Creepy Kids’ Show of the Day:
The only thing creepier than a professional kids' ventriloquist is one who has the same voice as his dummy.
The Wright article refers to the earlier videos as having "knocked Obama’s presidential campaign off-stride," not his recent remarks.
From the Wright article:
Wright said he's told Obama that if he is elected in November and is inaugurated in January, "I'm coming after you."
Umm, what does that mean?
@2
Nice correction.
But in substance - so what? Rev. Wright's speaking tour is not helping Obama.
While much of what he says is true, I do not think mocking JFK's accent and saying JFK didn't speak English, or mocking the voices of "white people" is helpful to Obama right now. He also said that African Americans have a difference in learning style (they are right brained, subject oriented; whites are left brained and object oriented).
WTF? I think this is wrong. Homo sapiens brains are homo sapiens brains. We all have left and right brains. Saying there are differences when there are not does not get us to unity either. What if a white educator said gee, Rev. Wright is right, and therefore blacks can't learn so well via objects like books, or computers, and need to hear things in a person to person setting?
Makes me kind of nervous as this can lead to division and it's all just not true, fundamentally.
IMHO.
The untrue, offensive parts are drowning out the true and helpful parts of what he is saying. Overall, not a good way to help Obama right now for him to be providing tapes of himself mocking JFK and white people voices.
Btw his "white person's voice" is pretty good, but not as good as Chappelle's.
Thanks Levislade. I changed the post.
Medical pot disqualifies a man for a liver transplant because of a no "drug use" policy. How specious and compassionless. Some doctors think they are god.
@4:
But black dudes still have bigger penises, right??????
Speak for yourself, Eberhard.
Rev. Wright is gunning for Sharpton's job. Look for these guys to be out-sensationalizing each other in the coming months. My money's on Rev. Wright - it's not just social issues in his bag, he's adding made-up science to the mix. People love fake science.
