JabPNACky

One of my favorite poems is Jabberwocky. It was written by by Lewis Carroll
and is taken from:

Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872.

Even though it is full of nonsense words, you still understand it.

I have always wanted to "sample" that poem and have made a valiant attempt to do so below.

If you have never read Jabberwocky, I suggest you read it before reading my poem.

JabPNACky

'Twas scrific and the slimy Rove
Did lie and swindle in the wake:
All flimsy were the truths they drove,
The Press just mused and faked.

"Beware the JabPNAC my son!
The teeth that lie the fist that slam!
Beware the Neocon
And shun the flurious Wingnut sham!"

He took his laptop in his hand
Long time the Wraqmogner he sought--
So rested he by Pontchartraine,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in feevish thought he slumped,
The JabPNAC with lies defame,
Came scriggling through the sticky swamp,
And frumbled without shame!

One two! one two! and through and through!
The laptop went blog blog blog!
Was plenty read, no sheep unlead
He went cutrunning back.

"And has though slain the Jabpnac?
Come to my arms! my clever Scribe!
O joyful day, no Tom Delay"
He cheerjumped with high five.

'Twas scrific and the slimy Rove
Did lie and swindle in the wake;
All flimsy were the truths they drove,
The Press just mused and faked.

Bill is off his meds again

As Media Matters has previously noted (here and here), O'Reilly said of Hornbeck -- who was abducted at the age of 11, held for four years, and recently found in Missouri -- that "there was an element here that this kid liked about this circumstances"; that O'Reilly "do[esn't] buy" "the Stockholm syndrome thing"; that he "believe[d]" that Hornbeck did not enjoy school; and stated: "The situation here for this kid looks to me to be a lot more fun than what he had under his old parents. He didn't have to go to school. He could run around and do whatever he wanted."
Further, on the January 15 O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly did indeed note Hornbeck's "piercings" in discussing his views on the Hornbeck kidnapping. While discussing the case with fellow Fox News host Greta Van Susteren, O'Reilly stated: "[T]his is why I don't believe in the Stockholm syndrome -- this guy, Shawn Hornbeck, gone four years, 11 to 15, authorities actually say he taunted his own parents on their website. He, you know, has got the piercings. He's -- I mean, this is a troubled kid."
Excerpted from Media Matters




Bill O'reilly it appears that you have forgotten to take meds again. Apparently you commented on that unfortunate young teen, Shawn Hornbeck, who was rescued by police last week in Missouri without the benefit of your medication.

First of all when does a child molester/kidnapper get elevated to the status of parent? You said the child didn‘t want to return to his “old parents”, which implies that you consider his captor to be his new parent. Kidnapper, child molester, sex pervert, loser---not parent.

Second, you don't know anything about any of these people, you never heard of any of them before last week; how on earth could you feel you have the ability to even comment on this situation?

Then I remembered you are crazy. You have some kind of psychiatric condition and you obviously forgot to take your meds.

I have to admit I don't watch your show so I didn’t actually see the words come out of your mouth, but it certainly is not a stretch of the imagination to believe you made those comments. I don't watch your show because it is difficult to watch someone with your afflication on TV talking about any subject, it reminds me of the judges on American Idol watching and mocking the mentally challenged contestants that appear during the initial elimation process. Those contestants are funny and entertaining but you also feel bad for them since they don’t know that they are mentally challenged. It is painful to watch them and it is painful to watch you.

I know you have millions of fans. The only explanation I have for that is that there are a lot of Americans who are very confused, mentally ill like yourself or just too stupid to realize they are watching someone who needs help.

Children have complex minds with developmental challenges. The perpetrator took that child at a point when he was just starting to develop a semi independent identity from that of his parents. Who knows what kinds of threats, brainwashing and abuse that child received at a delicate point in his development. A normal, intelligent-- not insane-- person would know that or at least know enough not make any comment due to lack of knowledge and training on the matter. But since you have a mental illness, that part of your brain that allows you to draw logical conclusions or even admit you don't know something is damaged; so you are incapable making rational statements especially without your medication.

Your employers don't care that you are crazy because you are bringing them money, just like American Idol in which the early shows with those poor deluded untalented contestants probably bring in more viewers than the actual talent part of the broadcast.

You need someone to help you. You can't depend on Fox News or your coworkers, your insanity is their bread and butter. You need to hire an assistant to remind you everyday to take your meds. I'll volunteer to do it. I have to take blood pressure medication every day, I will call you after I take my pill to remind you to take yours.

I am sure the next day after you took your meds you felt really sorry about what you said and claimed you were quoted out of context (code words for out of meds). I think you should draft some kind of public apology to the family and all the other families who have lost children to child molesters and kidnappers-- that way we know you really didn't mean those words.

Otherwise you will forever be known as the commentator who thinks kidnappers and pedophiles are "parents" to their victims.

My God Doesn't Talk To People, Have Children or Keep Harems

God

(according to Broke Down Oprah)

Scientists are pretty sure billions of years ago the Universe was the size of a single atom which exploded to create the present Universe. They call this the Singularity.

See Big Bang

They sort of know what happened after the Singularity but not so much before. I believe if there is a God, He (the word He is being used as a convention not as a description) would be on the other side of that Singularity.

I also think this God would have better things to do than:


To stare over my shoulder watching every thing I do, judging me.

To run some big estate with hundreds of virgins waiting to play host (and pimp?) to suicide bombers.

To father children with illiterate poor Middle Eastern women in the days when humans were truly backward and superstitious, something which could get the poor lady killed.

To talk to intolerant and judgmental people and tell them of impending doom. I think if God did decide to speak to someone it would be someone intelligent, wise, and representative of all men.

Make up arbitrary commandments.

Make people sick or heal them.

Play dice, Einstein was right.

I believe God is beyond our knowledge or capacity to know.

Every time I read about science discovering something new about the Universe, something like mapping all the genes in the human body or the Human Genome Project, I think maybe we are getting too close to knowing all the secrets of life, then I smile to myself, because I know God is saying, "yeah, right".

We are so arrogant and so clever it must be amusing.

The only explanation that makes sense to me is that somehow we are born into this world to live and have experiences. Whatever those experiences are would be up to us. We are given tools and instincts to survive. I don't know anything more about it and cannot answer questions why some people are happy and lucky and some are more unfortunate. Maybe all will be revealed later.

I think there is a part of us that transcends our current level of awareness; and we can sometimes access that part of ourselves especially in times of danger, impending death, or mystical enlightenment; but that something is not God. I think we are supposed to spend our lives being the best we can be and enjoying this precious gift.


God didn't create us in his image but we sure as hell created Him. Whatever image God does project is not available to our pitiful little senses. We made God just like us only bigger, meaner and more powerful.

So why don't we admit we are just worshipping ourselves?

Technorati Profile

POTUS SCROTUS

I have always thought of Presidents as figure heads, people who strut around being big shots, with a lot of pomp and circumstance, but who really didn't have much to do with my life on a day to day basis except in some vague way.

However, this particular President, Bush, has changed that view of them. He scares me and I worry about him starting a war with the wrong country, bankrupting our treasury or starting nuclear war. That would affect me in a very real and personal way.

The President can't be arrested in while in office, I didn't know that. If you visited the White House and went into the Oval office and the President killed you, he can just say that he was talking to you and you dropped dead. No one is going to question him, even if they were to do an autopsy and even if it looks as if you were murdered they still wouldn't do anything to the President.

Let's say the President were a serial killer and he does the exact same thing to three other visitors, they still wouldn't charge him with any crime, they just wouldn't let him be alone with anybody else while in the Oval office.

It must be intoxicating for someone to have that kind of power.

Most Presidents have been well educated, well meaning, well adjusted, and popular men; but I was surprised to learn how many didn't have any formal education, weren't elected, and were just plain bad.

Still my research did not turn up anyone worse than Bush.


So here are some of my thoughts about the Presidents.


The Best Presidents

Franklin Delano Roosevelt






I put him at number one because he turned the country around economically during the depression and was hated for it by the rich, even though economic prosperity helped them too, they just can't stand to see poor people have any kind of prosperity. They even tried to stage a military coup, it didn't work. Also he was the President during WWII, and he entered the war despite Isolationist sentiments which was a good thing with those crazy Nazis and that crazy Japanese emperor. We don't need emperors in the 20th century and that's what happens when you are an emperor you start to believe your own hype and bite off more than you can chew. Anyway I think FDR was the best President of all of them.

He came up with Social Security, higher taxes for the rich, more controls on banks and public utilities, work relief programs--all this and he had polio and spent many years confined to a wheelchair.

---

Theodore Roosevelt







I like Teddy Roosevelt because he was a kind of renaissance man. He did a lot of good for the country and he was pretty courageous. He was a conservationist and was pretty progressive or "liberal" for that time period. He was what a President should be, larger than life, powerful and inspirational. He wrote books, was a historian and was against big business as it related to hurting workers.

He won the Nobel Peace prize and he was a war hero.

---

John Fitzgerald Kennedy






I really like JFK because he was the first President I ever remember knowing. I don't remember Eisenhower at all, but when JFK entered the White House we, blacks and young people, were thrilled. I remember watching all of his news conferences, he was so charming and engaging. We all felt hope for the future. He was also a war hero and very intelligent. We thought the Kennedys were so fascinating and as much as we liked JFK we really loved RFK. If JFK were not assassinated America might be a very different place as he probably would have accomplished much in the way of progressive policies.

The Best looking Presidents
(based on their younger photos)







George Walker Bush--Though now he looks like a combination of an old chimp and an old lizard, when he was young, W, was quite handsome. I still don't like him but I think he is the best looking young president, I think Warren G Harding is the best looking old President.

---

Kennedy--I know most of you think he should be number one, but I could not find any really good young pictures of him. He was cute when he was young, but I think Bush was better looking. Kennedy did age better though, before he was cut down so early in life.

---

Franklin Pierce--This would seem to be an odd choice. The reason I chose him is that he looks pretty good in his portrait. If you have ever been to a museum or have seen portraits of people in the 16th, 17th, or 18th centuries they all look sad, serious, pasty, dyspeptic, inbred and just downright unagreeable. I figure if one of them actually looks good on a painting, then that individual must have been extraordinarily handome or beautiful in real life. So I think Mr Pierce deserves his place at number three.

The Worst Presidents
George W. Bush






This needs no explanation. But if this site is around a hundred years from now you may want to know why.

Iraq War--started a preemptive war based on false evidence and part of a ideological plan by Neoconservatives.

Sent thousands of men and women to war and death but didn't serve himself, opting for a deferment instead

Hurricaine Katrina--After Hurricaine devasted most of New Orleans let the citizens who were mostly poor and black suffer several days of no food, no water, no sanitation, no security resulting in the destruction of that city, while simultaneously telling the head of FEMA, the agency that was supposed to help the victims of the disaster, that he was doing a fine job.

Inarticulateness--Inability to speak english in an intelligent manner when making speeches and being interviewed. Makes up words that don't exist in English.

Stole election--Al Gore should have won in 2000, but with the help of the Supreme Court and others, stole the Presidency from him.

Attempted to systematically destroy the rights of Americans under the guise of fighting against terrorism.

It is difficult to say now but his actions may cause widescale war and destruction throughout the entire Middle East and ruin our economy.

---

Andrew Johnson
Had no formal education and was a taylor (great if I want a suit made)
Was very ineffective during the Reconstruction
He suffered from the same sort of indecisiveness and lack of action as Buchanan
He was impeached.
If he showed more leadership maybe the aftermath of slavery would have been different and hence the future generations would have had better lives.

---

James Buchanan
Ineffectiveness as a President led to the Civil War, and though it may have been inevitable, he was indecisive and left the mess for his successor Abraham Lincoln.

If you cannot lead and cannot make decisions you don't need to be President.

Besides I just don't like the way he looks, kind of shifty.

The Black Presidents?

There is speculation that five of our Presidents were black:

---

Warren G.Harding

---

Abraham Lincoln

---

Thomas Jefferson







Calvin Coolidge








Andrew Jackson

---

Harding was one of the worst Presidents ever, he didn't make the top three worst but he was definitely number four. Black people have enough challenges with adopting this idiot.

Jefferson was extremely racist, he described his slaves as smelly subhumans but that didn't stop him from partaking of a few. It's hard to smell good when you have spent all day picking cotton in the hot deep south, its much easier when you are all perfumed up and sitting writing documents and building nations. So if he were part black he was really disturbed. He is our most celebrated founding father because he wrote the Declaration of Independence, so he was probably good for the country in the formative years, but he wasn't good for black people and we don't need him. But he is on the $2 bill any President on money can't be all bad. Its not that he was a bad President, just my personal second least favorite, you know who my least favorite is.



I think if we blacks feel compelled to usurp white Presidents into our race then we should pick people like Clinton, Teddy Roosevelt, Carter and John Quincy Adams.

These five listed above took great pains and went to great lenghts to be white, so let them stay that way.

link for Presidential Requirements

That's it?

Any idiot can become President.


I think the requirements should be:

• Natural Born citizen over 35 years old
  
• Have lived most of your life in America not just 14 years
  
• Have served at least two years in the military or Peace Corps, Americorps or some kind of service to your country in which leadership skills can be documented
  
• A psychological and psychiatric evaluation
  
• A college degree
  
• Be able to pass an American and Global history test
  
• able to speak a foreign language

Let's Google Some Black People

When you do a Google search for "black people" there are 771,000,000 entries per the search engine. When you choose the I'm feeling lucky box you get the site

black people love us.

That's nice.

The other day, I was watching a segment on MSNBC about the best place to work in America and guess where that was? Right, it was Google. They had chefs preparing lots of different mouth watering entrees for the staff, totally free. There were free massages in quiet dark rooms, for free. You could bring your dog to work. There was a free gym, you could get $5000 to purchase a hybrid vehicle and the list just went on and on. The employees there loved it. They were so loyal to Google and their jobs they thought nothing of pulling an all-nighter, all for the good of the company. They were happy and fulfilled, sublimely more lucky than the rest of us who have to work for paranoid cheap employers who expect us to know computers, have emotionally stable personalities, be superior customer service providers, be skilled and educated, and be happy to be paid $12 per hour. They give us closets for break rooms, and forget about a place to rest when you have a headache, let alone get a massage. Massages? Have you lost your mind? That's a good one.

Yes I have to admit I was envious of those happy young beautiful faces. Google gets a million applications a year which makes sense, since they have absolutely no competition anywhere in the world of work.


But one thing I noticed that didn't sit too well with me was the fact that there appears to be not one single solitary black person working there. The MSNBC news segment lasted several minutes and showed hundreds maybe thousands of employees and not one was black. There weren't any old people either, but that was understandable since old people don't know anything about technology, they are sort of hard on the eyes and the billionaire owners want their employees to be happy. There were plenty of white people and the new white people (Asians); but no black people. I don't know if there were any Hispanics either, but I will have to let a Hispanic blogger deal with that issue.


I was racking my brain trying to come up with an explanation for this. Maybe there are black people working there but they just were not shown. That seems kind of odd. If you were one of the most famous corporations in the world, being profiled by a major news outlet and you only had a few black people there; wouldn't you want to show them? Wouldn't you make sure they were in at least a few shots? I didn't see any black people.

Maybe this was filmed last year on Martin Luther King's Birthday or one of the days of Kwanza and all the black people just didn't happen to be there on that day.

Maybe your corporate offices are not on a bus line and it is hard for black folks to get there.

Maybe you received a threat from some white supremacist group that they will come and kill all of your black employees on the same day MSNBC showed up, just a coincidence really.

Maybe you have lots of black people they just all happen to be light skinned and/or biracial so they weren't noticeable in the wide angle shots of the employees.

Maybe all the black people were in the bathroom during the filming or getting one of those free massages.

Maybe there were plenty of shots of black employees but when the film was edited they just happened to be edited out.


There has to be some kind of logical explanation, otherwise it appears that Google, one of the richest corporations in America and without a doubt the best place to work, does not have any black people working there-- and don't have any problem with the rest of the world knowing it?

So to sum up Google has 771,000,000 black people on Google but none at Google?

Google, if you indeed have black people working there I would love to see a picture of the them, because they didn't make it to the NBC broadcast. I would love to be proved wrong and I will admit as much and show the pictures.

Black people want the good life just like everybody else and we want to work for the best employer in the world, too.

I will let the AARP deal with the lack of old people.


Fake Google Logos, Google Logo Images, Google Logo Pictures by Google

I just don't get the Donald

Its time for BDO to weigh in on the Rosie/Donald feud. I will try to be objective but its hard because I consider Trump to be down there with Bush, President Bashir of Sudan, and Paris Hilton.

He has signed himself up on every talk show he can find and takes delight in bashing Rosie, her ugliness, her fatness, her degenerateness ( I don't get that, unless he thinks gays are degenerate). I have never heard any celebrity bash another celebrity so ruthlessly. He has shown not the slightest bit of restraint. His rants are so difficult to watch they are almost pornographic. And why? Because Rosie had the audacity to disagree with his decision to let Miss USA keep her crown despite some questionable behavior on her part.


He says that Rosie is wrong and that firing Miss USA would ruin her career.


Vanessa Williams was fired from Miss America for questionable behavior and went on to have hit records, a brief movie career, a popular TV show, and is probably the most successful Miss America ever. It didn't hurt her career. I agree with Rosie, you can't be one of the Girls Gone Wild stars and Miss USA. Well, you can now because anything goes in Show Business. I even heard the Miss USA is contemplating a Playboy shoot when she gets out of Rehab.


Anyway Rosie didn't deserve his wrath for expressing her opinion. But she got it. I have issues sometimes with Rosie, she is very opinionated and loud, and she and Elton John need to get some fat, gay, middle aged anger management therapy, but I think she is funny and at least does provide some value to humanity. I don't see the value of the Donald, so I have decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. Open up Donald.

Donald Trump, I find you particularly irritating because to me you represents what is wrong with Corporate America. Corporate America started out good in this country. They took the Industrial Revolution and moved our country forward with conveniences and technology. This led to wealth, opportunity and the top spot of the world food chain. Then something happened. They stopped making things of value. They outsourced that to smart but poorer countries, and decided to make stuff of limited value or empty value; and muck with our minds in the process.

It's like we received a beautiful Present one day. The Box was big and shiny with gold and silver wrapping paper, beautiful ribbons of all colors of the rainbow streaming down in ringlets. We carefully opened the Box taking care not to destroy the beautiful wrapping, saw the beautiful pastel tissues encrusted with glitter and when we reached inside we could find nothing in the Box. We asked where is the present, and were told that the Box is the Present. We should take the beautiful Box and display it prominently in our homes, make it a conversation piece. Most of the rich and famous have One. We should take It to work and show everybody our beautiful new Present Box so our coworkers would be envious of us, like when our boyfriends and husbands send flowers to our workplace, but this is way better than any dead lame flowers. We could also give It to our children to take to show and tell, with their solemn promise not to damage It, which will surely make them the most popular kids at school.

To me, Donald, are the king of the new Corporate America. A whole lotta hoopla, doodads and yapping about a box that is empty. But...Donald,you believe you are the Present that is in that Empty Box. You think you are handsome and sexy. And we all know you are primarily promoting yourself and your lame show. You have branded yourself and you want your name to be mentioned as much as possible which translates into more wealth for you.

But you go on and on ranting about how ugly and fat Rosie is; and how her girlfriend is only with her because of her money; and how hard it must be for her girlfriend to even be with that ugly fat pig....

Donald, dude, do you even have any mirrors in that gold electroplated mausoleum you live in?

And that wife of yours, Malaria, I wonder what kind of cocktail of drugs she would have to be on to be around you and sleep with you every night.

I am a post menopausal, overweight baby boomer and I wouldn't sleep with you.

Well, I would sleep with you under the following conditions: First I would have to be on Rohipnol and Ecstasy, several Valiums, and a fifth of Vodka. I would have to have a signed agreement from you that no one, and I mean no one,-- not even myself, would ever find out and I would have to receive check for two million dollars. You would have to agree to say nothing-- no words, no utterances during "it" --just like a Scientology birth. Shhhh, no talking whatsoever. In other words I would have to be dead. The check would have to go to my heirs.

Why would I need all of that?

Donald, your face looks like a droopy white blotchy ass with a flaming red sneering hemorrhoid protruding from it, with eyes drawn on each cheek and a fake nose stuck in the crack, topped off with a nasty looking red toupee. When you talk I want to shrink myself to the size of ant crawl into my ear and smash my hearing mechanism and then enter my ear nerve go into the brain that stores the memories of you and damage those cells as well. When I see you I want to find the switch that controls my retina and turn it off.


Why do you talk like that anyway? You talk like you are in a wind tunnel and someone is feeding you cue cards one word at a time. That would be ok if you had something intelligent, witty or interesting to say, but you don't-- ever.

In the promo of the Apprentice, when you are leaving your private jet with that "Money" song piping in the background, you are walking with your hand touching your chest like Napoleon, I can just tell you think you are so hot, so sexy, so powerful. I keep dreaming that they would reshoot that promo, but right when you get off that last step, someone would put a banana peel there and you would trip and fall on your face and your hair would start flying in all different directions. I love that image.

What you consider hot, sexy and powerful I consider buffoon like.

So when I think Trump I think buffoon--not value, not wealth, not real estate, not bottled water, not cologne, not Miss USA, not casinos-- just a big red headed butt faced buffoon.

You don't live in a dysfunctional family?

PAYDAY LOANS

Really, Let's take a look at one. This is a family of seven. The mother and father both work to pay for their overvalued home in their upscale gated community. The father is a police officer who is assigned to poor minority neighborhoods. The mother is a social worker who is also assigned to poor neighborhoods. They have two children who are multimillionaires. They earned their money from the stock market and other money related activities the parents don't understand. They don't pay rent or contribute to the household income even though they tell the parents how to run the house and how to enforce the rules.

They have two more children who are homeless. They became addicted to drugs and online gaming and cannot keep a job so their millionaire siblings made them leave since they cannot contribute to the household. The parents feel sorry for their unfortunate offspring and let them come to the back door of the kitchen to get leftovers and sometimes slip them a couple of bucks.


They have one more kid who is very tough and kind of dangerous. He is always starting fights with other dangerous types and he has many kinds of weapons in his locked room. He comes home all hours of the night and doesn‘t explain his whereabouts or activities to anybody. The millionaires lets him stay there because they feel safe with his presence and they are sort of afraid of him. He also has demands that have to be met by the parents and doesn’t contribute any money to the household.

Mom and dad are so stretched trying to make ends meet that they have to start getting payday loans. The millionaires don't pay any rent because they feel that they made their money and they shouldn't have to give any to their parents. The scary kid doesn’t pay any money because he is contributing safety and security to the household and that's worth more than money. The parents don't complain because they have millionaires living in their house of whom they brag to all their friends. They don’t mention the scary son so much but they feel safer that he is around, especially whenever the homeless kids want to stay around and cause trouble.

Also the millionaires give them lots of good money advice, except that after supporting them, the gun toting son, the overvalued house in the upscale gated community they don't have enough money left over to meet basic expenses. They get four payday loans a month. Two from the Chinese owned payday loan place and one from the Arab owned payday loan place. Sometimes they barely make the payments and sometimes they have to reloan in order to make it to the next week.

The gun packing son wants to install more security and he wants more guns that he insists the parents buy. Mom and dad can't afford it but they can't say no either. What if something were to happen, what if they got robbed?

You say this is ridiculous there is no family on earth like this.

Really?

What about the United State of America?

What?

Mmmm?

Oh..... Ok.

Open Letter To The President of Sudan from Broke Down Oprah

President Bashir

Dear President Bashir

You are ruling your country under troubled times and I hope you can take a minute or two to read this letter from me. I have read about the conflict in your region. I have read about the charges of genocide, government backed militias, and the word Janjaweed--which is new to my vocabulary.

What I have not heard until now, as far as I can tell, is why are you and the Janjaweed killing the ethnic black people of Darfur (who are by the way Muslim, like yourselves),when as far as I can tell you are all black.

If you came to America and drove a BMW down the streets of Beverly Hills you would be stopped and questioned by the police, just like any black man living in America.

If someone put you in a time machine and sent you back to Mississippi in the 1920's you stand a good chance of being lynched, like any black man in America.

If they sent you back further in time you stand a good chance of being captured by Arabs, castrated and turned into a Eunuch and forced to watch over that Arab's harem, just as many African men were forced.

So I don't understand the racism.

I haven't seen any Janjaweed but I suspect they are just as black as you are. I am trying to picture in my mind the absurdity of a Janjaweed man raping a black Darfur woman telling her that she should be happy to get pregnant; because at least her baby will be light and not black like her, when he is probably the same color she is. Insanity is hard to explain sometimes but that just defies explanation.

I have often heard that Eskimos have about nine different words for snow, because they live in snow and it is necessary to their survival to know snow in and out, could this racial confusion be an example of that kind of complexity?

To our untrained eyes you are all black but to your eyes there are colors on the spectrum we don't see, but are very apparent and obvious from centuries of living under Arab domination and self hatred. At least that would make some kind of sense.

So if someone were to take you to a Darfur Village and drop you off there right before the Janjaweed arrived to murder and rape, would they recognize you as one of them, an Arab? Or would they just kill you along with all the rest of the blacks?

I was watching a news program about a boy who dropped his book bag when fleeing from the Janjaweed. He was lucky enough to make it to a refugee camp. They found a composition book full of geometric problems and solutions and beautifully handwritten Arabic. He appeared to be a good student. When they tracked him down he told them they can donate the bag and the contents to the Holocaust Museum so people would remember what has happened. This child could have grown up to be a great person in Sudan. A mathematician or scholar to help your country overcome all kinds of problems, but he has been broken, physically and spiritually, watching his family slaughtered while he wastes away in a refugee camp. Why? Because he is black and not Arab?

In a CNN article you state that,

"We are hoping that we are capable of reaching an agreement to solving the problem of Darfur."

You are the cause of that problem, all you have to do is to stop. Or else one day the Janjaweed may decide you don't fall on the correct side of your imaginary color scale and come after you.
