'Merica: Where Ignorance Still Reigns Supreme

Sometimes I like to peruse our "news" so that I can see what is really not happening in the world, and today I came across an article where both sides couldn't have been any more dense or wrong to me.

Meet who should be immediately fired from CNN before the next article that leaks is that human beings have not evolved at all. This is merely the first paragraph of the article, something that is supposed to be considered front page "news""

Snippet here:

Here's proof that President Obama has indeed ushered in a new era in race relations.

Who would have ever expected some white Americans to demand that an African-American man show more rage?

If you've followed the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, you've heard the complaints that Obama isn't showing enough emotion.

But scholars say Obama's critics ignore a lesson from American history: Many white Americans don't like angry black men.

Call me silly, but I think Obama's race rage is something that should not have even been fathomed by people. We get it. He is an African-American, and our first African-American President at that. I understand how this is huge, and I love and respect that we are able to live in an era where I got to see this happen. But with two steps forward always comes that 500 steps back. Back to the future back.

There is the fact that people are making a feebled attempt to defend him by saying he he can't get pissed because he may come down with a case of ABMS (Angry Black Man Syndrome) Comparing him to what we need is a Sam Jackson blowup. And then what happens after that?

Does he get large and green? Do his clothes rip off?

The fact that people can attach Angry Black Man as a stigma onto our President kills me. No, no, no, people he hasn't gotten mad because once he gets ABMS all the whites are going to quiver with fear and he will probably singlehandedly mug, rape, and stab us all!!

This is the most veiled racist thing I have read in a long time from a supposedly reputable site.

What did George Bush do when he was President? I didn't hear people getting antsy pantsy about him not getting mad. As a matter of fact did he spring up from that chair when her heard about the September 11 attacks or did he go back to pretending to know how to read in front of kids?

That man was like a slug that had just been salted, and every word that came out of his mouth was like Skelator with a weak chin sniveling off ninnied nonsense until someone higher up explained to him the words he had to say.

So why the attack on this current President not being angry enough? Who are these people to equate yelling about someting as comparable to, I don't know, coming up with an action plan? Were they abused as children? Daddy yells because he cares.

And the people that came up with the rebuttal of angry black man is scary, and angry African Americans are freaky to us whites. We did a survey and found out that 4 out of 5 white people don't like it when black people yell, it makes them cry. What part of the white suburbs did they come crawling out of?

And I have a novel concept. How about we go back to focusing at the issues at hand and not focus on our non-screaming President and the color of his skin which is why he doesn't yell apparently, and regardless of how you feel about him, pay attention to his actions.

No wonder this man smokes. He is surrounded by idiots.
