Racism again? Sarah knows all!
For someone who never finished college and doesn’t read, it’s always interesting to listen to Ms. Palin. Her defense of Dr. Laura (who I do know from many years ago) with regard to using the word “nigger” is disgusting.
Here we are again, two white women who think they know racism. Interesting. It’s like me acting like I know what it’s like to be a woman and know about childbirth. My wife would kick my ass and with all rights to do that.
How arrogant for these women to act like Dr. Laura (doctor in physiology, not psychology) knows what it’s like to live in brown or black skin and have people treat you with disrespect. For centuries, racism has been part of white America. Now that people of color have a little power, she accuses us of having a chip on our shoulder.
Maybe we carry ourselves with pride because we’ve overcome so much and then we have moments like this. We were hunted, enslaved in our own land. Our children were taken and sent to boarding schools that stripped them of our beliefs and culture. And some kids even died as part of the experience.
We were taught that we were inferior, not allowed to vote even though we fought heroically in two world wars. My wife who is Irish would not have been able to be married to me in Nevada because until 1967, with the passage of the Love Act, people from different faces were not allowed to marry.
Yeah, we might be a little touchy. But in reality, my kids are more concerned with the next new game coming out than asking me, “Dad, what do I do when they call me a nigger or red skin?” Or “Dad, my teacher says we are not as smart as white kids…is that true and what do i say?”
Dr. Laura aka "Dr. Yuck"
Yeah ,there might be some people who don’t like white people for what has been done to them. But they would be the Sarah Palins of the world. The “Dr.Yucks” … Laura’s of the world.
But let us not forget that there are plenty of warm human and loving white folk who would find the Palins and Dr. Laura’s disgusting for using the nigger word for their own arrogant purposes. Dr. Laura is quitting, thank God!
Now, how do we get Ms Palin to do the same?!
Does anyone have any ideas? We have too many hate-mongers in the world.
