Not all Mexicans/Hispanics/Latinos are white. Some are mixtures of black and Native American, with very little or no white heritage at all. Some are pure or nearly pure Native American. And of course, some are pure or nearly pure white.
This doesn’t, of course, excuse Corrie Brown’s statement. She should certainly feel the heat for shooting off her mouth.
You quoted my whole fucking post?
Ahh. Yeah. Whatever.
Post.
You’re just as dense as the any number of other idiots running around this place spewing “Bushita” this and “Bushita” that.
If you don’t think that makes you sound like a radical, or at least out there on the outer fringe, then what the fuck are you thinking?
Seriously.
Is this any way to promote your cause?
I think any bigoted statements by anyone, regardless of skin color, to anyone else, regardless of skin color, are unacceptable. If this had been a white man saying this to Noriega, the outrage would be immediate. Why is it any different just because the person who uttered the horrid statement is a black woman?
I am, of course, quite bereft that I have lost your respect, though the pain is lessened somewhat by not knowing I ever had it in the first instance. But upon reflection…
The lying. Yes, that’s pretty much it right there. In a nutshell. The lying. The flag desecration as well, how he spatters the flag of my beloved nation with the blood of the innocent, and then wraps it about himself as though its very presence answered all questions and rebutted all criticism.
I might very well be drawn to polite political discourse, over tea with pinkies akimbo, murmuring demurely. It is an appealing notion to one as civilized as myself, to turn to one’s right and quietly advise “You might not wish to remain seated until the intermission, as I have good reason to suspect that the theater is quite ablaze. Do excuse me, I must be going…”
As you no doubt are aware, earlier on my view of GeeDubya was distinctly isolated, The Man Who Fell Up was widely admired and lionized, adorned with laurels that, by all rights, should shrink from the foulness of his touch. And the people are stirring, awakening. They poke the Flight Suit with a stick and recoil, for, like Nature, they abhor a vacuum. Oftimes, when one is not careful of where one sleeps, one is subject to rude shocks upon awakening. (Or so I’ve heard. I have this on the authority of friend Diogenes who is, as you no doubt know, a notorious slut. I have no such expertise to offer. But I digress…)
As much as it pains me to be deprived of your good respect, yet one must soldier on, mustn’t one? Rest assured, my faith in your own reason is not so compromised, I have little doubt. One day, perhaps soon, you will chuckle over something I’ve said and say to yourself “What an asshole! However, you know, he has a point…”
Even in the absence of your regard, that will do nicely.
elucidator, I do not agree with a single thing you just said, but I must say, it was beautifully written. Bravo! I especially enjoyed the part about crying Fire in a crowded theater. That made me giggle
(And lest anyone think I’m being sarcastic, I’m not.)
Verified. I passed your post through my Sarcas-o-meter, and it registered .001, as innocent as a lamb frolicking amongst the daffodils.
As well, I hasten to assure you that I do not condone the racism of her comment, I fully expect an apology. But it is not enough simply to condemn, I think we need to know why. Were I a black Floridian, I have no doubt I would be hopping mad over the disrespectful treatment they received during the Recent Unpleasantness. Be that as it may, that sort of thing is unacceptable.
Y’mean like Cameron Diaz?
On reflection, no: unless Cameron Diaz has a strong history of work in Central and South America, that is. But if your point is that some paleskins have Spanish surnames, it’s a valid point; still I’d be careful before mouthing off with anti-white racist epithets to someone with the last name Noriega, unless I wanted to look stupid in addition to racist. But that’s just me.
