We’ll be jumping right on into shit this morning, chil’ren. I can not stand it when people refer to a person’s manner of speech as “talking white” or their ways as “acting white”.

Note - my apologies to the late great Nat King Cole…but this was the song that lept into my head when a certain Franklin e-mailed me with the line “guess for got ig’nant on the radio again!”

To be honest, I usually don’t give low down garbage the time of day in my posts, but I came across this item & my jaw dropped. Yes Folks this is the kind of crap the Republicans are circulating.

A certain Sydney from Charlotte asked this bitch to comment on the use of primate imagery and dolls to depict Senator Obama. Shall we?

If any other network news outlet had captioned a segment about Michelle Obama, wife of Senator and Presumptive Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama, with the phrase “Obama’s Baby Mama” a bitch would probably have been able to rustle up a solid WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!??!

First let me say, I am not supporting Obama..but I sure as hell am not supporting HRC either.
Allison Benedikt has written a wonderful OpEd for the Village Voice on Hillary, her supporters and her campaign. It tackles that pesky subject of misogyny very well m’dear reader and I encourage…yea I demand that you read it. [...]

I read this entire article through, and really, while not what you hope to see, hardly surprising. That’s something Progressives would do well to factor. It’s not a Southern thing, it’s an American thing, and anybody who has had the good fortune to live in more than one area of our country is well aware [...]

After yesterday’s shellacking, Hill has decided to abandon all of the heretofore subtle panders to Klanservatives, and openly put on the white sheet.
In what appear to be the New York senator’s most blunt comments to date regarding a racial division in the Democratic presidential race, Hillary Clinton suggested Wednesday that “White Americans” are [...]

was it really what jeremiah wright said or was it because  he’s black?

thinking people make me smile.  stupids- not so much.  which is why i don’t like malkin or hasslebitch or the rest of the ‘talking but not really saying anything of value’ crowd.  which is why i enjoy reading larisa so much.  she just hits the issues right out of the ballpark again and again.  [...]

This may ramble but fuck it.
A few days ago C-Money and this bitch watched a local news report about a homicide. A man was found shot to death in a residential neighborhood on the North Side of St. Louis city. The report featured an interview with a young man and a woman who live near [...]

yeah. it’s usually better that i don’t write when i am exhausted because my normally short irritation fuse gets even shorter. i don’t even know how to start because i just have so very much actual anger at americans for being so incredibly stupid- and then at my own gender for being even [...]

Dear trifling knave,
In response to your e-mail claiming that I should “acknowledge the truth” of BET founder Bob Johnson’s comments defending Gerry Ferrarro’s comments that Senator Obama’s political success is a result of his blackness, this bitch has a question…have you lost your motherfucking mind?
Seriously, if a bitch didn’t fear for your sanity my ass [...]

i read belledame and angry black woman regularly- not so much shakesville.  so, i was pleasantly surprised at the post at fetch me my axe that highlighted a letter of solidarity for feminists of all shades from that blog.  i didn’t see any mention of non hetero feminists- and that is a problem.  take a [...]
