Zandar's Thought Of The Day

How does Pat Buchanan continue to have a job at MSNBC when he writes idiotic, outright racist drivel like this?

Where the erosion is taking place is in white America, among working- and middle-class folks who voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries but took a chance with Obama in the fall. Now, every time some new incident erupts, these folks are being tarred.

Opposition to affirmative action is racist. Supporting the tea party gives aid and comfort to racists. Opposing health care puts you in league with folks who used racial slurs on Rep. John Lewis. To raise the issue of the New Black Panther Party is to play the race card.

One understand the bitterness of tea party folks who carry signs that read: "What difference does it make what this placard says. You'll call it racist anyway."

As the National Journal's Ron Brownstein has been reporting, white America is increasingly alienated and distrustful of all our major economic and political power centers -- the banks, big corporations, the government.

And, for the first time in our lifetimes, outside the South, white racial consciousness has visibly begun to rise. 

Poor White America, it's been so terribly victimized by those mean old black people for what, 400 years now?  If only we would stop electing so many black Presidents, race wouldn't be at the forefront of the political argument. White people I guess are going to have to stick together before the Man comes to take away their rights.

Or, to put it more succinctly, with President Malcolm Shabazz X there, who will finally stand up for white people in our system?

Ai-ya.  I need booze.
