‘As the man said in “The Blues Brothers”, I hate Illinois Nazis. (Hillary) I also hate Illinois commies. (Barack)’

I heard Michael Savage the other night basically say the same thing re: the two Democratic contenders, “we have a choice between Hitler and Stalin.”

As the man said in “The Blues Brothers”, I hate Illinois Nazis. (Hillary) I also hate Illinois commies. (Barack)

I’m gonna have to vote for the Naval Angriator: Embrace the Suck: McCain in 2008!

And vote for Congresscritters who will hold his feet to the fire and make sure the only bills which show up on his desk are good ones.

Heh. The white flight thing has certainly derailed the city for a long time, but there are some neighborhoods making a comeback thanks to intrepid volunteers like me who A) can’t afford a McMansion in the ‘burbs and B) don’t mind taking on the challenge of living in the city as it were.

The upshot of the real estate debacle everywhere else is that houses in my area are worth more, not less.

People who think white people are the master race have spent very little time in South Baltimore.

Hey Hon, you making fun of Pigtown?
Seriously, all the white people in Baltimore(at least the ones with any sense), leave at 5 PM on the Meto.

That’s because he was too busy promulgating a book that tells you that it’s okay to beat your slave as long as you don’t kill him, that your menstruating women must be banished from the city and not readmitted until a couple of doves are sacrificed, that you should execute anyone who works on the sabbath, and that offering up your virgin daughter to be raped by a horny mob in order to prevent a guy you don’t even know from being sodomized makes you a hero.

Despite similar Invisible influences, the Christian Guy-In-The-Sky doesn’t promulgate a green book in which a Seven-Pillard Path describes the specific beheading-treatment of certain slaves, the use of coitus-interrupts to impregnify and/or demean female slaves, or the proper stoning of adultresses (not adulterers). Funny how there are differenced beyond invisibility.

It’s dangerous to constantly think of racism as a white on black issue.

Being a white dude in a predominantly black neighborhood in a predominantly black city certainly gives you some perspective on the issue. It just reinforces how thoroughly race issues still penetrate almost everything, no matter how much educated people try to fool themselves into thinking otherwise.

When I walk down Washington Blvd at night with my dogs watching young black men selling drugs and making pistols with their hands and pointing them at me, I can assure you this white dude is acutely aware of the role race plays.

BTW, he is so light skinned that I wasn’t certain that he really was black until I read a story about him during the Katrina aftermath that described his family background as being mixed. Not that it matters.

That said, I have to say it’s pretty freakin’ cool that we’re at a point where we have minority candidates outside of the fringe.

I just wish it could be Condoleeza Rice…

Having grown up in Northern Virginia, in an area that was very evenly mixed racially, both were a bit shocking to me.
