Obama's Hard Row


I swore off blogging when I took up tweeting, but the shit that's going on around Obama's attempts to reform our broke(n)-ass health care "system" is, as Bertice Berry once (probably more than that) said, making me want to move my neck.

On CNN tonight: a protester at a Washington "rally" carrying a sign reading "Obama Bin Lyin." The allusion is obvious and the implications - both of them - are ignorant.

More on this later, but it boggles my mind how afraid people seem to be of having a Black man as President. That's not all there is to these anti-Obama protests and sentiments, but so much of it is so blatantly racialized that it would be naïve not to call it what it is.
