A few weeks ago, I bought you the sad tale of Stuart Shepard, a representative of Convervative group Focus On The Family, who was praying for the wrath of God to intercede and rain out Barry’s big outdoor speech in Denver.
Just in case you missed it, here’s the video in question.
Needless to say, I think we all remember how this turned out.
The weather in Denver was spotless all week, so I guess we can say Shepard’s D-Bag Status has been certified, if nothing else. Oddly enough, there was indeed lots of rain that seems to be ruining a Convention, it just doesn’t happen to be the one Focus On The Family was praying for.
Not to be outdone, the DNC couldn’t wait to announce God’s endorsement of their candidate.
A former Democratic National Committee chairman has apologized for suggesting that Hurricane Gustav’s expected arrival as Republicans prepare to open their national convention is a sign that God favours Democrats.During a flight from Denver to South Carolina last Friday, Don Fowler – who was DNC chair in 1995 and 1996 – was recorded telling a fellow passenger that it appears Gustav will make landfall on Monday. He said that just demonstrates that God is on the side of Democrats.
The person whom Fowler was talking to is not visible in the video, but was identified on the conservative Web site www.redstate.com as Representative John Spratt, a South Carolina Democrat.
Fowler told The Associated Press that he was making fun of comments made by the Rev. Jerry Falwell.
And here’s the video in question. Never mind the fact that it’s hella creepy that someone would be recording a private conversation on an airplane. Fowler is just as much of a dumbass as Shepard for somehow opining that God is on the side of The Chosen One (the GOP’s words, not mine).
Of course, the GOP is calling for Obama to do his weekly bus toss on Fowler. Never mind the fact that they crossed the whole God/Obama line themselves a few weeks back.
This whole thing makes me wonder exactly why people think God gives a crap one way or another which guy wins the election. Clearly, he doesn’t. If God cared enough about who the President is, wouldn’t he give us somebody, I dunno, perfect?
Clearly, McCain and Obama are quite a few steps for sainthood. I wish the idiots praying for them would admit as much and keep God’s name out they mouth.
Question: Does the GOP look like a bunch of fatlipped morons for asking Obama to denounce Fowler when they more or less have overstepped the God/Politricks line themselves? What (if anything) should be done to Fowler? Do you think God cares about who’s running the country?

Sorry, but the GOP suddenly being concerned enough about the soggy citizens of N’awlins to cancel their Convention seems a bit shady to me.
The Republican National Convention has suspended all but the most necessary activities to constitute a convention Monday and then will adjourn until further notice, John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, announced Sunday.No evening session will be called and no speakers will offer speeches on Monday night. President Bush and Vice President Cheney had both canceled their Monday night appearances at the convention earlier in the day.
The convention “will suspend all activities except those that are absolutely necessary,” McCain said late Sunday afternoon. “We hope to resume some normal activities but frankly that is the hands of God.”
McCain Campaign Manager Rick Davis said that additional activities will be determined on a day-by-day basis. He added that all activities at the convention will be procedural and not political.
Go ahead and call me a hater. I’ve been called worse. But I call em’ like I see em’, and I smell a rat here.
Are we seriously supposed to believe that the very same cats who told Negroes in the 9th Ward to Swim Or Die! just 3 short years ago are so humbled that they’re calling off 4 days of Prime Time Obama Bashing? I think not.
Let’s keep it 100. The GOP wants no part of President Bush, especially with the spectre of one of his most momentous failures looming simultaneously on the Gulf Coast. It’s just bad politricks to have a party to bash your opponents when people’s lives are theoretically hanging in the balance.
But this by not means indicates that these folks give a sh*t about New Orleanians. This is little more than a political ploy to allow the GOP to put it’s best foot (compassion for others, faith) forward, while keeping it’s club foot (lack of compassion for minorities, a very unpopular incumbent President) hidden in the attic.
I know better, I sure as hell hope ya’ll do.
Kanye was right.
Question: Do you think the GOP is genuinely concerned about the plight of Gulf Coast residents, or is this little more than politricks as usual?
McCain Suspends Most GOP Convention Programming [Fox News]
I never went to daycare. Come to think of it, I don’t even believe daycare centers even existed in my section of NC growing up. So my Pops would usually drop me off on his way to work and I spent my preschool days at with my Grandma. This was pretty cool, because since it was just the two of us during the day, I could basically commandeer the TV while she slept off the remnants of her 3rd shift. I’d inhale Cheerios and watch Sesame Street, Julia, and The Munsters reruns. But around 1pm, I’d always have to give up “the box”[1] cause it was time for Grandma to watch her “stories”. Since this was well before the days of DVD players and tv’s in every room, I would usually make my way to a nap.
So yeah, I was sorta raised on TeeVee. I guess that explains a lot.
Anyways, I was reminded of all this today as I sat, post-workout, in the locker room. The Gold’s Gym video network wasn’t playing on the overhead TV as it usually was. Instead, I saw a roundfaced brown woman and a crusty, semi-balding dude. I immediately recognized this as a soap opera, and since I never really liked them back then (though I did occasionally watch with Grandma to pass the time before Sanford & Son and Good Times came on), my Negro Reflex made me turn my head. But lo and behold, I heard a very familiar voice, and looked closer.
Holy Crap! That’s Angie and Jesse!
I don’t want anybody, to get the wrong idea about me.[2] I did not willingly watch All My Chill’rens. Period. I’m not a soap opera type of dude, despite how much I enjoy the real life human train wreck spectacle that is Gilbert Arenas. Except for Angie and Jesse, and maybe Erica Kaine, I don’t recall much about AMC at all.
Still, there’s something (I don’t know what, but surely something) to be said for Black folks who can somehow manage to pull off the same gig for nearly 30+ years. I mean, Jesse looked like a young Huggy Bear waaay back in the mid 80′s. Dude still looks like Huggy Bear, and is still workin’. That’s sayin’ somethin’. Exactly what it’s sayin’, I do not know, but it’s sayin’ somethin’.
Question: Do you remember Angie and Jesse? Did you watch All My Chill’rens? Any soaps? Were you too partially raised by one of those tan Scientific Atlanta boxes or did you go to an actual daycare?
[1] I hope ya’ll remember those old school cable boxes with the cord and those pushbuttons. Ok, maybe it was just me.
[2] Name that tune.

I’ll be completely and totally honest with you here. I really do not know what to make of this story from my home state.
Since three former Duke Lacrosse players were declared innocent of rape and assault charges, the alleged victim in the highly publicized Duke Lacrosse case has remained out of public view until now.In a press release, Crystal Mangum’s manager has announced plans to release a tell-all memoir entitled “The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story.”
According to the book’s co-author Vincent Clark, the book will be released in October.
“It is “the only definitive account of the life and struggles of the woman at the center of the Duke Lacrosse case, the alleged accuser,” said Clark in a press release. ” Were it not for the Duke Lacrosse Case, she likely would be described as a bright, young woman from Durham, North Carolina, who has had a difficult life.”
Mangum plans to donate $1 from each book sold to help battered women. Former Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong was disbarred and jailed following the collapse of the Duke Lacrosse Case. Nifong is among several defendants named in at least three federal lawsuits stemming from the case.
Mangum is accused of falsely accusing David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann of raping and beating her at a team party in March 2006. After a review by the State Attorney General’s Office, all charges were dismissed.
As I stated last year when the Duke Lax kids were cleared of all charges, nobody should have to suffer through what they experienced. I could only imagine the fear of being accused of something so heinous as rape, knowing you did nothing of the sort. The guys have been exonerated, but I will personally remember all three of their names for the rest of my life. That’s an unfair scar for anyone to have to carry. I don’t really agree with their pending $30M lawsuit against the cash-strapped city of Durham, but I guess I understand.
Then again, the real villain here isn’t Mangum, who reportedly suffers from some sort of mental illness, but disgraced District Attorney Mike Nifong, who actually did some time as a result of his lazy and opportunistic job of handling this case. He never even bothered talking with Mangum in the first place, and instead saw a way of manipulating the Black community in Durham to his advantage. Why he was so dumb that he thought white folks with money wouldn’t lawyer up and “beat them charges like Rocky“[1] is beyond me. Nifong has since been disbarred, was sued by the Lax players, filed for bankruptcy, and is now working at the Sizzler off I-540 near RDU airport. No, really, I saw him there a few weeks ago and he ruined my baked potato (no sour cream, you idiot!). He’s a douchebag par excellence, and he got what he had coming.
I don’t really know how to feel about Mangum writing this book though. If she was indeed experiencing some mental issues during the time of the allegations, you can’t totally write her off as ruining those players lives, especially when the people (namely Nifong) who could have short circuited this whole thing didn’t do their jobs. The book is supposedly about her life, not necessarily the Duke case, thus I suppose it’s fair for her to write a book and profit from it. She says some proceeds are going to charity, which is always an iffy proposition, but to each her own. On the flipside, wouldn’t any proceeds made from this book be fair game for the Duke Lax kids in a civil case? I’m sure my armchair attorneys in AverageNation™ will break this one down for me.
Question: Should Crystal Mangum be allowed to write a book that profits indirectly from the misfortune of others? Are the Duke Lax kids entitled to some of those proceeds?
Duke LAX accuser pens memoir [ABC 11 News]
[1] Yeah, I know. For a guy who supposedly doesn’t care much for Jay-Z, I sure quote him a lot. Spare the comments, please.
I posed the question “Is America Ready For A Black President?!?” on this blog long ago, and oddly enough it’s a post that still gets Googled dozens of times a day[1] and is still frequently commented on 8 months later.
You guys know my answer on this: emphatically maybe.
I say maybe because all Obama needs is the right number of electoral votes and history will be made. But that surely doesn’t indicate that America as “ready” for a brotha and sister in the White House, nor does it mean that racism isn’t alive and well. Any person of color living and breathing in this country knows that to be true. And it doesn’t make these people unpatriotic to state such a sentiment. I too love this country, and if you think about the sacrifice my forefathers made for it, I think I’ve sorta earned the right to be both proud (because I wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else) and critical (because as great a country as it is, it’s hardly flawless) as anyone else.
You guys probably also know that I have a huge bone to pick with the media about how race, particularly in terms of this year’s political campaigns, has been covered. In short, the mainstream media is either clueless, or hellbent on protecting itself. So, while Black folks (and people of color period) have discussed whether or not Barry’s Negro Blood will ultimately be his downfall ad nauseum, it’s little surprise that the media has only scratched the surface of this sentiment. Yes, I realize that repeating this same rallying cry 8 times a week is making me look slightly batty. Spare me the comments.
Enter this recent attempt by Slate columnist Jacob Weisberg. As usual, you know I hate overly quoting anyone else’s article, but I couldn’t decide where to snip here. So…
What with the Bush legacy of reckless war and economic mismanagement, 2008 is a year that favors the generic Democratic candidate over the generic Republican one. Yet Barack Obama, with every natural and structural advantage in the presidential race, is running only neck-and-neck against John McCain, a sub-par Republican nominee with a list of liabilities longer than a Joe Biden monologue. Obama has built a crack political operation, raised record sums, and inspired millions with his eloquence and vision. McCain has struggled with a fractious campaign team, lacks clarity and discipline, and remains a stranger to charisma. Yet at the moment, the two of them appear to be tied. What gives?If it makes you feel better, you can rationalize Obama’s missing 10-point lead on the basis of Clintonite sulkiness, his slowness in responding to attacks, or the concern that Obama may be too handsome, brilliant, and cool to be elected. But let’s be honest: If you break the numbers down, the reason Obama isn’t ahead right now is that he trails badly among one group, older white voters. He does so for a simple reason: the color of his skin.
Much evidence points to racial prejudice as a factor that could be large enough to cost Obama the election. That warning is written all over last month’s CBS/New York Times poll, which is worth examining in detail if you want a quick grasp of white America’s curious sense of racial grievance. In the poll, 26 percent of whites say they have been victims of discrimination. Twenty-seven percent say too much has been made of the problems facing black people. Twenty-four percent say the country isn’t ready to elect a black president. Five percent of white voters acknowledge that they, personally, would not vote for a black candidate.
Five percent surely understates the reality. In the Pennsylvania primary, one in six white voters told exit pollsters race was a factor in his or her decision. Seventy-five percent of those people voted for Clinton. You can do the math: 12 percent of the Pennsylvania primary electorate acknowledged that it didn’t vote for Barack Obama in part because he is African-American. And that’s what Democrats in a Northeastern(ish) state admit openly. The responses in Ohio and even New Jersey were dispiritingly similar.
Such prejudice usually comes coded in distortions about Obama and his background. To the willfully ignorant, he is a secret Muslim married to a black-power radical. Or—thank you, Geraldine Ferraro—he only got where he is because of the special treatment accorded those lucky enough to be born with African blood. Some Jews assume Obama is insufficiently supportive of Israel in the way they assume other black politicians to be. To some white voters (14 percent in the CBS/New York Times poll), Obama is someone who, as president, would favor blacks over whites. Or he is an “elitist” who cannot understand ordinary (read: white) people because he isn’t one of them. Or he is charged with playing the race card, or of accusing his opponents of racism, when he has strenuously avoided doing anything of the sort. We’re just not comfortable with, you know, a Hawaiian.
Preach to the choir, buddy. Preach. Chuch! Tabernacle. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think I’d written this op-ed a million times already myself.
This being America and all, other media outlets picked up the story and immediately flipped it to diffuse Weisberg’s argument, but what else do you expect? We’re supposed to pretend we’re post-racial. That people only “see the person, not the skin”. That we are colorblind and raise our kids as such.
Those are the rules. The media cannot deviate from them. And when it does (as in Weisberg’s faulty, but generally spot-on case), it’s up to the rest of the media to check them, just in the interest of restoring equilibrium.
That’s the really funny thing about folks who claim the media is in the tank for Obama, simply because they talk about him more. Apparently none of these folks notice the obvious. There’s nothing about McCain (except his negative attacks) that’s newsworthy. And a solid 75% of Obama’s media coverage carries this same quest for “equilibrium”. The net result is a big headache, at least for me.
So, where does that leave the person of color whose PoV is seldom, if ever given an grand stage like CNN, The Wall Street Journal, or (God forbid) Fox News?
Writing a blog, of course.
Yep, it’s about time for another of those Media Fasts. Ya’ll better be happy with heaping doses of We Owned The 80′s and C.Y.I.N. Case Study. Cause AB.com is about to fall waaay back from this election stuff in a second.
Question: If (when?) Obama loses, how much can/will this be attributed to his race? Is there anything he can possibly do to avoid this inevitable fate come November 4th?
If Obama Loses, Racism is the only reason McCain might beat him. [Salon]

The media has generally pussy-footed around anything more than a superficial examination of race in this year’s Presidential election. Sure, we got mobbed with shallow stuff like Race vs Gender, and that CNN’s goshawful Black In America series, but most of the chatter has been about how Black America could be effected by an Obama Presidency.
Little has been definitively examined about white America’s hesitance, and in some cases, outright fear of electing a Black President. Sure, there was the Harriet Christian debacle after Hillary’s last ditch effort failed. And there were some murmurs about folks in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, but you get the impression that the MSM just doesn’t wanna go all the way there and open that can of worms.
This is of course nothing new. If you didn’t do any reading, or hadn’t traveled to some of this country’s less savory corners, you might assume that poverty, lack of education, and general dysfunction are distinctly Negro problems. This is obviously bull, but as the old saying goes, if the hunter has a publicist, you’d assume the lion lost every battle. Or something like that. Point being, when you control the media, you can present whatever view you darned well please, and since White folks as a general rule tend to control the media, they put routinely put their best foot forward. It’s in their own best interest to pretend that certain white people don’t even exist. So, poor whites become simple “working-class Americans” who unabashedly love this country and Lee Greenwood and want to go “back to core values“. Poor blacks are basically just “lazy assed Niggas who need to get off their sorry asses and quit having 5 babies by 7 women“.
But of course, I digress.
Thus, it’s no real surprise that the whole racist element of this country that does exist is being completely ignored, or dressed up with such sentiments as “I just don’t think he represents my values” when speaking of Obama. Hell, there were two cats busted in the past week alone for plotting some peabrained assassinations of Barry, but these incidents didn’t even warrant front page news or more than a 10-second soundbyte amongst the cable news talking heads. Could you imagine the media outcry if a bunch of Haitians were found to have been stockpiling weapons in hopes of takin’ out Cotton Hill McCain? Please! Johnny “Love Lips” Edwards and his Maury-episode would be buried somewhere on Page 9 by now, right along with Michael Phelps. You and I both know this.
So, I guess I find the following story, while sad and patently pathetic, somewhat refreshing in a very odd way. At least these guys are being candid. And you know how much I love candor.
They’re not exactly rooting for Barack Obama, but prominent white supremacists anticipate a boost to their cause if he becomes the first black president. His election, they say, would trigger a backlash – whites rising up, a revolution of sorts – that they think is long overdue.He’d be a “visual aid,” says former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, in trying to bring others around to their view that whites have lost control of America. Obama’s election, says another, would jar whites into action, writing letters, handing out pamphlets rather than sitting around complaining.
While most Americans have little or no direct contact with white supremacists, organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center keep close tabs; the law center estimates some 200,000 people nationwide are active in such groups. These observers think the prospect of a white revolution is fantasy.
Jason Robb, a Harrison, Ark., attorney who represents the Klan’s Knights Party, describes himself as a “white nationalist.”
“It doesn’t really matter if Obama wins the election or McCain wins the election,” Robb said in an interview. “Neither of them are going to try to fight to preserve the white race or heritage.”
Robb said, however, that Obama’s election could prompt more whites to get involved in politics by distributing pamphlets or writing letters to editors.
Although the South has had more racial violence than most of the country, Randy Blazak, a sociology professor at Oregon’s Portland State University, says white supremacists live all over the United States. Blazak, who has studied skinheads for two decades, calls white supremacists a counterculture, not a movement, contending the latter term overstates their numbers.
Blazak said white supremacists thrive on fear of changing race relations, the women’s movement and gay rights. Blazak said white working class people in particular long for a “Leave It To Beaver” society.
“Those were the ‘good old days’ for straight, white males. But for everyone else, it was a pretty raw deal,” Blazak said.
For all the unfounded Conservative (and liberal for that matter) hate-mongering about Obama signing whites over into chattel slavery come January 09′, you’d think these nutjobs would be all over the news, but of course we know how racial double standards work. These guys are branded as marginalized, toothless (literally) and harmless ingrates living in a fantasy world, not morons with real guns and the potential to raise real trouble should Barry win as we all hope. Rebb’n Wright, on the other hand, is a 75 year old Black Panther, hell bent on repaying whitey once his secret weapon in unleashed at 1600 Penn Ave.
What’s funny is, going back to that whole “best foot forward” thing, the MSM wouldn’t dare give airtime to wingnuts like this who’d make them look bad. But Pastor David Manning, who makes Negroes and white folks alike cringe? Come on down! If there were a real-life Clayton Bigsby[1], I’d imagine he’d be getting plenty of airtime this year. In the meantime, I guess John McWhorter, Angela McGlowan, and Juan Williams will have to suffice. Yeah, I’ve been watching Fox News lately. Shoot me.
But again, I repeat, two assassination plots uncovered in the past week alone.
I’m not sayin’ we should be fearing for Obama’s life. Far from that. Reality is, he has, and will continue to have the best Secret Service detail evar. So please, pretty please, don’t allow your grandma to be fooled into voting for McCain because she fears another MLK is Barry wins. The fact that morons like those in apprehended last week were uncovered is evidence enough that the gubb’ment is serious about snuffing these fools out.
But by tiptoeing around a very real problem, the MSM is doing us no favors.
Question: Why do you think the MSM is tiptoeing around any real discussion of race and it’s potential impact on this year’s election? Did you even hear about last week’s assassination plots? Just how darn brilliant was that whole Clayton Bigsby skit?
