No character, no respect for human values nor integrity
I speak in reference to the recent cover of The New Yorker Magazine featuring the Obama’s.
As noted before, poor whites and Neo-cons will go to any lengths to make a Black man “loose his cool” which, in my opinion, is the objective of the magazine’s cover. The cover also exposes one of the many facets of racism and yes, I posit there are many rooms in the mansion of racism and the room to get a Black to “loose his cool” is but one of them.
Many Blacks view this as saying the whites are trying to play so many games with you. “Runnin’ a game on you” we would say. Most of the games are very irritating and that is the point of the game; to irritate you so much that you first implode due to the fact you may not be in a position to defend yourself and the next step is exploding wherein you loose your temper, your job and your credibility.
In a classroom with a racist teacher, some of those Black youngsters don’t know what hit them when they erupt like a volcano. They can’t articulate it but they know that teacher said something that bothered them. Fortunately, as one gets older, one is in the same helpless situation but fortunately has the ability to articulate the situation.
The perpetrator(s) are amused and carefully monitor your body language as they do their thing with you and if you know the game, you too can be amused at their amusement. I am mindful of the string and wood puppet of a Black man tap dancing or something on a square block of wood when you pull the string.
As I named this post, people like the ones featuring the picture of the Obamas on the New Yorker magazine have no character, no respect for human values nor integrity. In essence, they are human wannabe’s with absolutely no foundation upon which to build; useless and powerful entities looking for every opportunity to thwart civilization. Their lives call then to do nothing else. I think of that Charlie Brown character that is always depicted under a dark cloud.
The share holders of The New Yorker magazine can speak louder than I. For some it maybe a revenue thing and for others it may be one of integrity. In any case, the share holders have the megaphone in situations like this and we will never know it they have or not voiced an opinion. “I may not get there with you…” the man said. Sad but true. This sort of thing has got to be embarrassing also for the McCain campaign. You could never get me to think he would approve tacitly or otherwise this conduct. I honestly have no ax to grind with Sen. McCain. I don‘t know why but I just don’t. Guess the Obama surrogates take so much of my energies. What a bunch! (Smile)
I note and applaud this ‘all that is needed’ dignified and tasteful response: The Obama campaign is condemning as “tasteless and offensive” a New Yorker magazine cover that depicts Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in a turban, fist-bumping his gun-slinging wife.

And I also note as “interesting” the end of Ex-Pres. Clinton’s 44 minute speech “Speaking at the National Governors Association's semiannual meeting,” and I look forward to Sen. Obama helping Pres. Clinton spreading the word he is not a racist.
"If we don't, in the words of President Roosevelt, dark will be the future," he said. "I'm betting on light—I hope you are, too."
