I do my best not to paint everything that goes wrong in America with the "colour" brush, but you all make that a VERY hard thing not to do. This latest example of idiocy, ignorance and yes, bigotry, illustrates that America, and the world, still has a very long road to get to racial tolerance.
Part of the reason I place the race card on this is because they idiots did not make a claim against HIV or AIDS existing as a whole, just that this one person, who happens to be a black man, faked having the disease. FAKED having a disease that has a stigma higher than being a leper. FAKED having a disease that would make him both black and untouchable; a double whammy. FAKED having a disease so he, a former poor black man, would be force to leave his multimillion dollar career and endorsement bankroll.
If they thought about it for a second, no formerly poor black person in America is going to voluntarily become poor again. I don't see Cosby, Oprah, Russell Simmons, Jay-Z or any other rich black person actively working to sabotage themselves so that they can become poor again. And they certainly are not disclosing so much as having the common cold much less one of the world's most deadliest, uncurable diseases.
Like Magic, i don't want these idiots fired either. I want them to have to do the PSAs themselves. I want them to have to do fundraisers and public statements and to go into schools and preach about how doing stupid shit like they did is wrong. And when all of that becomes too much to handle, I want their stupid asses to quit in shame and disgrace and to never be heard from again.
Ciao.
