Watching Keithie right now - about family members who have prejudices

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

My brother was at a Michael Jackson concert years ago with my sister. He yelled, "Sit down, n*****!" at someone who was standing and blocking his vision. My sister was MORTIFIED, as she should have been. We all most likely have hidden racists/sexists in our families and don't even know it.

1. If he didn't like us n*****s what was he doing at a Michael Jackson concert?

I know Michael doesn't know if he is Black or white, but let the record show he is Black.

2. My brother is a Democrat, but I'm afraid a not-so-evolved one

He's almost 51 now, and frankly, we never speak, so I'm not sure how he feels now. He was visiting my sister in the Bay Area (we grew up in small town Kansas, same town as Obama's grandparents - El Dorado), and she took him to the show.

3. KO called his granddad a "good" person but demanded Hillary reject Ferraro!

What a hypocrite! No one in my southern (White) family would have said anything close to what KO's grandfather said. In that age it was unthinkable (just to put it in context).

And KO had the nerve to tell Hillary that she had to reject another human being, not just her actions.

Earth to KO. The definition of evil is when you decide that the earth is better off without some people in it. It is when you attempt to excise of reject another human being, not just their actions. That is what the Nazis did.

KO needs to get off his dualist kick that maybe he learned from some German ancestors and grow up and learn that you never reject a human being, you only reject their actions. I am still waiting for his apology.

4. I was impressed that Olbermann opened up like that

I'm sure many of us have stories to share.

5. Fineman just said only "Knuckleheads" won't know how great this speech is.

Fineman is a dickhead.
