Update: BS from Oliver Willis linking back to me re my "afromercial" comment.
The Mask Slips Sometimes
I figured it would lead to being called a racist. But that's bullshit. It's a comment on the neeeed for so many on the Left, including african-Americans (ugh) to hyphenate everyone. In their book there are no "Americans." They have to break everyone down into some special group. In that sense, the Left is the most "racist" bunch of all, as far as I'm concerned.
Should be Lil' Obambi! I can't believe America may actually elect this guy. But it won't surprise me at this point.
Anyone watch the afro-mercial last night?


Best 30 minutes of TV I've seen in weeks. Funny, I missed McCain's rebuttal. What happened? Big John couldn't pony up the dough?

My friend who is big on his "black identity" says BO doesn't have a black identity cause he is really white. I cringed yesterday when I heard about BO's gaff in mixing up his black sitcom characters as I knew I would find a comment about this in my email. Sure enough, along came the comment: "see, I'm right, the guy is white, he has no black identity, he never watched black sitcoms and never identified with the characters in black sitcoms".
It's funny though:

Never mind, I've been informed by Mary that he isn't really black after all.
I guess he must be an "arab", as the right-wing emails and that crazy old lady at the McCain rally insist. (Maybe he's secretly a Chinese Jew, too!) Speaking of, did anyone notice that McCain didn't correct her on that? He just said Obama's a family man. I guess he could have tried to explain to her that Arabs are the ones who look kinda like light-skinned Mexicans except sorta different, but the wingnuts would have heard too many Bad Words by that point and they'd have started gibbering and flinging feces.

Shorter Mary:
Concern Troll is Conceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeern!
Seriously, is Barack not black enough? Too black? Is he a secret Marxist radical intent on sabotaging America's economic well-being through evil KGB trickery or just an inexperienced rube off the dirty streets of Chicago who only rode into office on white guilt and Bush hatred? Is he too elitist or a big welfare queen? Too smart to have a beer with or too naive to evade Iran's trickery?
The man is an enigma! A riddle! We don't know enough about him! But we do know about his secret plot to team up with Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright to blow up the Sears Tower using his Hamas connections that he developed by sending out his secret father Malcolm X! (yes you read it here: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/10/how-could-stanl.html) Or maybe by distributing the never publicized Michelle Obama "Whitey!" tapes as a form of morass code.
Either way, ACORN is stealing the vote but John McCain is poised to win California! And Barack Obama is doing illegal fund raising, but the Bush Administration DOJ will not investigate because Obama is just too politically powerful! Country First! Country First! Palin '12!

Dan, your problem is that you take the Left and liberals and use them as scapegoats for all of America's problems. There was once a group of people that did the same thing. They were called Nazis and they blamed all their problems on the Jews.
This country has its fair share of problems that have been created by both parties, Liberals and Conservatives. To use the term "afro-mercial" is just being part of the problem. So please step aside as real adults begin to make this country great again.
Posted by: mj | Thursday, October 30, 2008 at 01:12 PM
One of the blogs today noted that last night Obama compared his sharing of toys in kindergarden to the government's sharing the wealth of the well-to-do with others. But the comparison is, of course, false. Teachers encourage students to share. He wants the government to force sharing through the use of the law, the courts and law-enforcement.
That ain't sharing, that is extortion.
n. 1. The act or an instance of extorting.
2. Illegal use of one's official position or powers to obtain property, funds, or patronage.
3. An excessive or exorbitant charge.
4. Something extorted.

What military? He is going to have to eliminate the military in order to pay for all the wonderful things he says he will do for you, and of course his plans for a secret police will also cost a pretty penny. The Commander in Chief will have to send the State Dept to the battlefield with their briefcases.

Sources: Sarkozy views Obama stance on Iran as 'utterly immature'
French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran, according to reports that have reached Israel's government.
Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as "utterly immature" and comprised of "formulations empty of all content."

Actually, given what Barack Obama supports, Riehl is absolutely right.
"Like other leaders of the rites of passage movement, Carruthers teaches that the true birthplace of world civilization was ancient “Kemet” (Egypt), from which Kemetic philosophy supposedly spread to Africa as a whole. Carruthers and his colleagues believe that the values of Kemetic civilization are far superior to the isolating and oppressive, ancient Greek-based values of European and American civilization. Although academic Egyptologists and anthropologists strongly reject these historical claims, Carruthers dismisses critics as part of a white supremacist conspiracy to hide the truth of African superiority.
Carruthers’s key writings are collected in his book, Intellectual Warfare. Reading it is a wild, anti-American ride. In his book, we learn that Carruthers and his like-minded colleagues have formed an organization called the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations (ASCAC), which takes as its mission the need to “dismantle the European intellectual campaign to commit historicide against African peoples.” Carruthers includes “African-Americans” within a group he would define as simply “African.” When forced to describe a black person as “American,” Carruthers uses quotation marks, thus indicating that no black person can be American in any authentic sense. According to Carruthers, “The submission to Western civilization and its most outstanding offspring, American civilization, is, in reality, surrender to white supremacy.”"
Remember, Barack Obama's Annenberg Challenge paid millions of dollars for this to be taught to public school children.

When wingers wake up and find their "movement" / "permanent majority" reduced to a pity party / circle-jerk / therapy session in some irrelevant backward town (Cincinnati?), this blog will prove to be an essential historical record as to why.

"Remember, Barack Obama's Annenberg Challenge paid millions of dollars for this to be taught to public school children."
Actually, numb buts, CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN, Walter Annenberg's program paid zero dollars for this to be taught to public school children. This Carruthers fellow had nothing to do with the Annenberg Challenge. Keep lying about it though.

Posted by: Worst President Ever | Thursday, October 30, 2008 at 03:21 PM
"This Carruthers fellow had nothing to do with the Annenberg Challenge. Keep lying about it though."
Further down in the article I quoted:
"Carruthers admits that Africans living in America have already been shaped by Western culture, yet compares this Americanization process to rape: “We may not be able to get our virginity back after the rape, but we do not have to marry the rapist....” In other words, American blacks (i.e. Africans) may have been forcibly exposed to American culture, but that doesn’t mean they need to accept it. The better option, says Carruthers, is to separate out and relearn the wisdom of Africa’s original Kemetic culture, embodied in the teachings of the ancient wise man, Ptahhotep (an historical figure traditionally identified as the author of a Fifth Dynasty wisdom book). Anything less than re-Africanization threatens the mental, and even physical, genocide of Africans living in an ineradicably white supremacist United States.
Carruthers is a defender of Leonard Jeffries, professor in the department of black studies at City College in Harlem, infamous for his black supremacist and anti-Semitic views. Jeffries sees whites as oppressive and violent “ice people,” in contrast to peaceful and mutually supportive black “sun people.” The divergence says Jeffries, is attributable to differing levels of melanin in the skin. Jeffries also blames Jews for financing the slave trade. Carruthers defends Jeffries and excoriates the prestigious black academics Carruthers views as traitorous for denouncing their African brother, Jeffries. Carruthers’s vision of the superior and peaceful Kemetic philosophy of Ptahhotep triumphing over Greco-Euro-American-white culture obviously parallels Jeffries’ opposition between ice people and sun people.
More of Carruthers’s education philosophy can be found in his newsletter, The Kemetic Voice. In 1997, for example, at the same time Carruthers was advising SSAVC on how to set up an African-centered curriculum, he praised the decision of New Orleans’ School Board to remove the name of George Washington from an elementary school. Apparently, some officials in New Orleans had decided that nobody who held slaves should have a school named after him. Carruthers touted the name-change as proof that his African-centered perspective was finally having an effect on public policy. At the demise of George Washington School, Carruthers crowed: “These events remind us of how vast the gulf is that separates the Defenders of Western Civilization from the Champions of African Civilization.”"
And now the big finale:
"According to Chicago Annenberg Challenge records, Carruthers’s training session on African-centered curricula for SSAVC teachers was a huge hit: “As a consciousness raising session, it received rave reviews, and has prepared the way for the curriculum readiness survey....” These teacher-training workshops were directly funded by the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Another sure sign of the ideological cast of SSAVC’s curriculum can be found in Annenberg documents noting that SSAVC students are taught the wisdom of Ptahhotep. Carruthers’s concerns about “menticide” and “genocide” at the hand of America’s white supremacist system seem to be echoed in an SSAVC document that says: “Our children need to understand the historical context of our struggles for liberation from those forces that seek to destroy us.”"

Another Obama lie. For some reason, Obama lies constantly about what he supported at the Annenberg Challenge. Is it because he knows that only the most in-the-tank of his supporters like Totally Heterosexual Conservative agree with his belief that white people are all oppressive and violent "ice people"?
