"Let's be brave and have an honest discussion about race in the US."

Some really good posts in this thread, and some predictable as hell ones too. Props to Tante K for trying to spread some edu-ma-cation.

And props to BlooinBloo for once again, saying what black folks want desperately to say but know that we can't! :) And in the first damn post too!! :rofl:

1. I changed my mind and posted a rather lengthy polemic which included bits from several
different posts. Let's see what happens if and when its read.

BlooinBloo is hilarious. I do rather enjoy seeing him on these race topics.

Regards

3. I read it and responded. Good stuff, Rainey!
I just cannot muster up the energy to respond to that OP. There is just too much cluelessness. My hands get arthritic at the mere thought of trying to type out what I feel about all of this.

Fishwax is throwing down some serious stuff.

Lots of good stuff in it.

5. BREAKING NEWS: JINDAL "self-identifies" as "Bobby"

DU calls him out on the PIYUSH that he really is!!!

Could the timing on this little demonstration be more perfect?

7. Is this place a trip or what?
The Irony Award of 2009 goes to the poster who feels that it is a "slur" to call Jindal Piyush but will defend to the death that the NY Post cartoon was not racist.

The irony and hypocrisy are so thick that they ooze out of the sides. Or is it just cluelessness??

8. I didn't look at that thread when I saw it becuase I was already
getting pissed off with other stuff.

BlooinBloo is always on it! I love him!

9. Bloo is a pain in the @ss, but at least he's an equal opportunity pain in the @ss.
He is definitely one of my faves here. :)
