Okay, back to politics

As a negro, all i keep thinking about is the negroes in the south who [were] mired in an awful world before the civil rights movement and even after and how they were strong and alone and mostly unsupported at first. how their sacrifice and blood and washing the floors of whites who hated their guts allowed me to do all the shit i do every day, and be in my cushy tax bracket, and laugh and smoke cigars with my negro buppie ivy league friends, and how i owe it to them to fight the assholes in the capitol for every inch they wanna take off that sacrifice

fight and fight and fight. i owe history and precedent. fight and fight and fight. i owe my grandmother and my grandfather and his father and his mother who was a slave...

and if one more liberal friend tells me (even jokingly) that he's moving to canada or europe, i'm gonna kick his fucking heart out for my grandfather and grandmother and her mother who was a sharecropper and never had that choice...

it's on!

America. Fuck yeah.

I see his point, but I want to know where in America he lives. Because I'm getting tired of the fake macho liberal who sneers at those who are thinking of leaving the USA, and says "hell no, I'm staying and fighting... go me!"

If the sneerer is sitting pretty in a blue city in one of the bluest states, then he's a bit like the fake macho keyboard warrior who talks about how "we're" staying the course in Iraq, from the safety of his rumpus room in Waco.

You want to be a tough fighter? Move out of your comfortable coffee house social circle and into a rural county in a red state. Do your bit for demographic change: it's like vote-swapping, only with your feet.
