Barack Obama on Drugs
Democratic Jr Senator (IL); previously State Senator




"Understand why youngsters want to use drugs
Junkie. That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn't been about me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate's sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you'd met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl. You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection. And if the high didn't solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world's ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and bullshit and cheap moralism.

This is the kind of bullshit African Americans have to endure from some people at GrassCity. It's kinda funny though with all the avatars and sigs with blacks in them around here you'd think someone would stand up against shit like this, but I guess it would be too much trouble. I was writing a thread about Barack Obama and whether a black President was possible, but based on the astonishing lack of indignation I guess I got my answer.

Peace.

I'm quite shocked at the post (the part that AK quoted) as well as the lack of indignation, as well. This is not welcome at Grasscity. We're too diverse to accept this. What's happened to mutual respect?
