In the racial-identity-soaked political world that she has chosen to inhabit, does her life NOT matter?

The first panel shows a guy berating his dog Ginger, the word balloon full of objurgation in plain English and the caption: “What we say to dogs.” The next panel is the same drawing, captioned, “What they hear.” Same size word balloon, only now it’s full of “Blah blah blah blah blah Ginger blah blah blah blah blah Ginger blah blah blah blah blah.”<br /><br />It should not be imagined that a young black male is going to listen to what a white guy says, much less take it to heart. In their schools, their churches, and their social circles, they are relentlessly schooled to profile <em>us</em> -- as irredeemable racists. Racial reconciliation under such conditions is a chimera.Papa Whiskeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-91535859805289655242015-06-13T16:37:29.094-05:002015-06-13T16:37:29.094-05:00Jameson makes some good whiskey.

I don't always come up with the right words on the fly. Of course there was the time that I told my mother-in-law after she deliberately made my oldest daughter cry that she was a "scabrous-hearted harridan who oozed meanness the way a rotting corpse oozes stank." ("Stank" is a Southernism bearing the same relationship to stink that "nekkid" has to naked. To quote Lewis Grizzard, "Naked means you have no clothes. Nekkid means you have no clothes and are up to somethin'.")Dutchman6https://www.blogger.com/profile/09935420042995679958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-22676399641953472952015-06-12T20:48:48.805-05:002015-06-12T20:48:48.805-05:00Well done, Mike.
