Think 50 Cent is Tough, Meet Hillary

I want to preface this by stating that I am not at all Hillary hating. All of the candidates have their flaws, but this is just pure humor.
The video below is a snippet of the much talked about story of Hillary's visit to Bosnia as First Lady followed by one blogger's own account of what actually went down on that dangerous day in 1996.



Blogger's funny account

Which speech was he watching?

Pat Buchanan, former politician and current MSNBC pundit responds to Barack Obama's "A More Perfect Union":

What is wrong with Barack’s prognosis and Barack’s cure?

Only this. It is the same old con, the same old shakedown that black hustlers have been running since the Kerner Commission blamed the riots in Harlem, Watts, Newark, Detroit and a hundred other cities on, as Nixon put it, “everybody but the rioters themselves.”

Was “white racism” really responsible for those black men looting auto dealerships and liquor stories, and burning down their own communities, as Otto Kerner said — that liberal icon until the feds put him away for bribery.

Obama "Race" Speech

"A More Perfect Union"
Watch the full speech Barack Obama delivered on Wednesday, March 18th in Philadelphia, addressing the state of race in America. Its a little lengthy but worth the full viewing.

Racializing Politics

If you haven't been paying attention to the media coverage on the Race for the White House, then I suspect that you've been living under a rock somewhere on the planet of Mars! Even I've abandoned Youtube for the more astute and comical punditry of the crew over at MSNBC (Shoutout to Olbermann and Abrams!), but I digress. This election has been one of the craziest political rollercoaster rides and to be honest I don't think my stomach can hold on much longer.

So what gets my gag reflexes goin' the most? The always underlying and most recently overshadowing conversation around race. No, I was not shocked when Barack Obama was forced to explain his name or his origins, this is America, that type of ignorance xenophobia is expected. Nor was I agitated by the rantings and ravings of Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Johnson, etc. Nooo that didn't get my blood boiling either. It began with Geraldine Ferarro's comments and her clear inability to have a discussion about the way in which race potentially dominates the consciousness of American voters. My stomach twisted a second time when reading the NYT op-ed piece by Orlando Patterson titled The Red Phone in Black and White (can we say race card? GIN!). And just when I thought my stomach had settled, the drama of Rev. Jeremiah Wright tickles my uvula. Rev. Wright is the latest Obama supporter that the candidate has been asked to denounce, reject, renounce…basically prove that he utterly despises their existence. Though the denunciation of Wright, unlike that of Farrakhan, is not directly related to race, it has, unfortunately forced Obama to use tomorrow's speech in Philadelphia to discuss the role that race and religion has played in this election cycle.

This political race has provided the most opportune time to have an intellectually conscious discussion on race in America and I can't help but think that we're squandering the opportunity on what I can only describe as foolishness.
