* Reminds me of the Obamacare bend-the-curve “fraud and waste” gymnastics. This idea that he personally can do something about the proliferation of late-night traffic stops, evil eye from kwiki-mart owners, et cetera, et cetera, has become a desideratum for Obama. Forget even that he doesn’t personally have much of the N The Hood experience to help simulate this authority. He might as well spend the time on Peace In The Middle East. Too bad there is no one earthbound close by to whisper in his ear that some things are not within mere mortal Presidents’ power to change much.
* Any white person who vote for the gay mulatto needs psychiatric help. We knew who he was before he was elected. Rev. Wright spelled it all out for us.
I went to a majority negro high school in Hampton, VA. It was total hell. I saw several of my friends taken away in ambulances for the sin of being white. I endured several assaults myself. But at least I had the opportunity to see reality up close and personal at a young age. I would love for the self – loathing whites preening on social media to have that opportunity.
* Notice that Obama and the NYT are framing this as minorities — not just blacks — versus, implicitly, whites. You could at least as validly divvy it up as blacks vs. nonblacks (e.g., Minnesota shooter cop Jeronimo Yanez), but then where’s the KKKrazy Glue to hold together the Coalition of the Fringes?
* It is similar to how black leaders coined the phrase ‘people of color’ to lump blacks into a huge pool of people ranging from blacks to mestizos to the Chinese. Even though many so-called people of color have more in common with whites, or at least want to live among whites, and want nothing to do with blacks at all.
If you go by housing choices it seems it is blacks vs. everyone else since all other groups will move away from blacks if they have the means.
* How Jewish is Trump’s accent? I am not very good at picking up on the distinctions between the various NE USA accents. But Trump sound a lot like Jews of his approximate age and older to me.
Here’s Gertrude Himmelfarb’s engaging in some delightful anti-feminist/pro-victorian trolling:
Aside from the accent itself, she has a Trumpian cadence to her voice. They both say words quickly, but take a lot of short pauses so the listener can catch up. Her Thatcher anecdote starting around 4 minutes is especially Trumpian, rambling but eloquent. Also like Trump, she clearly is happy and enjoying herself.
* Implicitly the Democrats are saying “hey nonblacks, if a black boy wants to attack you and beat your head into the pavement you better take it.”
I mean it is true that none of us were there besides two people, one of whom is dead. And I can’t blame his mom for wanting to believe he dindu nuffin. But Zimm got acquitted despite the best efforts of organized black supremacy, so to give her a spot at a national convention is outrageous. This is really nothing less than a declaration of war against nonblacks.
* Just as when Obama says American Muslims must do more to fight radicalism in their community, he won’t hold it against them if they don’t.
* Maybe they can get Michael Brown’s stepfather, Louis Head, to lead the crowd at the Democratic convention in chanting, “burn this motherf–ker down!”
