Rachel Maddow is my liberal dreamboat. :wub:

MSNBC is good for only two things:

1) Laughing at Chris Matthews' giant fat head
2) Rachel Maddow's smile :wub:

Not sure I've ever seen Madcow smile.  She's a bit too butch for my likings anyway.

What is your agenda?

Maximizing my chances for strange pussy. I have a very clear and well established track record on this.

I'm pretty sure he means when you're posting on Languish.

My agenda anti-racist.  What would you call someone who opposes that agenda?

your agenda is trolling to dispell your ennui

Spending time on Languish would seem to have a ratehr low chance of success to further your agenda... :hmm:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think you missed the point.  You won't find strange pussy, here.

If we are going to get that ridiculous I guess nobody is white.

You don't even need to be ridiculous at all.  People are "white" when they say they are "white," just like identifying all the other "races."

"Race" is a social/identity issue, not a biological one.  Biology says we are all brown.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Maybe you should just get your glasses cleaned.  Then everything won't be so brown.

I am not so sure about that.  Weren't the Rodney King beating cops Latinos?  The anger will get focussed on the legal system which does not take the death of black people as crimes or something.  But I think most reasonable people will be satisfied with an investigation that suits the severity of the situation.
Yeah.  I don't get the race angle on this case from Zimmerman's perspective.  But I do think the investigation as far as I can see was a sham that reeks of the worst of Southern justice.  The justifications afterwards seem, as an Economist blogger put it, 21st century race-baiting.  Any time a black person mentions the word 'black', 'skin' or anything similar and there are cries of outrage by some that they're trying to turn something into a racial issue while provoking and stoking white resentment for their broadcast or political needs.  The degree that race is involved - with the exception of the investigation - seems to me to be the extraordinary way that any mention of racism, or race, is seen as 'playing the race card' and that that's somehow as bad as racism itself.

I agree though I think an investigation that is sufficient to a dead, unarmed child would suffice.

The world would be a much better place if people spent less time trying to divide others according to rather arbitrary criteria such as race.
