Don't know if it answers the specific question you asked, but it addresses it. Your response to that should be interesting.<br /><br />And btw, I agree that keeping the races feeling unfriendly toward one another is the modus operandi of the top tier. This strategy is as old as slavery, when white peasants aka indentured servants were misled to believing they could be the mastah one day. <br /><br />One of my cyber friends, Macon D, who is white, concluded long before Tim Wise did that most whites are just the equivalent of house Negros, with as little change of ever becoming rich. <br /><br />I don't know if I'll ever understand why so many billionaires in power are so stingy. It's not like they can spend all their money in their lifetime or their grandkids either.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-12153840961375940372010-04-20T11:40:59.030-04:002010-04-20T11:40:59.030-04:00Sista Kit!

But it was well worth the trip.<br /><br />Funy and clever piece.<br /><br />I liked this part: <br />"Then he winked at me, and I knew in an instant he was an infiltrator too. Jamal don't smoke weed, so I wondered what his agenda was. I asked him."<br /><br />"an infiltrator" Ahhhhhh! <br /><br />Nah. But look.<br /><br />It's not that I'm suggesting we simply ignore race.<br /><br />Not by any means.<br /><br />I'm the blackest man on the planet. I'm into celebrating race.<br /><br />I'm suggesting we focus on the concerted media effort to make us think ONLY RACE when it comes to political movements like the Tea Party, that challenge the political paradigm.<br /><br />Like I said. <br /><br />Must we play the George Jefferson to their Archie Bunker?<br /><br />Doesn't it seem a little "scripted" to you?<br /><br />Fanatical White Racist Government Skeptics vs. Leary Mistrustful Cynical Black Government Dependents?<br /><br />I'm of the opinion race has been used by a very tiny elite to pull the okey doke on blacks and whites alike.<br /><br />That wasn't a "Bailout".<br /><br />That was rip off.<br /><br />The fact is a tiny little lobby like AIPAC has 50 times more impact on this government than the Tea Party could hope to have.<br /><br />Yet American "liberals" and Negros who still call themselves "Democrats" ... got their collective lips poked out at angry unemployed white folks who happen to be asking the government some pretty tough questions.Denmark Veseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15607719381212214374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-88878763852931179982010-04-20T10:23:01.552-04:002010-04-20T10:23:01.552-04:00Sagacious, Lol, I knew you'd enjoy this. Glad ...<b>Sagacious</b>, Lol, I knew you'd enjoy this. Glad you caught it.<br /><br /><b>TLS</b>, Thank you very much, I appreciate that. Except for the occasional troll (one that deleted from about 3:30 AM today with the initials CF, who loves to leave his thinly disguised hate on black blogs), I enjoy discussions and debates with readers and other bloggers, even when we don't agree. Without feedback, which happens once in awhile, I wonder if I'm just talking to myself, ya know? *chuckling*<br /><br />About what you said... yeah, I'd love to see Rush choke on seeing blacks and whites uniting. That would make my day. Who would his new enemy be then? One has to wonder. Lol!<br /><br />And you are so right about the GOP and fake news spreading fear and hate among the proletarian masses so they'll fight among each other rather those who keep our necks under their boots. The Dems are slick too, but the GOP are the worst offenders. As they say, we have the best democracy that money can buy.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-51017639162784364702010-04-20T09:46:52.073-04:002010-04-20T09:46:52.073-04:00Brilliant!

And I just want you to know I don't post here is not because you're not a great blogger; it's because I have limited time and am interested in reading so many that I rarely have time to comment.<br /><br />Favorite comment on this one is the one about Rush having a breakdown. The absolutely most frightening thing that could happen to Republicans is for poor whites and poor blacks to join forces. Fueling the flames of white fear of blacks has been a cornerstone of Republican strategy. I long for the day when all the poor and working class unite in opposition to the policies of the elite. But, please God, let's have a little more behind us than Tea Party rhetoric!TLSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-15051120169784117992010-04-19T22:51:54.765-04:002010-04-19T22:51:54.765-04:00Excellent Kit.

We don't always agree with each other, but I think we challenge each other in a healthy way.<br /><br />Denmark is on to something about the value of ignoring race and looking at <i>some</i> of the issues the Tea Party brings. A lot of it is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/HillbillyReport#p/u/5/pAlkoaMYkOc" rel="nofollow">just plain nuts</a>, which the video link by James Pence (a very astute hillbilly) clearly outlines, but as with everyone and everything, not all of should be dismissed. It's a movement begging for leadership, and the GOP is dying to co-opt them.<br /><br />Were blacks to co-opt this movement first, it could theoretically drive out the haters and the fruitcakes. I can picture Rush Limbaugh having a nervous breakdown now. The thing is, who wants to be the first to join? Not I, I ain't got the fortitude.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-58742693306230637472010-04-19T07:20:34.474-04:002010-04-19T07:20:34.474-04:00LOL--NUT, you nailed it.LOL--NUT, you nailed it.Kellybellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11186473285513898735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-75941576886044408572010-04-18T23:52:02.081-04:002010-04-18T23:52:02.081-04:00@ Oso - Nah mange...

You're like America, and the rest of us are out of the way, undeveloped nations.<br /><br />*chuckling*<br /><br />I like your response. It's funny. You asked, <i>"How can the US help the world heal and improve its relationships with other citizens of the world?"</i><br /><br />I could have made a joke, but that's a too serious a question. Instead I just wrote a post to answer it.<br /><br />It's titled, <i>"The Dilemma of Being Part Of The Giant, Mutant, Siamese Thing"</i><br /><br />Lately I'm trying a few new things, sharing my work with other bloggers to reach, teach and learn from different audiences.

Just read your profile and you're pretty funny yourself: "If a tree falls in a forest and it lands on sarah palin would it matter?"<br /><br />*still chuckling*<br /><br /><b>BGIM</b>, You won't believe this, but I thought of you yesterday and KNEW this post would (physically) hurt you. So sorry! Glad you're recovering from surgery, though.<br /><br />About this other topic... I get equal play from both genders in the comment section, but I've long felt that if folks thought Kit (me) was a guy instead of a lady, this area would be a helluva lot more active, again, from both genders. This should be true for any sista who ventures beyond blogging beyond relationships and parenting, but it isn't.<br /><br />Surprisingly, I think the key to resolving that problem lays at the feet of slightly more women than men, and the cause may be that the majority of us never played team sports.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-42512164767753984402010-04-18T12:12:53.827-04:002010-04-18T12:12:53.827-04:00Hello Buck.

I'm the blackest man on the internet.<br /><br />Welcome to the Tea Party.<br /><br />Glad to see you all were able get beyond the Group Identity politics of the Plantation Media system.<br /><br />They invested much in keeping us apart didn't they?<br /><br />Well Look. While we are all together ... later for the Confederate Flags and whether you like black people or not. <br /><br />I got enough friends and self-esteem, I don't particularly need to be "liked" or "accepted" by white folks ... no offense.<br /><br />But if we could pool our collective political clout to pay off our mortgages instead of giving banks Billions for executive bonuses we've got a good reason to make this thing do what it do.<br /><br />Feel me?<br /><br />Good.<br /><br />Now. Since I'm obviously the flyest cat in The Teap Party movement I nominate myself for President.<br /><br />Buck ... you my chief of staff. <br /><br />I want to set up a press conference. We want a national referendum on the War in Afghanistan.<br /><br />It's costing this country $130 Million per day.<br /><br />We want that money spent on manufacturing jobs in the south and midwest.<br /><br />Becky. I want you to draft a response to this charade called "National Health Care Insurance".<br /><br />We want those billions spent on a healthy food system and prevention instead of funneling billions to drug companies to treat disease.<br /><br />Sista Kit. I want you to focus on Foreign Policy.

I loved it and I swear sometimes you see these fools at the tea gatherings and I do wonder if there is something else going on. <br /><br />I do think you are right though that ladies in the blogosphere do not get the same love the men do. Unless we are talking about relationships, and maybe 1-2 other issues otherwise we are not heard.

This ain't exactly a blog one can pigeon hole, ya know? Could be a lot of things, including me being a woman; we can deny it all we want, but brothas still get shown a little more blogger love and latitude by commenters. Yeah, I said it; if it don't apply to you, don't sweat it, lol.<br /><br />On the other hand, one cyberfriend wrote and asked if I really did go to a Tea Party with the Bloods. *chuckling again* The answer to that is no.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-39652021633535347642010-04-18T01:38:58.036-04:002010-04-18T01:38:58.036-04:00My favorite line: "I followed them to their c...My favorite line: "I followed them to their car, and to be perfectly honest, I never rode in a pickup with a Confederate flag before.
