The Lies, The Truth, And The Entire Little Richard World

Just think:

Without The Civil Rights Movement, Little Richard probably wouldn't have been able to sue Pat Boone for ripping him off.

There's no reparations for that:

Having to fight for what's yours is, still, just expected,...

Not Even On Dating Sites

Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that ‘twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what’s all this here talking about?

That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man – when I could get it – and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?

Then they talk about this thing in the head; what’s this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That’s it, honey. What’s that got to do with women’s rights or negroes’ rights? If my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?

Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ’cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.

If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back , and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.

Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain’t got nothing more to say.

Clutch Your Purses And Lock Your Doors: We Approach

"If the tech scene is really a meritocracy, why are so many of its key players, from Mark Zuckerberg to Steve Jobs, white men?"

Finally agreeing with Glenn Reynolds on something, I think that's the wrong question. The right one is:

If the Mark Zuckerbergs and Steve Jobs-types are so good, why's the internet experience such a fucking suck now?

Represented by, say, Glenn Reynolds staying popular while making one wrong political call after another, like the recent "win from losing" fiasco? He might as well be Oprah, selling homeopathic "medicines" and anti-vaccine nonsense, as far as the internet "matters" to our lives. And despite the disbelief on Reynolds' part, Silicon Valley is a closed world - even to black millionaires:

"Two sources told Valleywag that West recently attended a dinner packed with venture capitalists at Laurene Powell Jobs' home where West supposedly had the temerity to trot out his tagline: "I'm the next Steve Jobs."

But some say West's efforts to drum up tech money for DONDA have not been fruitful.

…DONDA's road map may be hazy, but is it any more far-fetched than some of the ludicrous pitches propped up Silicon Valley's free flowing capital? Especially from investors who claim to back the founder, not the idea, and embrace failure—West recently said he lost $13 million on business ventures because "I didn't have the knowledge to do it the right way"—as a badge of honor.

West is clearly not waiting around for the Valley,...."

Just like I'm, clearly, not waiting around for Glenn Reynolds to ever decide to tell the truth, or be fair:

And whether I'm doing it the right way or not,...

Cultish Thinking Can't Really Get More Black And White

This is probably the most important link, I've put up on race, today:

"Now more than ever I will engage in cross-racial relationships with an unapologetic and hopefully compassionate commitment to calling out the ways that people fail to see the complexity and reality of being black in America,…"

As usual, TMR's ahead of the curve:

And still burning rubber while doing it,...

Give Thanks (This Happens To Caucasians All-The-Time)

The Welcoming Committee is still hard at work out there:

"The Space Shuttle Independence which resides at the Space Center in Houston, Texas has been hit by vandals overnight.

The graffiti reads 'Houston we are the problem.' The rest of the message is said to be highly offensive and racist but has not been released to the media."

Not to worry:

Based on history, I'm sure it says, "Whitey, go home" or something.

You can handle it,...

Family Guy Killed Off Brian (And The Best Race Jokes)

Being a dog, Brian was safe for showing weirdness others tolerate as white's "normal" uptight behavior.

If he wasn't rubbing color in our faces to make one kind of point, he was pulling a Shouting Thomas and over-compensating to make another - both indicating how uncomfortable he was with himself.

He made sure everybody knew he was politically correct.

But the truth was - with all his betrayals of himself and others - he's what most fondly call "being human" in the NewAge.

I hope they bring him back....

The Non-Racists Simply Can't Stop Themselves From It

ELLE France's beauty editor, Jeanne Deroo, who is French (the folks who want you to know, despite their disgusting history, are not racist) "honoring" a black person (non-racially) because (after France's long, evil, and bloody racial history) she didn't know she was doing wrong - until someone black told her. I'm surprised she listened then.

That's how things "work" in totally non-racial environments non-racial blacks (try to) maneuver non-racially - otherwise, they're out of the non-racial jobs the non-racists, like Jeanne Deroo, hold over their trying-to-be-non-racial heads - which is as fair and non-racial as it gets.
