Mooch On Loose

The Obamas talked with People magazine about dealing with their “own racist experiences,” as the magazine described.

Michelle Obama told one story that recently took place, even as she was first lady of the United States.

“I tell this story – I mean, even as the first lady – during that wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf. Because she didn’t see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her. Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isn’t anything new,”

Michelle Obama is 5’11” tall.

The nerve of those racist “little people”! Don’t you know she’s above all that?



If this is the kind of thing that makes people feel racism is alive and deeply embedded in our culture, we’re doomed. A simple neighborly request, but they see it as racism. Not even height-ism.

From my own experience, this fails the smell test even worse than the BS harvest from her White House vegetable garden. About 4 lifetimes ago I was working the night shift in a 24 hour grocery store in a swanky community in northern NJ. Every once in a while, former President Richard Nixon, who lived in the area, felt the need to be a bit common and would bop over to the store to pick up a couple things. Just like a regular guy. At 1am. Except not really. The big black limousine would pull up in front of the store, along with a Suburban or two of MIB, who would sweep the store to make sure there were no Communists or Democrats hiding in any of the boxes of stuff we were putting up on the shelves. Or even any other customers. Then, while the doors were guarded, one or two of them would stand at the top and bottom of the aisle, while the man himself came down pushing a shopping cart (hand selected for cleanliness and anti-wobble) , with another black suit in sunglasses there to actually put the items he pointed to in the basket. When they were done, they’d proceed to the checkout, where our cashier Charlie would ring them up. And the receipt, after the suites scrutinized it for accuracy, went to the office, and a bill would be mailed. He was the only customer we ever had who paid on account.

I remember when Michelle had her “in disguise” trip to the store a couple years ago. I find it impossible to believe that any “person” she “interacted with” wasn’t pre-screened and trained in the small role they were to play in her little drama piece. Because, sadly, that’s the way it has to be. Not because the President (or even a former President) and his First Lady are so high and mighty and pretentious. Because security. And not taking stupid chances.



But it’s far far worse for Barry. My God, he’s treated like a lacky, even when he’s in formal attire. That poor man, dem YTs think he’s a lawn jockey, and tries to gibs him their horses.

“There’s no black male my age, who’s a professional, who hasn’t come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn’t hand them their car keys,” said the president, adding that, yes, it had happened to him.

...

“The small irritations or indignities that we experience are nothing compared to what a previous generation experienced,” President Obama said. “It’s one thing for me to be mistaken for a waiter at a gala. It’s another thing for my son to be mistaken for a robber and to be handcuffed, or worse, if he happens to be walking down the street and is dressed the way teenagers dress.”

His son. His son? Is Obobo so lost in Black Dreamland that now he thinks he’s got Jewels In The Crown*?

And doncha just love the “walking down the street, dressed as a teen”, with the “or worse”? What a well played combination racial reference to both Michael and Trayvon, Obongo’s other sons.

Yup, racism is with us, everywhere.

* this may have been a local thing, but having children with several baby mamas used to be called having jewels in the crown. These days, riding around with that crown air freshener thing on you dashboard is, I think, showing you belong to the Latin Kings street gang. But hey, what do I know? It’s probably just a showy air freshener and I’m a raycis.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
