America is not in a post racial phase.
It's 2025 and after seeing so much change and advancement over the years, especially regarding race here in the US, I thought I had gotten to the point where nothing would shock me.
How wrong I was.
Imagine how I felt reading a comment from a supposedly educated man where the term pickaninny was used to describe black people. not once, but a number of times.
Just in case anyone is wondering, the term is a patently offensive, derogatory and racially charged word, akin to using ni**er. Why anyone would use such a term to describe people today is beyond me. Civilized people should be appalled when it is used as a descriptor of a fellow human being, created as a majority of the world believes, in the image of God.
But it gets worse.
Because not only did no one call him out on the offensiveness of the term, it was even applauded by the hosting blogger.
This is why we can't have nice things in America. Because there are still so many people who know certain terms are offensive, yet persist in their usage uncaring about the hurt it inflicts on others.
And lest any be confused, the people who use terms like this typically argue that we've overcome our race problems in this country.
Sadly, their words, the evidence and their hearts say otherwise.

Dave did NOT ask me to post where this racist term was used and published; but since this is my blog, I choose to publish it here to show Dave's claim is authentic and to call out Americans who believe it is still okay to demean people through racial slurs. It's not. It's wrong. It's disgusting.
Voting is a responsibility of the states. If you have a state plagued by the cancer of stupidity, don’t expect any changes in how the state conducts its business. California is one of those states, but not the only one.
As Joe said, fraud is a primary feature of the progressive/communist party, not a by-product.
I maintain that slavery still exists, but in a different form. Today, it is possible to keep the Pickaninny’s on the plantation by promising them goodies in exchange for their votes — no one thinks anything of it. But it is slavery, and all it’s cracked up to be. In this sense, the Pickaninny’s don’t have to be blacks. The Democratic Party mirrors its counterpart in their mother country — Коммунистическая партия (Коммунисты России) — where only the inner circle benefits from any of its policies and programs, but they do have a great public relations program. One should also note that this filth has been going on now since the in-your-face racism of the Wilson Administration.
This Sam character appears to be angry and woefully misguided. Trumpers usually are.
