re: #148 Glenn Beck’s Grand Unifying Theory of Obdicut

I have an older black friend, with a, therefore, older dad (stick with me now) who is pro-segregation, against blacks and whites marrying, etc. Some local nutjobby media got ahold of this, and did an interview with him. What they weren’t expecting was that he was in favor of segregation because he goddamn hated white people, didn’t trust them at all, and wanted an independent black nation. Then they tried to get him to say he wanted a violent uprising, but he quite calmly said the only way to achieve this real segregation would have been through white people actually upholding the ‘equal’ bit in separate but equal, so if the white racists were angry about race-mixing they ought to be angry at themselves for creating the conditions that allowed it.

He is a weird and interesting guy, and apparently just being Jewish is enough to make me ‘not-white’ in his eyes so I’ve gotten to hang out with him. He also had his kneecap smashed by some white supremacist long ago and wears confederate socks so he can step on that flag every day.

BTW I must thank you for alerting me to Walter Moseley’s Easy Rawlins novels. I’m now on “Big Bad Brawly Brown.” My only complaint is that they are more like novellas than full size novels.
