In reply to Obama "Agonistes"--shoo-in for the 2011 Fortney

Oreo: An African-American President who won't take a call from the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus on his upcoming jobs speech. (Per said chairman, Emmanual Cleaver, today on Tavis & Smiley)

It's one thing when you won't be seen talking in public...when you won't pick up the phone in the privacy of your office, well...

Is he afraid that the blackness will leap over the wires and attack him through the phone?

Maybe he just doesn't want to be publically known to take calls from explicitly black interest group accountable officials.

What happened to this guy? "“People like myself are learning a certain language of mainstream society, of power and decision making,” he said. “We have an obligation to go back to the Black community, to listen and learn and help give our people a voice.”

That was the 1990 Obama. The 2011 model ain't listening.

Since you mention it, I get a sensation down my leg as well, but it feels warm rather than a chill...

In reply to Why would that label not be

Do you see a pattern there? Does it not strike you as problematic, or at least symptomatic, that your labels are race-based? That a label you apply to a black person isn't semantically appropriate for a white person (or Asian, etc.) and that a label you apply to a white person isn't semantically appropriate for a black person (or Asian, etc.)? Can't we aspire to a glorious future when they're all just assholes? (Using sons of bitches or mother fuckers is just swapping race-based labels for sex-based labels, although a little less strongly connected, in my opinion.)

LOL. There's a classic response to that, but it would get deleted.

There's a 1976 movie starring Glynn Turman called J.D's Revenge. In one scene, Turman's character is a tad upset because he is being possessed by a 1940's gangster, so he talks to a doctor. The doctor tells Turman's character to "Relax and smoke some weed."

I'm done. Have a nice day.

the Mao connection.

We name our children for our heroes. Often they live up to their names (Tupac did, hence, no oreo he.)

For your better comprehension, can you point me to the banker named Robin Hood Schwartz?
