So bitter, I'm just sitting home clinging to my ol' Winchester, "Betsy," in the name of Lord. I'm just like any other white woman who sees a black man and gets scared or the rest of America that wants all the immigrants out.

But, don;t worry, all my frustrations are calmed by dear ol' Betsy sitting here on my lap!

Thank goodness, we po' crackas have a Harvard grad who went to the finest schools growing up telling us po' uneducated folks how we feel and why - Hallelujah!

Betsy Winchester....I think I went to grad school with her. She was tall and skinny, if I remember correctly she often shot of her mouth without understanding things properly. She would often ask questions later, but that never seemed to solve anything.

Later she married some guy Norman Richard Anderson i think his name was. He was a real big loud mouth. He stuck up for her though...even when she made no sense whatsoever.

They had a son...his name was Brady. His middle name was Bill.

and walk away. Unfortunately there are some that may just feel this way - so we've got to accept this ones indignation as their reality.

LOL!

Its funny because of my own Family history. Dem po' white folks down in Neshoba County wo was once the slave massa said the same thing when my folks the Striblings got educated and some moved north while others pooled their money and started owning businesses and real estate. Then it was 'dem g-dam uppity negras' and when the fam goes back for the reunions they sometimes go down to the local store owned by dem old mom & pop white Striblings who get a rise when my folks come in with their suits driving new cars wearing the family reunion shirts but make sure they get out of town before sundown or at least stay in their motel rooms because its near where some of Dr Kings civil rights workers got killed in the 60s. But people still wanna deny that there are many rural whites in the Bible belts that aren't gun tooting Bible thumpers afraid of a Black Revolution. Get real. Thats why a lot of us became city folk to begin with.

Maybe he'll show you how to use a semi-colon while he's at it.

you are preaching to the choir! Obama's condescending attitude and speech are just a part of why he is not the right man for the office of Pres.

You're right. I wouldn't vote for Jeremiah Wright.

As much as I try some (not all) of you really make it difficult to honor a promise to change the dialogue and focus on beating John McCain and the Republican Party. These kind of arguments make it difficult to forginve and forget slavery, Jim Crow and segregation in the deep South and the politcal disenfranchisement of non-White people. It makes it difficult to deny the reasons why my own great-grandparents left rural America for the big cities where they still were systematically segregated. It makes it difficult to forget how even though they professed faith in Jesus they still had to fight off the Night riders and Spook Hunters that killed them if they crossed the wrong side of the tracks. But this all is to be expected even though I can point to numerous posts which some of you talk about your fear and how Obama is 'scary' and how some of you will vote for mcCain who is even scarier. Contiue as you so choose. The truth you deny is out in the open and at least Obama has helped alot of us see that the American dream has become deferred and for many remains a nightmare.

so what, joined all the other groups in Amercia who have had people similiar to you telling them what to think , how the feel, making characterizations about who they are, ect... one thing you can't do in Amercia is say that about some, all hell breaks lose. I did give you a little more credit than that to be fair

Re: so

By PracticallyPerfect Apr 13th 2008 at 6:24 pm EDT

so, I'm tired of the insults. The haughty, arrogant, I'll show you the way insults.

How about we, the people, elect a candidate that actually knows who WE are, that listens to us, that doesn't continue to insult and insult as though we were all born yesterday.

I wasn't looking for the Messiah. I was waiting for a good, fair and hard-working candidate for the Presidency of the United States.

Well...if this is

practical perfection. I think I'll pass. For someone who claims to be so offended by what Obama says, you seem to be raising the bar on the side of offense.

It's good you
