Even Darla "got it" and agreed with me on take on Michelle vs. Ann. I'm not here for my health. I'm here for the edification and the health of others.
As much as folks want to criticize the President and his wife, they cannot do it, without the question of racism being the motivation because Barack and Michelle Obama are the very first, and there is nothing to compare it to. Period. I'm so glad you get it.
I absolutely hate George Bush and Dick Cheney, but it has nothing to do with color of their skin. That's not who I am. It's pure ideology. I hate Condie Rice. Has nothing to do with the color of her skin. It's pure ideology and her politics. I hate Allen West. And it has everything to do with the color of his skin, which he rejects, in addition to his politics.
Unless folks have normal, healthy relations with folks of a different race, any criticism leveled at a member of that race, has to be seen through the prism of racism. Period.
Thanks, Gator.
