I just finished reading an article where an attempt to measure the possible effects of Race on the upcoming presidential elections. It generally showed there was a bias against Barack Obama because of his race. I sent a link to the article to a reader of Wack X and this was her response:
Wow! Just reading it pisses me off though. So forgive me and I hope I don’t offend anyone…….
No one wants to talk about race, I understand that, but who are these people that this article refers to, who are these people that think this? Where do they come from? I’m not naive enough to think that prejudice doesn’t exist…..but seeing in print as it relates to this election is frightening, though, obviously, it is on the minds of those who support Barack Obama.
Would you or I be the exception because we are not ‘lazy’, ‘violent’ or ‘un-intelligent’, or are we lumped into that category too, simply because our skin is a different color? I’ve come across this in some discussions - as if to justify why a person would vote (or not vote) for Obama….. He is not REALLY Black, because he is not ALL Black, after all he had a White mother. So the hell what!
That’s a subject for another day. But, it all goes to show that there are so many different attitudes about Blacks, multi-cultural, bi-racial. So, simply speaking, just how many and how much might those attitudes sway the election in favor of McSame and Bush in a Skirt, is anyone’s guess.

I just went into Mr. Q’s room to get him up after about a two and a half hour nap. He was awake half leaning against the wall, looking at me with an empty look as I walked in. I could immediately tell he was only half into reality. He seemed confused or rather his weird position in the bed and against the wall was a telltale sign something was not right.
Earlier today there was a problem with him eating. In fact everyday there is a problem with him and eating. He has, for all practical purposes, stopped eating by himself. Someone has had to feed him for at least the past two weeks - probably longer. Talking to the owner and also the primary caretaker she told me the other caretaker said Mr. Q wasn’t eating today and had refused virtually everything.
He has been acting the same way for a while and as a result he is rather weak. Well, the owner had to verify he wasn’t eating. After some slight preparation (cleaning his teeth, making him spit out all saliva, etc.) she started feeding him. She was amazed when he ate everything she fed him for lunch. Dementia or no, he was eating. That’s better than he had done for a while. Far better.
It’s hard to tell if his Alzheimer’s is causing his eating resistance or change of appetite from poor to terrible. Could be, or it could be just one of those moods he has that seems to last a while then just goes away or changes into some other habit.
