Pain (In French)

"I didn't love France enough to stay and try to change it."

Nobody does.
Bringing Personal Hygiene to France

When they didn't want it.
France’s overcrowded prison population reaches all-time high.

They're using drugs.

Like that cake he was baking.
France wants to put a stop to mega low airfares

Because who wants mega low airfares?
France’s animal shelters reach capacity as holidaymakers dump pets at roadside

When they should've had a recipe ready, for them, by now.

Judging Countries By "The Content Of Their Character"


This is a photo of America's "real" Industrial Revolution

By the time 1807 rolled around, 4 out of every 5 people who came to America was from Africa. The country was moving about 400,000 lbs. of cotton then. By the beginning of the Civil War (1860) that number had swelled to 2 billion lbs. How'd America achieve that, without some new innovation in cotton production?



They'd - literally - "Break your Momma's back,..."

What Drives Conservative Nutjobs Crazy? Themselves


Of course, they're also craven political operators - willing to say anything before an election - so there's also that,...

Ten Things The Ebola Crisis Tells Us About The Two Popular White Law Professors Still Blogging Online


There's no reason to read on after this .GIF, but if you must:

1. A popular white law professor will think nothing of unnecessarily trying to scare the public silly.

2. A popular white law professor will think nothing of trying to introduce conspiratorial thinking into the mix.

 3. A popular white law professor will think nothing of ignoring the science while acting like a poll of the uninformed is important.

 4. A popular white law professor will think nothing of trying to deny an obvious racial theme because the disease came from Africa.

 5. A popular white law professor will think nothing of trying to introduce a racial theme because the president's father came from Africa.

 6. If the two previous attempts fail, a popular white law professor will think nothing of trying to badly compare us to a country in Africa.

 7. A popular white law professor will think nothing of trying to introduce a false equivalence.

 8. A popular white law professor will think nothing of trying to introduce the idea Obama wants you dead.

 9. A popular white law professor will think nothing of trying to act like not being in danger is "good luck."

 10. A popular white law professor financially capitalizes on it all, while never apologizing for, either, their behavior or being wrong.

Let's Face It: Hot Air Is Full Of Hot Air Most Of The Time


There's a good reason I don't follow Hot Air any longer:



There's only one problem:



And here's one for extra credit:



So, not only did Hot Air make the wrong call, but they're also demanding the wrong policy - and expecting us to join them.


We have enough ignorant garbage to deal with in this country....

A Racist White Asshole Annihilates Himself Over Africa


Obviously told Africa was filled with bad people and America was filled with good

Africa. Africa. Africa. I've been warning whites but, you know, American racists don't listen to blacks:


If I didn't have any background online, where whites are always bringing up Africa when the subject is American racism, this comment from the Hawks' GM Danny Ferry would be bizarre. But, since it's now clear a white "education" included a massive misinformation campaign about American history, The Dark Continent - and, especially, white's role in their (and other places) destruction - there's no way this type of incident was avoidable.


This is the true face of evil

Come on, join TMR in saying "Buh-bye," to yet another asshole:

Another one, BTW, who was right there under everybody's nose,...

The Republican Party, Misunderstanding Blacks, Is Nutty


Anyone this old knows America's racism - personally - while whites claim it's "ancient history"

From Facebook's "Humans of New York's Page" - where someone asks random citizens a question - we get TMR:

“There has been a lot of evil in the world. But to me, none as great as slavery. It’s the worst thing that has ever happened. They take you from your home. They take you from your family, your history. They make you work. They tell you when to mate. They chop off your foot if you try to run away. And I’m sorry to say this, but white people did that. And black people are still living with the remnants. For over 200 years, black people built this country and didn’t get a single dollar. And sure, it isn’t happening anymore, but we’re still living with the remnants. We don’t have the same connections, the same powerful friends, the same access to capital. I tell young African Americans that they’ll do just fine, but they’re going to have to work twice as hard. I tell them that they will need to go out of their way to search for their identity. They aren’t going to find much about their heritage in the history books. Even the constitution classifies black people as three-fifths of a man, and that was supposedly written by the most enlightened, glorified white people of that time. I tell young African Americans that they are going to have to dig hard to find out the giant contributions that Africa made to civilization, because they aren’t going to find it on the television. And I tell them that just because it’s a tough road does not excuse them from personal responsibility. I tell them that God put them on earth to build and not destroy. And I tell them that some opportunities cost money, but books are absolutely free.”

 This answer has caused quite the stir - check out the comments:

 Because, while it may be true "books are absolutely free,” most whites are NOT reading them,...

Is The World's Oldest Man Also The Son Of Slaves?

Whites Saying "Go Back To Africa!" May Have A Point


Culture trumps racial politics

TMR looks at this one Tshaka Zulu meme and finds elements of atheist humor, as well as the appropriated "Superman" goals of Nazi/NewAge "wellness" culture (taken straight from Leni Riefenstahl's eye) and even an acknowledgement, of the absurdity, of white supremacist culture's more bizarrely accepted religious ideas. (We did have "The Enlightenment," didn't we?) 

Whether any of this is true or not, a perspective very modern in history, but - somehow - connected to an African leader, long dead, who's name still rings out as an honor today.

Hmmm.

As MLK said, there's nothing to be ashamed of here,...

White People Are Now Losing The Culture War (Badly)


 I remember when I was in school, big butts, big noses - anything "big" that reflected Africa - was considered ugly to whites. They'd drive us crazy with their hateful comments, as they still attempt to do, today. 

They claimed to be so proud of their flat butts but, even as kids back then, we could see that whites were embarrassed enough - especially about their faces. The rich went away to get nose jobs (and otherwise destroy themselves) while "Say it loud - I'm black and I'm proud!" and "Black is beautiful" were just being rolled out amongst blacks. That idea, unlike their teenage beauty treatments, is what's survived that period.

The unwarranted hatred whites directed at the rest of us, is all coming full-circle now - with them as the "butt" of the joke. They really should've been kinder, and - as those inclined to become conservatives - raised to leave others alone, but no. White antagonism was the order of the day, and they were happy to follow through. They probably thought it would go on like that, forever. Not no, it was not to be. Say it with me - proudly:

BABY GOT BACK!
