If you consider delusional thinking fun, then so be it..
And what did Trent Lott mean then when he said that "if the rest of the country had followed our lead we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years?"
I think it was close enough that he needed to be removed from his position. He was.
Byrd should be as well. And Dean.
Yeah, good luck with campaigning for that one, Lash.
What a maroon!

<psst> Lash. We want Dean to lead the DNC .... remember?

<mutters...double standard bullshit...>
<you're right...>
don't know how I repeated that one. But never mind. Stay on point.
Lesson for the evening:
NEVER address the argument or ridiclous claims of the fanatical conservatives. Stay on focus. Play your own game. Let them eat your serve and play defense. We've got em going, let's not mess up now.
I can't believe Lola uses the word "nigger".
Obviously a fanatical racist. Must be a Democrat.

This IS fun, isn't it Lash?

Yeah, it's OK...
Well, I'm still pondering Lola referring to my gay friends as "Uncle Tom's"
You see! Lash and Foxfire, using such reviled terms as the n-word and "uncle tom." Do we need more proof? The fanatical conservatives have no shame.

It's sad, really, Lola.

Nope. I got it.
Double secret "nigger' repeating indictment on you.
<runs real fast so she can't tag me back.>
I'm gonna put that in my quote box, I think, Lash.
From a post I found on a blog:
Quote:Witness the automobiles bearing the red, white and blue ribbon sticker with the text that reads "Bring Our Troops Home Safely." On the same vehicle is a sticker that reads "Re-elect Bush-Cheney." Imagine, if you will, an automobile negotiating the streets of 1945 Germany with a sticker that reads "Stop Persecuting Jews," and another sticker that reads "Support Adolph Hitler." Flip a coin, people. Straddling a fence like that can only lead to sore balls. If a leader sends hundreds of thousands of young men and women, and middle-aged men and women, into an armed conflict without cause, and brings most of them home alive and in possession of their body parts, is he a hero? When did we start revering the arsonist who fights his own fires?

Now, that they have someone calling them on their bullshit, the spotlight they have so hypocritically been shining on conservatives has been turned around and is in their faces.
Black Americans are hearing reports now that they never would have heard under the liberal saturated press.
Hear me now and believe me later: The liberals will not be able to get away with their double standard any longer.
Blacks will be leaving the Dems over this, KKK Byrd, and other such racial atrocities.
Come on home to the party of Lincoln, baybees! Dean thinks the only reason you belong in a political meeting is if you're the hired help. Condi and Colin aren't mopping the floor---well, they ARE mopping up the Dems...
Damn. Smells like VICTORY!
Looks like Lash has been right on this all along
Quote:Alarm bells rang through the Democratic Party last week when political strategist Donna Brazile warned of an aggressive new drive by Republicans to lure more black voters.
The Democrats' most-respected minority outreach tactician warned her party at the beginning of the 2004 election cycle not to "take African-American voters for granted." Polls showed an increase in younger black voters registering as independents, not as Democrats. Many were drawn to President Bush's campaign message of an "ownership society" and his faith-based initiatives to help the needy.

Have any of you noticed that the areas with the largest concentrations of black people are Dem controlled and have been for year? The funny thing is that they haven't done anything to help the people of these cities. Instead they blame the Rep for the problems of the black man and continue to keep them in mental segregation. The use of the term "African-American" is meant to place black people at a distance of being real Americans. If this wasn't so then why does everyone insist on using the term? Very very very few blacks today are African anymore. They are about as African as I am Italian and I'm sure I much closer to being a descendent of my heritage then they are, and I would never call myself anything other then an American. Can't we drop the hyphen and just consider everyone American? I don't think the Dems will allow that to happen especially the "black leadership" of today. People like Farrakhan, Jackson and Sharpton want to be special and want to keep a level of segregation alive, it keeps them in business.
I agree with you completely.
That's why I don't use the term "African-American". It's anti-black American in my view. It just denotes an otherness--or a barrier to belonging. Its false.
Plus, it's bullshit.
You have to embrace who you are. They went through colored, Negro, black, African-American... Once they are happy with who they are--and stop hearing all this crap from those who want to keep them mad and separated--they won't need to keep redefining themselves. Words won't matter so much. They'll just be Americans.
