My apologies for calling her dumb, but that is her character. She lies and gets all the gentle benevolent slave owners in trouble!

I believe Prissy is the dumb slave in Gone with the Wind who "don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies."

Speaks volumes, I think...

But Prissy prior to that moment claimed to be an expert on every subject known to man. That is the parallel. Nothing to do with race

If that's the case, there's white characters that fit this description no?

So we're calling the Commander in Chief a dumb slave. Classy.

I'm looking forward to it. I haven't lived in a real neighborhood since 1995. It's been on base the whole time, cheaper and safer. It will be refreshing to have actual neighbors.

Some return cause the food is better - others want to debate the issues in an old-fashioned way - then there's the actual building of the plank/platform - caucus meetings are FUN !!!

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

I believe that the subtext in that part of the story is that it's good for slaves to be enslaved because if they had real responsibility they would ruin everything!

I wish Prissy had saved the day.

I know you're not, talking about NB who was calling that. I didn't even think to look it up, thinking it was just another way to talk smack about Obama.

He's Ivy League-educated, black, successful and prominent. Are you surprised?

No, I'm disappointed.

Sounds like my type of party. I would love to debate some of these issues here IRL.

I grew up on this stuff - geting to caucus meetings - gave it up when Bush was nominated for Texas Governor. My problem was that if a moron with numerous failed businesses could get nominated - I don't want to be a member... then he got the @#$'ing party win, and later won the election and became one.

I've been going to various caucus meetings of all types the last 3 years - it's a great way to use your debating skills in a venue that actually matters.

You've motivated me to try this. I can't wait till I move. I would love to make a difference.

But you have made a difference. Before I met you i was unaware that at times, without meaning to, I could be culturally insensitive
