    I would like a further explanation of what, exactly, predjuice is?

    Yes, I think it does. It makes everyone a bit more grumpy.

    Racism isn't a one-way street, either.

    Maybe I missed something, but has Obama been "lynched in effigy" anywhere outside of Klan rallies, or Middle East protests?

    Your avatar is making me nervous. I think it might jump off the screen and mug me.

    Billy Ocean is from Trinidad, so he's not like the "those people" we have in this country, with the baggy pants and the rap music, so you're safe.

    I wouldn't disqualify anyone from being president -- or anything else -- based on their religion. Mormon, Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, whatever. If you can snicker enough people into voting for you, so be it.

    Even a Muslim born in Kenya can be President.

    This dovetails nicely with the genius ex-coworker this morning who couldn't understand why the Facebook photo of her very white friend painted as Carlton Banks was not a good plan.

    Is this a trend? Dressing up as your favorite, former SportsJournalists.com poster for Halloween?

    If so, I'm totally going as Fenian.

    Man you ain't gotta
    Worry 'bout a thing
    'Bout your daughter
    Nah she ain't my type
    (But supposin' she said she loved me)
    Are you afraid of the mix of Black and White
    We're livin' in a land where
    The law say the mixing of race
    Makes the blood impure
    She's a woman I'm a man
    But by the look on your face
    See ya can't stand it

    Man calm your ass down don't get mad
    I don't your sistah
    (But supposin' she said she loved me)
    Would you still love her
    Or would you dismiss her
    What is pure? Who is pure?
    Is it European state of being, I'm not sure
    If the whole world was to come
    Thru peace and love
    Then what would we made of?

    Excuse us for the news
    You might not be amused
    But did you know white comes from Black
    No need to be confused

    Excuse us for the news
    I question those accused
    Why is this fear of Black from White
    Influence who you choose?

    Man c'mon now, I don't want your wife
    Stop screamin' it's not the end of your life
    (But supposin' she said she loved me)
    What's wrong with some color in your family tree
    I don't know

    I'm just a rhyme sayer
    Skins protected 'gainst the ozone layers
    Breakdown 2001
    Might be best to be Black
    Or just Brown countdown

    I've been wonderin' why
    People livin' in fear
    Of my shade
    (Or my hi top fade)
    I'm not the one that's runnin'
    But they got me one the run
    Treat me like I have a gun
    All I got is genes and chromosomes
    Consider me Black to the bone
    All I want is peace and love
    On this planet
    (Ain't that how God planned it?)

    Excuse us for the news
    You might not be amused
    But did you know White comes from Black
    No need to be confused

    Excuse us for the news
    I question those accused
    Why is this fear of Black from White
    Influence who you choose?
