• An Effete Liberal's Worse Nightmare – Ta-Nehisi Coates
  '… were running around parroting that Menace II Society line, I'm white America's worst nightmare: Young, black and just don't give a fuck. I was kid, but even then I used to think, No you're not. You're your momma's worse nightmare. You're your next-door neighbors worse nightmare. White people got expensive jails and cheap graves for niggers like you.

  I mean, I guess some substantial portion of white people were afraid–but these fools were confusing white fear with some kind of actual black power. This was false for many reasons, among them, many people who weren't white were also afraid, and generally acted accordingly. Likewise, Palin's base confuses "liberal fear" with some kind of populist power, by ignoring the fact that a lot of people who want nothing to do with us pinkos, are afraid of Palin too.

  People misunderstand fear. It doesn't always cause your foes to cower in a corner. Sometimes it causes them to beat the crap out of you with a bag of rusty nails.'
