Did any else enjoy Colbert ripping on Laura Ingraham over her stupid book on last night's Colbert Report? He really nailed her on this remark.

Colbert: Listen to what he says about his wife! Obama writes about Michelle’s daily food intake. He says "Michelle’s lunch was baby back ribs. Afternoon snack, more ribs. Bedtime snack, the last three ribs!" I thought it was supposed to be a post-racial America! Obama is making the most hideous, hackneyed racial stereotypes in here!”

It bothers me how much she is profiting so much on something that is more or less a poorly written blog in book form.

[Anonymous No.1005861]

from the prison notebooks:
One further henomenon in the United States is worth studying, and that is the formation of a surprising number of negro intellectuals who absorb American culture and technology. It is worth bearing in mind the indirect influence that these negro intellectuals could exercise on the backward masses in Africa, and indeed direct influence if one or other of these hypotheses were ever to be verified:
1.that American expansionism should use American negroes as it's agents in the conquest of the African market and the extension of American civilisation (something of the kind has already happened, but I don't know to what extent); 2. that the struggle for the unification of the American people should intensify in such a way as to provoke a negro exodus and the return to Africa of the most independent and energetic intellectual elements, the ones, in other words, who would be least inclined to submit to some possible future legislation that was even more humiliating than are the present widespread social customs.

[Anonymous No.1005866]

This development would give rise to two fundamental questions: 1. linguistic: whether English could become the educated language of Africa, bringing unity in the place of the existing swarm of dialects? 2. whether this intellectual stratum could have sufficient assimilating and organising capacity to give a "national" character to the present primitive sentiment of being despised race, thus giving the African continent a mything function as the common fatherland of all the negro peoples? It seems to me that, for the moment, American negroes have a national and racial spirit which is negative rather than positive, one which is a product of the struggle carried on by the whites in order to isolate and depress them. But was not this the case with the jews to and throughout the eighteenth century? Liberia, already Americanised and with English as it's official language, could become the Zion of American negroes, with a tendency to to setiself up as an African Piedmont.

end of quotation.
american capitalism has done a pretty good job out of surpressing socialist sentiments in the negro masses replacing them with a negro nationalism. obama was put in power together with rising interest to develope african oil by us-american companies.

>I thought Obama was smart and educated but this diary is the most poorly written, cliche-riddled thing I've ever read.

>It's amazing how the Obama presented in his diary lines up with how the conservative right is attempting to portray him!

Colbert tore her to shreds.

As a rule I tend to avoid books with a smug, supercilious photo of the author on the front cover, because more often than not the book itself is a piece of shit.

Unless it's something like an Everyman Hardback edition.

That was a hilarious interview, she was visibly embarrassed.

Publishers like this will often buy mass copies of the book to get themselves on the list.

I know that sounds all tin-foil hatty, but Palin did it.

who could Gramsci have been referring to in his parenthetical, anon muses? regardless, thank you, kindly.

Know it doesn't sound like a tin-foil hat conspiracy.

The same thing happens in the music industry.

Yeah he said it right before they ended the interview so you could tell that he really hates her guts. I didn't know about Ingraham-Olbermann before yesterday though. I'm surprised they let her on Fox News premises knowing she has been stained by his liberal seed.

What I don't get, is why is this considered non-fiction?

[FAGGATRON_3000 !U0FKfqmRjs No.1006151]

Isn't she part of Fox's brigade of softcore porn actors?

Why would ANYONE take her writing seriously?
