FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET - WHEN DID IT BECOME 1990 AGAIN?
The white establishment (including the Democratic establishment) is terrified of the black man all over again.

So fucking sad. I really thought we'd gotten beyond this shit. Shows what I know.



Oh my! If the black man gets in his inauguration will look like this:

2. Yeah, I really think it's a generational thing
Can't wait for the day when the last of the segregationist generation is out of power completely.

9. I think WE have, but THEY haven't
I think that Obama is really right about needing to get past the divides of the 60s. I grew up on Sesame Street and Free to be You and Me, but my brothers, who were born in the early 60s, did not. There is a huge generational difference in our social attitudes, and I really attribute it to growing up mostly in the 70s during desegregation. Different generation completely.

15. Thank you, eeyore, WE have, and we just have to encourage other
people to embrace the difference. I was born in 56, so I'm a weirdo? Or a realist. I have two older brothers who are unabashed rethugs. Go figure.

7. Funny you post that...
I've been listening to a lot more public enemy since the campaign started :-)

I did a little photoshop concept with Obama as the 'black steel in the hour of chaos', but I gave up on the of posting it because too many people would freak.

12. LOL!! I was going to download some Public Enemy to my ipod this weekend.
I've been in a rage all day seeing white person after white person after white person looking grave and frightened over Wright's statements.
