Methinks whitey doth protest too much

Remember the other day I commented about racism in the South? I lived in and around Atlanta, and DeKalb County (they pronounce it "deh-CAB"--no "L") is one of the counties that comprise the metro area.

Now we have some white guy saying "I learned about slavery in history" when all he really needed to do was fucking look around. They got monuments to the "noble ideas of the South," most of which included the notion that one man could be owned by another. Let's not forget to mention that the owning men were white, like this particular journalist, and the owned men were Obama's color. Slater also says: "Racism is a very sensitive subject, and I don’t like being associated with it." Huh. Too bad. I say get over it. Rise above it if you can. But if the shoe fits ...

Just don't go on about how offended you are because a notable former president (and other perhaps equally notable personages) thinks you are the racist you are, and isn't afraid to say it. Apparently in this new world it's appropriate to show such utter disrespect to a sitting president. And if you can't somehow keep a civil tongue (yeah, Obama: he's the ultimate uppity n*****) it's not racism--it's ideology?

I said it before: Don't even try to bullshit me. I know the pejorative definition of MARTA (the Metropolitan Atlanta Transit Authority) it's "moving Africans rapidly through Atlanta." If you don't want to be thought a racist, then shut your fucking mouth.

A good time to start would be now.
