Black on Black

It's one thing for some white right wing republicans to open their mouths and have some foul nonsense come flying out. Honestly, in this day and age don't we almost expect it? Hell, Sarah Palin just told President Obama to stop playing the race card on Martin Luther King Day. Talk about audacity, but her comments really didn't take the world by surprise and if they did, you need to come out from under that rock more often than you do.

Comments made by Rush, Hannity, and the rest of the talking fools on that sorry excuse of a news network called Fox about the President and his reign have come so fast and furious that we expect them. They really don't inspire anger or frustration anymore in me anymore. I don't know about you but I just laugh at them now. Those white folk spit their artificial vitriol because they want high ratings and they know that's the best way to get them. It's not news, it's entertainment programming for those that continue to vote republican even though voting that way has done nothing but hurt this country, but I digress.

The strangest thing in the world to me is a Black republican. They do exist and that alone is surprising, but when they say worse things about the President than the talking heads at Fox, I realize they are just trying to get a piece of that pie. It's very lucrative these days to be a Black republican, but if you want to get put on you have to do it subtly. Being over the top just makes them look stupid and desperate. Case in point: Joshua Black. This Black republican is running for a seat for the state house in Florida (yeah, I know), and had the nerve to agree with someone saying this, "I'm past impeachment. It's time to arrest and hang him high." I shit you not, read the article here...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Joshua Black.

This man threw his crazy hat into the pot with the other crazy hats and tried to outcrazy the crazy. So much so that other republicans called this man out on his craziness. Look Joshua, I can understand wanting to eat from that pie, you want to be invited on Bill Maher, Fox, and the Sunday morning talk shows to make a name for yourself. I get that, I do, but if you overdo it they won't touch you with a ten foot pole. And the voters of Florida should follow their damn lead.
