Proof Positive for Taylr Mayd, a Second Response



Normally, I bring you my long rants only twice per month, but I think the recent election results in South Carolina garner a rant from everyone. Let us stop, first and foremost, "figuring out" Alvin Greene, the Democratic Senate nomination. Hell yes! He was paid and paid for. No doubt about it. As I watched this man, who obviously has some sort of mental deficiency, struggle through an interview with Keith Olbermann last night, I thought about Taylr Mayd. Do you all remember the commentary he made about the chicken? Remember where he took us? He implied that there was an underlying reason for the giving away of chicken, and how the media portrayed the people who were lined up to get this free chicken.


Now, no one wants to be labeled as a cooky conspiracy theorist. Nobody. But Taylr Mayd had a valid point. There is something sinister going on in this country with our symbolism. Someone is talking to someone else about the "place" of Black people. Mr. Greene (let us all pray for him), is clearly not cognizant of how he is being used. The man did no campaigning, no house visits, no townhall meetings, and no political rallies. Did I mention that he also raised no funds? None of the other Democrats in the state knew of this man. Yet, he won with 60% of the vote. As a matter of fact, he got more votes than were cast at several precincts. Let us top being political rat and call a buyout what it is. He's somebody's puppet.

But could it be more than that? Why this unemployed military veteran with obvious mental deficiencies? Why this BLACK, unemployed military veteran with obvious mental deficiencies? I've heard more than one Black person say that Michael Steele is a Republican puppet. But whether we agree with this assessment or not, we can all agree that Mr. Steele is very well-educated despite his many, many on-camera gaffs.

I can agree with Taylr Mayd about the power of images -very real images being shown on of Black people both domestically and internationally. When Black people are making so many inroads politically on both sides of the aisle, someone had to put us back in our place. Someone found the perfect Black male puppet to portray Black political leaders as inept and mentally incapable of leadership. Whoever put up the $10000 fee for Mr. Greene to enter the election should be prosecuted with all deliberate speed for purposefully attempting to murder the image of Black political leadership.

Oh, before I forget, let us look at how someone is also accusing President Obama of being an exra in "Whoop There It Is." Could the symbolic racism be any more overt?
