It has been ages since I typed here, I really need to get it all sorted out... but when I saw this today I knew I had to stick it here: Oprah's Crusade
An excerpt before you go read it all:
'(Gayle) King, a witness to the incident, said it was one of the most humiliating moments of her life. "It was like something out of Mississippi Burning," she said.
"In some ways, it was worse than what Rosa Parks faced. At least Sister Rosa was welcome to move to the back of the bus. They wouldn’t even let us in the back of the store," King said. "Which would’ve been insulting enough, but at least that’s where they have the leather bangle bracelets. Have you seen them? They’re adorable. And only $800 apiece! They also have sterling silver bracelets for $1100, but that would be too painful a reminder of our history as slaves."'
Oh Oprah, get over yourself. Apparently this was more humiliating than all the sympathetic spin put on her "tragic childhood" in her A&E Biography?
What can I say but... BARF!
About Me
- PolarBear
- Appearance:I'm a big fat white ornery critter.
Family: Married. 2 kids (1 F & 1 M)
Beliefs: I attempt to follow the philosophy of Buddhism. Although I believe the original philosophy of Christianity was sound, organized religions have largely turned it into a politicized tool to advance their own agendas. The Bible is a good storybook with some good ideas, but it was written by men with all their inherent flaws and prejudices.
Life Philosophies: Honesty is paramount. Do what you enjoy as long as it does not harm others. Life is for living, because everyone dies. Darwinism should never be legislated against - if people are stupid enough to damage themselves foolishly, why should the government interfere?
