For What It's Worth

Have you heard the latest, "If you don't vote for Barack H. Obama, you're a racist?" 90% plus of the voting African-Americans have voted for Barack H. Obama but, we don't hear racist comments about them, do we? This Black thing is getting really stupid. You're afraid to talk about a teacher's blackboard for fear you will be labeled a racist.

All this talk about race baiting is silly, too. Obamaites complain that everyone else keeps bringing up race but them. Well, listen up you thin skinned paranoid "why's everybody always pickin' on me" crowd. Obama is a walking billboard for race. He's Black, you dribble brains! He doesn't have to bring it up. And besides, the only things being brought up are factual such as "90% of Blacks vote for Obama." The Blacks say they are proud to be voting for one of "their kind," but when a white statistician mentions that fact, it's labeled a racist remark. That's whiney.

And the young "progressive" crowd walks around with bravado for voting for Obama. We asked a few of these progs, "why Obama?" They don't know. "He's for change," they say.

CSW - "Did the fact he is an African-American sway you?"
Prog - "I feel good I voted for an African-American."

CSW - "Voting for Obama gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling?"
Prog - "I'm kind of proud I voted for him."

CSW - "Does your vote somehow make up for slavery or something?"
Prog - "They have been treated badly, you know."

CSW - "So that makes Obama worthy of the presidency because 'They have been treated badly'?"
Prog - "You're twisting my words."

CSW - "Well, why specifically did you vote for Obama?"
Prog - "He's for change."

CSW - "Please, what does that mean, what change?"
Prog - "I'm sorry. I have to get back to work.

Yeah, it's lunch time here, too. C'mon, Betty, I'll buy.
