are you a ___________ American? Good luck with this question, Barak! My family and I can tell you a couple of things about how to answer the hysteria laden question bombs that are coming fast and furious. . .but you will not like it.
Can you start that conversation about race when everytime the critics speak, someone says "it's a Black thing, you won't/don't/can't/have no business understanding it.
Wright's statements "you don't get the Black church"- so AIDS as a government plot is somehow a Black church thing. . .check
Grandma Whitey- apparently she didn't get it either and she raised and loved Obama. . .but will be remembered for her contribution to his unshakeable belief. . .in the racism that is at the root of everyone white. . .or not? What does this mean? That she had stereotypes on the brain negated the love that she gave him? Why else put her in the spotlight during a race speech- ignore her love and support, and instead, highlight her moments of ignorance. Yep, that makes for the ULTIMATE in conversation starters across racial divides. . .stay with me. . .if Obama's GRANDMOTHER who loved and raised him cannot get any slack for ignorance, what hope do the rest of us have?
Blue collar White America- See above, when yer all don gitting yer guns loaded, and yer done with tha meetn on Sunday, surefire come on over, let the book larnin begin. . .set a spell and see what high faluttin edacation. . .
Bitter, clinging, and otherwise bumpkins who did not graduate from Uppercrust U. . . ready to let the healing begin?
Enough to make me get Social Conflict on you all. . .but wait
The conversation has shifted, and therein lies the question; which is it, America? Are you all Americans of different origins, or are you different origined Americans?
The answer will decide more than you know. . .
sigh- Back to Indiana Jones daydreams. . .
