Rand Paul Is Proving Why He's The GOP Frontrunner

He crawled out from under his rock to speak, as another callously-clueless politician of the Right; which is certainly more credible positioning than when he said, “I don’t think there has been anybody who has been a bigger defender of minority rights in the Congress than myself.”

Or, if it wasn't, it sure is now,...

Ta-Nehisi Coates Says Condoleezza Rice Got It Wrong

This clip is fascinating to me, because Coates says he walked the same direction I did: trying to be the bigger man, he gave conservative thought a chance - only to discover it was hollow and cruel. And, as the self-proclaimed (and self-selected) defenders of a stereotypical American patriotism (Mom, apple pie, baseball, etc.) it's that exploration, of Republicans and their ideals, which revealed white's ignorance, and the racism embedded in America's core. 

Is the GOP racist? I'd say "sure," but no more or less than the Democrats are. It's just in a different way, because America, itself, is racist, and always has been. That's the truth of this place.

America will become a country, maybe, one day:

Whenever, and if ever, it decides to deal with it's history.

I doubt it, though - because evil reclines here so well,...

Conservatives Give Killers Big Money (Not The Poor,...)

Oh BOY, being a poor guy running a blog that lives by donations, do I know this scene well - big bite quote ahead: 

It was inevitable that when Zimmerman was arrested and charged with murder, he had only one thing on his mind: how to pay for a private criminal defense lawyer. Knowing that his phone calls were being recorded while he was in jail pending bond (for a grand total of seven weeks) Zimmerman and his family spoke in code. They were all very grateful for the “support from SH”.

You didn’t need a crypto-analyst to figure out that “SH” was Sean Hannity. In July 2012, the Miami Herald reported that the anchor was believed to be financially backing Zimmerman’s defense.

It was kind of true. But Hannity, himself, did not shell out. He got a bunch of other people to pony up. On his nightly TV show, the Fox News man would furrow his brow and rant about what would become of America if we lost the right to shoot and kill people who scare us. Then Hannity would, helpfully, mention TheRealGeorge Zimmerman.com, a website that the real George Zimmerman had set up after he shot Trayvon Martin to death. The site, helpfully, accepted PayPal. Nearly half a million dollars double-clicked right in,....

...Of course, not every accused felon can get Sean Hannity as his personal cheerleader/rainmaker,...MaryJane, in Lansing, Michigan, is apparently fighting criminal cannabis growing charges. She says she needs weed because she has Lupus. She posts a photo of herself out-and-proud wearing a marijuana leaf necklace. She has raised $1,450. Gordon Smith, of Delmar, Delaware says that he has been falsely accused of domestic violence 24 times. He offers a video – “False Allegation Awareness: The Gordon Smith Story” – and he has raised $290. Darren Wilson, of St Charles, Missouri, has done a lot better. He has raised $433,000 ... because maybe some day he’ll be charged with something.

Wilson, of course, is the police officer who shot to death 18-year-old Michael Brown Jr, whose own family’s GoFundMe site has raised $339,000. As officer Wilson’s (currently inactive) fundraising sites promised: “All proceeds will be sent directly to Darren Wilson and his family for any financial needs they may have including legal fees.”

If he ever has legal fees. Right now, all Darren Wilson has is a lot of money because he killed someone.

Yep - as long as I went along with the folks who revealed themselves to be racists, some money rolled in. But - as soon as I called them on it - that shit dried up so fast, it might as well have never occurred. (I've been essentially homeless, for months, but do they care? Nope. They've told me to die - directly - for disagreeing, which is all I need to know to further judge them, and their politics,...) Meanwhile, I watch the Zimmerman's and the Wilson's raking in millions overnight - along with the politicians everyone (supposedly) hates or distrusts.

And they still wonder why I, and others like me, say - as Americans -  they're cruel and their priorities are all wrong,...

 

Remember When Whites Used To Think Of Blacks As Furniture Until Slavery Ended And They Realized They Were Wrong? Me Either (Whites Are Never Wrong)

The Statue To The First Slave In America Does Not Look Any Happier Than His Descendents Appear To Be Today

This is the "grateful" look whites insist blacks should have for our Holocaust

Being brought where "civilized" whites are free to regularly do uncivilized things - like kicking Indian heads "football-fashion, through the village streets" - must have been depressing. 

 And blacks are still living with severe depression, because whites' culture of cruelty, today, is still pretty-much the same.

They seem to be a naturally cruel people - or cruelty seems to come naturally to them - you decide which is which:

This IS a country ruled by former-white supremacist slavers.

The historical connection is their obliviousness to their own barbarity,...

The Problem With America Is It Never Wanted To Exist

The fact is, for blacks, America's been one gigantic rip-off on terror. And, if there's nothing to be done about it, that's because whites don't want to do anything about it.

And - despite white's bullshit stories of ancient glory - such cruelty, between people raised together, is simply no basis for a country,...

NY Pays 4 Killing An Unarmed Teen & Scaring A Family

There ARE things blacks and whites have in common - and probability ain't one of them.

It's like when white people say blacks are yelling, but we're not:

“Police said they pursued Ramarley, 17, into the building after he ran from them.

But surveillance video showed the teen walking calmly into the E. 229th St. house.”

We want the truth - and money, the whole truth - and money, and nothing but the truth - and money.

From what I've seen, getting busted - specifically for racist acts - does seem to be why white people are so scared of surveillance:

If whites will do this to you, they'll do anything, is the operating idea - until they stop.

Not surprisingly, concern for blacks still isn't coming into it:

And we've been watched, like a hawk, since we got here,...

Hoops

These are images from American culture. Life isn't worth much. We know this. The homeless, literally, die in red and blue streets. History tells us this general lack of regard for humanity, and the lack of humanity it indicates, is normal in America. Conservatives actually regard caring as naivety (apparently, even if it's you in need of care). This, too, has always been culturally true. America couldn't have maintained slavery, for so long, otherwise.

Today, conservatives admire the few blacks who agree with them, and it doesn't flatter anyone involved. The rest of us look on, like they're strange twisted racist martians, but foreign to modern ways. So they talk to each other, almost for sport, revealing they both are unwilling - or unable - to acknowledge the rest as authentic. This, too, is an old part of our culture.

Something about the 97%'s simple desire for respect and justice gets lost in translation. Whether that's deliberate today, or the further product of America's centuries-old culture of white supremacy, isn't too important a distinction to the black born opposed and suspect. Not by everyone, but enough. Enough to continue screwing with our lives. What I'm trying to say is, we've got a case, and it's been moving glacially. But, in the court of public opinion, it does move.

Especially on the big screen, where injustice is being swiftly rewarded, and the Calvary is still nowhere to be found:

Consider, that Sterling guy, he's getting off easy,...

How Important Are Five Years To Knowing The World?

"'California’s affluent Marin County, just north of San Francisco,' is what? Another NewAge 'power spot', filled with 'rich people', just like Sedona, Arizona. Stupid, gullible, and easily-led rich people - if you ask me - and they're all hurting other people by acting on their NewAge beliefs." 

 - TMR, October 23, 2009

"Sedona, Arizona has been kind of a magnet for groups called cults,...Demographically, there are a lot of people there who have extra money.  They have money to spend.  It's an affluent area and there are a lot of groups that are set up there, most notably James Arthur Ray,..."

Big Fur Hat Thinks "iOwnTheWorld" But It's Owning Him

Because it's one of TMR's "sister blogs", to my utter horror and shame, iOwnTheWorld's "Big Fur Hat" is now citing the racist VDare as a source for stereotyping and propaganda. But it's in iOwnTheWorld's comments the real show goes on - revealing, both, the heart of America's evil and it's current state of massive white ignorance - some of which I share with you now, illustrated:

Imagine the number of police you could layoff were it not for blacks…

Blacks are like wild animals. Sooner or later a wild animal will revert back to being wild and kill you.

The truth that can not be spoken is that cities with a higher than average percentage of black people have a lot of crime because blacks have a large and separate subculture that doesn’t frown on being a total fucking asshole as much as white culture does.

Being born white is probably racist. Heck, everything we do that’s disagrees with Progtards is racist. If there were no liberals would there still be racists. Give it up progfarts and leave us the Hell alone, that’s probably racist too. Is it racist that I bullshitted my way through the Racism and Sexism course I took when I was in College and received a high grade just so I could get along? Even though I really didn’t believe most of their horseshit.

They have to yell ‘racist’ because they have nothing else. No facts, no truth, no substance.

The hand full of black ex mil guys I know I will continue to try and swing to the good side. Until I give up, then fuck them. I can’t be more honest then that.

 Broken families, no fathers, and gangsta rap culture haven’t helped any, either.

I Hope She Gets Everything (She's Got Coming To Her)

This evil dummy, above, is suing her parents for abandonment - AFTER she ran away (she should be suing her school for skipping critical thinking courses). But what the judge really didn't seem to appreciate was a voicemail message she sent home:

'Hi mom just to let you know you're a real f**king winner aren't you you think you're so cool and you think you caught me throwing up in the bathroom after eating an egg frittatta, yeah sorry that you have problems now and you need to harp on mine because i didn't and i actually took a s*** which i really just wanna s*** all over your face right now because it looks like that anyway, anyway i f***ing hate you and um I've written you off so don't talk to me, don't do anything I'm blocking you from just about everything, have a nice life, bye mom'

"You think you're so cool"? Wow. How stupid can you get?
