The Like/Hate Thread

[Pinky]

I should say that there is the long-held belief in the segregated black communities in America that white people are rich because the President is white and he lives in the White House. What we're seeing here is the zeal bursting through the barrier that kept this belief out of sight for so long. Now that a brown-ish toned man, which people are quick to call "black", is President prosperity is going to magically rain down on them -- this is what they've been waiting "too long" for, for the The Man to get his come-uppin's and for the black communities across America to finally get all the glory that comes with a president that has the same skin tone as yours. I can't say how popular this view is, either held by a relatively small number of the 16% of Americans that identify themselves as "black" or a large number, but the belief exists. It doesn't help that a so many blacks live in urban areas where schools chronically fail to educate them, or that black leadership is all too happy to keep these people confined and segregated to maintain the victim-status image, among other things. The results of this situation, however, are all over the place and unmistakable.

Who else has heard of this documentary "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected"? Sounds terrifying.
