I couldn't finish that previous post for mere tiredness and never got back to it, very disappointing because I did have lots of ideas about how I wanted to pursue the subject and now it's just gone. For now anyway. Then recently I thought I was oingf ro have to do a post against a couple of conservative talkers who went over a line, but now I'm glad I've gone past that one too. I'll just mention that this was Rich Valdes, a radio talk show guy I don't herar very often so I really don't know jhow solid his conservativism really is, and Glenn loury who has become a sort of hero for me and now may be losing that status,. Valdes actually said that yes we do seem to be a two or three tier justice system these days but he considers that to be something we can't overcome because it's just so understandable that if a cop stops a guy for a traffic violation and finds out he's from a welthy prominent family it's only natural that he'd want to show respect and give the guy a break. I was flabvergasted. Isn't that the whole basis of our notion of blind lady justice? we don't see the differences in wealth and status of anyhone but only jutde the crime itself apart from all that? Valdes was instantly emotied to I don't know what. GFo learn something about justice and about American history, man. And then Loury and his frequent talking partner McWhorter indulged in some locker room talk that rather shocked me, but I was more shocked at my being shocked than just sohocked itself. It too mek me a few days to get through a lot of confusion about why I should have been so sohocked, don't guys just indulge in locker frroom terminology from time to time and how could that affect me so much? What's wrong with me anyway? And all that. And I went through layers of questions aboug the fact that they are balack guys and I've occasionally heard them complain rather mildly but still complain that it bothers them that they have a lot of conservative white fans. So I'm a conservative white fan and I could almost say I took that locker room blurt personally as a somplaint against my being a fan. Weird I know and that was just one of my mamny confused thgouths. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Why had this mattered so much to me? Why was I so offended when I shouldn't be and all that. then a few days later I woke up just knowing that what they waid WAS offensive. Nob ody should talk like that in public. Yeah the media went ouf ot ehri way to make public Trumjp's locker room talk incident that was in private. That's different. this was out there for eeyrone to hear. No, not good. Bad taste, Morally offensive. Apologize, repemnjt, that's what they shoujld do.
So now I've wasted all that time when I started this with a completley different topic in mind. Loury is talking with a black lady I've never been aware of before and I love her to piecesw. Carol Sewain . She's .... now I'm getting tired again. Drat. She's going to vote for Trump again she says and she has all ghe right reasons for that. She sees his flaws b ut she sees also that he's the best for the cxountry and that includes black peop[le. that's all I'm up to saying. Sorry.
