I'm inclined to see both parts of this situation from what seems to be the contrary side.

I think the "you lie" was choreographed.

Our sheeple population, as high school students, would call friends before the start of the school year to find out what name brand clothing "we like", and what bands "we like" to be in sync with what everyone else at school would approve. They are now "the constituents". Respectful silence followed by a standing ovation at the end of a great speech could have told the sheeple what "we" all have decided we think.

Heck, look at the reported rise in support after the Prez gave a speech totally devoid of an actual plan.

I think it *had* to be done.

And, I don't see black outrage. I see another training session for "non-minorities". Have a disagreement or problem with someone of a "non-african" background, and it's over when it's over.

However, that one group has organized, united and acts as an "opponent" force. I've spent many years in an environment (DA Civilian) where the approach of managers to settling employee problems was pretty fair and straightforward. However, I've heard (and said myself), "OK, just *please* tell me that none of them were black."

Getting "Sharptoned" has become a verb here.

Even Imus and that Bad-a**ed Bounty Hunter have learned their lesson.

Don't displease a black person. And we, the sheeple, have learned to talk back about as much as we did when Dad reached for his belt.

OK, maybe I'm just having a cynical day.....
