shoulders and buck dancing for the Clintons...and now that the voters are about to Bizzounce their asses out of office....NOW they want Obama to swoop in and save the day?
After Hillary asks the 18 million hard working white Americans for a dollar apiece to retire her debt, then she can ask the hard working white Americans to save the CBC's collective asses...

And no, I'm not going to cry about FISA when we're being spied on 24-7 as it is every minute of every day. But we want to burn Obama to the stake because he voted to let AT&T lean in on the hot phone line and listen in? You mean if I take or deposit $10K +/- out of my own bank account, and it's MY money, I have to be reported to the government? Or if I wrote a weird story in high school, they have to report that to my new college "just in case" I turn out to be the next Seung Hui Cho? Don't get mad at one aspect of spying when the other 99 aspects of your life are being spied on too. The gub'ment is probably all up and thru this website right now trying to figure out who is who, comparing IP addresses and tracking keystrokes. Ugh.

99 Percent Sure
Right on, Town. The gubmint, with ATT's willing assistance, has been tapping into American's lives extensively at least since the 60s. I've been hearing clicks on my phone for years and Dr. King, Malcolm X, Angela Davis, and many other Americans, white and black, have been illegalyl wiretapped by the feds..
Anyway, white folk are getting all riled up with Obama's FISA vote and still don't get that it really isn't FISA but the Patriot Act and the criminal in the WH that have placed the 4th amendment in jeopardy, if it really is in jeopardy.

I always enjoy watching Michelle Bernard. She can disagree without being disagreeable, and she brings calm and insightful discussion to the table. I like her and her weave is pretty tight. Michelle need to tell that girl Tanya where to get her weave tightened up. lol
I wouldn't trust 90% of the Democratic party. I'd only trust those Dems who were down with Obama before Iowa. The white liberals want Obama to be their dancing monkey. The whole screaming and moaning about FISA isn't about FISA, it's about he didn't dance to their tune, and now they have an attitude of "we made you so we'll break you." I don't see that treatment being given to anyone else.
The Old Guard and Race, Inc. doesn't want Obama to win because an Obama win renders them as about current as a Beta Max, Walkman or Laser Disc.
The "liberal" media doesn't want him to win, they just want a story and ratings. I hold the "liberal media" 99% responsible for whipping up the race stuff, just so they can get some ratings. Everyone was crying over Tim Russert but he was one of the main ones grilling Obama about Farrakhan, a man he doesn't associate with and EVERYONE KNOWS he doesn't associate with him. Only thing they have in common is they both live in Chicago. Why didn't Tim Russert grill Hillary on David Duke? Or John McCain?
I 100% believe the ONLY reason Obama is getting this level of disrespect on all levels from all sides is because he's black. If Obama were white, but was the 2nd coming of Mondale and Dukakis, and was 90% down in the polls, he'd still be getting more respect than he is now.
And I"m getting way tired of all the violent fantasies displayed towards him, which wouldn't (IMO) be on display if he were white. Kiss his ass. Rip his nuts off. Give him Hillary's extra ball. Assassination. Lynch Michelle. None of this would be uttered if the candidate was white. Jesse would not casually lean in on the hot mic and talk about ripping nuts off if Obama was white. Where was all the nut ripping rage when Bill & Hillary were race baiting? And lets not forget all the rage shown towards brown Bill Richardson for his defection towards Obama, but nary a peep towards white Robert Reich.

I think that it's ok to criticize Barack Obama.
But it's NOT okay to talk about cutting somebody's nuts off, or talking about somebody in a crude fashion like that.
And I can't help but wonder, would Jesse Jackson have used such crude language to or about a white candidate who's ideology he disagreed with?
The MSM playing this up is another part of the "Barack has no nutz" meme.

Apparently, NO, Jesse didn't learn from "Hymietown".
It's time for him to make a graceful exit from the stage - he has run out and he doesn't have MLK's coattails to ride on anymore.

Well, if he has no nutz, then there's nothing for Jesse to cut off....therefore Jesse's comment is moot. LOL

NEWS STATIONS CLAIM OBAMA'S DECISION TO SPEAK AT INVESCO FIELD WILL COST THEM MORE MONEY THAN THEY WANT TO SPEND.
Funny, if Rev. Wright were to speak at Invesco Field to "tell all" about Barack Obama or if the Michelle Whitey tape was actually real and to be premiered at Invesco Field, they'd happily and cheerfully find the money in the budget to cover that. But a non news event like Obama, the first person of color in the history of the US, accepting the presidential nomination of a major political party? That's a "non news story."

in The GOP’s New Theme: Those Uppity Obamas on Jack and Jill Politics
Karl Rove using "beautiful date" isn't meant to conjure up an image of a black woman. Remember, people are running around saying Michelle is too masculine looking (huh) or has a lantern jaw or just plain ugly. Rove saying "beautiful date at the country club" is meant to conjure up images of Buffy and Muffy with their blonde hair. In other words, a Cindy McCain type. Black women at the country club would be the servers and the cooks.

Except I am a black woman that belongs to a yacht club as do other black women I know and have been to plenty of country club parties. So I don't see how it should be automatically assumed that his date is blonde. Maybe it is your perception that Black women at the country club would be servers and cooks which is ummm sad.
That is not to say I in any way defend what Rove said. He is an idiot.

The problem I have with Miss Rene Marie is she claims her song wasn't political or a sign of protest, it was just a pretty song she wanted to sing.
Which is bullshit. Don't do something like that then try to back track.
Personally I think it was a publicity stunt. How many people had heard of Rene Marie before this (I had, but she's not exactly in the mainstream)?
