"Who let the dogs out"
"Woof woof"
"I see you have some bling bling"
To me, this is worse than some golf channel bimbo asking for Tiger to be lynched.
I can deal with the "I will lynch you" brand of racism but I can't tolerate that Mitt Romney brand of racism where all black people are fucking snippets of a rap video who do nothing more than wear baggy pants, say "Yo's!" and "Raise the roof!'s"
Not only are the references casually racist, they are dated.
Bling bling and "Who let the dogs out?" are from the 1990's.
At least the motherfucker could have said "Who Superman'd that ho?!"
In direct contrast to this simplistic casual racism, the Washington Post has launched a new site called the Root (www.theroot.com) that examines blackness in all its complexity.
It is launching with this video series about black celebrities and their ancestry.
Peep Chris Rock getting emotional after discovering his super great grandfather fought for the Union in the Civil War.
Powerful stuff.
Be sure to watch the video with Morgan Freedman discovering that his possibly raped great grandmother lived with and was buried with the father of her children and the other video of Don Cheadle discovering his family was enslaved by Native Americans.
I need to do one of these genealogy tests quick fast and figure out where the fuck I came from.
