Great quote

From an op-ed in yesterday's NYT

"It is an injustice, a legacy of the racist threads of this nation’s history, but prominent African-Americans are regularly called upon to explain or repudiate what other black Americans have to say, while white public figures are rarely, if ever, handed that burden."


In case you didn't know, there's a crazy preacher in North Carolina who is a McCain supporter and he regularly makes racist remarks towards Obama. McCain of course has denounced the guy and everyone seems to think that's enough.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright is Obama's former pastor who's been making waves in the past few weeks with his anti-America conspiracy theories. And now Obama is being forced once again to step up to the plate and defend himself and his beliefs. John McCain, however, seems to be in the clear. Obama has said time and again that he and Rev. Wright have many fundamental differences but that doesn't seem to be making the situation better. Obama should NOT have to defend what Rev. Wright said. Anyone with a LICK of common sense should know that a man who's running for President of our country on a fairly conservative liberal platform fucking LOVES AMERICA.

And back to that quote--I relate to a lot because it's really annoying when non black people think that just because I am black I know everything about all black people.

I am so ready for this shit show to be over. A piece of me will die if Hillary gets the nom but always know that no matter who's on the ticket I'll be voting Democrat come November.

(Please God don't let it be Hillary because I think that she is not a good person and the thought of her running our country makes me naush and I really really wish I liked her more because I think a woman president would be AMAZING. But only a woman who is awesome and not one who I think might be a piece of shit dressed in an old lady power suit.)
