On a related note, I would like to thank Rush Limbaugh for thinking and speaking for me:
If you believe Rush Limbaugh, African-Americans are suffering from a collective malaise brought on by anger at President Obama's economic policies -- and the white women of the Tiger Woods scandal.
On Tuesday's edition of "The Rush Limbaugh Show," the right-wing radio firebrand sounded off on "the black frame of mind" and the disappointment he claims the African-American community feels toward the Obama presidency.
"The black frame of mind is terrible. They're depressed. They're down -- Obama's not doing anything for 'em. How is that hoax and change workin' for ya? They're all livid," Limbaugh said.
Blacks are "upset" and "feel abandoned" by Obama and, he added, "I'm sure Tiger Woods' choice of females [is] not helping 'em out with their attitudes there, either."
Truth be told, there are probably more white people who get truly bent out of shape when they see beautiful, young white women with a multi-ethnic Tiger, than black people who get truly upset at a multi-ethnic Tiger with white or other women.
Well, black men are probably less like to be upset about a black man with other women, but some black women have an under current of resentment about it.

I agree that there are many black women who don't like to see that, but to say depressed and other strong feelings is overstating it in my opinion. When it comes to having strong aversion to it, you have quite a few on the extreme side of white America who are almost sickened by the sight of a black man with a white woman.
I'm just saying that painting this broad brush stroke as to how this is affecting "the black mind" is just as wrong as using what I said to broad brush how "the white mind" is affected by this.

Stew, I listened to the clip and I know it is hard to believe but what he said and what he was talking about isn’t exactly what is being reported....
He first played a clip of Jessie Jackson then he pointed to several articles about "black unemployment".
His comments were directed at the liberal elites and their attitude toward black people.
He was not suggesting that all black people have the same frame of mind.
"The black frame of mind is terrible. They're depressed. They're down -- Obama's not doing anything for 'em. How is that hoax and change workin' for ya? They're all livid," Limbaugh said.
Blacks are "upset" and "feel abandoned" by Obama and, he added, "I'm sure Tiger Woods' choice of females [is] not helping 'em out with their attitudes there, either."
Ferd, I hear ya, but I think this speaks for itself...and speaks volumes.
At some point I think people are going to have to recognize that at least some of the criticism leveled at Rush when it comes to matters of race and race-baiting are warranted.

All I am saying is the quote picks up in the middle of a paragraph. One that is taking shots at the liberal elites who use race as a political weapon in general and Jessie Jackson in particular.
When he says that he is projecting their view of this "black frame of mind" not his own.
