Today's A Paid Holiday (Blacks Need They Nails Done)

“Today is the 104th anniversary of the death of Belgium's King Leopold II.”

I told you about the totally non-racial European dessert I encountered called "nigger heads" - check this shit out:

“Leopold's invasion of the Congo,...raped Congolese women, destroyed homes and villages, sucked vital resources rubber and ivory) from the country and, more infamously,...cut off the hands of native peoples to intimidate those who didn't produce enough rubber to meet the quota or to show military superiors that bullets hadn't been wasted on, gasp--wait for it, animals. Those beautiful black hands, by the way, are still a presence in Belgium. I was in Brussels several years ago and a candy shop, near the European Commission's headquarters, was selling chocolate hands,...”

A perfect vacation destination.

“On Dec. 18, 1865, slavery ended in the United States.”

Whoo-hoo!

Are you picturing massive street parades in every city, like I am?

"For her to go into this racism stuff is pointless, 
and she's not going to address it."

Mom's got good sense - but you're one of my readers (Heh) 

so that there the hook-up right there.

Painful tragedy, falling to the cacophony of pleading,...

'Hitler's Reign Of Terror,'

Duh! Of course a Divorce Study Shows That Unreasonable Behavior Ends More Marriages Than Infidelity because immaturity's usually all it is nowadays. One of the two can't admit they're wrong - and nobody's going to make them.

The system's as childish, and exploitive, as they are.

You’re the black blogger conference right? 

We’d love to work with you but we need to pass you over to our ‘African American market segment’ division. 

You’re just making it harder on yourself. It would be so much easier if you branded as the Af-Am social media event. 

Oh! We need a black blogger for this campaign (no matter what the subject matter) – you’d be perfect! 

Can you tell us what Black Twitter has to say about this issue?

"I’d say that you ought to get rich. It is your duty to get rich. Men who get rich may be the most honest men you find in a community. That is why they are rich. That is why they are trusted with money."

Can You Feel It: Nothing Can Savior

"It was not healthy for Theo van Gogh to get too close to Hirsi Ali. The Danish cartoonists are still under constant death threats, Berman reports. And Ibn Warraq, the pseudonym of another apostate, reads death threats against himself online*, while Bassam Tibi, who, Berman tells us, 'pioneered the concept of Islamism as a modern totalitarianism and pioneered the concept of a liberal "Euro-Islam" [as well] ... spent two years under twenty four hour police protection in Germany. ... [T]he Egyptian and Italian journalist Magdi Allam ...was travelling with a full complement of five bodyguards. ... The Italian journalist Fiamma Nienstein … was accompanied by her own bodyguard. … Caroline Fourest in France, the author of the first and most important extended criticism of Ramadan, had to go under police protection. ... [T]he French history professor Robert Redkeker had to go into hiding. In 2008 the police in Belgium broke up a terrorist group that had planned on assassinating, among other people Bernard Henri Levy.'

He spends an evening in New York '... with Flemming Rose the culture editor of the Danish newspaper who was visiting New York only because at that particular moment it was too dangerous for him to remain in Denmark.'

The list continues. Kurt Westergaard, Boulem Sansal. This is cumulatively (and individually) scandalous. The fact that we so rarely hear a peep about the cumulative terror experienced by these writers and artists from the likes of these intellectuals while they find time to sneer at Hirsi Ali is the real scandal to me. The fact that theological censorship backed by death threats has been installed on the continent of Europe with just about everyone deciding it would be wiser to keep silent about it is once again burying the lede. But to my mind, printing it at all is a service."

-- Ron Rosenbaum, on the cowardly situational ethics of intellectuals resulting in threats, misunderstood accusations, an overall sense of danger, and even death - to people of courage whose values are not for sale - and all because those people of courage are challenging cultish religious beliefs, in Slate.

“The fact that Ms. Byrne has attracted these legal issues despite her knowledge of the Law of Attraction does seem to indicate that some element is missing in her teaching."

"I have something to say, but I'm not sure what."

-- An apt French rallying cry, during the madness of the May 1968 riots, which would've only been complete if they had added the words "And I'm going to make you suffer for it."

"We’ve been ruled long enough by the French."

-- Marc Mertens, secretary of Liedekerke, Belgium, on the "nonviolent fascism" his town is using to fight French oppression. He was speaking to the New York Times.
