Where's the shame? "Chains and shackles?"

Just another brother being kept down by The Man's refusal to spend $3 million promoting his show. For shame! What would MLK say about this terrible injustice?

Probably something like "Stop whining, you idiot. Some of us wore real chains and shackles."

Stories like this make me happy. What better evidence is there that we've overcome most of our problems with racism when this kind of idiocy is passed off without thought?

This is similar to the rejection earlier this year of a $7 million contract by the NBA's Ron Artest (of course, this was before his little fisticuffs.) His reason: the offer was tantamount to slavery and, oh by the way, he couldn't feed and clothe his family on $7 million a year.

Unfortunately, this lunacy passes unquestioned by the libs as "deep and valid thought", when it in fact is little more than wishing one had his own whip, just as the slaves wished when they really were in chains and shackles.

When will they learn there is still slavery in the world, but it resides in mostly Muslim, mostly African countries.

We still have our attitude problems, but "chains and shackles"? I hardly think so...

Well, the Artist Formerly Known as Bankable and Relevant painted "Slave" on his face because Sony wouldn't release him early from a multi (MULTI) million dollar contract.

It's almost as sad as that little girl forced to live in an attic in Nazi-occupied Holland.

Ace, I also understand that Crispus Attucks was pissed that he didn't land the lucrative harbor clean-up contract in Boston.

Clearly, the bigger issue is being overlooked entirely...

Namely, Michelle Malkin closing her post with "Word."

It brings to mind what could be a really bad Mad TV skit.

Quick change of subjects! Paul Anka is on Las Vegas Tonight!!!!

I listened to part of MLK's speech today, and for the first time ever it left me with an overpowering sadness. After listening to people say that things are worse for blacks today (than when he first said those words) ... and another guy being interviewed on the radio giving excuse after excuse for why a black man can't get ahead now ... UGH. MLK must be spinning in his grave. To have his message so bastardized. They all have the day off- schools, etc and their are grand speeches, but tomorrow (in the hood) will just be like yesterday.

Give the guy a break! It's "free at last," not "cheap at last."

I must protest your degredation of the spelling skills of the nation's youth!
