a-holes anyway. The "problem" is not Wright's "rhetoric," it is Obama's "uppitiness," the threat to the supremacy of the white anglo-saxon descendants of the original genocidal war-mongers who first stole this land from indigenous people and then built the economy on the backs of black slaves and Asian and Hispanic indentured servants and serfs. Everybody knows that blacks are not going to rise up and start killing whitey, but they can't stand the thought that blacks might actually achieve equality, even to the point of being assertive about it. They can't take the idea that a black person could actually ascend to the role of supreme "boss" of the country.

I took a brief look in the Hillary Supporters Group. It's like a fucking Klan convention over there. Everybody is soooo outraged that Obama "threw his grandmother under the bus" (read: threw whitey "under the bus"). There is much indignation and gnashing of teeth that Obama actually identifies as a black man when he could "choose" to identify with whitey.

Back in 1984, when Ferraro was the VP nominee, everybody said we're "not ready" for a woman in power, and I've heard my whole life (all 62 years) that "we're not ready" for black people to be much of anybody. After reading the racist bullshit that's been coming down and seeing the overriding focus on the candidate's race (which I'd been under the delusion the country could avoid), and the THREAT that that is to supposed "Democrats," I am just fucking disgusted. I say, if Clinton ends up as the nominee because the whole fucking country is still so unevolved, ignorant, and stupid that it can think only in petty terms of race and how fucking threatened they are by an assertive prideful black person in a position of power, well, we'll probably end up with a President McCain because the ignoramuses are also threatened by a woman in a position of power and will come out of the woodwork to vote AGAINST THIS particular woman, and Democrats don't like her that much either because she's just more of the same old war-mongering corporate kiss-ass crap. Might as well have a real repuke as a fake one. Let the country go totally to hell--it's what it deserves.
