debatable debacle

i have pasted below my favorite review of last night's 'presidential' debate. yeah, it was retarded and whether it was in fact a 'debate' is debatable. all these other bloggers are saying what i could say so i won't say it.

but what i haven't read anywhere is my racialized take on this 'debate' ... maybe cuz i'm blackety black black BLACK ... and crazy ... but ummm last night's 'prezidential debate' reminded me of what it's like to go to an all-white college and be the only black student in the class ... even if the prof is black or hindi or whatever ... many times THE black student has to prove why they are in the classroom ... your papers gotta be tighter, your analysis sharper, your questions more relevant, and grammar and diction clearly enunciated ... (at least if you buy into that bullshit)

... barack obama got dished with retarded ass questions (no offense to mentally disabled people - i am not talking about you) about how much his pastor LOVES america, and the weather underground ... because ... he is the only black kid in the class.

not that we mind! we used to it. and barack is the best at it.

here's what glenn greenwald had to say at salon.com ... and he provides links to other commentaries on last nite's debacle ... love yourself by informing yourself:
