Mercy Buckets

Madame Levy makes a connection that I at once both admire and wish to slip under the electronic doorway of every damn blogger involved in, yes, The Big Stink of 07 (Is it too, too egoistic to snap yourself?)

I find it astounding that the whole internets gets up in arms when a Tony Robbins'-like (need I say White) blogger has a photo of a noose posted, not next to her head, but in the same post (as a political commentary motivated juxtaposition), And It Is Called A Death Threat And she is afraid to leave her yard. Meanwhile 3 Real Nooses are hung (in the real world, under a tree that some Black kids just received permission (!!?!) to sit around and talk under), and this is dismissed as a ‘harmless prank’.

Bunch a fuckin' hypocrites, my writing Id wants to say.

And since it is mostly her blog? I believe the sentiment shall stand.
