Iz it becoz he iz black?

So apparently, the police have moved in to clear out the Occupy Wall Street mongtards. The media helicopters have been removed from airspace above the various clear out operations, photo journalists have been removed from the premises and helmeted, black-clad Stasi have swept in to empty out people who have, to be fair, been entirely peaceful and civil in making their stupid, amorphous and inchoate "demands".

Now, I don't really know who gets to make the call. My best guess is that the police are very much under the control of the mayor of New York, and therefore this has sweet fuck all to do with the saintly Barry O'Barmy. If this is a one-off clear up, then my best guess is probably right.

But you just know that if this had been done while Dubya was still POTUS, this action would have led to frothing and screaming by Democrat voters and "liberals" around the world. People would still hold the shaved chimp responsible for everything they didn't like.

So why are people not inclined to scream when Barry "fucks up"? Why, when Bush bailed out business, was it rightly described as "looking after his mates", but when Obama does the exact same fucking thing, it's called "saving the economy"?

Now it is true that some of this could be ascribed to the blind, unquestioning loyalty of party politics that blights the limited value of democracy all round the world. "My man is doing it, so it must be the right thing to do, even though I screamed like a stuck pig when the other lot did it."

But even so, the reaction and blamestorming against Obama has been curiously muted.

So I have come to the conclusion that even though he has actually done nothing to Change or bring Hope to politics, although he has cynically continued most of the policies of his predecessor, people are afraid to challenge him lest they be accused of racism.

And the only reason they'd be afraid of that accusation is, because, y'know ... they're racist.

It's because human beings are fucked up, basically. And nothing will ever change. It's depressing.

Things *have* changed. There are elements of personal freedom now that never existed in the past.

@OTC

Well, yes. A sense of moral indignation does not mean the 'occupiers' are right, only that admission of being wrong is extraordinarily difficult, psychologically.

This is a tricky one. It suggest that in order to arrive at a more truthful understanding, one must not be passionate about the subject matter. Although of course I don't feel strongly about that.

@ Two Slits - Thanks to the Arts Council for that reply which stopped just shy of coherence.

So "A sense of moral indignation..means..only that admission of being wrong is extraordinarily difficult". What the fuck are you on about?

Which is exactly what I predicted would happen as soon as his nomination was made known.

Yup, the Dems figured they had themselves an 'untouchable' candidate. Sadly for them, when the bloom wore off somewhat, they were then themselves unable to criticise without falling foul of their own deranged fellow Dems.

Heh! *gets popcorn*

Oh joy of joys to find more black bashing company. Have I previously mentioned my heroic exploits as a Merseyside police probationer?

For old time's sake, many find entertainment in a good nigger hanging.

The downside is deafening screams for a piano wire version from the leather boys, JuliaM and the Furor.
