Today I got the following blog comment:
Stephanie Posit said:
"I'll be honest, I didn't vote for Obama. I think most of them are giant lying bags of douche.... Sorry... but I do: on *both* sides of the aisle."
You are so ignorant. Typical white trash, not all black people are threatening or lying douche bags. Lemme guess, you live in a small town in the South? I pray that in 15-20 years, your daughter will bring home a black man that she has falling in love with.
You're an idiot, no wonder your husband left you. That 22 year old, showed signs of intelligence, and probably had an open mind.
Again your an idiotic fool, no man would put up with your stupidity.

Hmm...... I quickly re-read my post looking to see if my message wasn't clearly stated. I felt it was.
Then I looked at the IP address of Ms. Posit and noticed that she lives in Canada.
Oh, Canada.
If I may, Ms. Posit, the section of the post you quoted and shared, is a common saying that refers to our political party system, as according to Wikipedia, let me elaborate:
Aisle (political term)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S. House of Representatives is divided by several aisles
In the United States, the two major political parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, are often referred to as "the two sides of the aisle."
[edit]Origin of the usageUsage of the term "aisle" comes from the United States Congress. In the Senate, desks are arranged in the chamber in a semicircular pattern and the desks are divided by a wide central aisle. By tradition, Democrats sit on the right of the center aisle (as viewed from the presiding officer's chair) while Republicans sit on the left. Unlike in the Senate, there are no assigned desks in the House of Representatives chamber, but as in the Senate, Democrats sit on the right of the center aisle (as viewed from the presiding officer's chair) while Republicans sit on the left.[1]
A member of one party who votes for legislation supported by the other party and generally opposed by his own party is described as "crossing the aisle" (a similar phrase used in countries operating under the Westminster system, is "crossing the floor").
[edit]"Both sides of the aisle"A proposed law that has bipartisan support is said to be supported by both sides of the aisle.

When I wrote that "I think most of them are lying bags of douche.... Sorry but I do: on *both* sides of the aisle." - I was NOT in any WAY referring "African American people" - this is STRICTLY a political statement referring to the fact that I think POLITICIANS (the "Them") are lying bags of douche - regardless of the party they come from (both Republican or Democrat).
It appears that this is not a saying one uses in Canada.
Clearly.
Now. Let me address a few things for you.
Ms. Posit, when writing nasty statements about people, you should *try* to do your research first, otherwise you run the risk of looking like an ignorant, racist, idiot.
For one.... this Blog only exists because I made a sign to sell my home in Portland, Oregon. A quick search of Google and the THOUSANDS of returns will tell you that I'm in Oregon. I do not live in a small town... and last time I checked Oregon was NORTH WEST of the Mason Dixon line and most certainly not located in the "South".
Mind you.... that statement *alone* is incredibly racists and assumes the stereotype that all "white" people living in "small Southern" towns are racists and don't like 'black' people.... that would be fairly incorrect.
Another common American saying comes to mind here.... When you ASSUME, you make an ASS of U and ME. Just sayin'.
Sooo..... to recap - YOU, Ms. Posit, misunderstood a common American saying AND you failed to do your own homework about me.... which.... kinda makes *you* ignorant.
As for whether or not I'm "white trash".... well, I'm not so bothered about that. lol
Lastly...... it is *incredibly* racist of you to assert that you hope my "daughter brings home a black man". What the motherf*ck is wrong with you?
Let me be *crystal* clear.... EITHER of my children can bring home any of the following:
a man
a woman
a transgender male
a transgender female
an African American
an Englishman (especially if they happen to look anything like Edward)
an Irishman
a Scotsman
any flavor of European
an Asian
a Russian
an Australian
a Latino of any kind
an Eskimo
an Indian
a Native American Indian.....
are you getting my drift?
For instance, if my *daughter* comes home with a WOMAN who is also AFRICAN AMERICAN.... I will not have an issue with that. If she comes home with an African American MAN, I will be just as fine with that, too.
As I said in my blog post - I DO NOT teach my children *values* in terms of RACE OR GENDER - but instead, in humanity.
What I WILL NOT TOLERATE is them bringing home any of the following:
someone who is ignorant
someone who is rude
someone who is dishonest
someone who disrespects them
someone who cheats
someone who doesn't value them
someone who doesn't truly love them unconditionally for who they are
Hmm..... you'll notice I don't make any specifications about race or gender because.... and please - wait for it...... I don't f*cking care. lol
I put my efforts as a parent into raising *people* who are confident, who value themselves, who act in kindness and compassion and seek to find that in others. With whomever they find love - I will be grateful that they found love and embrace that person.
Yes.... even if they come from Canada and don't always understand American verbiage.
(just kidding.... seriously, I love Canada: you gave us William Shatner!)
One teeny-tiny last thing, Ms. Posit..... when you say "your an idiot", you mean to say "you're" - as in you are. When you write 'your' - that is not correct. However, when you say 'your stupidity' - that was used correctly.
Needless to say, I find it odd that you failed to read or comprehend the rest of the post where I make the argument that my beloved country is not nearly as far down the road to racial equality as it should be. The entire post was about how one child in the country grows up believing white women might be scared of him because of his skin color - while another of the same age and race can grow up in confidence to become the President. To me that demonstrates a gap in our society that *has* to be addressed by each of us in our own homes....
Ms. Posit, before you take the time to respond, you should try reading an entire post, first... because reading and taking one line of our context and then resorting to name calling and racism *is* the very definition of ignorant... and I for one - would rather be white trash than ignorant.
Just sayin'.......
