Friday Rap

Is it just me....or have the writers responsible for the plot and storyline on All My Children gone absolutely crazy....

I am well familiar with taking license with reality....however the suspension of belief that it would take to make these story lines acceptable...is criminal...

I am literally ready to rid the world of Ryan, Zach, and Josh

But... Kendall and Randi....they are a disgrace to womanhood...no woman in the history of the planet is that stupid...ever....even while pretending....

And I thought Crystal was bad a couple of months ago...man!

Speaking of monumentally intellectually challenged women...Our Sarah made a speech in Hong Kong this week....

Word is she was true to form of never letting the facts get in the way of her fiction..

Speaking of facts on Health Care Reform....a new poll says 65% of voters now favor the public option..

The House is set to vote on it for the first time on Tuesday..

Call your Congressman please....Tell them that Health Care Reform Without single pay or a public option..

is just another government subsidy for the Insurance and health care industry...

New survey out says spanking your kids makes them stupid....Not according to my Mom...She always said she would beat the black off me...and 50 years later I stand before you in all my light, bright and butterscotch skin...

No Black anywhere except in my mind...she missed that...I'm happy to say...

Good to see Momar back in the limelight....he's old time crazy...been that way for years...his speech to the UN shows nothing's changed....

It's still early....but I'm not seeing any signs what so ever...that my President is going to dismantle the evil empire and imperial presidency crafted together by the former regime...what's that about power corrupting...those who get it...don't want to give it up...

Maybe it's the ultimate addiction.

New gadget for cooks....a cocoon cooker that will allow you to grow meat and fish from a prepackaged mix of dehydrated...well you don't want to know....

Of course PETA may like it....won't have to kill animals anymore...just whip up a chia steak in the kitchen for dinner...

Think I will pass....

If It Walks Like a Duck and Quacks.....

Obama in denial about racism, misses opportunity to address systemic issues

I understand that Obama has firmly planted himself in the middle. He wants to be president to everybody. I'm on board with that. He was elected by nearly everybody. However, the very vocal minority who didn't vote for him and even refuse to recognize his very human-ness, as well as his American-ness, have hijacked the national conversation.

Jimmy Carter, the former president who was not as bad a president as some would imagine, kicked the door wide open on the subject. All Obama had to do was to walk through and begin the discussion.

But he backed off, preferring instead to let Carter twist in the wind. Carter's problem, even when he was president, was that he usually spoke the truth..

People just didn't want to hear it.

If this country had taken the steps mandated by Carter, back in the day, we might not be paying $4 for gasoline and hundreds of dollars a month heat our homes.

If we had listened to Carter back then, America would probably be green today living on solar power instead of just getting into the ballgame with two out in the 9th and the score 10-1.

The problem with Obama is that he still thinks he is walking the hallways of academia breathing that rarified air of debate, discussion and civil discourse....

while a street fight has broken out around him....

The guns are literally out in full view......and he doesn't want to talk about it.....

First things first...let's deal with health care reform...or let's put wall street back on track....or let's look for alternatives solutions to our energy crisis...

Note to O.....the underlying cause of this stuff.....is racism...systemic...institutionalized racism...except now it has broken into the streets and some people are hiding behind the first amendment and threatening to invoke the second....

Whole Black people have had to deal with this scenario our entire lives..."you don't like what we sayin'....we will kill you!"

That is the message from the streets to the White House...

The problem with ducking the issue in hopes that it disappears is that it doesn't...It does what things do when pushed underground and ignored.....It grows and grows until it pushes itself into the light of day...and one day you trip over it...

Obama talks about the racism he heard from his white grandmother....it is one thing to hear it from a white relative....

This is his way of showing off his so called Black credibility....see I'm really one of ya'll....

But it is another thing completely to experience it over and over again from strangers....His grandmother loved him and protected him from it as he lived in her world...even as she spoke it and practiced it against others....

He needs to step to the plate and deal with a problem that still has a strangle hold on this country.....

No amount of ducking the issue or shushing former presidents is going to make it go away..
