I broke the code when he used anger twice, too. UPDATED WITH RIGHTEOUS ANGER!
What a dead giveaway. Anger. Anger. Totally code for black. Just like when Joe Wilson shouted, "You lie!" He might as well have added, "boy!" Everyone KNEW that's what he meant. At least, everyone in the media, and they are the only ones who count because they are the ones who tell us what to think.
It was just like saying, "...they'll put y'all back in chains."
You'd have to be racist not to understand how racist using the word "anger" is, y'all.

No words. This lovely young woman has them all.
On a tip from TOP NOTCH Commenter, RG. Thanks, man.
"Angry black man that we've been taught to fear"? I missed those classes. That guy should take a look at a calendar sometime, his worldview is older than he is.
As I watch this play out, it occurs to me that you never hear "Angry Mexican Man".
Or "Angry White Woman". It just sounds funny saying it.
But "angry black man" and "angry white man" have become almost natural for these assholes to throw around, as though the descriptors have some meaning.
I really detest Toure, by the way. He's a fool and a racemonger. Did you see what Ace did to him on Twitter yesterday? It was magnificent.
I wasn't on Twitter. I'll have to go through the threads and get caught up. I love Ace. He is the quintessential smart ass.
Toure is seriously off his meds. And what all these hysterical, panty-wadding, heaving-bosom screams of racism are really doing is creating an environment where the conservative is FINALLY free of the guilt thrown at them because they are CONSERVATIVE and not because of their actions or prejudices. I'm sure there are racist conservatives; I'm just as sure there are racist liberals. But there has been a pretty wide net that's been thrown over conservative beliefs for far too long and this insanity has finally -- hopefully -- given conservatives permission to say, "Fuck off. I don't give a shit what color you are. This is about ideas. Period."
I agree - I think they've overplayed the race card so much that it has lost most of its power. I think by the end of this election it will have lost all of it.
And it's kind of sad because like you said, there are REAL racists out there, on both sides. But they'll end up getting a free pass if this word loses all meaning. It's the same way "nazi" has pretty much lost its effect, to the great shame of western civilization.
For Ace's hilarious performance, go here and scroll about halfway down:
Bottom comment in the Twitchy thread of Ace's remarks:
***Somebody’d better hose Touré down after all that burnage! Touré may be the first person ever to suffer from Twit-lash. And it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.***
It's really conspiracy theory crackpottery. Whites all use secret code words and dog whistles to coordinate keeping the black man down. The same way the CIA secretly created AIDS to kill off black people. It'd be laughable if so many people didn't fall for it.
That made me laugh hysterically!!! At a little lake here in the woods where we live, there is a campground. As you leave, the road has those same kind of signs telling you to come back and hoping you had a good time. It's so sweetly old-fashioned. I just LOVE it.
Whew. So glad you liked it. I did that and then I thought, how many people even know about those signs anymore? That's what happens when you combine, Twitter, the old music I've been listening to, and a mind full of odds and ends like an old attic.
I've been listening to Benny Goodman, and I saw in the list of tracks that it said "Instrumental Version" for that one. Wondered what vocals could go with it and after hearing that got a bunch of Ella. I don't think it's possible for me to listen to Ella & Louis Armstrong singing without relaxing. Had just a bit of a smile on my face the whole night.
There's something about the tempo and the layers of music in Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing" that I enjoy immensely.

So, thanks, Toure. You've been a big help.

DeleteElla Fitzgerald is one of the most incredible singers who ever lived. Amazing vocals. Just wow.
