Some inaugural day rants.
Hey Everyone, I dont want to get off on a rant here, but:
1. Did you know that Barak Obama is the first black president of the USA? Geez, i would have never known that if our friends at ABC,NBC,CBS, MSNBC, FOX, and CNN hadn’t told me daily since Nov 4th….and about every 15 seconds during the conronatio…err,….Inauguration. Seems odd to focus on his skin color (which seems to be to be more mocha than ‘black’, but who cares, right) but apparently that matters to some people today.
2. Did u know that Martin Luther King, Jr was apparently black also…..i think he was a speaker of some reknown, but it was so long ago that almost no one who isnt black apparently remembers or believes in anything he tried to accomplish.
3. Did you know that starting around 400 years ago people from Africa were slaves here in America? A practice that was finally outlawed 150 years ago? (So no one alive today had anything to do with it.) Apparently, unlike the millions of slaves of all colors that were ‘owned’ (by the Romans, the Assyrians, the Mongols, the Turks, the Babylonians, the Zulus, the Carthaginians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Egyptians, the Russians, the French, the Arabs, the Hindus, the Africans, and countless other cultures throughout history) these people were targeted just because of their skin color and merit special treatment.
4. Did you know that apparently humans were more bigoted and racist many years ago than today?
5. Wasnt a democrat suppossed to win this election? Just like everyone loathed Bill Clinton after 8 years and elected a republican in 2000, it was time for a democrat to win, regardless of their skin tone…. (and it was still a close election….despite the outdated ’electoral college’ crap…) 2012 is right around the corner…..
6 …and when did it become mandatory for any Christian preacher to call themselves Dr ? . you dont see the muslims, jews or hindu’s addorning themselves with pseudo-academic credentials….. Isn’t that term reserved for people who actually earn degrees studying something? Dr of Divinity is almost as bad as an honorary degree …..an affront to people who actually get PhD’s by earning them.
Enuff’: I gotta go renew my NAACP membership and my cell phone minutes.
