Saving face: Showtime for the truly racist (Update)

Always the problem of not allowing a Black to have something you can not have.
Always the problem you can take and do whatever you want due to your white, privileged statue.
Always, “Big you and little Black me”.

Now that we have the Black Presidency of Barack Obama, you racist, ill-wishers and serious hate mongers have the job of maintaining your status amongst your friends and relatives.

Those friends and relatives are the people who know first hand your feelings about Blacks and other people of color. And so it is those varied friends and relatives do wait and with baited breath to see and count the times how you, their “Hero,” really handle your feelings regarding Blacks. They are ever ready to heap accolades upon you and with you loving every minute of it.

However, with President Obama they want fresh stories for you to tell; fresh things for you to do. They want newer incidences to write and talk about to their own friends and relatives. They are no longer desirous of you re-telling vintage stories as to why you voted for George Wallace or selectively failed “arrogant niggers” in your classroom or how you urinated on the vegetables at a Black woman’s market because you were not going into her “Black nigger” bathroom.

Those are stories of old; stories of “the good ol’ days”. They want more contemporary ones, don’t they, and they are bugging you, aren’t they? After all, like it or not, you have made yourself their hero! Now go get’em!

-Hay Jake, did you really call your Black supervisor a lying coon yesterday? Right to his face?? Wow-weeee!! And did you then turn 'round and call your boss a dirty ol' Jew? What do you mean you're not crazy??

Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
BB

The Iceman Cometh
He's cool, calm, and out to get Obama.
By: Howard Fineman
The blizzard had paralyzed Washington. So it was an apt day for a chat (by phone) with Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican who is working successfully—yet with surprisingly little personal notoriety—to bury the Barack Obama presidency in an unplowed cul-de-sac called the U.S. Senate. As the GOP leader there, McConnell strands Democrats in snowdrifts of parliamentary procedure and nasty talking points. "We are not just reflexively looking for areas where there will be no progress," he assured me. Having spent many years listening to McConnell, I can translate: he is reflexively looking for areas where there will be no progress. MORE HERE

A Cold Civil War
by Timbuk3
Excerpt:
Digby has a post up today discussing the extreme polarization, both in the congress and the electorate.

And
"There is not likely to be another bloody civil war, but we are in a cold civil war and have been for quite some time."
