This jughead fanned the flames of racial divisiveness for eight years, and now he wants to walk into this giant hive of violence with his beekeeper suit and smoker to calm things down? Dude, just Go. Away.

Guy just can't let go
Ex-president (Lord, how I love writing that) Barack "Hambone" Obama insisted on shoving in his oar and hosted a virtual town hall meeting on the violence sweeping the country.

Did anyone ever actually read Malcolm X's autobiography?
ReplyDeleteBeen 30 yrs since I did, but sounded like he was often treated really well by whites, especially at his all-white high school where he admits his being different gave him an advantage - he was very popular at any party or dance.
In fact I ended up after reading the book thinking he had a pretty ok life overall up to when it was written (1965). It was when he became an activist that things went downhill.

ReplyDeleteRight up there with writing Never-President Hilliary Clinton.
Who's up next from the fine crop of ex-Dim Presidents? The real first black President, Bill Clinton, or the global peacemaker Jimmah Carter?
bruce,
ReplyDeleteIt was when he joined the Nation of Islam that things went downhill.
FIFY
It's been 40+ years since I read it in high school, and I got much the same impression.
My nearly all-white high school had one black student, and he was also well liked. He was tall and handsome (like a very slim Denzel Washington - with the same smile), and the girls all adored him. Too bad for them, he was quite gay.
I have a different experience than the rest of you. I was a junior in high school when they finally integrated our schools, and I remember feeling bad for the black girls in our gym class. They were so uncomfortable, but before integration, they had to attend a black boarding school 75 miles away during the school week. There weren't any protests or violence, but I heard more than one classmate make racist remarks. People don't remember how bad it was for black people back then. Young black people today don't endure nearly the racism of decades past, and yet their "leaders" keep telling that's how it is even today, while they never ever mention the breakup of black families and the slide into drugs and crime.
