*Thanks to my sista from anotha mista for bringing this to my attention.
Like I have said COUNTLESS times before, every now and then we are reminded how a certain fraction of society seems to just want to say to minorities, "Aren't you happy yet?" Here is a clear and ever so present case. Besides the fact the Laura Ingraham makes herself just sound like a complete repressive ignoramus, she's completely uninformed. And sadly so is most of the country. Check this out:
In addition to the fact that I hate this show purely for the basis that they NEVER let anyone present their point or truly have dialogue, this was incredibly ridiculous. This brings me to the top 10 reasons Laura Ingraham is an IGNORANT DUMMY:
5. The ONLY Spike Lee reference out of his vast array and collection you had to refer to was "She's Gotta Have it"? One of the LEAST political? You are preparing a segment on him, a discussion of him and you don't even familiarize yourself with his work? WOMP!
4. "Are you saying I'm hosting the O'Reilly Factor tonight because of affirmative action?" Did you think you got there because of your winning good looks? You look like a pterodactyl gone wrong. Julia Roberts, Jennifer Anniston you are NOT. Here's where much of the majority got effed up in the language of affirmative action. It was an EQUALIZER for minorities, for women, for all those that were UNDERREPRESENTED IN ALL FORMS! It was never a "race legislation" that was just meant to bring up minorities and put white people back. The problem lied in that it BROUGHT TO LIGHT the GLARING discrepancies in our country and showed how vastly we were still segregated so to speak across racial lines and therefore became a "race thing". So before you get your mocking tone sista girl, think on these things, or perhaps READ or else when Sokoni says something like this: "Before affirmative action your college was probably all white males but as a result of affirmative action you benefited from it." You look incredibly stoopid. I mean hello! Did you forget we, as women, were last to get the vote too? BOOP!
3. "If McCain said we're gonna have a real Vanilla country I have a feeling that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and uh people like them, would be storming McCain headquarters saying denounce this comment,"
Oh Laura ::sigh:: do you hear youself? You went from city to country in 10 seconds....slip much? Could you show your ass any more? But thanks to Sokoni to put it back in perspective:
"If you put all the presidents in a room it would be a vanilla room"
2. "So what do you want? What would make you feel like we've made progress in the united states because apparently a democratic nominee for the presidency does not make you feel like we've really moved beyond this kind of bean counting mentality."
Really Laura? 43 presidents we have had in this country, of those, 27 are post slavery's abolition when we supposedly all became equal lol. That's 108 years, roughly, of presidential terms and you want us to be happy about a nominee? Hmm. ok ::stops counting my beans and presidential terms:: wellsa massa I'll be ons my way and back to my place of never dreaming I could be president.
Furthermore, how dare you form a question to Mr. Sokoni basically asking him to speak for the entire race. You might as well have said, "What do you people want, we threw you a bone!"
1. DC IS KNOWN AS CHOCOLATE CITY DUMB ASS IT WAS A JOKE!
God how dense can you be? There are art references in poetry from the 50s, 60s, 70s. Even white people have heard the phrase and definitely if you live there you're familiar with it. ARE YOU SERIOUS INGRAHAM?! Get a clue.
I'm not even going to touch how off base she was with her comments about imprisoned minorities because as a former poli sci major, friend of many wrongly imprisoned people, I might pop a blood vessel just typing about it and she's not worth ruining my Starbucks.
What I will say is that no Laura, we aren't happy, that man needs to win. That's the change we need.
I hope you're all geared and ready for the 4th because apparently this has turned into an all out new civil war between race, intellect AND money. Where will you stand?

- I'm blunt...and rather observant...DUH that means I should blog! I suffer from, no let me rephrase, I combat living with an AVM on a daily basis. An AVM is an Abnormal Veinous Malformation which affects about 250,000 people in the US (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/cerebro/AVM.htm#Link8). It affects everyone differently, for me it's caused a constant headache since 2003...litterally. I've been in countless doctors offices, been poked and proded, been through the emotions of being misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I've been through a lot and not just because of my...let's call it an ailment. Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...

You know honestly, as I look at our situation and the incredibly sad things that are coming to light because of this election, I think the most disappointing thing is that "they" think we are assholes. We just had eight years of the most embarrassing self destruction our "great" county has ever seen. We have a complete Jack ass in office on display for the world to see. Believe me it's not a secret, the whole world is laughing. And to top it off we are watching submissively as the elephants offer up more imbeciles to RUN OUR OUR COUNTRY!!! This is really an outrage. They aren't even trying to make it look good anymore. It is a sad state of affairs. At least give us an intellectual or a candidate that is not on a respirator and geritol. That is what they think of us. Sorry for the long ass comment M but christ, will they give us competition that is not a joke. Are we happy to at least get a democratic nod? F#@K NO! not when the country can't decide whether he is better than a half dead guy and Tina Fey. C'mon America.
