Historic moment for US

America is making history today. This is a great moment for America. It certainly shows how much progress & change that have happened since the racial tensions of the past. It is still pretty unbelievable that this can happen what with all the stereotypes about race that is still peddled thru the media. I think there’s a very high possibility that he’ll be the most powerful black man on earth. You can’t help but like this guy especially after all the redneck idiocy demonstrated by Bush and cronies.

China Earthquake Karma

Another one that’s sure to fire up nationalist, fist-pounding reactions from the Chinese. Here Sharon Stone talks about the tragic Sichuan earthquake a karma for mistreatment of Tibetans. Again the same old theme of Western “free speech” “We are on moral high ground” attitudes clashing with the Chinese “We are a great nation” and “Don’t tell us what’s wrong, you hyprocrite” sentiment. Mind you, this is not just an official Chinese government thing but it’s just stuff like that that makes the Chinese man-in-the-street unite with their so-called dreaded government. Notice that they just conveniently ignore Ms Stone’s more conciliatory tone about Tibetans desire to help even when they’re being shitted upon. But Stone is really off the mark using this tragic episode that has claimed 67000 lives and counting to bash China. This is a prime example of Americans living in their ivory tower of self-righteousness when they don’t really understand the magnitude of what they’re saying. So can Hurricane Katrina be the karma of the American invasion of Iraq ? When will the deserved karma descend on America after all the havoc it has wreaked on people’s lives in the Middle East ?
