White People (Not Related To The Althouse Clan) Don't Understand The Black Protests Since "We're Happy!"

SantaCon 2014 by Gothamist

Living off of accumulated slavery money can really buoy your mood

Luckily, they didn't mention Amazon sales (or purchases) or if they thought protesters were picking on blacks and women in the past,...

The Shit Is As Thick As The Head (It's Coming Out Of)

Throwing the book at the lot of 'em

TNR,...used to be known as a liberal magazine that would question orthodox liberalism and conventional wisdom,...Lately it's become predictably liberal — I can't think of the last thing I've read in TNR that differs from "what you'd expect a generic liberal to say."

- John Althouse Cohen

The Libs scream about the Cons, the Cons scream about the Libs, and the rest of us - kept out of the conversation - just watch them play:

”If you're going to invoke a long tradition this way, you shouldn't cherry-pick. In its history, especially its recent history, The New Republic has also committed serious intellectual crimes against liberalism -- unless you consider racism, war-mongering, anti-Islamic prejudice and sophistry to be elements of liberal thought.”

Nope - these are white people, alone, doing what they do in public:

Let's not try to smear liberalism for it - blame yourselves,...

"You Don’t Have No Ankle, And You Can’t Walk": Part II

”Free black people grew, ate, and sold watermelons, and in doing so made the fruit a symbol of their freedom. Southern whites, threatened by blacks’ newfound freedom, responded by making the fruit a symbol of black people’s perceived uncleanliness, laziness, childishness, and unwanted public presence. This racist trope then exploded in American popular culture, becoming so pervasive that its historical origin became obscure,…”

Turning wine to water. Whites DO things to us. Damaging things. Long-lasting things that, because whites don't want them to (because whites don't want themselves to ever be told what to do) might never go away. America's history of white racism is centuries old, and only recently riding shotgun to the lying, white-picket-fence, Mom and apple pie narrative they're desperate to now maintain, with the psychological torture they claim to deplore. Their idiotic pride is such, they must never change, especially when wrong. "Massa" and "Miss Anne" must live.

“Even among these there are prejudices of which I as a Jew am clearly conscious, but they are unimportant in comparison with the attitude of the ‘Whites’ toward their fellow-citizens of darker complexion, particularly toward Negroes. The more I feel an American, the more this situation pains me. I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out.

I am firmly convinced that whoever believes [Negroes,...are not our equals in intelligence, sense of responsibility, and reliability] suffers from a fatal misconception. Your ancestors dragged these black people from their homes by force; and in the white man’s quest for wealth and an easy life they have been ruthlessly suppressed and exploited, degraded into slavery. The modern prejudice against Negroes is the result of the desire to maintain this unworthy condition.”

- Albert Einstein

I'm not sure why whites still believe they're fooling anyone, with their sick attempts to turn the oppressed into the oppressors, when we tell them - directly - it'll never work. We will press on. Until no one buys this bullshit but themselves:

"A lot of people have an impulse to be prejudiced. But at the same time, they're like almost everyone...in that they want to avoid being socially unacceptable. So they want to vent sexism and racism somehow — but only in ways that are considered socially acceptable. 

And how can one do that? It's obvious: by expressing sexism/racism against men and whites only. If they'd been born long ago, they might have vented against women or blacks instead. That's why when I hear people expressing shamelessly anti-man or anti-white views, it doesn't strike me as a dramatic improvement over the expression of anti-woman or anti-black view...."

- John Althouse Cohen

Very hard for people to get that nice, well-intentioned people are racist all the time.
— Ta-Nehisi Coates (@tanehisicoates) December 9, 2014

My taking conservatives seriously on race was a major mistake, because (among things) I found myself surrounded by people who openly ridicule blacks (after 400 years of openly ridiculing blacks) while admitting they go along with the most obviously trivialising racist tropes, like race as a "card" blacks play and historical Civil Rights figures being "hustlers". Whites, outnumbering blacks 6 to 1, are comfortable thinking they can wave their hands and declare reality (and morality) doesn’t exist except as they say. That it's normal to see a boy as a demon. That "loosies," or cigars, are crimes worthy of death. That they must rarely seek justice, stay as ignorant to history as their own bliss allows, and - because they're uncomfortable with the truth - stay so openly hostile they never have to hear a word of it. But we won't stop. We know this evil. Eric Garner’s “Please, just leave me alone” are words that could’ve been spoken by MLK.

”The differences in [Michael Brown and Eric Garner’s] cases are almost completely because of whites.

In both cases, nine in 10 African Americans say they disagree with the decision. Although just 25 percent of whites disagree with the decision in Ferguson, a majority (52 percent) disagree with the decision in Garner's case.”

No matter who is pulling the trigger, white America is killing black men. Not Democrats or Republicans (assisted by Libertarians) but the country itself. This is what it was made for.

But that's probably how it's going down,..

"You Don’t Have No Ankle, And You Can’t Walk": Part I

”TNR used to be my favorite magazine. I've been reading it since I was in high school. It played a significant role in teaching me how to write and how to think,…”

-John Althouse Cohen

”For most of its modern history, TNR has been an entirely white publication, which published stories confirming white people's worst instincts,…

…That white people—or any people—would be urged to such ignorance by their Harvard-bred intellectual leadership is deeply sad,…”

-Ta-Nehisi Coates

If, as Chris Rock said, these are "the nicest white people that America has ever produced," then we have a problem. I don't know how to talk to people who are this lost. Who pray to racist distraction over considering the substance of our lives. Who've "lost the plot," and in such a general way.

Note how closed minded my critics are tonight. They haven't wondered if maybe, just maybe, Obama is gay. And I'm the one that's a bigot?

— Charles C. Johnson (@ChuckCJohnson) December 3, 2014

Right now whites are mourning the death of The New Republic, a 100 year old magazine, with no blacks, that promoted racism - whites didn’t notice anything wrong.

1000s of Nazis were allowed to live in America, with Social Security included, while whites discriminated against American blacks up to and including raping and hanging - and it still hasn't occurred to the whites I know that juxtapositioning was wrong.

Blacks also weren't allowed to vote until 100 years after the laws were on the books - while white folks didn’t notice the wrong and even had to be urged, by MLK at his most eloquent, to see it.

And, today, Sean Hannity (as ignorant as the day is long) is "leading" televised conversations on race - and few whites see anything terribly wrong. They just don't see it.

I'm watching white men insisting, when they are falsely accused of rape by white women (Lena Dunham and Rolling Stone) it’s an outrage, while - historically - that's the reality white men and women have been foisting on black men for centuries. And they just don't see how they look as they battle and cry. They just don't see it.

The lynching photo on my last post went with a story about a white pr firm that didn't know the racist history behind the name they chose, "Strange Fruit." My last post was a reflection of my frustration: “I honestly don’t know what to say.” But then, I’m not a writer: I’m an artist-turned-blogger, trapped in a seemingly impossible situation created by others.

And so it'll go, until the whole God-damned bunch falls,...

How Do Whites Miss It? (Blacks React To TNR Furor)

My favorite thing about TNR: no black people. RIP
— Aminatou Sow (@aminatou) December 4, 2014

As I pointed out this morning, Ann Althouse and her lop-headed kid - as if on cue - are over there "bellyaching" about change.

Sorry whenever journos lose jobs, but some of us colored folk will always remember @tnr with mixed feelings.
— Ta-Nehisi Coates (@tanehisicoates) December 4, 2014

It's almost like the allure of white racist influence is now a scent they can smell, and hone in on, like a beacon.

@tanehisicoates Amen. Is there any world whiter than @tnr? Maybe the Washington Monthly?
— Lydia Polgreen (@lpolgreen) December 4, 2014

They'll pretend TNR was a "serious" magazine, filled with serious ideas, but actual serious readers (and writers) know better.

It's sad when people can't move on from being called congenitally subhuman due to their race @jonathanchait @tanehisicoates
— Fuck 'Em Up, Squanto (@Bro_Pair) December 4, 2014

Because - like with me and Althouse - we not only see what's there but what's never been:

I've seen one black writer express sadness. About the same amount of black people I knew (personally) who loved Elvis. It's amazing.
— Ta-Nehisi Coates (@tanehisicoates) December 5, 2014

And that - along with being on the right side of history - is any sense of anybody else's humanity,...

John Althouse Cohen's Mom Ain't The Only Bad Parent

When it comes to white women, the evil seems to originate in the confused parents, with their kids capable of going either way:

“Protesters said woman's daughter wanted to join the march. Woman grabbed daughter, flipped off marchers and taunting ensued.”

I say "confused" because, for instance, when Ann Althouse does a post about "Secrets of the Right Wing Brain," but then wonders why "the photo at the top is a composite of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Scott Walker," well,...that's a pretty confused lady. 

Actually, "confused" doesn't cover it: she's oblivious.

Little wonder that a message like "America is racist and you are, too" hasn't yet sunk in,...

John Althouse Cohen's Posts Come Into Clear Focus

After reading a few of Ann Althouse's kid's blame-the-blacks pieces, I could think of nothing else as I read this headline:

  “Robert Reich: Rich parents are perpetuating racial inequality” 

 It certainly seems like it, based on the evidence.

Rich white parents have also been partially responsible for the deaths from this NewAge anti-vaccine nonsense (which came right after their use of NewAge beliefs caused needless deaths during the AIDS crisis) so watch your back, People:

Whites, clinging to their wrongly-inherited wealth, has never been a sign of their intelligence - "superior" or otherwise:

It merely reflected, what we know is, a centuries-old willingness to dance with death,...

What Are White People Defending But A Right To Lie?

Since when is not wanting to lose your life merely a different point of view?

Ann Althouse's and her son John Althouse Cohen's mother-son racism disposal team appears to find great comfort in this Bill Clinton malarky, much like the Confederate's loved ones found joy in rumours of a win for the South:

"You know, Americans have come so far since, let's say, the era of Joe McCarthy. I mean, think about it. We're less racist. We're less sexist. We're less homophobic than we used to be. We only have one remaining bigotry. We don't want to be around anybody who disagrees with us."

Where has, how far whites have come, gotten blacks?

Naturally, all you have to do is add black Americans to the dialogue and you'll notice "we're" having less of a disagreement than white's, specifically, are still copping a pose - trying to be slippery, so as to insist white's rate of "progress" (AKA who they can stand to be around) be the status quo:

"To say that black people have made progress would be to say they deserve what happened to them before. 

So, to say Obama is progress is saying that he’s the first black person that is qualified to be president. That’s not black progress. That’s white progress. There’s been black people qualified to be president for hundreds of years."

That was too easy for dispatching a white law professor:

It'll probably be centuries before these mixed-up, self-serving, mutants will ever stop trying to be clever in our lifetimes,...

Althouse: Punishing Truth Seekers (For Fun And Profit)

Some answers will only work for white folks

“I find the juiciest line and quote it often deliberately out of context or with intent to misdirect for humorous or shocking effect. It's the reader's responsibility to figure out what to do with it. I'm not ashamed to operate that way.”

- Ann Althouse, admitting she's a liar, "for humorous or shocking effect" - that she'll ban you for, if you're shocked, and not humored

Mascara doesn't help

The biggest problem with liars is you can never know where they stand. This is a big reason I can't deal with many women: everything about them is a lie, starting with wearing make-up, which might as well be worn "for humorous or shocking effect" because - once you see their real faces - "shock" is a very real possibility.

Applied to blogging, it works

So is Ann a political moderate? Don't know - can't trust her to tell the truth. Remember "it's time to panic"? She was playing with us. Toying with us, for kicks. Or clicks. Her support for Scott Walker - who she quotes often? No idea. John Althouse Cohen's claims that gay marriage was like the black Civil Rights Movement? Who knows. Black people? Ha! Our troubles bow before politically expedient lies. And liars.

No one knows what any white person thinks

“Tim Scott Will Rise Again 

He is the first black senator elected from the Deep South since Reconstruction. Why? Because he doesn’t represent black voters.”

We was only playin'!

Ye Old Bait-and-Switch. Like South Carolina whites electing a black guy, who they know has no interest in black people, in order to prove whites are "colorblind" - which, as Tim Scott proves, they aren't. They just find the juiciest candidate and support him often deliberately out of context or with intent to misdirect for humorous or shocking effect. Poor black people. We won't be able to tell. Blacks to be played with. Or angered. Or whatever white people want to do with us. It's all in fun! If we're desperate for relief from whites, that's our problem. It's black's responsibility to figure out what to do - and do with them. They're not ashamed to operate that way.

The history of American racism - it was all just for some white lady's kicks 

What country is this again? What's it stand for? Don't be bothered if you don't know. The confusion is deliberate. It's the key to it's success - and whites. Blacks can say we've faced 400 years of white oppression, and whites come back with that happened 400 years ago. White's integrity means nothing to most of them. It's up to blacks to figure out if individual whites are sincere about anything. Our desperation for allies is merely part of the game.

Two other civil rights giants - with a wine box

It's truly no wonder whites suffering Alzheimer's is so common. So much deception. So much time fooling themselves. While thinking they're fooling others. And then the charade of being surprised no one trusts them.

Whatever happens from misunderstanding, it was black's mistake, not white's

It's enough to drive anyone mad,...

Ann Althouse's Kid Keeps On Revealing He Was Raised With An Extremely Limited Sense Of Racial Awareness

The president's a little too comfortable in his skin - for some people

John Althouse Cohen (and his mom) used to be big on comparing the fight for gay marriage to the black Civil Rights Movement, because it suited Cohen's purposes as a gay man. But then, once that battle was won, he abruptly switched to referring to blacks - who call bullshit on white's adoption of "colorblind" racism - racists ourselves. Now he reveals who, in his mind, is "normal" and who is not - and the breakdown is as obvious as I'd expect:

"When I watched Romney, I thought: that's probably what I'd be like if I ran for president. I'd be stilted and awkward and overly calculating. Probably most people I know would be. Most normal people would be uncomfortable as national politicians. Very few people would be as cool and effortless as Obama.”

So, Obama isn't "normal" - he's black - but Cohen and "most people I know" (presumably other "colorblind" whites) are like Romney: "stilted and awkward and overly calculating." (Try putting that on a dating site,...)

Anything but "normal" - as blacks understand the term - you know: graceful, comfortable with ourselves as people, and so honest we try not to pull anything over on others. My take on this reading?

John Althouse Cohen is just sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.

Seriously, when white supremacy is finally exposed for the insidious evil it is today, we're all still going to be left with the problem of white supremacist's seriously dangerous mental problems - and, especially, who has them - being exposed as well. Just like at the end of the Civil War.

And whites, today, are going to HATE that as much as they did the last time.

And then the backlash against that will be black's new white problem to deal with.

Watch - it's coming,...

Ann Althouse Is Full Of Shit: The Root Says Wisconsin Is # 1 For Being "The 5 Worst States For Black People"

She ain't raising up anything - including your dick

In 2014, it's chilling to think that - rather than actually visiting a region of the United States - by merely participating on a (self-proclaimed) "moderate" law professor's blog, a black person can know it's ideas originate from a place where racism is "so bad it should get ranked twice," but there Wisconsin is:

From Ann Althouse's many photos of the state - that feature no black people - to her early hook-up with the racist Instapundit, to her late endorsement of smiling Scott Walker's Jim Crow tactics, to her recent claim "it's time to panic" over Matt Drudge's bogus ebola scare (associating politics and blacks with death and disease - a position she never retracted and her racist readers gobbled whole) and especially considering the promotion of her silly gay son's late-in-the-election reverse-racism screed (and despite her brain-dead protests that a black person couldn't detect what life was like there for other blacks) I've never had a doubt Wisconsin, as represented by the Althouse blog, was a racial Hell Hole. How could it not be, when even so-called "liberal" Madison's famously conservative black Sheriff said it was?

Now the nation's premier black website also says so as well.

Still wanna bet Ann Althouse - and her gaggle of racist readers - will still deny a black Race Man can accurately know anything?

It'll never occur to such "colorblind" racists, but that statement's an indication of the obliviousness (and obviousness) of Ann Althouse's racism, in itself. She's still trying to say my senses are lying to me, my knowledge of history - and white folks - is skewed. That there's something wrong with me - not the whites trying their best to wait us out, while still openly committing crimes, openly hoping blacks -and the reparations argument - die together. So long as no one points the finger at her. Well, point I will:

Honestly, when it comes to the cesspool I discovered at Althouse, racist Wisconsin couldn't have a better online representative,...

Lies Of Convenience (America's Number One Export) III

There's not much evidence whites ask themselves why they fight and exploit black Americans

"A lot of people have an impulse to be prejudiced. But at the same time, they're like almost everyone in that they want to avoid being socially unacceptable. So they want to vent sexism and racism somehow — but only in ways that are considered socially acceptable. 

And how can one do that? It's obvious: by expressing sexism/racism against men and whites only. If they'd been born long ago, they might have vented against women or blacks instead. That's why when I hear people expressing shamelessly anti-man or anti-white views, it doesn't strike me as a dramatic improvement over the expression of anti-woman or anti-black view....”

John Althouse Cohen, explaining prejudice in America as a two-way street, October 25th, 2014

There's evidence whites are still so lame blacks even have to decipher their evasions for them 

”It's old-fashioned othering. I thought we were eschewing that,...and by we, I mean, we, the kind of people who shop at Whole Foods.”

- Ann Althouse, going down her son's street and having a head-on collision with herself, October 27th, 2014

Lies Of Convenience (America's Number One Export) I

The message is the same from whites across the political spectrum

While studying postwar Europe, Ta-Nehisi Coates took note of a convenient mental trait, shared by whites across the Atlantic:

“Attendant to all of this was something that any student of white supremacy in America will recognize—a strong propensity toward national amnesia,…

…This ‘strength to forget’ notion. National forgetting is always a selective endeavor. Italy had no more intention of dismissing its Roman heritage as ‘the past,’ than Americans have of dismissing George Washington as ‘the past.’ ‘The past’ is whatever contributes to a society's moral debts. ‘Heritage’ is everything else.”

One of these two shot first

I saw a bit of this in John Althouse Cohen’s piece yesterday, which blamed prejudice on all Americans equally, forgetting it is white Americans - alone - who have historically inspired anything like it in blacks. And, especially, by utilising the law.

The signs came down but how whites think has stayed the same

Considering Cohen’s mother, Ann Althouse, is a law professor, one would think she would’ve taught him better.

The hegemony of white women is unquestioned, and - right or wrong - they're proud of it

But, on the other hand, she, too, is known for telling blacks to “take responsibility” under white’s supremacy, so expectations that she or her children will have a grasp of reality - and know to do the right thing - were sure to be disappointed.

White America teaches minorities their morals - while devising ways for themselves to escape them

As Coates has also pointed out, “Laws are not synonyms for justice” but (as the Althouse family practices it) white's most handy “Get Out Of Jail Free” card - and, male or female, gay or straight, they're always looking for new ones.

White's appearance can be deceiving - in the men and women - but only so by so much

One need not wonder about the ethics (or courage) of any individual, people, or nation, that needs law to serve that purpose.

To be cont'd,…

The White Women With White Gay Sons Are Still White

“Accepting that the structures of evil are not mystical, but are the work of actual humans who parent children is terrifying.”

- Ta-Nehisi Coates, reminding me Ann Althouse's son had some typically white, ahistorical thoughts - that attempted to condemn others equally for white America's history of prejudice - today.

Whites will use"any trick in the book," as the saying goes:

Throw the gay kid out there and let him twist up that lie for you.

The oppressed and the oppressor's impulses are the same!

Honesty just never seems to occur to whites, for some reason,..
