The Validity of Racism
Yanno, I understand that young white people in America have grown up in a time period where they feel like they have to walk on egg shells to avoid being called a racist. And I think that there are many cases where that's wrong. However, I am getting sick and fucking tired of some people completely excusing BLATANT racist bullshit, by taking the defensive position that "oh anytime someone mentions race there a racist." Yanno what? Ya damn right! Black people recognize the difference between a racist comment, and a comment about race. So if your comment needs to be justified, in all likelihood it was racist. So get the fuck over it!

And the worst part, is that this story isn't going to get any media attention. Obama's aide called Hillary a monster(which I don't find to be that far-fetched, though inappropriate) and they talked about it for THREE DAYS!!! Ferraro just wrote off every accomplishment that Obama has ever made to his being a black male, and people feeling sorry for him and black people alike (which btw is NOT the way shit works in this country, let's not kid ourselves), and they're going to ignore it all because the fucking Governor of NY fucked up. Oh and btw Hillary backed that guy too.
