White Women Are Totally Oblivious To The Harm They Caused (And Still Perpetuate) Within Western Society

"Why do black women talk about white privilege? Isn't the issue male privilege?"

White women are part of the problem:

For example, if a white woman is too dense to understand the science behind ebola (to the point where she prematurely loses her bobble head and - before an almost totally white audience - declares "it's time to panic") and then publicly blames a black person for her own stupidity without ever offering a retraction of her claim, it's not a stretch to say that particular white woman is a danger to blacks:

Ann Althouse is a danger to blacks,...

Blacks Frozen Out: By Racism In The Canadian Military

Oh NO! The soldiers of The Great White North have a problem:

   'Systemic' racism in Canadian Forces needs inquiry, veterans say

Royal Canadian Air Force veteran Rubin Coward said constant taunts and discrimination led to PTSD

 I thought Canada gave PTSD to people anyway, but I'm an American, so that's natural,…

Black culture has a lot of faults, but providing us with better things to do with our time than stereotyping whites, isn't one of them:

   Why is there no black character in the game "Clue"?

Because then it would be called "Solved"

Fun fact: In some versions of the game, Mr. Green is actually a black man.

Solved: it was Mr. Green.

Without that noise, constantly playing in the background, blacks might've been able to embarrass ourselves: 

 But, considering everything, I doubt it,…

 

Lem's Comment Home & Sixty Grit (Ride It Till The End)

White people can't escape history, so trying to hide it with lies was always - and always will be - futile. It's not the crime, but the cover-up - you compound the problem - which was you made a problem, to begin with:

Cracker is a pathological liar who pretends to care about "the right" but is a firmly committed black communist who has joined the cult of personality that worships Obama.



He is a racist, a liar and someone who claims he was raised by ex-slaves. You may defend him,...but he needs to be chastised for his delusions every time he pops up with his racist lies.

Before you get your mob to "chastise" me further - TMR's Sweepstakes To Prove American Slavery Wasn't Some Ancient Phenomena continues - featuring Michael "50 Years" Richards, Bill "A Few Years Ago" Clinton, yours truly, and now these two:

For Chester and Timothy Hurdle, the horrors of slavery are real -- sold away from your family as a child, whipped by your overseer, shot by a white mob.

It all happened to their father -- who told them and their older siblings about his experiences.

Timothy, 83, of San Francisco, and Chester, 75, of Sacramento are among the few living children of slaves. In the twilight of their lives, they are among dozens of descendants of slaves to file lawsuits seeking reparations.

Their multimillion-dollar suit, filed last month in federal and state courts in San Francisco, is special because the slave was their father, Andrew Jackson Hurdle -- not some distant ancestor. Only two other plaintiffs, including the Hurdles' sister in Illinois, are the children of slaves.

"Being a biological son of a slave, I thought it would be a good time to help our black people who were enslaved," said Chester Hurdle, a retired Air Force officer. "I've heard some people say that we no longer exist."

I'd put money on that,...

I Need Specifics: "We Shall Overcome, Suuuundaaaay!"

It's Louis C.K.'s most well-known bit, so few can deny it's out there:

“If you're not white, you're missing out because this shit is thoroughly good. I'm not saying white people are better, but I'm saying that being white is clearly better. Who could even argue?”

What's not out there, usually, are the results:

"What the fuck happens in America? What happens in America that my brother spends three years here and starts having nightmares too freighted to forget? What happens in America that my best friend who loved and consumed American culture all his life says, after spending two years in NYU, that white people are just better? What happens in America that makes him run for his life because he thinks someone is coming to kill him?"

Or why we get those results:

"I can tell you how America failed to love. I can tell you that America doesn’t love its inarticulate. Instead of asking my brother 'How can I help?' or 'What can I do?' teachers suggested lower level classes and punished with words and grades. College professors did the same. When he turned in essays much more articulate than his speech, they asked 'Who helped you?' and 'What did you plagiarize?'"

America's created a racist culture, born out of slavery and Jim Crow:

"Instead of thinking about why all their friends and girlfriends are white, white students ask 'Why do they only hang out with other black kids?' or 'Why do they only date other Asians?' They say minorities are being exclusive. And in the classrooms, rather than trying to understand and love, we learn to define and patronize other people and their experiences."

A culture - to the outsider - as obviously twisted as Nazi Germany's:

"America tries constantly to ignore the weak and break the strong."

No, seriously - I'm talking painfully obvious,...

Understanding: How Do White People Keep Their Jobs?

In 12 Years a Slave, a white indentured servant doesn't pick as much cotton as the blacks but, unlike them, he's not whipped. 

That's a permanent feature of American society.

I hear some whites want Obama out because, supposedly, he's not up to the job. 

I say, start setting a better example and we can talk,...

NewAge Is A "Spiritual Practice" (And They Do Practice)

She said:

"Why must an atheist bother with the subject of religion at all?"

As though atheists can ignore the religious' evangelical tendencies.

And, since we know this, who is actually deigning to "bother" whom?

And who - as usual - is "blaming the victim" here?

("Blaming the victim" - I am enjoying these Flaws In A Perfect System - our popular catchphrases for the casual cruelties Americans needlessly inflict.)

She said:

"If you think you're so rational, be rational about the reasons why people are religious, including many reasons that you could be empathetic about."

Oh my dear, you are aware the divorced are listening, aren't you?

Why aren't they - or, even better, their religious spouses - more emphatic?

Do you seriously think a fanatic is being rational, or even helping, when they're all "you think you're so rational" towards the subject?

Mocking the very endeavor society builds on - while insisting we must be empathetic towards the irrational - what does that reveal?

Didn't I just mention evangelism?

She said:

"By the way, even in that little quoted squib, the guy is still being a jerk, likening religious people to a brick wall and being a bit of a brick wall himself about the possibility that religious people are seekers of knowledge and truth."

"Seekers of knowledge and truth" - yeah, sure.

Having been there before, we know there is no "possibility that religious people are seekers of knowledge and truth" when they've always insisted - as you are right here - that batting away knowledge is the way to truth.

You are, once again, arguing for insanity and nothing more.

And doing so insanely.

And I even understand why - which is why it's my job to tell you:

Avoiding "being a jerk" is NOT what this is all about,...

 

I Know The Dumb Nigger Vote (It's All I Get Credit For)

I think the answer to the following question is because we, as godless types, are not (usually) as frivolous towards facts as the larger culture. But, I'm aware, there might be other reasons, too:

"The Last Taboo

It’s harder in America to come out as an atheist politician than a gay one. Why?"

Whatever the answer, I also think it's ultimately a product of the dishonesty ingrained in NewAge culture:

As I repeatedly saw (and tried to show) during Mitt Romney's run for the presidency, atheists are ignorantly, too-easily, and wrongly persecuted as "bigots" for merely pointing out a fact - religious and "spiritual" believers act on their beliefs - while gay issues (just like the feminist issue of abortion) are almost exclusively regulated to being argued against the dictates and merits of religious belief, like no other outlook or argument exists, or ever has or will.

NewAgers were using Jesus to, both, condemn and find safety.

These unethical proponents are found to be more-than-willing to blow smoke up our asses - to get the results they want - at truth's expense. Which is fitting, considering.

I guess, if you really want to understand the hypocrisy inherent in such positions, you should maybe ask somebody popular in the conservative blogosphere, like Glenn Reynolds or Ann Althouse, why they behaved the way they did back then:

They're supposed to be the educators,...

 

My Bad - I Forgot (People Don't Like To Understand It)

Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, has a few choice words for Christians and, I suspect, a lot of other folks:

"When you've had any contact with real persecuted minorities you learn to use the word very chastely,...Persecution is not being made to feel mildly uncomfortable. 'For goodness sake, grow up,' I want to say." He added the level of "not being taken very seriously" or "being made fun of" in Britain and the United States is not comparable to the "murderous hostility" faced by others,....

Boy, if he had said that before Trayvon, maybe the 70-80% of white Americans might have, at least, understood the black reaction (though blacks were still incorrect),...
