Truth Be Told

How Burning Man Became Uncool (it started off free and on a local beach. TMR was to never go, once they started charging hundreds of dollars and moved it out to the desert. Fuck those people).
Democratic party official left bloodied in carjacking now calls for tougher crime laws (Reminding us of the old saying, 'a conservative is a liberal who just got mugged')
Oregon man sentenced to death 20 years ago is released from jail after 'clear racism' led to conviction (In a country that claims it has no reason to pay reparations).

Getter Done: Scott Walker's On A Roll (With Cheese)



Well, glory be: the funk's on me. It’s almost like people assume I, The Crack Emcee, will forget there was a time (not too long ago) when warning our  NewAge/alternative medicine/anti-vaccine crowd they unleash the measles - specifically - was considered kinda radical. Kinda "out there." Kinda crazy: an insult to others intelligence. They got me to the point where I would take any opportunity not to think about it (or them) which is partially why I eventually, finally, said, BAM! Baby, watch yo step – America's 'bout to shift gears:
“It’s time for white northerners to wake up to the sometimes uncomfortable history of what are now liberal enclaves like Minneapolis, Minnesota and Portland, Oregon and Madison, Wisconsin,….”


The ugliness I blogged about here, and here, and here last year - saying  Oregon Was Founded As A Racist Utopia (and still is one) has been a fact discovered by Gizmodo’s Matt Novak, which is now making the white supremacist rounds as the words of black people (who these things actually happen to) just don’t for some reason.


Sigh. Oh well, that's how America “works.” 



As long as the message is getting out there. Here’s more from the guy at Gizmodo:
“America’s history of racism is most commonly taught as a southern issue. That’s certainly how I learned about it while going to Minnesota public schools in the 1980s and 90s. White people outside of the South seem to learn about the Civil War and civil rights movements from an incredibly safe (and often judgmental) distance. 
Racism was generally framed as something that happened in the past and almost always ‘down there.’ We learned about the struggles for racial equality in cities like Birmingham and Selma and Montgomery. But what about the racism of Portland, Oregon, a city that is still overwhelmingly white? The struggles there were just as intense – though they are rarely identified in the history books.”

So here I be, one of the people this is eternally falling on, having to decipher and explain what’s been deliberately hidden, without pissing off the arrogant folks it was hidden from, so of course they could grow up to be so bloody arrogant. Intelligent? No. Arrogant? Yes. Mother. Fucker.


Not crazy-eyed U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, or Madison, Wisconsin's Ann Althouse (Hi, Ann!) or even Ann's favorite GOP golden retriever governor with the racist hiring practices, Scott Walker, but me. Me, the black guy. Because I HAVE to talk about it. Because I HAVE to live with it. Because the whites will never let it go.
[Scott] Walker concedes nothing to the conventional wisdom about what the GOP must do to compete in a more culturally tolerant, ethnically diverse and economically insecure America. And the GOP faithful love it.

It starts with ethnicity and race,...

Stay on target. And of course it does, because what else can a white guy with racist hiring practices do but take white's, and the nation's, biggest "original sin" and try to make it work for them - again? Their institutional racism that's lasted for over 100 years can last a little longer. If, while Ann Althouse is thinking "It's funny to see how outsiders are brought up to speed on the 'polarising' that's been going on here in The North," she also finds it as funny to ignore what the North doesn't want we outsiders to know: it's Wisconsin's polarizing historical foundation in racism that still probably makes it a great place to live - for someone white like her. 



Or (of course) their whites-must-always-make-mention-he's-black sheriff, who deliberately sounds like few other blacks in America, or Wisconsin. Blacks who few get to hear from, deliberately, considering the conservative media saturation in the area. The assumption we'll not notice only one nigga in the whole area regularly gets to speak, or is listened to, is just more of the same racial nonsense.
Today, racial segregation and division often result from habits, policies, and institutions that are not explicitly designed to discriminate. Contrary to popular belief, discrimination or segregation do not require animus. They thrive even in the absence of prejudice or ill will. 

It's common to have racism without 'racists.'"


It's kind of hard for me to believe under the circumstances - in a white country, set up and by whites, and where blacks have had to fight for justice over centuries - it could be any different. I mean how many whites have told me they "don't even THINK about race"? 




That self-imposed ignorance serves a purpose for whites, going far beyond plausible deniability for what happens. No, the imperative to lie - overtly and covertly - is too strong, and white pride is (apparently) still far too fragile for getting at the truth of America, being what the new wrong-headed Amazon series on the Confederacy accurately calls a white person's  Point of Honor. 

A curiously thorough demonstration of the ways in which a refusal to think about racism is just another, slightly more subtle, form of racism.


And, Lord knows, whites also would never THINK of letting THAT little problem stop their continuing, centuries-long, despicable behavior. Oh well, as long as somebody black's still breathing:



Look, I know the score - and there's another election coming - so, once again, let the games begin, for better or ill,...

Where Can Blacks Go To Escape Racism In America?


Feminism, like American justice, only seems to have an influence for some

Ann Althouse recently admonished me to "take responsibility" for entering a racist state. I thought it was a particularly cruel thing to say because, unfortunately, I had just spent all my money doing just that - by leaving Oregon:







Politicians, like American justice, only seem to work for some

But Oregon, like everywhere else that discriminates against us, still collected black's taxes - which the whites spent. TMR's conclusion: 


The truth, like American justice, only seems to be true for some

 Whites are so clueless, to what the racism all over this country has done - and is doing - to others lives, their advice (on almost anything) is shit:


And, yeah, cruel beyond belief,...

An early demo of The Crack Emcee's semi-autobiographical "Poison Opera," RAISE YOUR GAME.

Another unmastered drop but, this time, more than one track so context can be added. (Put the volume at 3/4 for unexpected volume changes and use headphones, or a stereo, for bass - laptop speakers won't work.)

 1. Darling, It's Been Raining - (Julie Blu & Juju Beats Remix) 
 2. Freeloader - w/Tim Hilton 
 3. Welcome To Cult World (Interlude)

 5. Escapee (Interlude) 
 6. One-Man Bee Hive - Be Here Now (From Degrading Discussions With Children And The Ghosts Of Slaves) 
 7. Back To Life (My Subterranean Culture) 
 8. Street Deals 
 9. I Got It 
 10. My People, My People 
 11. When It Rains It Pours

TMR so far? This will be a pretty good record,...

Racists From America's Whitest State Go Out With Style


With a face as non-stop as the rain

Somebody played Eminem's "Rap God" one too many times, and now look what's happened:


It's their changing of the guard, and a damned good one,...

Something About "Bad Culture" That's Not Hard To Spot


Who is worse - blacks, who won't work for white assholes, or the white kids who want to kill them?

In America's whitest states, are it's whitest cities, featuring it's 
whitest communities, where it's whitest kids are shooting up everything that represents the whitest of America.


Why conservative whites are losing on race is a pickle, too.

But their really, really-white parents still can't figure out why. 


It's like washing with Ivory Soap - after all the Ebony is gone.

TMR suggests white Americans study why whiteness has been so "golly-gosh-darn" important to push on their kids (a little bit more) before anybody gives up on the search for answers too easily,…

Another White Guy Was Trying To Kill Everything - And I Know It's A White Guy Since It's Coming Out Of Oregon


Thanks but, I'm supposed to read the other side,...

Considering my extensive knowledge of white folks' behavior - and since I just left racist Oregon - I'm thinking I should go into the fortunetelling business or something at the mall,…

ADDED - I was in white-assed Washington State, too.

It's a wonder whites aren't more scared of each other, considering,...

Portland Or. Voted Most Racist City In The United States


I've given you links to the past anti-black laws Oregon passed, to keep blacks fleeing slavery out, so this result shouldn't come as a surprise:



I just wrote about a little racial episode that happened not far from there, too, in a new North Bend, Oregon cafe'. Amazing.


It's all a little too depressing for me to want to say more (the past doesn't affect us today, right? Riiight.) Instead, I'll let the last line of the article speak for me - and my post - on this:


They don't have to speak - the point's been pretty clear for a while,...
