Pa-Pa and Big Mama lived not far from the freeway that ran through small Texas town. They owned a little two bedroom house that could not pass inspection by today’s standards. There were places in the floor of the house where the layers of lanolin had peeled away and the wood floor had rotted away long before, allowing you to see right down to the dirt just below the crawlspace. According to my older brother, this house was a step up from the previous house that had an actual dirt floor.  This was the first house that my great grandparents owned that had indoor plumbing. All the others had outhouses.

My brother and I had been visiting for about a week, when Pa-Pa summoned us.  In his hand he held what looked like chocolate, and he was breaking off a small piece, as he asked, “Have you boys had a bowel movement, since you been here?”

Not knowing what a bowel movement was and figuring it to be a bad thing, I answered proudly that I had not had a bowel movement. I was not admitting to the “mischief” of a bowel movement, figuring such an admission would negate me getting a piece of that chocolate.

Apparently I answered correctly, because just as I had predicted, Pa-Pa broke me off a very small piece of what I figured must have been expensive chocolate. My brother answered that he had had a bowel movement.  HA HA, no chocolate for him!  What a knucklehead he was!

The next day, I was in the garden with the neighbor kids—a boy slightly older than I, and his sister Cookie, a tall, pretty black girl about four years my senior.  I had a small crush on Cookie, so when she invited me to pick vine-ripened tomatoes with her, I was excited.

There we were, Cookie and me, picking deep red tomatoes right off the vine, as sweet as home-grown watermelons, juice squirting us like little water cannons.  Eating vine-ripened tomatoes with my secret older woman crush, and just being a kid.  That was this little black kids definition of heaven at that time.

Then it happened. All of a sudden, I got an overwhelming urge to use the bathroom. But it was like no other “go to the bathroom” urge I had ever felt.  This urge put the urge in urgency! My sphincter was quivering like the pursed lips of a first kiss.

Panicked, I looked at the back door of my great grandparents’ home.  Though only a short distance away, I calculated that it was still too far.  The neighbor’s houses were all in wide public view from all angles, and the only trees to be found provided inadequate cover. Dang it!

No time to think, as there was only one solution.  Run for the back door!!

Quick for my age, I sprinted towards the back door, kicked open the gate, my salvation mere yards beyond that screen door.  I got a few steps into the yard, only feet from pay dirt, when my sphincter relaxed in utter despair.  Bowel began to slowly move down my legs, like lava oozing from a volcano, and for me, just as hot.

The time for running had ended.  I just stood there, not really knowing what to do.  As luck would have it, my older brother and biggest tormentor stood before me.  It was as if he had been stalking me to see when the chocolate would kick in.  He looked at my face, then my crap-covered legs, and with a demonic laugh exclaimed, “How’d you like that chocolate?!”

My great-grandmother ran me a bath, where I sobbed in my own excrement.  I finally realized what a bowel movement was; moreover Ex-Lax is not candy. If only I had not been a pretender!

Here’s the wrap:

Like me, Obama is ruining running this country like an Ex-Lax eating five-year-old, playing in his great grandfather’s garden eating vine-ripened tomatoes with his favorite girl!  You want a lavish vacation to Spain as the rest of the country struggles, no problem!

Meanwhile he keep eating those little chocolates, crapping programs like forced substandard government healthcare on us all. You’re not part of a union, well not for long! Don’t believe in the farces of global climate change, I don’t care, I ate the little chocolates!

Progressive regressive Liberals will be there to put him in a bath of his own excrement, as he sobs at his approval ratings.  But he is not sobbing alone, as I did. Unfortunately America is left to sob with him.

That’s my rant!

Jim gave a surprised laugh, evident my comment gave him no discomfort.  Nevertheless, the blatant use of the term Cracker these days got me to thinking about Crackers in general. So I decided to perform a quick investigation.

In my investigation, I was surprised at all I had not known about Crackers.  Like the sheer number of crackers out there! So many in fact, that I suggest America is made up of nothing but Crackers.

Even more revealing is that Crackers run the gamut of the color spectrum; yes, Crackers come in all colors! For example, you have your very white Saltine Crackers, which includes all my fish-belly white friends also known as “Gingers.”  Saltines include Scandinavians, Germans, Russians, Slavs, many Brits and even some Spaniards.

Well-tanned whites in America might be considered Ritz Crackers, and it is they who based on looks alone could be confused with Graham Crackers, a group that includes Arabs, Hispanics, and even some blacks.

And though there is distinction between cookies and crackers, that is only for the purist, because there is an Oreo Cracker, which of course is the black Conservative.

As for Cracker origins, you would be hard-pressed to find a pure Cracker. Almost all had some flavoring, and many had nuts and seeds.

I even had kosher Crackers at one of my Jewish friend’s house, so Crackers even cross religious lines. And who could forget the Communion Wafer, which we all know ain’t nothin’ but a Catholic Cracker!

Colleges and urban soirees have Party Crackers, who origins I learned are from Old English Crackers, ironically served at Tea Parties!

Wise Crackers come in all shapes and sizes, and they are not wise at all, but quite irritating.

Firecrackers have a lot of spunk, and are team players. They usually climb the corporate ladder quite quickly.  Firecrackers make people jealous, particularly Union Crackers aka Union Wafers, who conspire to keep firecrackers down.

Town House Crackers are little short guys who live in tree houses. Most of these Crackers are from the Keebler family, and surprisingly accepted by all.

The very wealthy tend to be Club Crackers, but don’t get Club Crackers confused with Crackers who just like to go clubbing. And Crackers who like to go clubbing should not be confused with the LAPD, who again are just Crackers who like to club Rodney King.

Crackers don’t all have to be human, thus we have Animal Crackers!

Bill Clinton would call Hillary a “nut cracker”, and of course there are just nutty Crackers like Rosie O’Donnell, Janeane Garofalo, and poster boy for this list, Mel Gibson.

Needless to say, Americans use the word “cracker” day in and day out, with little outcry from any crackers. Jim Hoft laughed when I called him a Cracker, because Jim can make fun of his crackerness!  He is a tall lanky Midwesterner, who can’t dance—typical for a Saltine.

Here’s the wrap:

Jim doesn’t see white people as “weak and in need of government protection,” because somebody called them a WORD! How silly is that?!

When the news of the cracker comment by the Black Panthers about “killing Cracker babies” broke, there were no committees formed by whites getting together to fight the oppression of the Black Panthers. Instead there were hundreds of Facebook pages started with “cracker” in their name. Many people added “Cracker” as their middle names.  Ted “Cracker” Nugent, Ronald “Cracker” Reagan, and so on. Self-deprecating humor by white people skyrocketed.

Whites took the statement by the Black Panthers as just a “wannabe Cracker” trying to get attention—more funny than threatening. Anybody want to guess what the reaction would have been by blacks, had the situation been opposite? Malik “N-word” Shabazz…NOT!

Now Liberal blacks will say Jim’s reaction is just a testament of this being a Cracker’s world. Moreover as we have learned from Shirley “I’m still really a racist” Sherrod, it’s a rich, white Cracker’s world. I will be called a Cracker Lover, and race sellout, and yes, Oreo Cracker.

Nevermind that the president is half black. Because Liberal blacks constantly ignore that Obama is also half cracker—wheat cracker is my guess.

Whatever kind of Cracker you are, my hope is to one day go back to only caring about the content of the cracker’s character.

That’s my rant!

The Halfrican Perspective

Having grown up Halfrican—a black mother and a white father—I have a slightly different perspective on race-relations, and the ability to truly see both sides of the issue.  The view from here, I’m sad to say, is not always a pretty one.

In “Dreams from my Father”, Obama writes of making a conscious decision to stop advertising that he is half white.  Coincidentally, at the same age I had an epiphany of my own: that for as much as racism against blacks is decried and the subject of disgust, racism by blacks—both against other races and against their own—is just as widespread and much more culturally accepted.

I remember vividly the day that my best friend, who was Black, came over and found that my family had four different brands of cereal.  She said, only half joking, that “it must be ‘cause yo’ daddy White”.  While I didn’t grasp the insinuation that I had an unfair advantage in life by being part white, I did pick up on the thinly-veiled contempt in her voice.  I understood that she felt that my White half had left the proverbial glass half full, and that hers would forever be fully empty in her own eyes.  That was when I first realized that there would come a time when I would have to decide for myself whether or not I really was black.

The following year, just after my 13^th birthday, my family moved from my diverse hometown and put me in a school where I was one of only a half dozen blacks.  I tried to seek camaraderie with other black students, but it seemed that there was nothing about me that they liked.  From my bubbly personality, to my valley-girl accent, to my eager participation in class served as proof to them that I was “trying to act White”.

Decision time had come: was I Black, or was I White?  My decision was both…and neither. 

Rather than take Obama’s route and abandon one half of my heritage for social benefit, I accepted that  what I am does not define who I am; and I decided to be myself and let the cards fall where they may.

The post-racial America that we were promised when President Precedent was elected hasn’t exactly worked out as planned.  What we have in its place far less resembles the utopian dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. than it does the racially tense times during which he gave his famous speech.  Extremist groups like the New Black Panther Party have made the climate in race-politics even more volatile—pitting Black against White, and leaving many wondering where they fit in.

When Black Panthers start yelling about black men having “white, dirty, cracker whores” on their arms during the “Doomsday” of their people, they make it clear that being only half Black makes one a glass half empty as far as they are concerned.  I wonder if it has occurred to them that there are an awful lot of people who were born to those “cracker whores” and their race-traitor Black fathers—our own President among them, his pardon for being half-cracker coming from marrying a Black woman.

There is, however, no wiggle-room allowed when the NBPP declares that the only way to seek racial equality is to kill whites, and white babies.  This kind of hate speech doesn’t get Black people pumped up and ready to sign on. Instead it makes us do a collective eye-roll and wish that people like them weren’t out there giving the rest of us a bad name.  Most Blacks, Halfricans especially, see the danger in extremists claiming to speak for all of “their” people.

The NBPP have given the media a sensational sound-bite of Black racism, and it’s not going to waste.  Groups are springing up like wildfire in response—with names like “Cracker Nation” and “The National Association for the Advancement of Cracker People”—but it’s not self-deprecating humor in which the danger lies.

When the Black Panthers proclaim their group to be the true voice of a people, some people take them seriously in that regard.  The idea of Blacks setting out to kill white babies as a means of achieving power only seeks to reaffirm racists’ belief that the race with the highest rates of unemployment, dropouts, illegitimacy, and abortion are indeed a primitive and inferior race.  Having the First Lady decry the Tea Party as racist while telling Blacks to “increase the intensity” certainly doesn’t help present the race as moderate.  While Blacks cringe at how this makes them look, racists delight at finding a treasure trove of proof that their way of thinking is correct. 

My own life experiences have included many more where I am seen as “not Black enough” than ones where I was discriminated against for being Black.  However, the cycle that the Black Panthers are perpetuating—where racism and threats of violence lead only to more racism and threats of violence—leaves Halfricans like myself dodging racism from both sides. 

Instead of feeling as though I don’t belong anywhere, I see that now more than ever, I belong everywhere.  The duty to point out extremists of all races as just that—extremists—lies on those of us in the middle to show what both sides (or, in this case, races) are really all about.  I can rant with my friends of all colors about the dangers and innate racism of Affirmative Action, while showing an example of someone who chose not to look at their heritage as a racial handicap, and found success on their own.  I can have a “just between our own kind” conversation with Blacks or Whites, reminding that White Supremacist groups nor the NBPP or NAACP speak for but a small minority of people of their race. 

Whether I am seen as half-Black or half-White, this Halfrican knows that my glass is completely full.

Rachael Williams is a Researcher and Writer for The Black Sphere. Kevin Jackson was a contributor to this article.

From their own website, the NAACP proclaims:

“…From the ballot box to the classroom, the thousands of dedicated workers, organizers, leaders and members who make up the NAACP continue to fight for social justice for all Americans.”

Perhaps we need to check the citizenship of Ken Gladney, the black Conservative who was attacked by the two SEIU thugs.  As Big Government showcased in the press conference by the NAACP in St. Louis. Gladney was mocked by the NAACP spokesperson. The organization that “fights for social justice for all Americans” called Gladney an Uncle Tom. Gladney was ‘right on color, but wrong on politics.’ 

Ironically, one of Gladney’s attackers was white. So it seems that in the NAACP’s Hierarchy of Worth, black Conservatives rate lower than the white thugs who would attack them.

And if that wasn’t enough, there seems to be no outcry from the NAACP when the Black Panther voter intimidation case was thrown out by the InJustice Department.  Apparently protecting the rights of those colored “white” is not in the purview of the NAACP…the group “fighting [sic] for social justice for all Americans.” Does the NAACP condone the belief of the Black Panthers that, “Crackers are about to be ruled by a black man!”?

The little known part of that story was that black GOP election officials were threatened, called “race traitors,” and told that there would be “hell to pay,” when they left the precinct. This injustice didn’t manage to make the NAACP website.

Neither did comments made by newly exonerated NBPP spokesperson, Minister King Samir Shabazz, the very same Black Panther who was intimidating people at the polling precinct in PA, when he said, “You want freedom? You’re gonna have to kill some crackers! You’re gonna have to kill some of their babies,” Perhaps like the NBPP, the NAACP is about the “total destruction of white people.” I think it would be safe to add the black “race traitors” to that list.

More recently we have the NBPP threatening Tea Partiers and getting “ready to rumble.” Rumble over what? The Tea Party movement stands for limited government, fiscal responsibility and accountability. The Tea Party movement is about empowerment. Giving power back to the people. Maybe that’s what the NBPP and the NAACP are afraid of?

Despite not a single piece of evidence, the NAACP sells racism about the Tea Party movement to black people, like bootleg DVDs. Says the NAACP according to this article:

“Tea party supporters also have a distorted view of race relations, the resolution says, citing poll data that found that 25 percent believe that the Obama administration’s policies favor blacks over whites…”

If 25% believe something, doesn’t that mean 75% don’t?! Nevertheless for the NAACP, black people are obviously at the mercy of the 25% of Tea Partiers who actually “believe their lying eyes.” This minority of Tea Party supporters has witnessed Obama’s policy of redistribution, his reparations mentality, and they have the nerve to speak out. Here again, speaking out against policy is now racism as well.

Another black group—the Congressional Black Caucus called the Tea Party movement racist. There were claims by the CBC that they were spat on, and call the N-word. Allegations remain unsubstantiated, though Andrew Breitbart has offered a six-figure bounty for proof. Though that’s a lot of cheddar, Breitbart’s money is safe, I assure you.

Here’s the wrap:

The real truth is these unsubstantiated racist incidents brought forth by the CBC couldn’t draw enough attention the so-called racism of the Tea Party movement.  So the NAACP was needed to step in and hopefully escalate to Defcon Four. It doesn’t matter that there is no proof, because the lie is the proof.

Going against the Tea Party movement is today’s “Bushism.” It’s the cheap comedian joke, and nirvana for Liberal fundraising.

It is unfortunate that a group founded in 1909 by Republicans has degenerated to the level of what the NAACP represents today. They are little more than one of the hierarchical levels of race hustlers, at best a Ponzi scheme for blacks. At worst, the NAACP is simply the new and improved KKK. Their new motto:  Blacker and Badder Than Ever.

That’s my rant!

Kevin Jackson is the author of The BIG Black Lie, and The Black Sphere blog. Kevin appears on Fox News, and his articles appear in American Thinker, Townhall magazine, and other mainly Conservative publications.

Gateway Pundit provides this transcript:

Back in the day, we used to call someone like that, and I want to remind you, uh, when this incident occurred, I was really struck by a front page picture of this guy, which we called, a Negro, I mean that we call him a Negro in the fact that he works for not for our people but against our people. In the old days, we call him an Uncle Tom. I just gotta say that. Here it is, the day after a young brother, a young man, I didn’t mean to call him a brother, but on the front page of the Post Dispatch, ironically, he’s sitting in a wheelchair, being kissed on the forehead, by a European. Now just imagine that as a poster child picture, not working for our people.

The group that is supposed to represent all “colored people” calls a black Conservative an “Uncle Tom.” And their representative apparently is unaware that the NAACP was originally called the National Negro Committee, before deciding to include all “colored” people.

In the Gladney attack, one of Gladney’s attackers was white.  One can only conject that the “new and improved” NAACP will protect only Liberal “colored people,” and selected whites—particularly those instrumental in giving beatdowns to “Negros.”

On the night of the incident, Gladney was working to provide for his family selling Gadsden flags at an event.  Of all the people these two union thugs could have selected at what the Left would deem a racist event, the thugs avoided the hundreds (crowd estimates were 1000 people) of white folks and found the only black person. There that Negro is, Cletus!

Gladney was not adorned in red, white, and blue, nor was his appearance overly patriotic. He looked and acted like a “vendor.” Nevertheless, the two SEIU hooligans, both at least fifty pounds heavier than Gladney singled him out for their attack. Wearing their gang colors, the purple SEIU t-shirts, his attackers made it perfectly clear that they represented the union–apparently Gladney didn’t have his union card.

So a black man was attacked for no reason, and while on the job; yet there was no outcry in the black community, no Sharpton visit, no Jackson press conference, and we now know the NAACP’s stance on the issue. The best they could come up with when attacking Gladney in the court of public opinion was: He didn’t even have medical insurance!

Gone are the days when the National Negro Committee turned NAACP actually stood for Republican ideals and truly represented the interest of blacks and other “colored people.” Like on June 18, 1935 in Murray v Pearson, when Thurgood Marshall and Charles Hamilton Houston successfully argued the landmark case to open the University of Maryland School of Law. This was back with the NAACP truly cared about educating blacks and protecting the rights of blacks.

This type of event is where the NAACP could have regained credibility and showed that it represents all people; instead they showcased exactly who and what they are—an organization who condones thuggery.

The speaker mentioned that Gladney was being “kissed on the forehead, by a European.” I’d like to know who is kissing the NAACP on the forehead. What exactly have they accomplished for black people in the modern day?

The worse neighborhoods in America. The worse schools. The highest crime rates. The most people on welfare, per capita.  Highest teenage pregnancy per capita. Highest high school dropout rates per capita. Lowest home ownership per capita. Lowest business ownership per capita.

Here’s the wrap:

The NAACP couldn’t do worse for blacks if it had been founded by Confederate Civil War veterans[1].  And in the Gladney incident, the NAACP proved that they are no better than the KKK.  

Like the KKK, the NAACP has its second-class citizens—black Conservatives. Nevertheless, given the effectiveness of the NAACP in dealing effectively with black issues, I suggest that black Conservatives avoid the “help” that the NAACP provides, and enjoy being second-class citizens. Just try to avoid the occasional beatdowns.

That’s my rant!

The statement that Steele made has become all too familiar to this staunch Conservative. Steele attempted yet again to please both sides of the aisle. Disagree with Obama to placate the Right, and disagree with the war to please the Left. Since when does the head of the RNC want to please the Left?

Recall Steele’s belly-flop on the Liberal sword over the Limbaugh statement on the now cancelled D. L. Hughley show:

Steele rejected the idea, insisting “I’m the de facto leader of the Republican Party.”

Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh’s whole thing is entertainment…”Yes, it is incendiary. Yes, it is ugly.”

Steele would later have to kiss Limbaugh’s ring, but provided fodder in Liberal circles for some time.

The reason Steele went on a black Liberal show and dogged a white Conservative is Steele wanted to be a Crip and a Blood; he wanted to play both sides.

Well that’s just not possible.  Liberals are hyenas and Conservatives are lions, and you rarely get the two to agree.

Steele tricked Conservatives into believing that he was a regular guy, and not a politician. Well he is a politician, and a poor one. We further have discovered that he is a total RINO.

As with all laymen who use Vietnam as their poster child for a failed war, Steele says in his latest SNAFU:

“If he’s such a student of history, has he not understood that, you know, that’s the one thing you don’t do is engage in a land war in Afghanistan? All right? Because everyone who’s tried, over a thousand years of history, has failed,” Steele said. “And there are reasons for that. There are other ways to engage in Afghanistan.”

Steele’s comment is just plain ignorant, dare I say “Liberalesque!” And it’s riddled with Liberal talking points.

America has the toughest soldiers, the best weapons, and the most resolve…PERIOD! If you let American Generals prosecute the war in Iraq or Afghanistan the way I would authorize them to do it, and our boys would be home before Thanksgiving!  Furthermore, no enemy would dare start any “shizzle” upon their return!

Because of Liberals we have a generation of soldiers who are still defining themselves. America’s Vietnam vets know they could have “kicked ass and taken names,” had it not been for the free love hippies of the ‘60’s with their “make love, not war” rhetoric. Because of these drug-crazed communists, America, at least for a short period was demoralized.

Circo 2010, it is that same group of brain-damaged Liberals that has much of America believing that ceding parts of Arizona to illegal immigrants is sane policy, that waging war against terrorism is American expansionism, but there is an endless supply of money for the War on Poverty.

We are back where we started, except unlike during the McCarthy Era, the commies are open about their disdain for our military troops, Capitalism, and America in general.

Here’s the wrap:

Afghanistan is a winnable war, when done right. George Bush accomplished in DAYS what the Russians failed to do in years. And if his hands were not tied by the aforementioned sissies who had never fought over anything except the location of the next orgy, we wouldn’t be discussing Afghanistan.

Nor would we have North Korea sinking our allies ships, or Iran thumbing their noses at our “tough words” regarding their obvious nuclear weapons program!

Chairman Steele’s comments do nothing to champion the cause of Conservatism, and in fact do quite the opposite. Since he has become chairman, the GOP has actually dropped five percentage points in approval by non-whites!

Steele has actually done a worse job of reaching youth and minorities than his predecessors, relying on the Tea Party movement to do the heavy lifting. Imagine what a staunch Conservative who has a fire in his (or her) belly for America would do, given the lift from the grassroots?

Liberalism is a disease, and the Chairman of the RNC has been infected. Who knows, perhaps he is a carrier?!

That’s my rant!

And skin-lightening is not just for blacks, but is a multi-cultural phenomenon, as this report in the NY Times suggests:

Dermatologists nationwide are seeing women of Hispanic and African descent, among others, with severe side effects…from the misuse of skin-lightening creams…But many others seek to lighten their entire face or large swatches of their body, a practice common in developing countries as disparate as Senegal, India and the Philippines, where it is promoted as a way to elevate one’s social standing.

And we have Harry Reid to thank for exposing this racist bias amongst Democrats, but we have Democrats and socialist around the world for exposing the pervasiveness of it all.  They NYT story goes on to say,

Moreover, it is not as if dark-skinned women are imagining a bias, said Dr. Glenn, who is president of the American Sociological Association. “Sociological studies have shown among African-Americans and also Latinos, there’s a clear connection between skin color and socioeconomic status. It’s not some fantasy. There is prejudice against dark-skinned people, especially women in the so-called marriage market.

Who knew that all I needed to do to improve my socio-economic status was to stay out of the sun!  If I had lived a life of leisure, perhaps I could have done this.  It would have limited my interaction with the rest of the world, forcing me to walk around like “bubble boy,” or cocooned like those people with the rare condition where even the smallest amount of sun is carcinogenic.  For all intents and purposes, getting sun is carcinogenic for blacks.making the sun somewhat of a racist!  The sun…conspiring to keep brothers down! 

Who knows what I could have achieved had I not grown up in the hot Texas sun.  I swear I was a very light child growing up, so much so that I actually wanted to be darker.  I could have “passed,” had it not been for my nappy hair.

I recall when my brother and I worked one summer for the son of the family who owned the ranch where we lived, and we were hired to cut trees in various clearings.  That summer was Africa hot, and we worked in the peak of the heat every day, shirtless.  I got so dark, that I didn’t recognize myself.  I peeled for the first time in my life, and panicked not knowing what was happening to me!  One of my white friends had to tell me what was happening, as I thought I had a dreaded disease.

On the blackness scale, I was “Alan Keyes black,” which is about a 9 out of 10 [Miles Davis is a 10 for those who may be wondering]. 

All the girls in Jr. High noticed that I was darker, but one actually told me that my color was…beautiful.  And I must admit, after I finished peeling, I did look healthy and frankly…AWESOME!  As the saying goes, “Once you go black…!”

Here’s the wrap:

I never looked back after that. I would never get that dark again, preferring to bounce between 6 and 7 versus the 9 I achieved that hot summer.  But little did I know the effect it would have during my potential big income producing years.

Now that I am bald, had I kept my lighter visage, I might actually be able to pass at this stage in my life. However I have learn—the hard way—that past a certain age, the skin takes on a life of its own. After all, the skin is the biggest organ…and apparently the baddest!  My skin has decided that between 6 and 7 is where I shall stay.

If I want to take my life in my own hands, I could pull a Michael Jackson and begin lightening my skin, in Mike’s case going from a 6 to a 1.  Not much future in that, and it has been linked to pedophilia!  Woody Allen is a 1 as well!

There is Sammy Sosa, who has gone from an 8 to a 3 on the blackness scale.  However Sosa has made a lot more money than I, so he is free to do as he wishes. I on the other hand am a slave to my skin.

As a black Conservative, one would think that with all the vitriol I take from the Left that I would by now have experimented with these new creams, and I would be as white as Bebe Neuwirth.  Yet, here I and other black Conservatives remain, proud of our culture, living in our own skin, and daring the sun not to shine on us.

I guess I will just ride out the rest of my life happy in the skin I’m in.

That’s my rant!

Biden getting news of Reid comment

Breaking news:  Joe Biden admitted to Johns Hopkins University Hospital after having a laughing fit at news of Reid’s comment regarding “light-skinned Obama with no Negro dialect!”

Finally somebody who said something more stupid than Biden, something science thought was an impossibility!  Biden stupidity was previously thought to be -273 degrees C…absolute zero! Not!

Reid quickly issued an apology, and Obama quickly accepted. Can’t have people analyzing the racism of Democrats now can we!  People might actually consider the Democrats history on the subject.  Better yet, perhaps Reid can be talked into switching parties, so Democrats can say Republican are the racists? 

What’s Harry Reid apologizing for anyway?!  He was right!  Like Bidenisms, Reid’s real crime was exposing the dirty little secret that everybody knows about white folks who voted for Obama…the Guilters!

In addtion to his incendiary comment, Reid is reported to have said in this article from Politico,

…throughout my career, from efforts to integrate the Las Vegas strip and the gaming industry to opposing radical judges and promoting diversity in the Senate, I have worked hard to advance issues important to African American community.

There Reid goes, telling America how many black friends he has!  I love say it!  “Black people…I TOLD you so,“ and I did in my book The BIG Black Lie! 

What have Reid and his Democrat Party done for blacks, except reintroduce slavery—new and improved!  Reid and the rest of the Democrats have indeed advanced issues important to blacks alright, if by advance you mean advanced blacks into a nuclear winter.

Reid and his racist cronies have blacks leading negatively in almost all cultural categories, e.g. high school graduation rates, college entrance rates, college graduation rates, men in prison, teenage pregnancy, abortion, and so on.  Reid et al support getting black folks just enough money and programs to stay home and stay stupid.  The UnGreat Society meets The Ingrate Society.

Democrats did opposed radical judges!  Democrats opposed radical Republican judges who wanted to end slavery and racism; promote individualism!  The last thing Democrats want are blacks who think for themselves, and that includes Obama.

Guilters voted for Obama for two reasons.  First, as Reid opined, Obama is a light-skinned black man with no Negro dialect!  Translated to Guilter: 

“Obama is that  n*gger who doesn’t act like one.  He’s acceptable as long as he doesn’t try to date my daughter!”

Next and more importantly, the reason Guiliters wanted Obama as president is he could best sell the agenda of the Left to keep oppressing the disenfranchised—for the most part black folks—without the racist elite of the Democrats getting their fingers soiled.  Guilters were overjoyed to accept a light-skinned black with no Negro dialect…as long as his ideology fit the racist Democrat agenda.  Anybody think Obama would have gotten elected if he looked like his father or thought like Clarence Thomas?  Socialist please!  Oh H-i-l-l-a-r-y!

Obama’s message was no different than Jesse Jackson’s, another light-skinned Negro presidential wannabe.  Let’s examine the comparisons.

Both hail from Chicago.  Neither had the real credentials to be president.  Both are racists with skewed agendas, though admittedly Obama is farther left than Jackson.  Both have never run any company or organization that didn’t rely on the charity of others or the government. They’re practically twins!

Guilters flirted with Jackson and blacks, making both think Jackson could be president, though Jackson had a snowball’s chance in hell getting a significant part of the Guilter vote.Black Democrats flirted with Jackson, though many felt he was too “ethnic” to be president.  It is for this reason Jackson cried during Obama ‘Abomination.’  Jackson knew that the only difference between him and Obama, two poverty pimps is…the Negro dialect.

For Jackson, the Negro dialect is part of his DNA. He could not turn it on and off to suit the audience. Jesse talked in rhythm and rhyme, and with that staccato timbre that was the precedent to rap and hip hop. 

Put hope in yo brains, not dope in yo veins!…Amerca is a racis countra, uh run by white peepa, who… meck it impausible…fuh a BLACK MAN…to git ova.  Aurppatunity just does not eggzist…for peepa of kula in Amerca.

But Obama has talent! Though he speaks ‘white’ most of the time, and is fluent in Austrian, he finds the Negro dialect or “jive” when he speaks to silly Negros—Black people who voted for Obama, simply because he is black[i].  Obama was masterful at this during his campaign, because silly Negros would not accept the white part of Obama, unless they felt he was “down,” i.e. one of them.

This is because silly Negros are also the most racist black folks in America, no different from Reid and his ilk.  These blacks voted for Obama for the same reasons as Reid…because Obama has light skin and no Negro dialect…around whites! Silly Negros liked that Obama could fool whites, though it was they who were fooled.

Ironically, back in the day Obama would have been accused of “acting white” or “trying to pass,” by not having a Negro dialect.  And his attempts to act black—that’s all it is, an attempt—would have gotten him more than a few butt-kickings in the black community.  However, because silly Negros wanted a Messiah, regardless of whether he is a no-talent-no-Negro-dialect-having-metrosexual-Communst-sympathizing-narcissistic egomaniac!

Here’s the wrap:

Women Guilters were happy to see a light-skinned black man with no Negro dialect that they could take home to Mother, and men Guilters needed a light-skinned black man with no Negro dialect they could present to their clubs. 

Silly Negros needed no Negro dialect black man who could redeem them too. They needed a light-skinned black man with no Negro dialect to show that not all silly Negros are ghetto.  “See, you can be intelligent and have our point of view!” 

Indeed you can, when you are raised by Marxist, sex-crazed radicals like Frank Davis, and your influences are race-baiting pastors and Black Nationalists!  To put this simply, silly Negros are saying that black Conservatives are not the only smart blacks.  They may feel vindicated, but they were wrong!

Obama may be intelligent, but as my grandmother would say, “He ain’t got a lick of sense!”  Obama is a deep thinker, but his intellect is misguided and useful only in discussions of socialism.

In the end however, Harry Reid, the Guilters and silly Negros have done America a favor. They have set the color line for “acceptable blacks” among racists, something of which I was certainly unaware. We now know what it takes to rise above race issues for some people.  Thankfully Americans have indeed risen above race…Conservative Americans that is.   

As for the Guilters and silly Negros however remain the most racist group of Americans ever. But there is no reason for them to apologize for their way of thinking.  In their insane way what Guilters and black Democrats hearts are in the right place.  What they are saying is simple:  They wish black Democrats would act more like…black Conservatives!

That’s my rant!

All it took for a few white folks to step in to speak for all us “po black folks” is for a white Republican Senator Joe Wilson—let’s call him “The Boogeyman”—to call Obama what he is…a liar.  Now, should Wilson have done so at the selected venue, perhaps not?  But the message was spot on.   

 Who are these white folks so eager to represent the downtrodden and most ignorant amongst us silly Negros?  Well one is a washed up old white guy, the 2^nd worst president in history (to date):  Jimmy “Crack Corn” Carter.  I guess the world doesn’t need any more habitats for humanity?

The so-called monumental event of electing a black man to the presidency apparently has not dispelled the notion that America is a country full of racists. Blacks are only about 12% of the population, which means about 40% of non-blacks voted for Obama, in order for him to get elected.  But that is not enough evidence for the Left.  Perhaps Carter believes that the 40% voted for the “white” part of Obama—after all Obama is more white-American, than he is African-American. 

In coming to the aid of po’ black folks Carter said [pp], “Some people just don’t think black people can be leaders and don’t like the idea of a black president.”  I agree!  And some people don’t like incompetent white presidents, like say…Jimmy Carter!  Are they racists?  I say they are realists!

Carter belly-crawled from under his rock, because the 52% who used to like the half-white-half-other president is dropping dramatically.  As for the 48% of America who didn’t vote for Obama, they are all considered racist Tea Baggers, Birthers, and apparently anybody who disagrees with Obama…ahem…including those were for him, before they were against him.  And that number is growing, as polling indicates, tracking coincidentally in indirect proportion to the racism index.

In case you didn’t know it, the real racists are people like Jimmy Carter, ok let me just say it…the Democrats!  Think of it, a white Democrat guy from GEORGIA!  You just can’t get any more racist than that…unless you are a Democrat from Alabama or Tennessee or South Carolina…or anywhere!

If you had the Democrats’ record on civil rights, you would be looking for a scapegoat too!  Democrats are vicious racists!  Thieving racists, in fact.  They will readily use the KKK to paint Republicans as racists, KNOWING that the KKK is their organization!

Remember folks, Democrats voted to KEEP lynching laws on the books[1], and voted over 209 times against anti-lynching laws, including Senator Byrd’s proud declaration of being against anti-lynching.  Hey, you never know when you will run into an “uppity [Republican] Negro,” who needs lynching like say…Clarence Thomas! 

Democrats didn’t want black people learn to read back in the day!  And when those pesky Republicans insisted that blacks be educated, Democrats designed a system where blacks have the lowest graduation rates and the lowest college entrance rates. The education system for blacks couldn’t have been better designed, if it had been designed by the KKK.  Wait…it WAS!

But let’s give Democrats credit. They recognized the work of those bothersome Republicans, and acknowledged that blacks were gaining in power, as LBJ says here:

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.”[2]

Here’s the wrap:

I expect that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have already submitted their complaints to the “Only Black Preachers Can Scream Racism” review board!  I don’t expect resolution, since the whiney white guilt crowd inherited the “race cards,” when Sharpton and Jackson were forced to give them up a while back.

The point is that if Sharpton and Jackson are silent on this issue, then Carter should take note.  Carter is simply too old to take up pimping, and frankly I doubt he has the fur and the fedora.

Further, I suggest that before Jimmy “Don’t know peanut about racism” Carter decides to cry “racism,” that he check his Democrat Party’s record on race—past and present—then go build another habitat for somebody black, to help the Democrats make amends.

That’s my rant!

[2] Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D., Texas), 1957

If you’re tired of not having your voice heard, then read my book, The BIG Black Lie and get others to do so. This blog will explain why we need more voices! I hope you enjoy it.

For some time now my team and many people who follow my blog have felt that I should be the “right guy on the screen” on Fox News, when they do “point/counterpoint” discussions. Admittedly, I have felt that I could add a bit more zest than some guests from time to time. I haven’t made it to this point, so I will just weigh in from here.

Recently Hannity used video shot by my friend Darrin Morley, of me questioning of Russ Carnahan—“If it’s [healthcare proposal] so good, then why doesn’t Congress want to be on it?” It would seem only fair for his producers to track down the guy who started the controversy—if truth is controversial—and provided the subject matter for his show.  But that call didn’t come.

My rightfully angry publicist contacted the Hannity producers for quid pro quo, and she submitted my latest blog regarding the reverse racism that I believe occurred in “Gates Gate.” The response from Hannity’s team was essentially that I was fishing for racial controversy. Really?!

For the record, I like Hannity, and I love what he does for our troops, and I enjoy his show. However, at the risk of never appearing on Fox, I offer my comments and critique of Hannity and his team:

As I say in my book The BIG Black Lie race is THE biggest issue Republicans confront in dealing with liberals. Race is also the single biggest reason we lose elections, as the “race card” is usually hidden inside of other issues. I would be happy to debate Hannity—or anybody else—on this subject. The Democrats use race in the most inane ways, and our most powerful pundits allow them to get away with it. And when it comes to dealing properly with the race issue, one of America’s most trusted conservative messengers, Sean Hannity is off his game. Hannity missed an opportunity with Whoopi Goldberg, when she offered the following on his TV show:

GOLDBERG: We understood that. But we couldn’t vote until 1968 in the entire country. That’s the piss off. That’s the piss off. That’s our lifetime. Now, as a kid, I don’t know, I don’t know how aware of that you were.

HANNITY: Of course I’m aware.

Hannity missed an opportunity to explain the racist history of Democrats and the Republican’s glorious past with respect to race relations.  “Of course, I’m aware.” Aware of what Sean?!

Black men got the right to vote with the passage of the 15th amendment in 1870. Whoopi got the right to vote in 1920 along with all other women in America, except the women of Wyoming, who could vote as early as 1869.  And it was Republicans who got blacks these rights, not Democrats! For years Republican’s fought for the rights of blacks to vote and sponsored or co-sponsored every piece of legislation to protect these rights. The reason black people didn’t vote everywhere in 1968, as Whoopi proclaimed was out of fear from racist Democrats and Democrat organizations like the KKK.

That is what Hannity should have “been aware of”!

Instead American conservatives watching were left to feel—yet again—apologetic for the wickedness of Democrats, instead of empowered by learning that we have nothing to be ashamed of!

The next opportunity for Hannity to educate came when a young black caller to his radio show, Mike informed America that blacks “hear different than whites.” He said that hearkening back to the good ol’ days connoted a meaning for blacks on being taken back to slavery.

Hannity could have educated this young black man (and most of America) that the abolitionist movement was spearheaded by Republicans. Further Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and so many others black abolitionists—all Republicans, as were 95% of blacks at the time. Hannity should have been explained to him that as a Democrat, Mike was voting for his own tormentors—past and present.

Instead, Hannity’s response was [pp], “…slavery was an atrocity, ” implying that it was Republicans who were responsible for slavery. Thus by omission it is Republicans who were responsible for this young black man’s trauma at “hearing different.” No Mike, it was the Democrats who had blacks in bondage, and who continue to keep blacks in bondage.

Hannity, like most non-black Republicans, appears to be afraid to address the issue of racism and slavery, as if there is something for us to lose. It’s quite the opposite—we can do nothing but GAIN! Most liberal blacks are not listening to Hannity anyway, they are listening to the lamestream presstitutes! So when Hannity gets somebody on the show, especially young black liberals with warped views, he must educate.

Conservative blacks who do listen to Hannity would like all Americans to know what we already know…WE are not the sellouts, Uncle Tom’s, house Negroes, tokens, wannabes, or as I was called recently, a “Clarence Thomas”—I took it as a compliment. It is incredulous that black Democrats don’t recognize that it is they who are the sellouts, Uncle Tom’s, and anything but “Clarence Thomases”—they don’t deserve such high praise. Consider the Paradox of Blackness, where blacks consider it disparaging to call another black person a “Clarence Thomas.” As most blacks would say, “He ain’t black.”

It’s a shame that Clarence Thomas wasted his life becoming an attorney, rising to the highest level of achievement in his professional career—a Supreme Court judge. Thomas could have done so much! Think of all those black communities that needed drug dealers, pimps, and other street thugs! Here’s a book likely found in most elitist Democrat libraries: The Clarence Thomas Story: A Life Wasted.

Non-black Republicans abhor being labeled racists, ad nauseum, because Democrat racist outnumber Republican racist 100 to 1. Many Republicans are learning from my book The BIG Black Lie who the real racists are. It’s time Hannity learn who they are as well. When did Republicans become afraid of telling the truth, especially when it’s on our side?!

Here’s the wrap:

To Hannity’s producer(s), I say to you that I don’t CREATE racist stories. I merely show the rest of America what you guys and others miss routinely.

To jog your memories, here are a few other examples of how race is used by the liberals: Hillary Clinton’s glorification of Margaret Sanger, Barbara Boxer’s treatment of Harry Alford, and of course my contrived racism surrounding Gates’ attempt to use race to taint a police officer doing his job. How many more examples do we need to know that this is an issue that won’t go away, as long as America believes Republicans and other conservatives are the bad guys? The ONLY way this issue goes away is when racism is put where it belongs…on the Left!

I say to all conservative heavyweight pundits, if you have the opportunity to get an unapologetic conservative Republican and proud American—who happens to be black—on your show, I suggest you TAKE it. I think America is ready for the real straight talk. And whether or not I get on Hannity’s show, or anybody else’s show on Fox, I promise to keep setting the record straight.

That’s my rant!
