WTH Did She Just Say?!?!

***Hat Tip to my brother over at Electronic Village***

In my Sunday internet travels I came across this video and it immediately pissed me off. Now, in this video an older Caucasian lady calls Barack Obama an "inadequate black male"! Wow! I may be wrong but how would she know he was inadequate unless she "Knew" him? I mean "Knew" him in the biblical sense of the word! If she doesn't "Know" him than why would she even go there?? But actually that is not what pissed me off, even though her comment was insulting, rude, degrading, racist, petty and just plain ASININE! What really pissed me off was at about 23 seconds into the video she said, "for an inadequate black male who would not have been running had it not been a white woman that was running for President". What the hell does that mean? It sounds to me like she thinks that a white woman is "entitled" to run and a black male is not! Obama is again getting flack and has ultimately resigned from and cut all ties with his church for comments that Father Michael Pfleger made at Trinity United Church last week about white entitlement but isn't that what this woman just said?!?!

**For the record, I don't believe that politics should be discussed across a pulpit. The pulpit should be for the building up, teaching, preaching, nurturing and edifying of people seeking the word of God!**

You know what else pissed me off?? Well at about 1:13 seconds in to this video this woman, Harriet Christian says, "I came here for the vote of every American"...
Well I don't know about the rest of you but she sure doesn't speak for me! And yes Hillary did win Puerto Rico BUT I think Harriet Christian missed the memo that said Obama has 2070 delegates and Clinton has 1915 delegates. Whether the Democratic National Committee decided the fate of Florida and Michigan delegates or not Obama was STILL ahead in delegates. The DNC's decision gave Clinton some extra delegates so Harriet should be happy about that!

I am a WOMAN and a NATIVE NEW YORKER, just like Harriet Christian but that doesn't give anyone the right to assume how I should vote or who I should vote for ...

OK, enough of that!! Check out the video for yourself and then sound in. I would like to hear your views on this!


Peace & Love!

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.
