Pimptation's blog: "Random Musings and Filth!!!"

(The Jesus Horse is no more.) I love my white folks and I call out everyone equally on this blog, but I'm going to go out on a racist limb here and assume that the vast majority of people who gave a crap about Barbaro, the racehorse that was injured and eventually died and posted about it on the NY Times are white. Let me know if I'm wrong. I followed this story briefly when it broke months ago, but then I realized I was reading about a horse so I stopped. Now that the horse is finally dead, white people have lost there damn minds on the NY Times. I kept reading this shit hoping it was a joke. Peep this nonsense from the NY Times blog posting, 1. January 29th, 2007 9:08 pm I cried when I heard the news.It is so sad,Barbaro fought so hard to live and run as he did in the Kentcuky derby.The whole country adopted this horse. — Posted by mary weiner 2. January 29th, 2007 9:09 pm What a fighter he was. We can learn from the animals. — Posted by Jenney 3. January 29th, 2007 9:15 pm Many millions share the grief of the owners and the doctors who worked to save such a beautiful creature. He will be remembered. — Posted by Buck Rutledge 4. January 29th, 2007 9:16 pm Barbaro had become a national celebrity, with many of us rooting for him; he was such a spirited soul. Sad he had to be put down, but at least with horses there can be some euthanasia. The amount of money spent to save him, however, versus how much we put towards someone not independently wealthy, shows where our priorities have gone. I would guess a number of preschool centers could have been funded for the price. His “price” and treatment raises lots of ethical issues, not the least of which is sports betting,or even gambling, and those industries which exploit people and animals. Still, he had a good spirit, and I feel badly for the vets, trainers, jockeys and owners who I am sure were very attached. — Posted by Sally White 5. January 29th, 2007 9:19 pm Barbaro’s death deeply saddened me and my thoughts and prayers go out to his owners, the surgeon and medical staff who cared for him. Barbaro was a true champion in every sense of the word. He blessed us with his beauty and dignity and grace His spirit and will to live were truly inspirational.I held out hope that there would be a miracle and he would survive, despite the overwhelming odds against him. Animals teach us so much about life, love, compassion, kindness and responsibility. We are all interconnected in the web of life. May Barbaro rest in peace and may he continue to inspire us all. — Posted by Phyllis J. Silva And those are the restrained comments... What The Fuck? Can anyone explain this nonsense to me? Why are people crying their brains out over an unprocessed bottle of glue? What about Darfur? Sean Bell? Nixmary Brown? Cheryl Green, the 14 yr-old black girl that was murdered for stepping into a Mexican neighborhood? The close to a 100 U.S. troops that have died in January '07 alone not to mention the countless Iraqis civilians? Have people run out of issues to stress out over? Am I an evil puppy kicking bastard? Or have I completely missed the boat here?
