Race, Crazies and Hope...My rant on life as we know it.

With all this talk about racism, Joe Wilson and Obama, you can't help but to think... What's really going on?

Many would like to believe that we moved past all of that, but the "treal" is, we haven't.

One of my students asked me if I was shocked about the, "the return of racism". I told him racism never left, it's always been here. However, what we are seeing right now is just a version of it.

The teabaggers or Real Americans are the examples of this version. They are in fear of change and so settled in their foolish ways. It tickles me how they talk about "losing their country" and "give us back our nation". These are the same folks that get screwed over by the GOP every time and are too ignorant to see that.

But to them, Obama is the Great Black Demon, trying to turn us into socialists and Muslims. He is trying to help them have a better life and they continue to spout out the "He's not an American, Muslim, jungle monkey" foolishness. It's like they can not accept that he is the president, our president.

Also the lack of respect from his peers is another example. Joe Wilson is proof of this. When Bush and Cheney were running things, none of congress folks would had ever disrespected them in public. When Joe did that mess, it was clear to me that he had no respect for Obama. Then when you look at Joe's ties to certain groups with high racial views, you can help but to see racism in the midst.

As Obama continues in office, we will see more of this foolishness. We were seeing this stuff way back in the primaries and during the election. But, this can be a good thing (you know I have to present a silver lining)

Hopefully, these issues will continue the conversations about race, lunacy, ignorance and hate. Our hope lies with the next generation, who's off to a decent start with change. Seeing these sad folks scream and shout, may trigger a stronger resistance to this racial malarkey. Call me silly, but I think these crazy times could be a turning point to something better.

Joe's Admonished!

Yep, it happened. Joe Wilson was admonished today by the House.

The 240-179 vote on the resolution of disapproval reflected the sharp partisan divide over the issue. Democrats insisted that the South Carolina Republican take responsibility for what they said was a serious breach of decorum.

Republicans characterized the vote as a political stunt. Wilson himself would not back down on his position that he owed the House no apology. Surrounded by Republican supporters, Wilson said Obama had "graciously accepted my apology and the issue is over."

He should've apologized, oh well.

Some Interesting things about Joe Wilson

Our new "Joe the Plumber" should have kept his mouth shut because now, his trash is spread out in the street.

So I will share some of this trash about our favorite Congressman.

1. News peeps are pushing the Confederate flag issue he was a part of and highlighting his membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a group known to have some racist and bigoted ties in the South.
2. Joe didn't really know what's in the bill. It was obvious that he missed section 246 of the bill which is titled, "No Federal Payment for Undocumented Aliens"
   
3. Joe is in financial troubles.
4. Now, Joe is begging for people to stand with him.
5. And Joe's statement after the incident was considered a lie. His main reason for his outburst was wrong.

Joe wasn't ready for primetime, but we was very ready for him.

Joe Wilson feels the Heat and Apologizes

Asshole Joe apologizes after his foolishness.

“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”

F**K You, Joe!
