I'm a liberal blogger who publishes weekly. (Mondays) I almost went with the Blunt story last week until I had last-minute doubts about the context. This week I'm going to link to this post and summarize your point. So now are you going to explain to me why the Obama-witch-doctor photo isn't racist? Thanks for this.

Wow, the story is about a shit load of white a-holes in a country full of brown people; the white guys are bored and carve a golf course out of the uncivilized natives and are bothered by monkeys. The moral of the story is you play the ball where the monkey throws it. and this is what it is like in DC. You honestly do not see anything just completely wrong with the whole story? What was the purpose of the story - explain the parable to me please in a way that reflects well on Blunt. You don’t see the multiple levels of racism in the story?
