White House Watermelon Email From California Mayor Dean Grose
This kind of crap makes you want to slap the Rethugligans upside their heads. It really amazes me that they don’t mind being seen as racists, the
se people have no shame. I’m starting to have a scintilla of compassion for Michael Steele because the party he is trying so hard to be a part of, doesn’t really want his kind. But, don’t get me wrong, the Democrats aren’t that much different, they just come in prettier packages.
It upsets me when assholes make racists comments and then act as if they didn’t know the meaning behind it. Feigning stupidity is not going to cut it as an excuse anymore. This jackass knew exactly what he was doing, he just forgot to delete the normal people who find being a racist offensive from his email list.
And another thing, it pisses me off when white people assume or can’t envision black folks doing and living normal lives just like they do. In what universe would the Obamas not have the annual Easter egg hunt at the white house? From my mouth to your ears, we practically live the same lives, our skin color is just darker. And for those of you who don’t know what the watermelon deal is, read below.
White House Watermelon Email From California Mayor Dean Grose Inspires Outrage.
The racial stereotype that black people like watermelons was extracted from the fact that whites (in the “minstralization” phase of racial discrimination) often took black children from their parents for weeks at a time -and in some cases indefinitely to force these orphans to complete against other orphans in “Watermelon eating” displays for white public amusement.
It’s a very old joke, tailor-made for very old racists. -But somehow nowadays (with all the information floating around at people’s finger tips) Devout racists and bigots feel they can cloak their hatred with “seeming innocent” jokes and baffoonery targeted at blacks (like blacks don’t have Easter-egg hunts)
It’s not even THAT close to Easter, but since our president had a “command speech” last night, those who are hurt by his brilliance(and his color) are venting.
As always, be well
