Have Rights, not Dreams
We have not recently commented on Dr. Rice and Ray Artest as recent events may have demanded, but American
Digest called our attention to a thought-experiment proposed by Baldilocks
in a reference to James Taranto's recounting of
racist remarks made by people regarding conservative blacks, notably Dr. Condolezza Rice (isn't
the web complicated?) and her recent nomination as Secretary of State. The experiment being:
Simply consider why those blacks who have been accused of bad behavior or demonstrate questionable character do not have their "blackness" questioned, but those who are conservative and/or preach the virtues of hard work do.
The Boomer Bible contains a book in the Present Testament called "Ult. Joe's Message for the BROAD STREETERS." The bulk of which is on-line at BoomerBible.com starting with Chapter One (In it's entirety in the hard copy). During the summer, RFLaird did take credit for a prophecy made back in 1991 being fulfilled in the words of Bill Cosby -- a wonder to behold.
Now, the Chain Gang cannot really add anything further to what was written down in BROAD STREETERS way back in 1991, but we do wonder that no black reviewer or commentator has ever said a word about this robust treatment of a topic that the appoinment of Dr. Rice seems to bring to the forefront. Perhaps now, with the internet and the new voices it brings, would be a good time.
NOTE: in clicking around the above links we did become aware of a situation regarding Manute Bol and the very hard times he has hit upon. Please read this (Source Archive) and if you are able to help in some way, please do so. You can read an update HERE (Source Archive).
