I’m a young black woman. Always feel I should mention that since my perspective Is different than other ethnic groups.
Personally I think the Obama girls are precious! And..WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH WEARING A PEACE SYMBOL? If any other ethnic group criticizes this..well..be real people..don’t you think her race is influencing your criticism? If one of the Bush girls wore a peace symbol, you’be murmering,”Oh! That’s cute!”
The Obama girls receive excellent grades in school, have conducted themselves Like Total Ladies in public, dress Beautifully thanks to Michelle’s sense of fashion. Personally I think the Obama ladies (all of them) are the classiest thing to hit DC in a Long time. It sure makes me proud to have them represent black women. What more do you want from them?
A Peace Symbol means such that…a wish, a respect for, a longing for, a reverence for PEACE. And you’re disputing that? Calm down and Think People! Please.
There’s an old saying,”Pick Your Fights Carefully” which means don’t complain about Everything. Just kick up a fuss about the really important stuff. This is true in all human relationships. It calls to mind the nagging wife..she drives her husband crazy about every little friggin’ thing..until he just stops listening for his own sanity. Thanks For Reading.

LOL… I didn’t even see Sonya7’s first two posts. And, no, I don’t “know” or remember Sonya7 from JackandJillPolitics or any other blog/board on the web.

I don’t know what you’re calling a “thread” but the links and stating your purpose, beside flattery, would be helpful. Otherwise….

Oh now please. please!
NQUEST was the one who stated: “Me, I just happen to have INTELLECT.” I guess I assumed you read the works I mentioned. I suppose my definition of an intellectual takes in a little more territory than yours. My apologies.
By the way, when people are uncomfortable or feel threatened in a situation because of their lack of knowledge of what’s being referenced…they laugh. They don’t know what else to do and it derails the issues. You can look up the study in “Harlon and Kepleman”: Laughter as a Means to Relieve Tension. It’s in the book: Issues in Social Psychology, Random House, 1999.
Not that I’m suggesting you feel threatened. Is it because I’m a woman? Again I know NQUEST is male, macon d I don’t know..if you’re a guy..is my gender influencing your laughter? Why shouldn’t a woman be well-read?
The fact that I’m black should not be a factor here..although I mention it only to let you know I can resonate with the “Rapacious Conflict” that Thomas Paine wrote regarding the oppressed.
Laugh all you want..I’ll just keep reading.
I thought if you respected anything on this thread it was knowledge gleaned from reading material. But..that’s fine.
NQuest refered to me as an “unknown” person. You mean you “know” macon d? How? Through this thread?
Actually, internet “friendships” are based solely on impressions any given person allows you to experience. It’s a fallacy to believe you “know” anyone you’ve had discussions with on the net. You know very little about them. But if this is the Harvard Club and I just walked in during Cocktail Hour..I think I’ll take a seat. “Vodka Rocks please.” I feel so-o–o-o-o comfy!

“the gut-chuckles”!

Thanks Nquest, that’s a wonderful description. In fact, I think it’s inspired me into having a fit of them right now.

Okay, back to the regularly scheduled “’surround and conquer’ approaches to Mass Persuasion.”

Sonya7, all you get are laughs from me. Unknown people going out of their way to flatter me give me the gut-chuckles.

[...] Regina Benjamin looks like an amazing addition to Obama’s administration. I’m sure this is irritating the racist right, who can’t even handle the Obamas’ having black children. [...]

To NQUEST:
I do need to add that “cordoning off and labeling” is an antiquated term {at least the way in which it’s used in your contextual arena}. We are all familiar with Lloyds “Population Management Strategies in a Racist Ethnocentric Sedimentic”. I’m sure you’ve read it.
The sediment I am referring to is Plenty of Fertilizer {lol} for extrapolating on Gilman’s “Life in the Urban White Matrix”. I’m sure you’ve read this too.
Speaking of matrix, how about that that thread regarding Leonides’ theories applied to White Flight. Isn’t he a bit “too adamant” about the rationale for capitulation to the schematics of correctionalism. I mean, to quote the Bard, “I think the Lady Protesteth Too Much”. LOL. Right?
I find it entertaining also, how in the visual/non tactile world of the net too..there are hierachies within a thread. Some people try to practice non-interactive invasive strategies and others endeavor to practice clandestine {though equally virulent} mimics, if you will, of Socratic “surround and conquer” approaches to Mass Persuasion.
I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this!
