fear of marxism and the new world order.

What I’ve come to understand is that the Brave New World is here, has been here and there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Mostly because most people haven’t even recognized it.

I’m not so sure it’s a “black” think as much as a “black and Muslim” thing. Obama also was a newcomer to national politics, it’s as if the magician pulled him out of a hat and *poof* he is POTUS.

If Colin Powell had been elected POTUS there wouldn’t be the same reaction.

Realization of global economics and the advent of instant global communication is causing a LOT of Cognitive Dissonance. What we are seeing on the fringes is and emotional reaction to that.

As I’ve said before, the earth has shifted on it’s axis with the Chilean Earthquake; Pluto is no longer a planet; Mr. Spock is in touch with his feelings; and we have a Black man in the White House. Most people never thought even one would happen in their lifetime, and I mentioned four.

The world is changing fast.

Personally, it was Mr. Spock that caused me the most emotional trauma. :)

You’re right—it’s the racism and xenophobia mixed together that becomes so toxic. True about Colin Powell. Even a different black Dem president, say Harold Ford or Deval Patrick, wouldn’t have his religion and American-ness questioned every damn day. Truly disgusting how the right has gone all nativist on Obama.
