[Vision2020] Rick Perry's Newest Problem

[Donovan Arnold]

Paul,
 
I guess you got your wish of living in a world where people can be offended. I personally prefer a world where people are respected.

It's been hinted at today that I am both inhuman and a psychopath.

Perhaps I should call it a night.

Thank you Carl for posting the link. Maybe these images will jolt some of the jackasses who pretend that they don’t understand the issues (Hello Paul and Jay) into at least an embryonic semblance of humanity.  And spare me the bullshit that  lynching is different than a rock or a creek or a mountain with a racist name. We all know that words have power that create environments where racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia flourish.  Tacit permission/acceptance of those words lead inevitably lead to bullying, physical/emotional violence and, tragically in some cases, murder.

>By the way, Jay, Rick Perry has good reason to claim that he had the rock painted he wants to be nominated.  Of course, by making that claim he is pointing out that it didn’t offend his daddy.  Others seem to have a different understanding of the issue.  and, until proven otherwise, I’m going with their version.

The U of I library also has the book, or did when I was working there.....

>When in the public arena . . . such as a presidential candidate, for example . . . it is not only offensive, but extremely disrespectful for Rick Perry to allow the term "niggerhead" to be emblazoned on property under Perry's control on public display, especially with a black president and directly competing with Herman Cain for their party's nomination.  At bare-bones minimum, it should be considered tactically inappropriate.
