Dad29: The Obama Translation of Ps. 46

Monday, September 12, 2011

Well, there's King James, the NAB, the NRSV, the Jerusalem....

And now there's the Obozo.

What a maroon.

Anonymous said...: Maroons (from the word marronage or American/Spanish cimarrón: "fugitive, runaway", lit. "living on mountaintops"; from Spanish cima: "top, summit") were runaway slaves in the West Indies, Central America, South America, and North America, who formed independent settlements together. The same designation has also become a derivation for the verb marooning.; 9/12/2011 7:57 AM

Recently, it's become a synonym for moron.

Colloquialism, you know.; 9/12/2011 8:34 AM

That was truly an awful reading. Clipped, emotionless, gaffes. Ugh.; 9/12/2011 10:01 AM

If you want to take the third most used definition of anything, I'm sure you can locate some sort of racist intent. Like, "Anony is a Dick". I you look deeply enough, I imagine you will find a slave owner who referred to one of his slaves as "Dick".

Racism, straight up!; 9/12/2011 6:50 PM
