"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
That is very disturbing, but it's the man I see every day.
Funny...I've known many "well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
But, to them, it wasn't a tactic.
Haven’t seen you in a while, either! I was wondering just the other day how come I hadn’t seen you around.
I was immensely enjoying the exposure of Obama via Wright & I think he might not be able to win the Presidency now. On the other hand, never underestimate weak white people’s eagerness to wash away their sins by electing a black president.
I haven’t commented much on him lately, especially on threads where they were discussing if Obama was part-Arab or something. I shudder to think that I am remotely related to this ibn homar.
Thank you devolve. I just saw your post as my pager doesn’t stay on lately. I made that a few days ago.
Bump Phil.
Oh...Phil...that is EXCELLENT!
I saw this today, and thought of Obama.
Good comments DC, just proves we never know what goes on behind a person’s facade, what goes on in a family, etc.
Secrets kept hidden.
I know I owe you a letter, lol. Falling behind.
Your VERY BEST work there, Carol!
SUPER DUPER!!!!
On a scale of 1 to 10, that’s an ELEVEN !!
Well, he managed to keep quite a few secrets, as did the Beast.
I can’t believe we are just now hearing that she was fired from the Watergate committee!
Take your time with the letter.
I’ve been out of town, and am now sick, anyway.
I’m not going anywhere. ;o)
Thank you very much Meek!! Appreciate that. Also hope you saw my Hillary-Huma and the red phone one, lol.
[hearing that she was fired from the Watergate committee]
Wasn’t that something? She was 27yrs old and already crooked. Maybe she was born that way! Lol
Too much Hawaiiiiitis, huh? Get well.
She was born crooked, and has had hoards of press covering for her.
I just don’t “get” Hillary and Michelle.
LOL!
I wish it was TOO much Hawaiiitis!
Apparently, it’s too much Oregonitis.
Lotsa nasty stuff going around this year.
I’m off...need my beauty sleep...BADLY! lol
Nitey nite.
Night DC, I need to shut down too.
Same here. I had a black boyfriend and spent a lot of time in large groups of only blacks (and I am whiter than white). I had some serious hard times in not being accepted because of my skin color. Never got any weird permanent issues from it like Obama, though. Maybe he did because he didn’t want to be black OR white. And was stuck being both.
Interesting posts in #26 and #31
Sounds like H&C are getting played....who woulda thunk it?
Any day I can make you smile is a good one, Girlene ;~)
