Yikes! I know this kind of woman - the one who thinks that all men deserve to be castrated while, at the same time, complaining that none of the men she meets has any backbone.

So to speak.

Let's see . . . you can interpret the Bible literally and jump and holler like hillbilly snake-handlers at your church services and not be made fun of by liberals . . .

You can speak ultra-Southern substandard dialects of English and not be made fun of by liberals . . .

You can claim to be the "culture-creating 'aryans' who invented zifilization" and be a goose-stepping, (racial) flag-waving, nationalistic super-(racial)patriot and not be considered a right winger (by liberals) . . .

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, actually. How do I get in on it?

Does anyone think there is any other place where being black is more fun?

Zimbabwe! It's tons of fun to be Black in Zimbabwe. The folks just spent the past generation making Zimbabwe as Black as they could. What fun.

Nah. Turns out Mugabe is an "uncle tom" who isn't "down" with his homosexual brothers and sisters. "Real" Blacks are pro-gay, pro-abortion, and have the "theological" works of Rudolph Bultmann memorized by the time they're twelve.

so how come those Haitian boat people have joined in and started businesses and joined our money system? They’re black. How come they come over here with job skills? Isn’t Haiti the poorest country in the west?

You don’t hear a lot about how “the man” is keeping them down. I wonder why...........

From Keith Richburg's article "American in Africa" (Part 1 and Part 2, with an even more expanded treatment in his book Out of America : A Black Man Confronts Africa):

Somewhere, sometime, maybe 400 years ago, an ancestor of mine whose name I'll never know was shackled in leg irons, kept in a dark pit, possibly at Goree Island off the coast of Senegal, and then put with thousands of other Africans into the crowded, filthy cargo hold of a ship for the long and treacherous journey across the Atlantic. Many of them died along the way, of disease, of hunger. But my ancestor survived, maybe because he was strong, maybe stubborn enough to want to live, or maybe just lucky. He was ripped away from his country and his family, forced into slavery somewhere in the Caribbean. Then one of his descendants somehow made it up to South Carolina, and one of those descendants, my father, made it to Detroit during the Second World War, and there I was born, 36 years ago. And if that original ancestor hadn't been forced to make that horrific voyage, I would not have been standing there that day on the Rusumo Falls bridge, a journalist -- a mere spectator -- watching the bodies glide past me like river logs. No, I might have instead been one of them -- or have met some similarly anonymous fate in any one of the countless ongoing civil wars or tribal clashes on this brutal continent. And so I thank God my ancestor made that voyage.

Yes, there are disadvantages to being black and, yes, racism still exists in the United States but the truth is that it's not really better anyplace else and African Americans would do even better if they embraced their country instead of fighting it because that's exactly what Caribbean and African immigrants are doing, skipping right over African Americans in the process.

“Didja see the vid of Gates in the Vineyard? He was riding a tricycle!”

oh, but that wasn’t any ordinary tricycle. Gates had it custom made in Germany (while generally ‘name dropping’ about his personal prosperity acquired in this racist nation)

Liberal hash. Jealousy that others have worked hard for what they have. Jealous that others have a real college degree not in some kind of “studies” for having taken too many electives in college. Jealous that others are happy with their lives. Jealousy of women who have a happy family, are able to work and care for their kids, and have a loving husband who knows who his ‘soul-mate’ really is. Jealousy of the white men who resemble the Founding Fathers in tenor and title and who donate money and time for charitable causes.

Liberals have to complain. They got their president. Yet they still complain.

They complain about poor people but they don’t volunteer to help them unless they get some kind of press or award for doing it. They don’t donate much to various causes. They spend hours memorizing Saul Alinsky’s Rules but can’t quote the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence or the Pledge of Allegiance.

Liberals live in a world of fear. They’re afraid of guns, afraid of Pit Bulls, afraid of being alone. They’re constantly angry and have sour faces.

That’s all.

Listening to O’Reilly and SoPovLawCtr guy talk about Lou Dobbs. What jerks these attorneys are. They think they’re gods and must be obeyed because??? Wonder how much 0bama ‘donated’ to SoPovLawCtr for their input about the Birthers?

Hehehehehehehe. It isn’t going away, 0bama, not now, not until you show us the long form and your college transcripts.
