Let's Hear It For The "Blind & Naïve" To Black Suffering (& The Idea Fighting Sexism Is As Important As Racism)

“I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash. We’re going across the field.... They’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!... Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.” 

- Phil Robertson

“While [Phil Robertson's claim] is possible, it is highly improbable. Robertson is 67 years old, born into the Jim Crow South. Only a man blind and naïve to the suffering of others could have existed there and not recognized....”

- Charles Blow

“I have often been utterly astonished, since I came to the north, to find persons who could speak of the singing, among slaves, as evidence of their contentment and happiness. It is impossible to conceive of a greater mistake. Slaves sing most when they are most unhappy. The songs of the slave represent the sorrows of his heart,...”

- Frederick Douglass

“People do need to grieve when they've lost,…

But,…There was a brightness and a happiness to the songs that dominated,...Even the songs about crying. The biggest song about crying in 1963 was 'It's My Party.' Lesley Gore is gloriously triumphant in her claim of the right to cry.

...It still appeals to me more than the anguished bellyaching of soul music.”

- Ann Althouse

So, what's TMR's Christmas message to we sad, angry, misunderstood, "bellyaching" black people, who whites, today, don't want to help (no matter what we say, or what happens to us, including death) unless we agree with them, their politics - and, not only their version of history but, even the current state of our very being?

Don't you DARE restore "a brightness and happiness" to their lives.

And - no matter what "they" say or think or do - Merry Christmas!

That Tea Cup Ain't Exactly Over-Flowing With New Ideas

O.K. - PW started it - but every time one of these shutdown morons gets to talking, about the "principles" they've been standing on, I can't stop laughing. I mean, if "fair play" isn't one of them - and it's clearly never been part of the equation - then what good are you?

  The government shutdown strikes me as a long-delayed sequel to Pickett's Charge, a self-appointed and doomed crusade on behalf of White America, flipping the multicultural usurpers the double-handed bird as it burns down the house. It would almost be noble, if it weren't evil and pathetic and damaging.

All the things they were trying to avoid:

Hey - just like the shutdown,...

 

Whites Don't All Have To Be Alienating Sons Of Bitches

 No, this isn't going to be a primer on how white guys can get cool training. Nothing of the kind.

 

 It's actually a post for PW, who gets as sick of this nonsense as I do, and is just waiting (and wading through a lot of racial bullshit) to hear a good song. I'm biased, but I'll be the first to say, that's a good quality to find in a woman. 

 

 This post is full of Rap, that music white's said wasn't music (no unprovoked insult taken, guys). I know - as Americans - you're just as proud of it's world-wide success. You white devils, you.

 

 So using that as an excuse, after this music post, I'll go back to calling white people "white" and black people "black" like whites do when they're not aware blacks are listening. 

We are listening. We're always listening. We're inquisitive.

 

 But then, of course, the whites will deny everything if you bring it up - or decide you're evil once you copy them in doing it. Whites hate to be mocked. They mock others, but can't take a joke. The angry ones anyway.

 

 But one thing's for sure, and that is they'll never catch on, that mocking's what you're doing, because they've got their own ideas about what you do. You've gone "crazy" or "racial" or Meade! Or Obama! Or I hurt my back so - ObamaCare! 

 

But - 100% - there's absolutely nothing racist about white people who, for years, have never been able to take my word for anything.

Not even my own actions.

Nope, nothing racist about it, at all,....

 

And The Text Extolls The Virtues Of MInd/Body/Spirit,...

What a nightmare. 

Is there no editor in America who looks at something like this and thinks, "Probably not a good idea?" Have we simply lost the ability to recognize the iconography and symbolism of that which we not only want to avoid, but need to? Here, let's let reader PW sum it up since she brought it to my attention - and notice the shock and pleading:

Speaking of Nazis and other assorted totalitarian bastards that like to brainwash people into their sick occult riddled reindeer games, did you happen to check out the cover for the new National Review?

There's a picture worth a thousand words in a shrink ward. It's like the product of a Norman Rockwell and Leni Riefenstahl deranged love tryst on the planet Xenu or something. wtf Nat'l. Review, wtf?!?

Between it and the '08 Obama as Che poster (which should have tipped anybody who isn't a retarded hipster off that something just wasn't quite right, oh wait, forgot his primary voting base)...wow, a person could write a paper about the course of American socio-politico-cultural downfall right there.

And the question, as I see it, is "Why?" Why would they go there? Did it strike them as "fresh"? Is this really the best they can do? What they aspire to? What they think I should aspire to? Where's Jonah "Liberal Fascism" Goldberg's keen eye for this kind of thing? He can see Naziism in NewAge but not in this?

Did the National Review forget the Mormons admired Hitler? Did they think I'd forget it, considering he and Ann Romney's interests and proclivities? Or was the assumption that - since everybody's whitewashing who and what Romney's cult's been about - no one would make the connection? Were they trying to remind us? Get the Democrats fired up? What?

You know, I spent a lot of time on Facebook yesterday, defending Romney (yes, you read it right) against the Democrats' bogus charges he was covertly playing the race card. And if there was one feeling it left me with it was this:

Everybody's fucking crazy. 

Because the Democrats would rather run with bullshit claims, than hit Romney for his very-real weaknesses, and the Republicans would rather attack anyone who tells the truth about their cult candidate than assume their flag-waving role as citizens with an obligation to protect the nation from such a candidate. No one - but no one - wants to tell the truth:

That both parties will say and do absolutely anything in their lust for power and, by today's values, that renders them both unworthy to hold it.

I don't know about you but, to me, this cover illustration says all that, and then some,...
