First of all where was michelle obama when the decisin was made to have bernie mack speak. and no i am not attacking michelle > but michelle and barack has to begin to see the full picture, and the truth is that white america is not going to turn the white house over to the obama’s without a fight, the obama’s are under a spectator’s glass, and they have to learn that what you can do around black america you cannot do around white america, now bernie mack was their because someone was not on their job, barack is not the president yet, and i am sick and tired of all of these slip’s > and and while i am talking why can’t michelle wear panty hose when she go’s out to speak . i know some people are going to get angry but, the truth is michelle obama is going to have to learn to do the dance the way her husband is, do you think barack wants to be in a suit and tie seven day’s a aweek , but he doe’s it because he has learned that in order for him to get to where he want’s to get to he has to play the white man’s game, when we see cindy mccain she is alway’s emacculate everything in place. trust me michelle is being watched like a hawk as well as the wee michelle’s, and truth is michelle has to make sure her daughter’s are well groomed at all time’s and their hair should never ever be looking unkept in the public, remember the interview last week with the wee michelle’s, the small daughter’s hair should have been brushed back more neatly. the truth is the truth > prophet <

I just find it amazing that so many black women just don’t get it. Some black women have raised several generations of men who truly dislike black women. We have to look at ourselves and ask why. There is something so “sick” in our souls that we have allowed this to happen. I don’t know about anyone else, but i am so TIRED and I won’t waste any more of my energy worrying or being concerned about many of our black men in the community. I just won’t any more.

Shouldn’t the more appropriate question be, was Bernie was “implying” that Michelle Obama is a Ho?

Because if Bernie was “inferring”, as you so stated, then that necessarily means that he was basing his statement on whatever he saw Michelle Obama say or do, and, hence, from those actions or statements, then made the “inference” that Michelle Obama is a Ho.

That is because an inference is something that one perceives, not something that one states.

Thus, if the writer of this blog believes that Bernie was hinting to the audience that Michelle Obama is a Ho, it would necessarily mean that he was “implying”, not inferring, said sentiment.

Of, course, said sentiment could certainly have been based on Bernie’s prior “inference”. Or not.

Either way, an implication and an inferrence are two different things and a blog writer should know the difference if they wish to be taken credibly.

sorry. it must have been the prevalence of the “bros before hos” crap coming from some Obama supporters during the primary, and the juxtaposition of the word pimp with an image of Hillary.

i must have misread. it looked like the same behaviour you’re calling out – the misogynist and racist use of language.

SIGH,

The “Pimp” is Bob Johnson. And as he was workingo n her behalf and not the other way around, explain to me how you have concluded she is a “ho’. If I had said PIMPS in the pulpit I could understand. But I appreciate your concern about Hillary covorting with Bob Johnson a multimedia crack cocaine dealer.

Good to know where your priorities are.

isn’t posting a picture of Hillary with the word “pimp” in the caption also, you know, implying that she’s a ho?

i’m down with calling out the racism and sexism deployed against Michelle, can we not throw that misogynist shit at Hillary?

Bernie was clearly the wrong choice for a presidential candidate’s event. Whoever made that decision, needs to be demoted to passing out fliers – or outright fired.

I do, however think Bernie is funny as all hell. Those who don’t probably didn’t like Pryor or Murphy in their heyday. Stick to Margaret Cho and Kathy Griffin, then.

On election day – I will be voting for Obama, not Bernie, or a miniscule, yet bad decision by a some staffer.

Oh my Lord,

Dick Gregory at the Black State of the Union and now this…..when will we learn.

Who thought to invite Bernie Mac to this fundraiser??????

If that’s the way they’re going….I say let’s hire Paul Mooney as head speech writer Dave Chapelle can co-ordinate the appearances.

Ok, I get what you’re saying…..my guess is that by Tuesday he’ll on Tom Joyner’s show explaining the context and apologizing.

Now Chris Rock did his same bit on the whole “a black woman can’t be First Lady” at the Essence Festival – and I know I’m not stretching it when I say it wasn’t well received – at least not in the section I was in (or the surrounding ones) – folks actually GROANED…loudly.

In other words. I am not stretching. I’m asking when they say Mac made a joke about the “Women in the families” and “two hoes” which women was he talking about? And at a political fund raiser, does it matter? I don’t have to be dramatic, Bernie Mac took care of that for me.
