A fresh look at the topic of Race, Wall Street, McCain and Rush. You can read this view @http://theharveyjournal.blogspot.com/ Take a look at this blog and tell me what you think here and there.
M C, I have been a witness to the last half of the 20th century. I sat in my grandmother's lap and listen to her stories of the first half of the 20th century. I took in all of my experiences and now am trying to make sense out of the life that we have all lived.
"I took in all of my experiences and now am trying to make sense out of the life that we have all lived. "
So far, yet almost destroyed, and as you know there is a huge push to not allow any more "progress" to be made, not just for AAs, but for any ordinary citizen.
Ok, Usually I won't leave Gather to look at a blog, I prefer the voices of ordinary folks I find on Gather. I will go look.
Michael. I have been shocked at the turn the so called "liberal" press has taken beginning about 1 week after the inauguration, in particular Newsweek magazine.
We cannot give up.
Without exception EVRY AM talk radio conservative is blastin anti-Obama drivel every day, all day. Outright lies and nasty insinuations.
And we must let President Obama know we support him.
PS I did ogo read the blog. Congratulations, and contray to Mr. Holden's statement, not all of us are chicken.
Michael you are definitely a talented writer. You have written about things and feelings that once again are foreign to me. You have written about prejudices that people do not know that they have. You are telling the world that all of us are racists to some extent and because of this we are viewing our President in a different light than any other president.
I don't know how to respond to this. Our president has inherited a mess that only a miracle can straighten out and I believe in miracles, but Mr. Obama is going to catch the flack because he is the one in the hot seat right now. If it were the white canidate that had been elected it would all fall on him, but he wasn't elected and now because we have a black president you are saying we are blaming him more than we would blame a white president. I hope not.
I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, he's not very nice, but it seems politics isn't very nice. The republican party doesn't seem to have any leaders right now. Their last appempts at winning an election were embarrassing.
Michael, I'm an American too and Mr. Obama is my President too. I don't have a 401K plan to lose but a lot of people do and they are mad because most of it is gone. Who can they blame? The one who is in the hot seat right now.....
Nice article Michael. God Bless America, despite ourselves.
Excellent article! Thank you for a thoughtful morning. I usually avoid political writings but your's always, always make me think. I would never have connected the downward slide of the stock market in that vein, for that reason. You have lived a very full life, my friend.
I am sorry, I misunderstood your question re: Rap on Race --I just read the article and it is great. I took your question quite literally and independent from your article. Sorry!!
I enjoyed the familial interjection and the way personal stories tie things together. I will be more open in the future and better prepared.
