Dispatches from post-racial America.

Fudge

Apparently, that’s not enough.

Good goddamn, what a fuckin moron. Because they weren’t actually in a bus ride on the way to a lynching, it’s wrong to call them racist and dilutes the power of the word. Also, how come black people get to say it?

That’s some of the dumbest shit I’ve seen in a long time, and I regularly read Great Debates.

Univision host fired for insulting First Lady — She looks like an ‘ape’

Well, to be fair, she is an ape.

As are all of us.

:confused: . . . Is that a racial epithet?! Never heard it used so before.

Oook.

If your go-to example of a rich-but-uneducated Black person is “Ghetto crack dealer” , you just may be a bigot.

At least there were no cockroach comparisons this time.

It was a reference to a Key and Peele (Comedy Central skit show) skit about the hilarious names that black football players sometimes have. One player’s entire name was simply “Fudge”.

I’ve mentioned before that my Wife and I make road trips about once a year.

About 5 years ago, the trip took us from Colorado to Wisconsin.

Wow. The number of Buck OFama bumper stickers was unsettling. I guess they think they’re being clever. Good though, that it’s really nothing more than an “I’m an idiot” badge, and they choose to identify themselves as such.

The one thing though, that I can’t get out of my mind… A Pick up truck with a chain hanging off the rear bumper. Just suspended off the ground. Handcuffed to that chain was a small, fake plastic hand. A black hand.

In debatesover voter ID laws in Nevada, a Republican lawmaker attempted to refute concerns about the disproportionate effect of voter ID laws on minorities by pointing to the fact that we have a black president.

She then demonstrated her post-racial sensibilities by referring to one of her colleagues as a “colored man.”
