White Rage is REAL!!!
Dear Vanillas…
I love y’all… I do…
But y’all have had it really rough in the 21st century.
First, you were all be lumped into the moron pile when George Bush got elected (the FIRST time). That HAD to be tough. Even other countries thought you were batshit for making that decision. I know I did. The man was a complete jackass who only cared about money (for HIS supporters and for the higher-ups in his party), wars (UNFOUNDED ones at that), fear mongering (have we gotten off that Orange alert yet???) and had a TERRIBLE grasp of the English language.
Then, in the biggest D’OH moment in American history, you somehow allowed him to get elected AGAIN. Years after he gave us all the Gas Face when the Twin Towers were destroyed along with the loss of 3,000 lives… After all of the maniacal decisions of his first term, somehow he “seemed” like the best choice for America. Even when the economy was tanking, somehow there were people out there (mostly in the mid-west and the Bible Belt) extolling the virtues of how that sum’bitch went into Iraq and went after that sum’bitch Bin Laden… not a word on how he or his policies and his party-mates tanked the economy though. No country for that discussion…
Then, something terrible happened… a Black man ran for President… and he WON!!!
Suddenly, there was a smoldering ire forming. The Black candidate was receiving death threats and having racial epithets hurled at him… for no other reason than being Black. In 2008. Go figure.
Although I knew that there were plenty of White people out there who HATED the fact that Barack Hussein Obama was elected as our 44th President, I don’t think I was fully prepared for the vitriolic soup that would pass for intelligent discourse in America in the months leading UP TO his election, much less after. I knew there were folks out there that felt that by virtue of the color of his skin, and not the content of his character, that he was a poor choice for President…
But heaven forbid I go to a NEWS SITE and look for INFORMATION on the election facts (see FOX News). Upon being satiated with knowledge (or something like it, we all know the major news outlets don’t report actual news) I would have my eyes and brain cells assaulted by the rage filled comments section. Jesus. That is the WORST PLACE to see America for what it is in its sad, lonely gut. The comment section starts off innocent enough, but get about 6 or 7 comments down and the crazy starts… (See above photo for the type of comments I’m talking about.)
Now… The GOP gives no fucks at all about these enraged Vanilla folks. Wait. I lie. They do, when it comes time to court their votes… But the problem is, and I’m sure if you took a look at the photo you’ll understand these words, the votes they court are from pure MORONS, RACISTS and the IGNORANT POOR. When I say the ignorant poor, I am not so stupid as to not see or understand that there are ignorant people of all races, but breaking that down is another post entirely…
Only a moron, a racist or an ignorant person would be able to fix their mouth to say the hateful things noted in the above photo. I know, there are people of all races saying hateful things all over the place, but I find it the most disheartening that the same people who purport to CARE about the office of the Presidency can, in the SAME SENTENCE, demean, degrade and SLANDER the current sitting POTUS…
I contend that this is a taste of what the minorities (quickly becoming the majority, mostly because the people whining above about jobs would rather see someone of non-white descent doing the “low” jobs) have been feeling for CENTURIES in this country. Watching the government meant to represent ALL of it’s citizens NOT represent the actual MAKE UP of the country. Black people have been FIGHTING to be recognized as PEOPLE forever in America and yet there are people in this country who want to say, “Welp, we’ve elected the Black guy and he did four years so we can just forget about the other bullshit, right nigger?”
NO. Not at all.
Now that these angry White people are becoming the minority, they are livid. Welcome to the club, angry White people… is it everything you thought people of color should have dreamed it would be?
Signed,
Happy Black Woman
P.S. – If any Romney, Tea Party or GOP supporters are reading this (and I doubt you are), I’d be happy to discuss INTELLIGENTLY and WITHOUT SHADE what you believe the GOP is doing for you, me and for the good of the country… But please keep the White rage out of it, I am not here for that.
The Souls of White Folks... Why White Rage is the New Black,
