(Picture caption from MSNBC) Rachael Maddow Show with Rand Paul

I wanted to send this out to my homeys, or is it posses? Oh, I forgot the slang. Even when I was living on the southside of Chicago, I was laughed at by my brothers and sisters on the language of the day. (They stated I wasn’t black enough) Yes, I’m a geek! Deal with it! As a part Native American and Black, can’t we just get alone?

But this got me thinking, as I’m also doing a very big story, in July on racism in America! Oh, the things I’m finding out I never knew! Speaking of racism, did anyone check out Rachel Maddow brilliant interview with Rand Paul on perhaps letting the private sector get their 1950′s mentality back, on who can come in and who’s allowed at the diner counter. Oh, welcome to the Obama years in America!

As a person who lived in Japan for two years, I have my own thoughts on this commercial, but for right now, it’s not about me—but you. Take the poll! Side note: I do love those cute kiddies.
