Blantantly Wrong

This is crazy. And by crazy I don't necessarily mean racist but crazy in the literal sense. You just know the dude who did this knew what the inference was going to be when he cooked up this nonsense. He knew it wouldn't end wel--that is couldn't end welll. He couldn't have been this oblivious to the racial components. No way did this guy not see the "Obama Waffles" or hear the "Barack The Magic Negro" song and not know that this was a new day and that kind of junk wouldn't just fly under the radar. Or maybe, and this is what I'm thinking, this guy knew and just plain didn't care. He figured publicity bad or good was all good publicity--and free at that and in these times of economic hardship why break out dead presidents to attract the masses in commercials when you can use live presidents as a vehicle to bring the public, free of charge, to your eatery? People shouldn't even give this guy any business. To go there only rewards an idiot for being an idiot and I'm not in the business of throwing bones to dogs for barking and sniffing crotches--you know dog stuff. No, to earn something you have to do something and going all "Obama Fried Chicken" is just the easiest quickest route to public lore. Doesn't mean the product is any good. In fact I'd bet you the shirt off my back the food probably sucks.

Now I know that this country did more on November 4th than just electing a black man it set in motion a signal that we might be ready to have a new more mature conversation on race and that's fine. I'm willing to do that. I'm willing to be an adult and make concessions that we as a people should probably be a little less defensive because this is a decent country and we're making improvements and 2008 does prove a point but each time we take a step forward some idiot stands up and does something like this and makes us more vigilant and appeals to our lesser impulses. This is one of those times. Now I'm going to surprise you this time and not make a big deal about this because I refuse to big up this talentless hack trying to make a quick buck off the shock value of black people and consciousness of others outside of our community. But this isn't about this one guy. He's just a microcosm of all the other "Obama Fried Chickens" currently in business and all the future OFC's to come. We need to reject these morons and respond to them in a way that we haven't before we had a person of color in the white house. Not to see where it gets us but where it gets them. Ignore them and their products. It's the easiest yet most effective way to eradicate this and we all can do it if we submit to conformity for a righteous outcome. He isn't the first and he won't be the last but this needs to be a new way of responding to old trip lines. Just consider it though

That guy wouldn't get away with that bullshit where I live.

Dumb Quote Of The Day

"Barack Obama will be our first hip-hop president. I can only imagine how the world will embrace the leader of the free world when he introduces other foreign leaders with, "give it up for my man Vladimir." Giving "props" for joining us in a treaty. Or the first lady Michelle talking about "my man" the "daddy of my babies" when referring to the president. That should go over well everywhere from 10 Downing Street right on down to the streets of the Middle East...

....After a few months on the job he can refer to his cabinet members as his "bitches." Hey don't get angry at me. Take a listen to any hip-hop song, and that is the type of endearing language you will hear. A group of playas that have no respect for the country. The same country that affords them a lifestyle most people only dream of, and all they can do is endlessly complain about it."

- Craig Smith, WorldNetDaily.

We highlight this kind of poorly veiled bigotry to shed a light on it so it can scamper away back to it's darker confines in quarters befitting of it like a roach when light catches it carousing out in the open where it has no place. You can't ignore this kind of garbage because that says to it's authors that somehow it's okay. This is stupid, Craig Smith is stupid and nobody should waste his/her time ingesting that kind of stupidity on the internet.

Title says it all. It's 20 minutes long and there's vomiting at the conclusion so you should know this going into it.

This is yet another reason America, the country I love sucks. Talentless idiots, seeking attention and glory, however fleeting, go to extremes to feed their egos (among other things) even if it's gluttonous means spit in the face of people hungry worldwide who could have used the money or the food more than him. I guess we're all complicit including myself for giving this asshole recognition and viewership but alas it's a slow weekend. Yes apparently this slow.
