Bigotry is rife and healthy all over the world and, with this new decade, we should start the mass wipe-out. Are you with me?

Janeane Garofalo talks about racism against Obama
Let’s face it. The extreme right wing is more likely to be racist than anyone else. It’s a generalization, but we will make it. There is a correlation between racism and irrational patriotism. Had they not care about his race, the birther movement would not have been this huge of a movement. This people trying to impeach Obama on the basis of some lineage idea they have in their heads, when they are the same people who voted for John McCain who, in fact, was born in Panama.

Film: Cadillac Records (2008)

I was skeptical about watching this movie at first because I felt it was yet another vehicle to re-launch Beyonce’s ailing acting skill. I find her to be emotionally vapid whether she is the love interest in that Pink Panther movie or her lackluster performance on Dreamgirls. Also, I felt that her squeakiness could change the image of Etta James in my head. This, with the fact that I felt Adrien Brody was cast to offset her banality as an actress was frown-worthy.
I was wrong. Beyonce shined, while Brody stalled. The character of Etta James came out to be rock and roll enough for me and (other than minor script falseness like Etta James being successful only after joining Chess Records) the story tied the race struggle and the evolution of what we know as rock and roll now very well. It’s like a serious of mini-biographies that wrap up the careers of legends like Muddy Waters, Etta James, Chuck Berry, to name a few.
The soundtrack is a saviour and the depiction of the white theft of the genre of blues is not curtailed. Moreover, the movie managed to sync well given the broad subjects it tackled.
Test your racism…
I took the racism test done by Harvard University that some of the bloggers are talking about and I raise some questions on the accuracy of the test and their methodology, but I am not unhappy with the results:
Take it and report back to me on the results.
John McCain thinks Arabs are indecent…

I talked about this earlier and it isn’t getting enough attention. So, here we see McCain refuting a miseducated woman claims that Obama is an “Arab” and he replies “No, ma’am he’s a decent man.” Great.

Those folks at BBC News always come up with new and forgotten aspects to the election unlike other news agencies that seem to be concerned with the bigger picture. Nitpicking the details can be just as resourceful, as indicated by this article. According to the study, Black candidates for any type of office in the US usually have higher polling numbers than that of the vote box. That is because white voters have “betrayed” black candidates before. There have been stories of candidates who run buy a wide lead only to see that the voting numbers dip. This is what the BBC calls “closet racism.” This phenomenon is known as the Bradley or Wilder Effect. Read on.
Ailin’ Palin, Vol. 3
5This is exactly the kind of ignorance and intolerance that feeds the electoral machine behind the red states. I don’t think they have even been out of Kentucky.
