Campaign 08' is big shit. An event. It's like a big ass family BBQ. It began hella late, got juicy when folks started fighting, got uncomfortable when someone's honest ass uncle spoke the truth about how fucked up the family was (Rev. Wright), and people got even more uncomfortable when somebody's hush-hush white girl said some dumb shit (Hillary's aide) loud enough for everyone else to hear. Now people are beefin' hella hard by playing dirty; bringing up bad histories, drug addictions, baby mama's and ashy nephews. Meanwhile, I'm one of those relatives looking at my phone every 30 seconds, trying to find the perfect time to spout an acceptable lie and bounce."<BR/><BR/>BEST ELECTION '08 ANALOGY EVER.

"putting a Black face and progressive politics on an old problem" I was searching for those words.<BR/><BR/>But he lost me with his race speech ... and reinforced it with his stumbling silence in response to a question about the Sean Bell verdict. Not that would be cause for me to not vote for him if I could vote here. And I think the amount of people I know who have issues with Obama but still claim they will vote for him is indicative of the US electoral process.gochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156730682906684481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880575224552835226.post-31811158751832541682008-04-29T18:24:00.000-07:002008-04-29T18:24:00.000-07:00pssst your wack.nah i feel you, the shit is played...pssst your wack.<BR/><BR/><BR/>nah i feel you, the shit is played out. it's come to a point where if obama doesn't hurry up and become president i'll feel like i've wasted way too much energy sitting my ass on my couch watching cnn and yes, fox news.<BR/><BR/>but i'm not afraid, it's about fuckin' time he gets in. he deserves it and fuck it, i deserve it too.<BR/><BR/>oh and by the way - "snatch"Imahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00126596329374000620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880575224552835226.post-87020396399684004462008-04-29T16:08:00.000-07:002008-04-29T16:08:00.000-07:00Thank you!

And the fact that we still have *months* left to go makes it even more annoying/depressing. It's ridiculous that the NYPD shot an unarmed black man 51 times and got off, yet all the media wants to talk about is why Obama doesn't wear a flag pin or how he's an elitist (as if the other candidates, who are also vying for the most elite job in the world, are not). Or about Rev Wright. It seems like the reaction to Rev. Wright and the lack of reaction to the Sean Bell case both speak to a pervasive terror/fear of black men in this country.Jazminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747709436495271674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880575224552835226.post-25716334689765102862008-04-29T13:26:00.000-07:002008-04-29T13:26:00.000-07:00Word, jay, you speak truth, sister. Okay, no matte...Word, jay, you speak truth, sister. <BR/><BR/>Okay, no matter what you think of the man, I definitely recommend reading Ralph Nader's memoir of running for president in 2000 if you haven't already. It's called "Crashing the Party" and it is awesome and speaks exactly to the whole issue of "elections as spectacle, not substance" that you are talking about.<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well with you.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>KCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
