Upping the Ante...

What'd I tell ya this year's theme would be, again? Here's Ta-Nehisi Coates today, a young black writer in his The Atlantic blog:

When a professor of history calls Barack Obama a "Food Stamp President," it isn't a mistake to be remedied through clarification; it is a statement of aggresion. And when a crowd of his admirers cheer him on, they are neither deluded, nor in need of forgiveness, nor absolution, nor acting against their interest. Racism is their interest. They are not your misguided friends. They are your fully intelligent adversaries, sporting the broad range of virtue and vice we see in humankind. If you are a praying person, you should pray for their electoral destruction in November. Surely they are praying for yours:

Let his days be few; and let another take his office
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.

His dad is a black publisher and former Black Panther remember, so perhaps you can give the son a pass for automatically thinking along these lines? Call it out when you see it though, folks. I, for one, don't like where this racial nonsense is leading...
