Rhondacoca,

I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time at work. I am emotionally at a place where people like that fill me with glee and I crack up in silence. As long as they don't say anything directly to you, simply ignore them as if you don't even hear them. Most likely they will never say anything to you. They are trying to bait you so don't fall for it. When they see they have failed they will stop. teacher suggested you contact your HR department. I leave that choice to you depending

on the severity of what is going on. Everything will be alright and

you will be much stronger for enduring it.

truthseeker,

that 2nd link said it ALL!

Most of the white women who are going through their own form of withdrawal are what we call in the south Ms. Ann.

You all know her, she might be different in the north, but the charcteristics are usually the same, the air of entitlement and priviledge, and their condescending attitude toward the lesser humans among them, with their benevolence towards others that goes only so far IF it doesn't impede on their selfish lives, in essence any leftovers after they are finished. And don't you dare disagree with them on any issue because Ms. Ann knows best, as long as you stay in your place.

This is nothing new. Some of these women actually believe by allowing us, in this case Barack Obama to compete, they are enlightened, BUT, once the game is at an end we are suppose to lose and let them have their perceived and expected and most times unearned rewards. When that doesn't happen, the results are what you are seeing from these women: anger, disbelief that those people (us) didn't know or stay in our place. How dare we.

Nothing new, but maybe new to some of you who have never experienced it in such outward and upfront displays. Thus, the woman's outburst the other day when she could not understand how Black folks were voting for Barack Obama because we did not understand what we were doing and as a result should not be allowed to vote.

There it is.

Rhondacoca,

Let me guess? Those dumb heifers are from Staten Island too? There is a special breed of idiocacy amongst those fools. I had the pleasure of living there for awile, and what I learned is if it aint in the post or on the cover of the Enquirer they don't get it. You saw Jungle Fever I'm sure...doesn't Annabella character remind you of most of those unedumacated ( yeah they went to a school but not to learn) NYc Italian American women?

They are just so ignorant that unless we are just drinking together or something, I avoid any and all subjects of substance. Intellectualism is not what alot of those women get exposed to. So sad...

What I cannot take is people acting as if we came a long way because of Barack. I am proud of Barack more than anybody but I think that we are jumping ahead with those proclaimations. Barack's nomination win is one for the history books like so many other milestones in American history. Nonetheless, I feel that this primary season and then this election has made overt previously covert racial tensions.

I actually believe that I previously gave the American people more credit than they deserved.

::

We can't heal what we can't see. I've said before that this primary season has picked all the nation's scabs and revealed bruises many people didn't even know we had.

Barack's nomination does prove we've come a long way.

Yes, we have a long way to go.

Know hope.

Yea, the people at my job don't even want me there. They claim
that I am there because I was "put" there. When I get clients and prosper, they try and sabotage me. I already told them about themselves. I used to be like Obama with them. This latest issue just proves how ignorant and prejudice they are.

It seems to be a slogan going

around with Clinton supporters...that whole O.J. thing. Thats simply shocking! The fact that they would even repeat it says so much about their mentalities.

It speaks even more about the kind of campaign Clinton lead for the past 15 months.

Ferraro is presumptious. She reminds me of all the older white women that I had to go to church with when I was young. She also fits the exact description:

1. From New York

2. Italian American

3. from a family of Reagan Democrats

4. Catholic

I know her better than the back of my hand. My mother and I were just talking about this the other day. It ain't pretty.

Yea Maya Angelou is delusional.

What Tami Said has a terrifc Post:

"The best paragraph I've read on the Web today..."

Ottermatic (who has a super-cool blog graphic and motto), was pondering the sexism thrown at Michelle Obama and, in the process, co-signed with another blogger who is ready to ride with the First Lady-to-be:

What I really want to say right now, though, is that I am with Cheryl Lynn when it comes to Michelle Obama: “‘Chelle could call me at two o’clock in the morning and ask me to roll on a bitch and I would calmly pull out my sneakers and Vaseline.”*

Have no idea what he said, but it's obvious Clyburn wasn't pleased.

"I told you...I 'thought' I heard a different tone in Clyburn on Bev Smith's show. And finding out that Bubba cussed him out?"

Does anyone know what Bill Clinton actually said to James Clyburn?

PS CPL,

How can they call anyone out on it, when the question would automatically be raised about WHY her supporters ' went there'.

You know it, and I know it.

And folks STILL don't want to admit the racebaiting sundae that she's been building since Billy Shaheen.

After all, it's been in 'our imagination'.

How do we know that when Clyburn told the KKKLintons to dial back their rhetoric, they didn't plan to deluge him with racist phone calls if he didn't give his superdelegate vote to the Borg Queen?

Their silence and foot-dragging in denouncing incidents like this speaks VOLUMES...

I told you...I 'thought' I heard a different tone in Clyburn on Bev Smith's show. And finding out that Bubba cussed him out?

HELL NO.

Clyburn's not having ANY OF IT.

Rep. Charlie Rangel put the heat on HRC to bow down to Obie. He was p-o'd about Hill's gracelessness Tues night. Might Rangel catch some hell for recruiting members of his Party today in a unified show of support for Obie. Rangel's no punk, he has been on this planet and in Congress for ages AND he's a New Yorker. He ain't scurred. LOL

HRC's sense of entitlement extended to "her voters." They're not beholden to her and most of them will jump over to Obama's ship despite their current smack talking.

I wonder how many of "her voters" will help pay off her campaign debt. Oh, I forgot - many of them earn less than $50k a year and can't afford to put their money where their mouths are. $5 from each of her 18M supporters should do the trick!

The Obama campaign may urge/encourage his supporters to finance her debt. The thought is cringe worthy. I believe in unity but not paying off someone else's debt. The Clintons s/b able to pay it off themselves with the take from a few of Bill's speeches.

"For everyone who has commented on black people who are members of the anti-black hate filled Republican party I would like to point out that when the race issue comes to light the Democratic party, at least a portion, a very vocal portion still seem to carry on those Dixiecrat feelings."

Dixiecrat? Well, I guess that's true to an extent, but let's not fool ourselves. A whole lot of the whites we're talking about here are liberal, pro-abortion, anti-war, pro-gay marriage, and...anti-black. There are also some who didn't think they were anti-black, and probably found the idea of a black man winning the Democratic nomination for President very pleasant- until it began to look as if it might actually happen.

Rhonda, you need to write a letter to your HR dept and allude that you don't think this is an appropriate discussion for the work place and it is making you feel unsafe.

O is meeting with hillbilly tonight.I hope he doesn't give her shit. I think the only way she is going to campaign for him is under the threat of her ass being shunned by her colleagues. Because the clinton empire has crumbled, and she is scrambling to hold on to crumbs of power. There is no way they will be vetted because bill is a lobbyist for foreign countries.Her brothers sold presidential pardons & she is currently involved in a campaign finance fraud lawsuit. She already knows that. She probably hates him all the more because he is ethical.

Maya Angelo was on CNN talking about why she loves hillbilly. She is elderly now. Pretty sad.

Yes, it absolutely is the Clinton's fault. They stirred, then fed this beast.

And as I type this, Hilary Rosen is on Larry King still talking about Hillary voters as "her voters". They are not helping this situation by differentiating Democrats when the primary is over!!

The primary is over Hilary, there are no Hillary voters anymore! To continue to invoke her in those terms feeds division.

Larry King's reporting Barack and Hillary are meeting tonight.

I believe that James Clyburn had to endure what he did is a signal to the Obama campaign.

We will not be defeated...but we know the journey is not over.

This is my tribute to the 77 yr old Virgie in Lexington, Ky who I look forward to working with in the General Election.

Rhondacoca,

Someone at your job really compared Obama's primary win to OJ getting off? I know I shouldn't use profanity, but that is fucked up. I'm sorry you have to deal with such people.

Rhonda:

"I actually believe that I previously gave the American people more credit than they deserved."

I have recently come to that conclusion myself (before this primary season), isn't it just a yucky feeling.

It would be great if we had really progressed. But don't be to down about this, they will except this eventually too, time demands so.
