I'm tired of hearing, reading, watching this so called growing problem in this bizzare stupid country about the "white working class" and "white women".

This racial crap is annoying. I'm tired of it. It's like the KKK has taken over the media. Pitty the white working class who can't vote for a black guy. *sigh*

Madness.

Couldn't you just not watch it when you see it on tele?  Change the channel?  And if you're reading an article, couldn't you skip that section?

this is a foreign concept. lol
I read the paper every morning. Only way to get around this stupid talk is reading the foreign papers which I have been mainly the Guardian. Canadian papers are just as bad.

The next few weeks I've got a distraction in the EURO Football (Soccer) Championships.
July Tour de France rolls around

But you can't avoid this, it is everywhere. Commercials on tv, radio, internet, billboards on the highway, bumper sticker nation, yard signs, it's all people talk about unless you follow the Cardinals religiously and I don't.

Only way to avoid all of this is to find a cave somewhere. lol

 Are you referring to the Euro soccer championships?

 Maybe it's everywhere where you are but I didn't see anything here....yet?  I didn't even know the soccer thing was on until someone told me about it.  :P

I like dining on Danish. Love Italian dressing.  Never played Russian Roulette.

 I don't think you get it they're saying  Obama needs to appease stupid white people in order for a person of colour to get their vote and respect. Obama and his 'white problem'.

The soccer stuff is the distraction away from racist america.

This shit never ends.

Fox News Channel referred to Michelle Obama as "Obama's baby mama" in a graphic on Wednesday, the latest in a trio of references to the Democratic presidential campaign that have given fuel to network critics.   The graphic "Outraged liberals: Stop picking on Obama's baby mama" was flashed during an interview with conservative columnist Michelle Malkin about whether Barack Obama's wife has been the target of unfair criticism. [/p]  In the past two weeks, Fox anchor E.D. Hill has apologized for referring to an affectionate onstage fist bump shared by the couple as a "terrorist fist jab," and Fox contributor Liz Trotta said she was sorry for joking about an Obama assassination.
[/p]
 "Obama's baby mama" was never said on the air. Malkin said during her interview that she had seen no gratuitous or cheap shots taken against Michelle Obama by Republican or conservative critics. [/p]   Joan Walsh, a columnist from Salon.com, criticized the graphic on Thursday as a slur. [/p]  "Do you try to explain that 'baby mama' is slang for the unmarried mother of a man's child, and not his wife, or even a girlfriend?" Walsh wrote. "Are they racist, or just clueless? Isn't there racism even in their cluelessness, if somebody didn't know what 'baby mama' means, but used it anyway? Even at Fox, won't somebody have to apologize?"
[/p] Hill's "terrorist fist jab" comment came in a tease to a segment on the candidates' body language, and it wasn't repeated during the subsequent interview. She told Fox it was taken from something she had read online. [/p]   No matter: "terrorist fist jab" quickly became an online sensation. [/p]  Hill apologized on-air four days after she said it. Hill said some people "thought I had personally characterized it inappropriately. I regret that. It was not my intention and I certainly did not mean to associate the word 'terrorist' in any way with Sen. Obama and his wife." [/p]   Fox subsequently cancelled Hill's weekday afternoon program as part of a larger reorganization. She remains on staff. [/p]  Trotta's assassination joke came May 25 as she commented about how some considered it distasteful for Clinton to refer to Robert F. Kennedy's assassination when explaining why she was staying in the presidential race. [/p]  "Now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama," she said, quickly correcting herself. "Obama. Well, both if we could."
