Reflections

It appears that Pam Spaulding has ruffled a few feathers by wondering why so many “progressive” bloggers have been silent on the Jena Six. What gets me is that even though Pam went out of her way to make it clear that she isn’t trying to dictate what other’s should blog about and that she isn’t accusing every blogger that hasn’t written on the Jena Six of being racist, people are still accusing her of…trying to dictate what people blog about and calling them racists!

I’ve been watching the news all day, and I’ve yet to see a single mention of incidents like the white dude that pulled a shotgun on a bunch of black people in Jena, LA, resulting in the black folks getting charged with theft for wrestling the gun away, while the gun-holder got off scott free.

And yet, I’ve seen numerous Jena residents on TV try to convince me that there is no racism in Jena. In fact, Jena, LA., is the epitome of racial solidarity. How do we know this? There are black folks on the football team!

Nancy Grace is annoying. I don’t care what she says; she’s annoying.

Tell me something good...

  2. I got “told off” by white Americans who said I should fix my own country before daring to comment on the USA.
