calling obamas campaign a grass roots operation is ridiculous. While it is exciting to have a black president, that doesn't mean the man deserves abosolute praise of character/decision making skills. Many of his extreme supporters have lost sight of the fact that he is a politician. We have very serious matters that need to be tended to and that aren't necessarily race or who the white house dog bit. I almost never see anything discussing war and national security in this forum rather we argue about gay marriage and global warming. Lets not turn his presidency into a racial argument, rather lets focus on making the right decisions and making him keep his promises. So no, I dont agree with some extremist article declaring that anyone that doesn't put their whole faith under obama because of his skin color is a degenerate.
"yet insist that there is no difference between Obama and McCain, between Democrats and Republicans, between Biden and Palin: Screw you."
elegant speech right^?
"whose cannot appreciate what has just transpired are so eaten up with nihilistic rage and hopelessness that I cannot but think that they are a waste of carbon, and actively thieving oxygen that could be put to better use by others."
Sounds like someone else has a bent up energy full of nihilistic racial rage.
"But it matters nonetheless that he, and not the bloodthirsty bomber McCain, or the Christo-fascist, Palin, managed to emerge victorious."
bloodthirsty bomber mccain? The glories of name calling at the school yard, while journalism is nowhere to be found.
"It was a defeat for the internet rumor-pimps who insisted to all they could reach with a functioning e-mail address that Obama was not really a citizen. Or perhaps he was, but he was a Muslim, or perhaps not a Muslim, but probably a black supremacist, or maybe not that either, but surely the anti-christ, and most definitely a baby-killer"
Actually the internet rumor pimp who started a legal case for defrauding voters that was evidence of over lack of citizenship was actually a very famous attorney that before donated millions to HILARY CLINTON's campaign, he was and is a liberal.
"If we’re lucky, perhaps some will suffer the kind of crisis of faith that often prefaces a complete nervous breakdown. Either way, it’s nice just to ruin their Young-Earth-Creationist-I-Have-an-Angel-on-My-Shoulder day."
Ah quotes declaring that the opposition doesn't have the right to breather precious air and that also that he has the high hopes of mental trauma on his written victims.
" (which allows whites to still view most folks of color negatively but carve out exceptions for those few who make us feel comfortable and who we see as “different”
"
Ah the generalizing and stereotyping actions of a race, almost sounds like a racist quote. Almost.
"For we who are white it means going back into our white spaces and challenging our brothers and sisters, parents, neighbors, colleagues and friends–and ourselves–on the racial biases that still too often permeate their and our lives, and making sure they know that the success of one man of color does not equate to the eradication of systemic racial inequity"
Our white spaces? He absolutely is sure that black people don't share any racial biases. For we who are black its means going back into our black spaces... Doesn't sound too right.. hmm. So in short, I found Tim Wise arrogant, extremely bias and not too intelligently concerned with any foundations of real research and journalism. Extremist trash.
