Outraged by fake "news" story

[Clinton]

Found via Snopes:

(DETROIT) In a decision that’s expected to send shockwaves through the African-American community—and yet, give much relief to teachers everywhere—a federal judge ruled today that black women no longer have independent naming rights for their children. Too many black children—and many adults—bear names that border on not even being words, he said.

So it’s okay for white people to name their child apple, hopper, kyd, suri and rocket? Do you want me to continue? I love my name and I get a lot of compliments from all races. For a Judge to tell me that I can’t name my child because I’m a poor black mother, that’s ridiculous!!! So what about the rich white people who are naming their child(ren) crazy names like Moon Unit, Moxie CrimeFighter, etc., are you going to stop them from naming their child(ren) too? If you want to do it for one race, you have to do it for all.

Uh oh! Look what happened:

(Washington, DC) Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is demanding the dismissal of U.S. Federal Court Judge Ryan Cabrera.

“I am outraged that Cabrera has issued a ruling designed to minimize black women’s creativity when naming their children,” says Rice. “Having a unique name is a blessing. I might not have gotten as far as I have without the extra e and z in my name.”

In reading the comments on that site I am left wondering if those people leaving comments work for the site or are just really stupid and don't know the whole thing is a joke.

I think it's just a whole bunch of knee-jerk reactions. Someone gets a link in an email, goes and reads it, and immediately goes ballistic with no thought given to how ridiculous the whole thing is.

Yea, we are a state of controversy. They just tagged the Mayor fo Detroit and his mistress with 12 counts of Federal offences.

He is a real peice of work. And still refuses to give up the office. The evidence they have on him is without any loop holes to slip through. It is documented from the previous court case.

He is an arrogant peice of work.

It might all depend on HIS definition of a "romantic affair" or "romantic relationship".:grin:
