I don't think that the folks in Georgia and Boston got the bi-racial memo.

I read somewhere that A-merry-ca is becoming more bi-racial than ever.
I suppose that this is progress. Although, unfortunately, there are still some folks in A-merry-ca (I see you Mrs. Bachmann) who are always willing to take two steps backwards.

Norman Neesmith is one of those people. I bet he doesn't believe in all this bi-racial crap.

"LYONS, Ga. — Norman Neesmith was sleeping in his home on a rural farm road here in onion country when a noise woke him up. 

He grabbed the .22-caliber pistol he kept next to his bed and went to investigate. He found two young brothers who had been secretly invited to party with an 18-year-old relative he had raised like a daughter and her younger friend. The young people were paired up in separate bedrooms. There was marijuana and sex.       

Over the course of the next confusing minutes on a January morning in 2011, there would be a struggle. The young men would make a terrified run for the door. Mr. Neesmith, who is 62 and white, fired four shots. One of them hit Justin Patterson, who was 22 and black.

The bullet pierced his side, and he died in Mr. Neesmith’s yard. His younger brother, Sha’von, then 18, ran through the onion fields in the dark, frantically trying to call his mother.

On that day, Jan. 29, 2011, Mr. Neesmith was arrested. The district attorney brought seven charges against him, among them murder, false imprisonment and aggravated assault. On Thursday, Mr. Neesmith is expected to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct, which might bring a year in a special detention program that requires no time behind bars."

Hey, at least he was arrested; unlike you know who. I guess this is what passes for progress in Georgia. There was a time in our not too distant past when Mr. Neesmith would have been given a commendation for his actions.

Finally, congrats to Joel Ward and the Washington Caps for taking out the B's in seven games last night. I love the irony: Black man scores winning goal against goalie who refused to meet with the black man in the White House.

Sadly, as is often the case here in "color aroused" A-merry-ca, racism raised its ugly head. Of course it didn't help that this happened in Baaastan, and that we are talking about hockey.

"Joel Ward was on the plane back from Boston when his Washington Capitals teammate, Jeff Halpern, gave him a heads up — there were some crude things being said about him online.

It was only when the winger — who scored the Game 7 overtime goal for the playoff series-deciding 2-1 win over the Bruins — got home that he saw the racist Twitter attack being leveraged against him.

“I was shocked,” said Ward, when reached by phone Thursday.
“I knew there’d be some angry fans probably but it’s just sad to see.”
Ward, a Canadian whose parents emigrated from Barbados, said the racist remarks “caught me off guard.” [Source]

"Shocked"? Joel, there is someone named Reality on line one for you.

He just didn't want to be Br'er Rabbit, that's all.

"Even if some people say, 'Well, the Republicans should have done this or they should have done that,' they will hold the president responsible," Lamborn said. "Now I don't want to even have to be associated with him. It's like touching a tar baby and you get, you get it, you know ... you are stuck and you are part of the problem now and you can't get away."

That was a wingnut republiclown politician (they sure love that word) allowing his color arousal (thanks for that word, Francis) to kick in....publicly. If it's one thing that some folks in A-merry-ca hate it is for their "color arousal" to kick in publicly.

Poor O, so now he is a "tar-baby". Lord have mercy, can you imagine if he was one of us full blooded Negroes? (The man's mama is white and he is still a "Tar Baby"!) What's blacker than tar? Oil baby, maybe?

Let me stop, this isn't funny. And I know I know, the PC police should just leave the poor man alone, because we all know that he is not a racist. How could he be? Isn't he an elected politician in our great republic?

OK, so let's say, for argument sake, that he is not. Couldn't he be more sensitive about his choice of words given the fact that we do happen to have a president who is closer to tar than cement, and we know that some of us sensitive Negroes--- and whites with a conscience---- might be offended? I think he is a college educated man with some  smarts, you would think he would know better.

But sometimes, you know, you just can't hold in your true feelings anymore. Sometimes you just want to say f&^% all of this PC stuff and let it rip. Watch, one of these wingnuts will call O a nigger soon and he will quickly apologize (kind of like Mr.Lamborn is doing now) and chalk it up to a bad night's sleep.

 "Lamborn was attempting to tell a radio audience last week that the president's policies have created an economic quagmire for the nation and are responsible for the dismal economic conditions our country faces," said the statement from Lamborn's office.

"He regrets that he chose the phrase 'tar baby,' rather than the word 'quagmire.' The congressman is confident that the president will accept his heartfelt apology."

Of course he will. That Obama guy is such a gentleman. He always takes the high road.

Anywhoo, Mr. Lamborn is not alone; it seems that someone else allowed his color arousal to kick in on national television:

"If Lamborn’s comments have created a bit of a political morass, MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan also found himself in a sticky political situation about race.

Buchanan appeared on his cable network’s “Morning Joe,” program Wednesday to explain his remarks the night before when he referred to Obama as “your boy” during a discussion with the Rev. Al Sharpton.

The pair, an opposite sides of the ideological road, were discussing Obama's actions when Buchanan, a conservative who has tried to win the GOP’s presidential nomination, told Sharpton that “your boy,” Obama, had caved during negotiations.

“My what?” Sharpton asked. “My president, Barack Obama? What did you say?”

Buchanan, using a boxing analogy, replied that Obama was “your boy in the ring.”

“He's nobody's boy,” Sharpton said. “He's your president, he's my president, and that's what you have to get through your head.”

Buchanan took note on Wednesday.

“Some folks took what I said as some kind of a slur,” Buchanan said. “None was meant, none was intended, none was delivered.” [Article]

We know that "none was intended", Pat. We never say these types of things.....publicly.
