A Quick Post Before Work

Today on GMA


A black man

A white woman


questioned

by a white man

on what race is America will be like

after Barack Obama

after he said

what Patricia Hill Collins said in the 80's

what Audre Lourde said in the 70's

and what Ida B Wells said in the 60's

I mean 1860's

and only part of what Andrea Smith can't keep her job for saying in 2008



and one of the first things I heard was where is HILLARY''s commentary


Geraldine Ferarro is right

He is only there because he is the BLACK candidate

No one noticed that only Obama

HAD

to give

a commentary to save a campaign

where he is in the lead

because that is what is American

Maybe my black ass is justcranky but i notice that most of teh "Race" talk was directed atblack women and yet no one gives an ish whatwe think. And everyone is like but why come hillary


and if i hear ( and yes MULTIPLE times i have hear d this shite)

We CHOOSE

to live intersectionaly or not just with race or gender form somebody for whom intersectionality is or can be a second thought

I will go out in a balze of fire but im going to break my resolutions my composure and my CALM

oh

but there is shit all fish y about how

Obama in his speech forgave G ferraro even though her wack ass didn't apologize

You'll have to excuse me because I don't know much about this, and I post as an outsider about your country. But when I watch Barack Obama taking on race with an honourable (to a fault) evenhanded assesment of where you stand, and then I read the pundits, and I wonder why they don't want to move forward on the issues that divide you, and if they really do not want to have a president worthy of the best of the American enterprise, or if indeed they truly prefer a president worthy of no more dignified office than schoolyard bully.

Hi there

I found this US news item you might be interested in. It seems like an attack against a group called Black United Students - have you heard of them? Hoping you can make sense of it

Hi

I found this news piece on Newsvine - I am a bit confused about BUS etc and because it is in the US I thought I would forward it to you in the hope that you could make some sense of it - I have also sent it to Black Amazon.
