DID "DAY BY DAY" JUST JUMP THE SHARK?
Ann C.: Maybe "The Blacksâ„¢" don't really care one way or the other.
You are rightly criticizing Hillary Clinton for apparently having a worldview that we blacks are all stupid and practice groupthink. Then you let loose with your musings on how "The Blacksâ„¢" aren't complaining. Then some other moron posts that her experience with "The Blacksâ„¢" is that they were a bunch of Black Panther and types with really bad English who require white people to speak similar bad English.(Incidentally, Angela Davis, H. Rap Brown, Bobby Seale, and Huey Newton were all extremely eloquent, each having an impeccable command of the English language).
I think that a couple of you people have a lot more in common with Hillary Clinton than you realize. You all have the same crappy worldview of "The Blacksâ„¢".
I thought Hillary was kind of silly and embarassing, and I think that this cartoon is making exactly that point. She was silly and embarassing. I am always taken aback by any display of blackface because it was one of the finest tools in solidifying stereotypes of blacks that has ever been invented. But its use in this column was meant to make a clever statement. Period.
I guarantee you that we will see white people from both parties arhythmically tapping their feet and clapping their hands to gospel in churches filled with "The Blacksâ„¢" all through this campaign. That will be equally as painful to watch. But "The Blacksâ„¢" won't hold it against them.
