  1. Here are a few comments regarding your post, specifically the duality of views from conservatives regarding the same topic: speech of blacks; 1) Ms. Vilsack is a Democrat, who is supposed to be understanding and compassionate, but her comments really expose her as a true hypocrite.  (Hypocrisy or not, wanna bet any comments from a person like her will get a free pass from the media?) At least with the conservatives you understand right up front what you’re going to get; 2) she also slammed whole groups beside blacks, including Easterners and Southerners.  I would imagine that in his or her typical lifetime a person living on the East coast, especially NY city or Boston, has heard a few comments regarding their accent, but even money says they haven’t heard it nearly as often as the Southerner, nor in the same context.  The Southerner is derided for their accent AND their intelligence.  Actually, for their whole being-"ignorant, back woods, trailer trash hillbillies”.  Take a read of Jim Goad’s “Redneck Manifesto” for a long history and exposition of this subject.  So, to summarize, STFU Ms. Vilsack until you have something intelligent to say.

  4. Let’s face it: liberals simply can’t handle the truth.

  5. Do ‘’we’’ ever get our balls in an uproar over something
    important?  I do agree with Anthony-- how you speak
    does depend on the company.  I don’t think I ever used
    any “four letter” (ie: even ‘damn") in front of my Mom.....
    used four letters word with my Dad, but never “fuck” (All though he said it many times in Italian)...but yet among
    close friends (male or female) “fuck” is in ever other sentence. 

    However, I’m talking about “language” and not an “accent” (of sorts)........the black thing is an “accent” (of sorts)
    and is a good old ‘’flip-flop’’ that blacks use to impress
    whoever...........

    .....’’ RIGHT ON, MUTHA F--KA!”

  7. The only time I care about percieved “racial” remarks these days is when there is partisan hypocrisy involved. I don’t care one bit about what anyone says, because I can always choose to ignore them if I dislike their message. The problem is strictly confined to hypocritical actions revolving around the comments or person making them.

    Two months ago Bill Parcells (NFL head coach, Dallas Cowboys) made some remark regarding his team’s playbook indicating that they had what they called Jap Plays, i.e. surprise attack plays. Because Parcells is a popular as he is, the remarks were shurugged off and forgotten. Michael Irvin, ESPN analyst and black man, decided it was not a big deal and said so. Well, Irvin, what if he called them Jig Plays, i.e. where the player would attempt to steal / strip the ball from opposing players? Is it OK to infer that all blacks are thieves the same way you think it’s OK to infer that all Japanese people plot surprise attacks? Hypocrisy.

    The second part of your question revolves around partisan rhetoric, which I don’t buy into anyway. I believe in the war of ideas, and it really wouldn’t matter to me if someone like Hillary Clinton had a change of heart and became a hardcore pro-capitalist, I would get behind her because she would then be supporting the same ideas I support.

  8. The aspect to THK’s comment that I think important is not a partison one.  She said: ‘I don’t trust Ted Kennedy’.  I think that’s a reasonable opinion and I would love to ask her what has changed her mind (but she’d probably just tell me to Shove It!).  It certainly wasn’t a quick rethinking of Chappaquiddick.

  9. An anecdote from my college days may make some of these points even clearer.  I was standing with some classmates in a summer school French class, when a friend from regular term came up to me, threw his arms around me and started discussing the recent chess results from Bobby Fischer’s matches (dates this a bit, yes?).  After about five minutes he left, and my fellow class mates asked me what language we had been speaking.  I truthfully answered “English”, and was rather surprised they had to ask.  Since everyone involved was an Ivy League educated WASP, you can see that ethnicity and region had nothing to do with this.

  10. Uhhh, I believe it would be more accurate to describe the Poodle and the giglio of Teresa.
