Can I kiss your ass?

Queen Latifah? What did she say/do? I remember Sister Souljah putting her foot into her mouth, but I don't remember Queen Latifah doing anything stupid.
We can agree to disagree.
but you'd never know that if the only people you listen to are the people who's entire focus on Linda Tripp was how "ugly" she is.
We can also disagree about whether lowering ourselves to their level is a good idea.
True enough, but I can positively guarantee you "they" will NEVER fight by Marquis de Queensbury rules while they are assured you ALWAYS will.
I believe that all people have the same basic needs and values and to put one race ahead of another, or behind another is destructive, equally so. Here is one quote I found:
During interviews Sunday for her forthcoming film “Beauty Shop,” which stars African actor Djimon Hounsou as her boo, Latifah gave us her take on the issue.
“My take is America’s racist,” she says with authority. “That’s pure racism, and capitalism. It’s like, ‘How can we make the most money? Okay, well, we’re gonna pair you up with this person so you can bring that audience, and you can bring this audience’, but, it’s a shame. I hate the idea that you can’t have a black couple - which you can, it’s just the question of how much money you want to make and how bankable you think it is.”
She said some more outrageous things earlier (which I have forgotten) but as soon as she started making big money as a "Star" she has kept quiet.
Just like a whore, her values depend on the money.
Do you think most people are that stupid?
I could be very wrong, but I think that whole line of argument only appeals to a small number of people on either side of the issue, and I doubt it impresses or convinces too many people in the middle.
It just reminds me too much of playground name-calling.
Don't forget how they all but crucified Kathleen Harris because of her make-up.
:-D
(Regarding the 'Dem 800 lb gorilla' reference: Please, post no Michael Moore or Helen Thomas photos. Thanks.)
Here here! I do not recall the widows of Pearl Harbor parading on CBS news demanding that they determine what our policy toward Japan ought to be.
Yes. Childish & superficial, wasn't it?
I believe you are missing the point. You are quite correct about the playground name-calling. That is the training ground for what is known as "female alternative aggression."
They aren't trying to convince anyone; they are trying to injure the psyche of their target. At the same time, they are inviting the other "girls" to boost their self esteem by joining in the abuse of the "unpopular girl."
And you know what: it works. Linda Tripp actually apologized to America "for being so ugly."
It's real. It's destructive. And we have almost NO social conventions governing such behavior because it is practiced almost exclusively by women and girls in secret for the express purpose of inflicting injury on each other while preserving plausible deniability. That's why and how the liberals use it to such devastating effect. Most men, haven't got a clue what it is, and most women mature out of it, but they remember enough to get away when the "feeding frenzy" begins.
The brilliance of Ann is when someone starts a viscious rumor about conservatism, if you'll follow the schoolyard metaphor, she unceremoniously walks up and punches them in the nose, because she knows EXACTLY what is being attempted.
Are you sure you're not thinking of Sister Souljah? She said something racial and got condemned by Bill Clinton.
I heard Matthews saying that! This from the man who broadcast from under his desk for three days after 9/11.
Er...Waco?
Is this a great country or what?
Mike, you should be so lucky.
