Bad field Negro.


Regarding that pic; I bet Naomi Barber King wishes she had one....let me stop. Bad field Negro!

Anywhooo, tonight I want to hit on a touchy subject: colorism. I have been accused of it on this blog. -At least when it comes to my taste in women- And some of this was based on my...ahem, ahem, affection for a certain former child star. And while I cannot deny that my love for Lark is undying, (yes her makeup has been a bit shot lately, but hell, even a Porsche has to be taken to the car wash every now and then) she is but one of a certain hue who I find among the top ten women I find most attractive. Nia Long; Debbie Morgan; Angela Bassett; Tyra Banks; Laura London; Angel Luv...well, you get the picture;
I pretty much "always bet on black."

The thing is I do think that to a certain degree, skin tones play a role in how certain people view others. I think, for instance, that folks in the majority population do find us darker skinned Negroes to be a tad bit more threatening. And, sadly, some of us Negroes are still hung up on skin color and tones within our own tribe. (Trust me, I know a thing or two about this one, Mrs. Field is from south Louisiana, I could dedicate an entire blog to the attitudes of some folks in that part of the world, but I want to stay in my in laws good graces.)

I am writing all this because of the next story I am going to drop on you, and because I wanted to put all of my cards on the table -well most of them- about the subject.

"THE FACTS
The singer says the coverage she’s received in the media stems from her features.

THE SPIN
Frankly, I find it odd that someone who nearly killed themselves weeks ago can instantly go back to the promo trail 90 seconds after being released from the hospital and acting like nothing is wrong.

Moreover, I find it annoying as hell that she’s trying to play the victim yet again on her own actions.

In a new interview with VIBE.com, Fantasia says that her darker skin and fuller features made her a target in the media. Normally, I would be down to defend such a stance, but in her case I want her to find tape for her mouth.

Via the VIBE piece:

But does she think her African and more ethnic features had anything to do with the excessive and sometimes mean-spirited tone of the coverage she received about her personal life? Say, versus the media’s nearly silent stance on the controversial love lives of other female entertainers like Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears or Alicia Keys?

“Yes, I do. I really feel like it does. I was on Nancy Grace, CNN, every gospel station and in every magazine and every newspaper,” she told VIBE about the scandal before her O.D. “It was on. You would have thought I was the President or something.”

First of all, the media has never not scrutinized Britney Spears. In fact, when she did something extreme – oh, shaving her head – that’s when the coverage got even worse. I still see Jennifer Aniston vs. Angelina Jolie stories in the supermarket tabloids.

As for Alicia Keys, no, the mainstream media haven’t touched on her adultery stories, but to be honest, the mainstream media didn’t touch on Fantasia’s either until she tried to commit suicide.

That’s why they talk about her so harshly. She is potentially facing a lawsuit from the wife of her married boyfriend and she tried to kill herself as a result. If Alicia Keys tried to kill herself and/or had Mashonda claiming there’s a sex tape of her and Swizz getting it in you don’t think the press would think about it then?

Fantasia adds:

“I’ve battled and have had to deal with that before. Lord forgive me and I don’t want to offend anybody,” she says, “but when [I did Idol] it seemed like everybody there was Barbied out. Slim, long hair, light eyes, light-skinned. And here I come with my dark skin, full nose, short hair and full lips — it was hard.”

Yeah, but you won. And the year before that, the big friendly black man won.

The [only] thing I agree with is this:

“They never put me in those magazines [featuring] the red carpet. Everybody there has long hair and everybody is bright-skinned, and I was like, ‘But wait a minute. They never gave me that.’ That bothered me. And then I tried hard to find people to dress me and they still would not put me there [in those magazines].”

But that has nothing to do with the fact that the media saw a scandal by way of suicide, sex tapes, and being slapped with million dollar lawsuits. None of that happened for Britney, Alicia, and Angelina and if it did the press would’ve talked about it. Save racism/colorism debates for when they apply.

Otherwise, own up to your actions. Ain’t that right, Mrs. Paula Cook?

Now that I’ve had my say, what’s your spin, folks?"

TVOneonline.com is asking folks for their spin. I think I would rather hear yours.

And why am I thinking that knowing the complexion of the author will affect how I view the piece? I know it shouldn't, but I am thinking that it will. Hmmmmmm...... Bad field Negro!

Hey, Field, this is a good piece.

Now, I have some more info on the colorism, and it's coming out of Harlem. It's an invite to join a "Gentleman's Club", with Associate Membership for women 21-35 years of age; single, no children; must be college-educated with a degree; must be attractive (send a pic and a resume if you want to join) and the only requirement for men is a $5000 annual membership fee - no other requirements as specified for the women.

Think I'm making this up? Read the posts over at Jack and Jill Politics....

Why is this chatter revelant...Why is the nature of colorism which is a offshot of white racism not being discussed by FN..How come FN is giving white racism the core reason for colorism and in part the basis for a lot of self hate in Black venues a pass..

How come FN is not discussing in detail the religious profile of the writer of this fiction(Jewish)..

How come FN comes down so hard on the fracture realities of life in Black venues often cultivated for news coverage by white and jewish media outlets..

Why is FN adding to fuel and decadence of Black culture by posting this bullshit?

Maybe FN is to also reflection of white racism.. FN being an immigrant Black man from Jamaica makes special provisons for white jewish people and is proud of it at the expense of domestic Black folks like me and others...FN shames Black folks tonite with this celebrity chasing..I was hoping I was coming back to some progressive FN posts not this bullshit

Fantasia got grief because she is seen as pouching a regular woman man while A Keys stole a celebrities man. Her larger point might be true, although Jenny Hudson is dark skin and full figured but loved anyway,

StillaPanther2 said...

Brother Field....the Sister is talking about her treatment prior to her suicide attempt. She is sooo right. Being my age I have seen the treatment of many of my Sisters. Funny thing..during civil rights period the colorism was not so pronounced because we were not in mainstream America on the level of being attractive...therefor it was not an issue... now in this period of time we are trying to insert Black females in all ads...even saw one Black in a copper-tone ad. It is sad TO ME that we are trying so hard to be a part of the white world that we can't insert talented and attractive female in certain situations due to how light they are. Get our own then we don't have to worry. Why is it that the majority of American ads now have the Black male with the white female. I know but few will beleive this concept of American aparthaid. Maybe creating light-skin Blacks will ease the assimilation of the Blacks into America. Too bad that the darker people will suffer. I am light and now 60,,,so I know where Sister was coming from. I do agree about the suicide thing but America have always felt that the darken people (beast of burden) could handle more.

I think how one presents ones-self is how the media will see you for the most part.

Alicia Keys was introduced to us as a prodigy by the Clive Davis PR machine. She was presented as a person who attended college at 16 years-old.

Alicia is also a philanthropist. Her philanthropic work has been covered by the media for several years.

Contrast that with Fantasia. She from the very beginning presented herself as someone who had all sorts of troubles from a teen pregnancy to being illiterate.

So that is how the media sees these two women. And when Alicia was dating Swizz who it seems was married, but apparently separated from his wife, the MSM didn't cover it. But Alicia also didn't talk about her relationship and except for a few crazy Tweets from Swizz's ex there was no public foolishness.

Contrast that to Fantasia's recent suicide attempt after her boyfriend's wife sued her. And as you say, her suicide attempt seemed rather dubious.

So I don't think the way the media has covered Alicia and Fantasia has to do with colorism so much as public image.

Alicia has cultivated a certain image that has benefited her. And Fantasia has allowed a public image to be presented of her which has not benefited her.

And since when is Lark light-skinned, Mr. Field? I've always thought of her as brown-skinned, as we say.

Yet I came back to the same tired Black on Black beatdowns by a Black immigrant from Jamacia whose disrespect for Black Americans has almost become pathological..Yet I understand white supremacy and white privledge..I understand how it has wounded and damaged so many of us..

FN is out of order tonite ..Your cheap depraved shot at Ms.Namomi King was over the top ...

Why did you publish this chatter FN? Why did you assualt MS.King tonite with that verbal venom?

Is that where are now on Black internet sites?? Our community is being assualted by right wing thugs from rallies that are in excess of hundreds of thousands of people in DC probably millions more to Tea Party conventions seeking to disenfranchised Black voters etc...

Plane Ideas said...

Of course if a white jewish woman from Israel attacked FN wife's I bet he would excuse it...Apparently brothers from Jamacia roll like that they have no problem circulating this cheap tabloid sleaze about Black woman etc....FN have you ever told a white jewish woman from Israel to abort her child??

No I doubt it..

field negro said...

Val, reading what you said with my hand on my chin.

Sup StillaPanther? Thanks for that perspective. I read "Brainwashed" recently, and I think the author is about your age. He had some of the same things to say.

"Is that where are now on Black internet sites?? Our community is being assualted by right wing thugs from rallies that are in excess of hundreds of thousands of people in DC probably millions more
to Tea Party conventions seeking to disenfranchised Black voters etc.."

How about that? And yet you choose to defend one of the organizers of the march on one of those black Internet sites.

"FN is out of order tonite ..Your cheap depraved shot at Ms.Namomi King was over the top ...

Why did you publish this chatter FN? Why did you assualt MS.King tonite with that verbal venom?"

It must have been that "chocolate junior Tasty Kake" I had earlier. Sometimes when I eat them I don't know what I am doing. Please forgive me.

1) Nobody cares about Mashonda except black people, and 99% of black people couldn't pick Mashonda out in a line-up.

2) White people do not know or care who Swizz Beats is. The only reason they know about Swizz Beats is because he is now Mr. Alicia Keys.

3) Nobody cared about Fantasia's T-mobile married boyfriend. Even when the Enquirer had it out there a couple of months ago nobody cared.

4) The only reason people care now is because Mrs. T-mobile slapped a lawsuit on Fantasia and she tried to commit suicide over it.

5) The reason Fantasia doesn't get the red carpet is because she's tacky looking. All tatted up, ashy, running around in bare feet.

6) The media treats Fantasia like a ghetto tackhead because she presents herself like a ghetto tackhead. Singing songs about B A B Y M A M A dis go out to all de babymama I got luv fo' all de babymama,crying about how she can't read, buying houses over and beyond her means, getting said house foreclosed on to the point where Simon has to bail her out, running around on the beach all tatted up with Mr. T-Mobile...it's not a good look.

7) If Fantasia had never won American Idol or even tried out, she be sitting in High Point NC missing her rent payments because she bought this and that, begging for a paycheck advance on the job, showing up to work late and leaving early, whining about how she can't do this or that because she'on't know how to do this or that and crying about why the light skinned girl got a promotion and she be working hard and don't get no promotion.

I don't buy Fantasia's reasoning that skin color is why she's getting treated different in the press than Alicia Keys. If skin color were the sole factor, Gabrielle Union and Naomi Campbell should also be getting grinded down for busting up marriages, and that's not happening.

Moufbreatha said...

Haha! I'm mad you had to pull out your whole stock of crushes to justify your love. I can imagine you choosing the list deliberately and painstakingly, selecting a balance of features. This is a pretty conservative list, displaying a very respectable "middle ground" of black features. Had you decided to name a more risky choice like Kim Kardashian (dun dun dunnnn), you would have to balance it and pull out an Alek Wek. I kid, I kid. lol.

It's rough out there for black women, but it's kind of dangerous to automatically assume that a man who likes a white/light woman is doing so out of prejudice and self-hatred. And even so, can attraction be reprogrammed to a more pc tune?

I mean, you can't exactly jump in people's minds and act as the preference police. I always wonder about that thin line between preference and instilled societal standards/prejudices. Is preference EVER truly independent of them? I suppose it all starts at childhood, which stresses the importance of exposing kids to diversity, rainbows, kumbaya, etc etc. Eh, Kanye shrug.

Nope. This post is of no interest.

Black women should find tape for our mouths when it comes to addressing the ills that affect us. Said tape should only be removed when it is time to speak up for our "brothas".

Tape should be securely applied when we feel compelled to speak on how some of our "brothas" will pile on, rather than protect against, the insults and abuse.

Yes, the negro alternate universe is quite crowded. I am not in it, and won't get sucked in by this tired little post.

Colorism is here to stay. I always say it appears that the fearful, cowardly and whining African Americans recognize they could be on their way into extinction and the only way to fight back or to survive is aiming for proximity in appearance with the dominant white race.

"Black women should find tape for our mouths when it comes to addressing the ills that affect us. Said tape should only be removed when it is time to speak up for our "brothas"."

And please let me know when that time comes (speaking up for brothas) because I've yet to see it.

And I'm sure "addressing the ills that affect you" is more recriminations, finger-pointing, and black male bashing.

It's boring.

uptownsteve said...

Question,

If Fanatasia's dark skin was the issue, how did she win "American Idol" and become popular in the first place?

alicia banks said...

colorism is real and ancient
and it rules all
especially follywood

the case of fantasia b v. alicia k is a perfect example of colorism
no one truly paying attn can deny that

what alicia did was worse and she has been given a complete pass for it
while fantasia has been dogged into depression for doing far less

alicia's married man was not separated when they met and she became pregnant immediately and wed him huge...
and still most adoring fans have not said a word about it...

also
fantasia's adulterer left a yellow woman
alicia's adulterer left a darker woman
i am certain that also plays a role in lesser empathy and more torture for fantasia
shame!!!!!!!

Uptownsteve with his regular anti-dark skinned black woman hatred. Blah, Blah,Blah.

The biggest set of colorists are black people.
Non- blacks cannot see and differentiate all the many skin tones black people have.

Many black people also believe that non-blacks are colorists when the truth is blacks are more colorists than non-blacks.

But I blame black women because the largest promoters and enablers of status quo among African Americans is the black woman.
I have not encountered any other woman on this planet as foolish as the African American woman.

African American men are the most colorists of all black people.

It is far much much better for dark skinned black women to live and move in a non-black circle that in an all black one.

Cities with large black population like Atlanta, Washington DC, Detroit, Chicago, etc., are not good places for black women to live in.

Black women,it is time to emancipate yourself, you have nothing to lose but your chains...

There are many darkskinned women who are happy, proud of themeleves, their looks, and are content in their relationships.

Then there are the ones like you who wag fingers everywhere searching for the reason why you're miserable when the reason is in the mirror.

"The black woman has only one life to live and we should have no contract with those who do not wish us well."

So when the hell are you leaving for Denmark and why haven't you gone already?

"This is why my suggestion to black women is to do as I did,move into a non-black setting and find a mate there."

Ah colorism..I haven't been reminded of my dark skin since the 8th..Smoke, midnight..Even though I wasn't blue black, still to this day I never understood. Had this crush on a red bone, her light skinned frineds weren't trying to have that, only thing I think that saved my ass was I looked like "Turbo" from "Breaking" and could dance like his ass. Them light bright almost white negros were all the rage back then. If you had "good hair" you were the shit. (Thanks Chris Rock for reminding me of that). The dark-skinned brothers savior was Wesley Snipes, once that negro hit the big screen, it was on. Hell, Thanks Spike lee for putting Wesley on!

Sweetie, I don't give a $hit who you adore.

It doesn't bother me if black women date men who are not black.

I have a beautiful wife, never had a problem getting women, and don't have any emotional investment in this debate.

It just tickles me how totally hypocritical females like you are who encourage black women to look elsewhere yet rage against black men who date light or white women.

You really don't see the inconsistency do you?

Date or chase whoever you want.

But you can't advocate interracial relationships for black women and rail against it for black men.

It doesn't wash.

Maybe you're just upset that brothers can regularly get the white women and it's not nearly as regular for black woman despite the Princess of Lichtenstein.

Republic Monetary said...

Great article, on point - however, very few of the American Idol winners really go on to much success. Fantasia was also extremely limited in her abilities and could really only fill a narrow niche for performances. True, she may have been treated differently but it's a business we're talking about here - it's not always fair, skin color or no. Bottom line is that she didn't have the appeal some of the other winners did.

LACoincidental said...

Hey FN folks, how are you? Just had a great weekend in Vegas with my cousin and his buddies from back east. Not quite the Hangover, but funny enough.


Personally, I couldn't give two shakes about Fantasia. She was alright in 'The Color Purple' and her songs are cute pop hits. But she's India Arie or Sade -- just not my taste.

But as far as 'The Media is Destroying me because I'm dark skinned', Fantasia needs to sit down and shut up. She's getting ragged by the media for the same reason Britney Spears got trashed back in the day -- she's talented and has money, but continue to act like a straight ignorant hood rat.

Alicia Keys is the cat's meow of the white elites -- we get that. And yes colorism exists, no one denies this. And Alicia Keys and Fantasia are equal home wreckers in my personal opinion. (Then again, I don't buy an Alicia Keys album or go to the Color Purple because of their morals.)

But Fantasia is getting no love for making a fool of herself, not because she's Skillet Blond. Last time I check, Mrs. Swizz Beats didn't try to drug herself over a lawsuit. And, she has the (relative) good sense to do her dirt in the industry -- Hollywood types switch spouses more often than I change my cat's litter box (reminds me, I've got a lot of clean up to do. Hey man, Vegas was a blast).

Miss American Idol, OTOH, went and ruined a working man's home. And then pull some ignorant stunt because her man's old lady decided to check her in court.


It is what is, these foolish won't feed or clothe anyone. And I'm more concerned that folks are giving Glen Beck's ignorant ass a pass for his 'Message from God' Saturday or the inaction on Katrina rebuilding than whether or not some 'bama R&B singer is caught up in a hot ghetto mess.

Seer Uts,Guru and Astrolger of the doom lives of black women:

I have my prince and we are living happily ever after.

What do you know of black women living in foreign countries and foreign born black women living here in the States? Niente.
We certainly have not received the black man's loyalty memo and henceforth do not report to you.

The entire Caribbean Basin(Spanish, French, Dutch, English) carries a history of black women marrying prominent foreign men.
I have yet to see a black man in the States or elsewhere who is married to a white woman who have brought into the marriage wealth and social status .

You know very well that upper class white women will never drop that low by marrying a black man- entertainer, athlete or even nouveau riche.
But I have seen many marriages where the husband is white and the woman black and she automatically becomes wealthy and is propellled into a position of prominent social status .
Princess Angela of Leichtenstein's wealth is much larger than Oprah and it came along with social status and a princess title.
Uts: Keep on looking through your crystal ball of dooom for black women. Too many of us are simply out of your reach or crystal ball sight.

You can play that foolishenss with African American women, you do not know anything about West Indian women.
The typical stereotype many of you so called brothers use against black American women is," they don't have a man ,because blah, blah, blah".
Most West Indian women don't even like African American men and where men are concerned ,some of us could be colorists also and only interested in white men or men similar to them in appearance and character.

As I stated in one of my posts,my husband is from Argentina and his parents were born in Germany.

Men don't marry for money. That's a woman's game. Not saying that money and wealth isn't nice to have because it definitely is but a wife's financial success or status is just not as important to a husband as a husband's is to a wife. Men care primarily about different things in mates than women do and financial status/wealth is simply not first on that list.

uptownsteve said...

"This is how Uts believes he make his arguments strong.

Uhh, my step-mother is from Trinidad.

She is part black, part Indian and part Asian.

About 20 years ago I was visiting my dad at his home in NJ and there was a very dark-skinned West Indian man there who my step mother whispered to me was a "friend of the family".

I asked the man later after a few beers how did he know Anna my step-mother. He said with a surprised look "She's my sister."

She denied her own half-brother because he was dark.

Don't tell me anything about West Indians.

I won't get sucked into the craziness. Negroes, male AND female, KNOW they practice colorism with a vengeance. Fantasia doesn't have the features nor the complexion for the AKeys connection. Halle Berry sat on Oprah talking about killing herself over a failed relationship and folks don't treat her with the level of hostility or animosity. Except for those colorstruck sensitive negro males still angry over Monster's Ball and the gorgeous WM that fathered her child. LOL!

Two things:
a) Who gives a damn? As UTS and other pointed out, we have a drunken closet Klansmen tarnishing the name and acts of one of the greatest civil rights leaders in history. We've double digit unemployment So what if this dumb chick wants to act a fool? Will it fix the economy or clean up the Gulf Coast?

b)She did dirt and stumbled in the spotlight of the media. Again, given than she was chasing a working stiff, broke up his marriage and then did a 'cry for help' with a bottle of sleeping pills is why she's getting lampooned in the blogsphere (and primarily the Black blogsphere, white folks haven't given a damn since she was singing on AI.) Her color has little to do with it -- its just good juicy hood rat drama to distract us from other issues.

If Fantasia was white or light-skinned, the sting may not have been as bad (because everyone seems to have forgive Angelina from breaking of Brad and Jen). We might have more sympathy as a society.

But, strip color out of it, and this is still primarily about a rich& famous woman acting like a damn ignorant Alabama Porch Monkey with Money. The tabloids ragged Britney Spears and Paris Hilton for being rich, dumb skanks too. How many times did we see Britney running around with a bald head or flashing her hoo-hah on camera? And last time I checked, she stole a third rate back-up dancer from a second rate sitcom star -- and got tossed to the curb by him too.

AB - no one gives Alicia Keys a 'pass', she and Fantasia are engaged in trifling crap and on top of that, I don't give a damn what these divas do in their personal lives.

My point is that given that the media has and will trash virtually anyone (particularly if they're just tacky with their issues), Fantasia swiped her race card for a pack of gum. She did dirty and made a bigger mess with the suicide attempt (which coincides with her reality show)-- and the blogs are a buzz.

Alicia, she did Mashonda grimy; really grimy. The difference? Everyone involved didn't show their ass in the street. Keys didn't show act like a hood chick when she was pregnant, Mashonda didn't call anyone out their names in the blogs and Swizz didn't bad mouth his ex.

Private matters handled privately versus a very public breakdown. Hence you have the difference.

what is even more revealing is that uts constantly even claims i want a man as a bf lesbian

he sees that nonsense as MORE likely than a het wf like maria being manless

shame!!!!

SG to Zaida

"In other words, why do you seem to care so much about who's doing what with whom?"

Cuz nobody is doing it to HER!!

It's obvious.

alicia banks said...

uts:

she has a man.

but you are comfortable in your sexist colorist delusions.

but said delusions will never win a debate with any bf of any hue.

uptownsteve said...

Lawd help these wackos and help them get some luvin.

Look at my avatar you nuts.

My wife is chocolate brown.

Unlike you two, she is well-adjusted, confident, secure and gorgeous.

Just for yucks AB, where do you get the idea that I'm into white women or redbones (which I definitely am not)?

Because I argue with YOU?

alicia banks said...

Oh good. you're back. Now you can answer my question in the previous post I made.

Plane Ideas said...

I don't understand how the woman especially the Black woman who post on this site can accept FN's abortion remarks...

This type of decadent blogging is not why I come here

You tell 'em maria. Those morons have nothing else to do but pick on people. They are a bunch of bullies. But you are tops in my book and I wish I could email you like RK can. Some guys have all the luck in the world.

I have it now..I am not indicting the orgins of racism on jewish people..I am jewish myself..When I post about racism I seek to expand the protrait and profiles if those who get a pass often..I post about jewish racism directly with FN becuase he with pride makes excuses for jewish racism and he is proud of his bias and preference toward jews as well..I have a problem witha Black man being a bigot

Plane Ideas said...

Of course as a Black activist I get attacked often by white jews and I get verbally assaulted often with being called a swartza aka nigger in yiddish..,

I hope I have answer your query

Plane Ideas said...

When I chat with some of my jewish comrades I shutter sometimes at the information they exchange with me about racism in the white jewish venues....The denial and defensivness is off the charts of course many not all would rather I chase down the usual WASPS/crackers like FN does..

Wow! I finally gets some love! Nice!
Ok..I'll bite. Alicia..Me and Maria talk about other stuff besides what FN blogs about and it's not about "licking wounds" and "hookin' up" And Anon...lol.."Germ"? Now that's classy..lol. OK - you win. I really don't care what you think or how I should be or what I should do - it's doesn't matter but I know one thing - I'm not gonna change for you or LAA or whoever. If you have a problem with me that's on whoever and I can't change that nor do I want to. Do you. With that note, I'm going to go poker with lots of Black girls and boys and White girls and boys - oh and that one Arabic looking girl I hope shows back up - she was cute, should be fun! Ciao!

"Rottn is the type that black women need to stay away from at all cost. I am so glad white women can handle our the trash like that."

I TOLD you, I would send them all thank you notes IF possible. If they could work on their retention rates that would be appreciated SO much more.

However, IF the regular routine holds true, this ww is just kicking until she gets ready to settle down. Then she will coif up and swear to God and the heavens that she never sexed black males, complete with with "ewws" and marry a good White provider. LOL! IF she finds herself pregnant that child will promptly be abortted or adopted out. Of course folks will say that child is Black and folks will talk more mess about Black Women. It is all in the game and not NEW at all.

Unfortunately, A LOT of Black Women are refusing to AVOID AT ALL COSTS this type of black male.

What up Field! You had to go there with the colorist stuff. Well it made for interesting conversation. I think I am starting to agree with whoever said that focusing on it seems to make it more real.

However it seems to be an issue that's fading in the background considering all the other stuff we have to deal with.

Are you watching the presidents speech about supposedly ending the war in Iraq, but of course not the occupation. I wonder if he is going to talk about his continuing policy of targeted assasinations which include drone strikes and Special Forces killing folks. Ironically the majority of folks they seem to be killing are innocent civilians.

And this policy was enacted by the so-called moral and great black man that folks so adore, who still hasn't lifted a finger to help poor and struggling folks here in the US.

Hey speaking of rebuilding when is New Orleans going to be rebuilt?

H.L. Mencken is famous for a lot of witty statementes.

For example: Mencken said the only people women hate more than men -- are other women.

After reading this post and the comments, we can modify Mencken's observation this way: The only people blacks hate more than whites -- are other blacks.

no_slappz said...

mellaneous,

The Korean War ended in 1953. But just to be sure those dirtbags in North Korea stay out of South Korea, the US has had at least 30,000 troops stationed at the border since 1953 -- 57 years.
