Reply #196: I don't blame you

[femrap]

for not voting for Fisher. I held my nose...my poor little nose is really starting to hurt.

I participated in Jennifer's online t-shirt fundraiser. I just wore the t-shirt the other day....the one with 'Courage' on it. I wish I could have done more, but I'm so exasperated at our current condition that I'm not capable of dealing with the 'willfully ignorants' anymore. I have lost what little 'tact' I had. Now, I just tell them, 'You're so stupid you don't know how stupid you are.' And of course that just alienates them even more. I'm better at rallying people for a cause, but I just seem to lack the energy of late. I've been 'sad.' One cannot say the 'D' word or the insurance companies raise your rates. Or I have been 'anxious.'

It's just all part of the what I refer to as the 'US Malaise.' Hell, if one isn't sad/anxious, they're not paying attention.

Thanks for letting us know what Jennifer will be doing. She's such a great Feminist...and that is so rare these days. Whatever she does, it will be done w/ courage, intelligence and aplomb....I love that word.


:hi:

And now I guess I will have to read about that 'the second wife of Clarence Thomas who is white since he divorced the Black wife because she reminded him that he, too, was Black, and benefited from Affirmative Action which he absolutely detests...and since he is soooooooo confused over his racial-ness, he developed rather obtuse sexual perversions with coca-cola cans and those women (Black women only, of course) whom he oversaw at his ironic place of employment....the US Agency which overlooks Equal Employment Opportunity.'

And people wonder why I'm 'sad and anxious.'

I know this is all a DISTRACTION...I mean after 19 years, why now? I would think this would encourage Blacks to go to the polls. But maybe it's just Rove and Murdoch having fun ridiculing the women...maybe a little of 'divide and conquer' of the Black and white women? Maybe 'da boyz' just want to make clear to the 'girls' that 'see, we got the power to do whatever we want...and you're just good for play and cleaning up after us.'

I think too much. I watch those hearings 19 years ago...I had smoke coming from my ears and fire from my mouth. I remember Teddy (of all people) and Biden who just let that turd off the hook. Well...at least the young women of today can see how women were/are treated....maybe that's the whole point

Sorry for the ramble.
