Fox News is so full of it...



So now Fox News wants to jump on the post-racial bandwagon after they've played the elitist race card up until the point when a Black president is a reality? Give me a break! Ignorance permeates so much of the racial discourse on Fox News it's almost laughable.

Nevertheless, "my President is Black but his house is all white!" What it seems that some people don't understand is that when we say this it's not to say "eff people that aren't Black" or more specifically "eff white people", it's a way of saying that we are proud that someone who looks like US and can relate to us is able to be in Barack's position. Why is it that when Blacks start coming together and showing our pride everyone else seems to get scared, worried, or overly-analytical. All-of-a-sudden it's this big problem. No, it's not! We might have a Black President but in the big scheme of things we're still the have-nots. Racism is still alive. And we still have to work twice as hard. But Barack is a beacon of hope for many that in our lifetimes we will no longer be the have-nots and that racism will decline (if not end), and the playing field will be even. So when you hear "My President is Black" you might want to interpret that as "My President gives me HOPE!"

And for those who will undoubtedly say "But he's not just black..." it's obvious that they are missing the point.

And here's some previous (related) effery from Fox News vis-á-vis Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller.

These two are real pieces of work...




What's funny is that prior to the election (about a month or two away) I distinctly remember watching Dennis Miller on the Tonight Show being QUITE skeptical about Obama as the potential President and even taking a cheap shot at Michelle as well. Now he friggin' loves the guy. What a hypocritical douchebag!

And Bill O'Reilly's reputation precedes him at this point.

Regardless of what these two think most of us know that Black people have been echoing similar if not the exact same sentiments as Hov and Jay Jenkins for quite some time now. Albeit without the expletives in some cases I'm sure.
