A lot of white people who think they are liberal and broad minded have that underlying discomfort with black leadership or underlying suspicion that we are not up to the job or are in over our heads in positions of responsibility...
DUmbshit rury pulls a "blind squirrel" moment out of s/h/it's ass, stumbling upon something demonstrably true...
...That is what is happening to President Barack Obama...
...and promptly uses uses it to jab s/h/it's eye out.
...I have worked in a library and had that experience in a most telling way. A patron would come to the reference desk and ask a question. When the query was directed to me, some member of the general public would chime in an answer the question FOR ME. They never did that to a white staff member...
They didn't do this because of the color of your skin. They did it because you aren't as good at pretending to be a normal human being and hiding the fact that you're barely capable of breathing on your own without coaching, as you think you are.
...I had to put them in their place several times and say, " I will answer the question, thank you."...
...and, of course you can't help yourself; you have to jump right in and prove these folks dead-on in their assessment.
...And I have had supervisors express surprise at my vocabulary,even though I have a Masters in Journalism...
Yeah; supervisors tend to get concerned when you go on long, obscenity-laced rants, triggered merely by patrons asking the location of the latest issue of the
Wall Street Journal, a copy of Rush Limbaugh's
See I Told You So, or Jonah Goldberg's
Liberal Fascism.
...President Obama has been subject to more sharp, often unfair criticism than any president before him, someone is always nipping at his heels from the left and the right and second- guessing him...
Because, of course it's unfair that the pResident who spent/squandered/embezzled (pick your verb) more money than not just ANY other, but EVERY OTHER president before him, and has precisely NOTHING to show for the expenditure; who is the first pResident of whom a legitimate case for the application of TREASON charges can be made, should be held to the same standard as the 43 prior - melanin-deficient - presidents before him.
