Isn't it nasty? The b*tched becaause Bush went to his ranch. He owned it, paid for with his own money. He didn't rent extravagant homes, take the entire tribe all the way back to 5th cousins, and expect us to use our tax dollars to pay for it. The obama’s have no class. They aren't rich, they just think they are because they are on our dime. You can't buy class and they will never have any.

Nantucketers give others lessons in insular arrogance. BTW, the premier Nantucket name is Starbuck.

Very, very old: pupils in a Nantucket school were asked to write an essay about Benito Mussolini. An A+ was awarded to the paper that began, “Mussolini is an off-islander.”

Anyway, elites are elites except here in South Carolina the black aristocracy is usually referred to as the “lightskinned elite”.

Amen! These people are “white trash”, low rent jackasses, which I never knew could be half black.

Lenin stole that line from Satan.

Great observation.

Oh, I never knew that. I have only seen one east coast shore and that was in New Jersey, very clean.
I am from southern California, clean beaches (sands) except for the tar and oil.

Frida Kahlo? Emma Goldman? Angela Davis? Anita Hill? I spit on all of them. If this is the sort of garbage we are meant to emulate, this is disgusting.

Golda Meier, Molly Pitcher, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman I can admire, though I could never aspire to their courage.

Until the government gloms onto it - then say, ‘Good-bye, Charlie.’

“...that was in New Jersey, very clean.”

Well thank you for saying something nice about New Jersey, a compliment to our “shore” from a Californian is very flattering.

Even if you were an incredibly wealthy WASP.

Thats where the laugh really is. I do not think these black elites are genuine Americans. They do not sound much like it.

” By tradition, other ethnic groups do the same, and while the groups mingle socially, they largely live in segregated communities on the island. The black community has always summered near the town of Oak Bluffs, on the Island’s northern coast.”

A few weeks after Barry WeeWeed was inaugurated,
Eric “ I Love Black Panthers with Guns,but, not CIA Agents with Guns “ Holder went to the DOJ and delivered a finger pointing diatribe on race relations.
He called people who work with other races, but,
spend their week ends and down time with their own race “ cowards.”
He should be in Oak Bluffs driving around with a bullhorn calling Professor Gates and Oprah and James Ogletree and Valerie Jarrett “ cowards.”
Unless he’s also there and then it’s ok.

Prettiest beaches I’ve ever seen are the Gulf Coast beaches in the Florida panhandle and Alabama. Beautiful sugar white sand.

Saw a brief clip on TV with the locals welcoming the arrival of the Obamas. Looked like a mostly Black crowd. I was confused, this explains it....I thought they had been bused in for the cameras.

Blacks “made it” a long time ago. The prevalence of self imposed segregation, pretentiousness and elitism are testament.
