The sad thing is, I don’t think that would change these young college girls minds about obama because he is sooooo cute.
No, Dan, the sad thing is that people like Crystal are typical of the American public nowadays – ignorant, indocrinated fools.
Take your pick of her insipid “arguments” – the Jena 6, public school funding, gas prices???, interest rates??? – her “arguments” perfectly illustrate the dangerous place that Western Civilization currently finds itself in. By allowing Leftists to gain control over all the major mediums of information sharing and dispersal (ie. the education system, the news media, and the entertainment industry), the civilization that’s responsible for enlightening the world with Science, Reason, and Rationality has been reduced to a state of dumbed-down, adolescent, emotive silliness.
Her Jena 6 arguments are simply flat-out fabrications and misdirection. Want the real story? Enjoy:

Her public school arguments are also equally worthless, as I’ll wager you dollars-for-dimes that the real causes of the problems with the schools she’s complaining about lie at the feet of 1) the local government, which I’ll bet you anything is made of up of a black majority…and probably has been for the past 20 years, and 2) the attendees parents, in the form of higher percentages who are single parents, high school drop-outs, non-college educated, receiving public assistance, unemployed, etc. All of which mean lower tax revenues for their localties and higher percentages of what tax revenue there is going to fund other public assistance programs like housing assistance, food stamps, etc., thus short-changing their school systems.
I’m not even going to go into the silliness about gas prices and interest rates.
But will any of what I’ve stated above register with someone like Crystal? Of course not. Why? Because it doesn’t fit the victim narrative that’s been drilled into her througout here life; therefore, it must be discarded. I guarantee you she doesn’t even have the courage to read the two Jena 6 stories that I linked to. Why? Because people like her are deathly afraid of having their world views challenged.
Near the end of her post, she says “So please don’t think that I’m just some Angry black women looking for a handout!” But that’s exactly what you’re looking for, Crystal! You’re looking for a big ol’, heaping-helping of sympathy – waiting for white people to suddenly “see the light” about how existence is just so difficult for you, then fall down on their knees, confess their guilt, and…I don’t know…have a parade or something.
Well, guess what? I don’t have any sympathy for you. You wanna know why?
Because you live in the wealthiest country in the world.
You have a college education.
You have a full-time job sitting at a desk.
You own your own home.
You’re married and you have two children.
So, IOW, you are better off and have an easier life than probably 95% of the human beings that are alive on this planet.
That’s why I don’t have any sympathy for you. And that’s why I’m not buying the bulls**t Obama’s trying to sell to the American people – that somehow, the wealthiest, most leisured people in the world are in need of saving and “hope” and “change”.
Go to an Obama Revival – and that’s exactly what they are, good old-fashioned big-tent revivals – and you know what you’ll see? A bunch of idiots listening to a preacher tell them how terrible everything is…clapping and yelling and swooning and fainting…then driving home in their Volvos, Lexus’, and BMWs!!!
The fact that so many people in this country are so emotionally fragile and weak is infuriating!!!
I really, truly fear what the next 50 years may hold in store for humanity.
But maybe I shouldn’t worry..maybe Obama’s got the answer.
Or maybe Oprah.
