NPR Weekend Edition Saturday, June 7, 2008 · Barack Obama's presidential candidacy is evidence that the United States has made significant strides in race relations, according to Doudou Diene, a U.N. official who reports on contemporary forms of racism. But Diene tells Scott Simon that the resegregation of American cities and the poor state of public education remain key areas of concern.

Sit down Anti-Obama racists
Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination fair and square but because what Father Pfleger
said appears to be true for all racist whites (those who don't like Barack because he is
black) they have decided to further divide the Democratic party by encouraging in-name-only
Democrats to vote Republican.
Understand this: those hooligans weren't Democrats in the first place. They probably don't
even understand the electoral process. Illiterate inbreds.
However, Barack shall not be moved and neither will his very solid base of educated
peoples--who are both Red and Blue.
Hey, I can say what I want. I'm not running for president. I can say exactly what is on my
mind.
Those who are against Obama are against college tax credits (they can't read anyway) and
other middle to low income tax credits that will put more money into their pocket. They are
against an improved GI bill too. I know McCain is.
They will still cut their noses to spite their faces.
The right to vote at all should be rescinded from any racist. (who won't vote for Obama
because he is black)
If you don't like his personality, his politics, where he lives and want to waste your vote
on peripherals, fine. It's not illegal to be stupid, however, they should get half a vote
because I don't want to be subjected to their stupidity via another selfish republican
administration.
They have no opportunities for the little people to pull themselves up from their
bootstraps. Things have changed. Under their administration, if you are not big business or
have connections, you can't get anywhere. They close the business world to the small
businessman by not opening up the bidding process to their contracts.
So the only reason most white folk don't want Obama in office is because of his race.
Those types of people suck and they should be shipped out of America this instant.
Now you go back to where you came from!

So You Think You Can Dance!
Season four is off the chain! I guess it matters that I missed all of the other previous seasons but I made it a point to not miss this one.
Every since I heard that this show would be airing, I was excited about it. I went to dance classes as a little girl and although I am no longer or really ever was in dancer shape, (hmmm, I can step though)I can still appreciate all that goes into telling a story with your body.
Dance is about expression--either your thoughts and feelings or another person.
I love the judges and the choreography is fantastic.
The whole show is so energizing and the contestants are ultra talented.
I know some of you out there go secretly en point or flex an arm or foot or sit up a little bit straighter when the theme music comes on. I know you do.

McCain is insane in the membrane!
Sen. McCain is insane in the membrane.
All of a sudden, we need to "fix" social security because it is "broken."
These comments were made in florida Thursday afternoon.
Most of the residents of South Florida are well off. Some of this country's most wealthy have found a home in the Sunshine State.
They don't really care about Social Security fixing.
I hope it matters that McCain was talking to the Florida Press Assn. I hope they had their thinking caps on.
Funding the war in Iraq and its subsequent months of activity is where most of the Social Security trust fund has been spent.
Was it time to fix Social Security when you people in charge of this said fund, were busy spending it on your other woman--Iraq?
Or any place else other than this red, white and blue soil, it seems.
Take care of home first. I would never vote for Sen. McCain. He is only puppeting the failed policies of recent years.
I guess he doesn't realize that many of those people he addressed Thursday have money woes of one type or another or have family members borrowing from them because of money woes/failed current policies.
Yeah, I said it. Family members will borrow from you if you have and they have not.

Who do you think should make the Obama selection committee cut?
(It's obvious who I'd like to endorse.)
Barack Obama and Colin Powell would be an unstoppable team
Posted on March 13, 2008 by Reading on Walden Bookstore
There are so many positives in favor of Barack Obama choosing Colin
Powell as his Vice Presidential running mate, and so few negatives,
that it just makes sense. The team of Obama and Powell would be “unstoppable,” to paraphrase a former President whose wife happens to be in contention for the 2008 Democratic nomination.
The Obama/Powell team would breeze to victory in the November general election. But should Obama name Powell as his choice prior to the general election, it would serve to make the candidacy of Hillary Clinton irrelevant.
