I got called out by a black couple at a family party for saying that a movie had a "dark" conclusion. These are Christian people, who should be familiar with the concept of "being in the light."
But no.
…I am loathe to bring up what is in our head because we don’t like to talk about it so much. But on this particular day, on Martin Luther King Day, I think this needs to be said. That imaginary person that’s going to break into your home and kill you, who does that person look like? You know, it’s not freckle-faced Jimmy down the street, is it really? I mean, that’s not what really, that’s not what really people, we never really want to talk about the racial or the class part of this, in terms of how it’s the poor or it’s people of color that we imagine that we’re afraid of. Why are we afraid? What is that, and it’s been a fear that has existed for a very, very long time.
Freudian slip there, Michael? Are you really projecting your true feelings in your accusations towards the rest of White America?
I feel funny if I say something is “spooky” as though someone will come down on me like a ton of bricks. I happen to work in an almost empty building and said it was spooky to someone and immediately popped into my head that “spooky” could be misconstrued.
Don’t forget the tool who claimed the word “picnic” to be racist because, he claimed, it originated in “pick a nigger” to lynch.
Should be reduced only 3/5.
Didn’t the water buffaloes on The View muse about whether “Black Friday” was racist? Not that they could be expected to know the difference between being ‘in the red’ or ‘in the black’.....

At some point we have to start calling writers that keep writing this myth as out and out liars.
The black vote switched to overwhelmingly and permanently democrat in 1936, there is no "almost" and there is no "50 years" and there is no "Kennedy" as is usually mentioned, or in this case, implied.
And yet, not a WORD or a peep from Al Sharpless or that bastard Jessie Jackass about Rap CRAP music full of references to “Nigger” this or “Nigger “ that...
Friggin damned hypocrites.
I work in a racially diverse environment, and that kind of nonsense isn’t indulged in. However, I once told a joke to a mixed assemblage involving “galley slaves.” I got not so much as a chuckle from the black folks in the group—evidently they associate all slavery with black slavery. I didn’t bother correcting them.
“your race card has been declined”
They left out the smearing of the Tea Party on March 20,2010 by the Congressional Black Caucus, who claimed “Kill the Bill” was the N-word.
My grandpa’s bowling team was named the “spooks”. The team shirt had the team name and a big black bowling ball on the back with white eyeballs and teeth.
