for using an expression, which is a metaphor and commonly used in the AA community. I'm AA. Several times, I have started to write something here and realized this is a multicultural, multiracial, and multiethnic site, which means I need to censor myself. When I want to get cultural I hang out at the very awesome The Obama Diary. The only thing you cannot do there is DISS the President and I'm totally in agreement with that.

I like this site and enjoy participating in the discussions. And I accept that whenever I post here, I have to censor myself to make sure I don't offend anyone. I'm okay with that.

Yes I remember the images of Bush as a chimpanzee. I thought it was extremely inappropriate. Whether you liked him or not, he was the President of the United States. Making him look bad made all of us look bad. However, the difference with PBO is that the fear, hate, and anger has gotten violent and become a multimillion industry. There has been an increase in membership in white supremacist and white hate groups. That's just a fact. It is not just directed at PBO. It includes Jews, Muslims, Hispanics, African Americans, Arabs, poor whites, biracial peeps, LGTB community, immigrants, and women. Hmmm . . . maybe we should start a coalition for all the sane peeps still living in America
