Not to go all Bill Maher New Rules on you, but here's a simple rule of thumb. If you claim to care about the Constitution and still have a problem with building a mosque in lower Manhattan, than you are an asshole. That's all there is to it.

Get riled up about something that matters.

Just so we're clear, Dr. Laura Schlessinger is resigning because she can't say "nigger" on the radio without people getting upset. Somehow she's conflated that with some sort of First Amendment infringement, but then again she's not smart so we're not surprised by any of what's transpired.

Good riddance.

At a Pennsylvania church fair there was a shooting game where contestants could fire at the likeness of a black president holding a health bill. Again -- church fair. But there's not an element of crazy racism underlying it I'm sure. None at all.

More cheery news from the Dirty Dirty as a new study finds blacks being excluded from jury participation.

A study conducted by the Equal Justice Initiative has found that Blacks' exclusion from sitting on southern juries is a practice that remains in vogue and unchecked...

While jury makeup varies widely by jurisdiction, the organization, which studied eight Southern states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee — found areas in all of them where significant problems persist. In Alabama, courts have found racially discriminatory jury selection in 25 death penalty cases since 1987, and there are counties where more than 75 percent of black jury pool members have been struck in death penalty cases.

There's probably no one on the planet who more wishes that Chappelle had a show than John Mayer. Maybe then he'd be able to get his "hood pass" back. It's what got for him in the first place.

We never did get the whole John Mayer thing.

PLAYBOY: If you didn't know you, would you think you're a douche bag?

MAYER: It depends on what I picked up. My two biggest hits are "Your Body Is a Wonderland" and "Daughters." If you think those songs are pandering, then you’ll think I’m a douche bag. It's like I come on very strong. I am a very...I'm just very. V-E-R-Y. And if you can't handle very, then I'm a douche bag. But I think the world needs a little very. That’s why black people love me.

PLAYBOY: Because you're very?

MAYER: Someone asked me the other day, "What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?" And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, "I can’t really have a hood pass. I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'"

PLAYBOY: It is true; a lot of rappers love you. You recorded with Common and Kanye West, played live with Jay-Z.

MAYER: What is being black? It’s making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that’s seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you'll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude's.

PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?

MAYER: I don't think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a fuckin' David Duke cock. I'm going to start dating separately from my dick.

So an HBCU freely and fairly elects its first non-black Miss Hampton resulting in some unhappy negroes.

And, of course, some who take it in stride.

This is nothing to be upset about.  Things are changing people.  No one has a permanent hold on any office or title now -- and that's the way it should be.  This shouldn't have to be said to black people, particularly in light of the recent tone and tenor of the "tea party" protests.

The Christian Science Monitor is calling a recent Facebook poll asking whether the president should be killed a sign of antigovernment anger.  Yeah, we're sure it has nothing to do with the president being black.  Nothing at all.  That's why you see shit like what's below, right?

Kudos to the Republicans and the Political Right for FINALLY coming out against racism.

Why is the Index up, you might ask?  Because we just love us some irony.

I have a feeling we've finally got the right people on the job.  If anything they'll put and end to racism simply be referring to any and all behavior as racist -- rendering our country's dark stain a legacy of the past.

Kudos to the Delaware Department of Transportation for covering its ass... er, I mean, putting out a handy diversity memo highlighting "workplace faux pas".  We needed a good laugh.

Thank you gawker.com

The report advises employees to stay clear of statements such as:

• Should we order fried chicken or watermelon for you? 
  

• I am not prejudiced against black people, my neighbors are black. 
  

All that's missing such gems as: "Is it true what they say about black guys", "Can I touch your hair?" and, a personal favorite, "Hey, you're from Philadelphia, do you know Will Smith?

The scary thing, though, is that there are people who really do need to be told this kind of stuff.

Sigh
