142. Lets talk turkey even though the holidays are over
We all know this is a fake picture.Ms Palin wish she could get her shoes polished.But they haven't come out with one for rubber boots and timberlines because she eats therefore she hunts.No need for pumps.Look racism has been here a long time,and it has gotten more sophisticated.People who are racist openly give less than a damn about how any one feels.It is the people who hide their racism behind the outer facade,is what makes you angry. Anyone who is an undercover racist would not dare let you know who they are because they must live and work amongst all types of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.It the systemic things that they do that hurt the most, like sitting in political office,working in Human Resource departments,law enforcement,housing,education,and media.Yes,some things have changed since the civil rights movement.But it is only because of this movement that a lot of our children tend to not see racism in its glory.Make no mistake it is there forever lurking in the shadows.The picture in my opinion,is a poorly crafted joke with racism as an undertone meant to draw attention.The only problem was that the ridiculous person that posted it, got more attention than they bargained for.It doesn't surprise me that the reports say they belong to the democratic party.There are bigots every where.And before the picture went out if they would have known that they could possibly be fired and end up in the unemployment line with those people,there would be no picture.
