A New Candidate For Scott Walker's Office Staff Is Free

Remember when the sign said "I Am A Man"? It had to be revised for "colorblind" whites 

It's so predictable, I'm shocked I didn't predict it: 

 “A Boston police officer was suspended with pay after it was revealed that he was the man behind an offensive Facebook page that targeted a wide variety of minority groups and disadvantaged social classes.” 

But there's no problem out there with law enforcement - or racism - that anyone white has to be concerned about: 

These guys are only out for everyone else - innocent or not,...

Rand Paul: A Portrait Of Over-Weening White Arrogance

Cool Rand Luke. 

 If his father has writings in white supremacist newsletters, and he's known for openly advocating for discrimination, is it too soon to tell Dr. Rand Paul, "Physician, Heal Thyself"?

"Rand Paul, millennial hero,…likes to talk about getting people of color to vote for him, despite supporting voter suppression and the right of businesses to engage in race-based discrimination. Oh, and he’s comfortable telling the first black president, the one who 'surrounds himself with Martin Luther King memorabilia in [the] Oval Office,' how he’s failing to live up to King’s legacy." 

Now, Mr. President, let me tell YOU about discrimination,...

Ha! Yeah, Rand Paul - telling blacks we don't know the history he gets wrong - is a classic. It's right up there with Paul telling disabled people they can't have access to second floor office spaces, if the owner of a business has decided to make a place for them on the first. That's another oldie-but-goodie, proposed by someone with no clue of when blacks once had to be served from the back of businesses - and the disabled just didn't get served. Actually, when it comes to the American struggle for Civil Rights, that last one's not even that old:

It's been forever.

So whatever - however old, whatever discrimination we're looking at, is - it damned sure ain't ever been good.

But, then, neither is Rand Paul for that matter.

He's just the latest asshole who got in line,…

It Comes As No Surprise (Blacks Die Of Heart Disease)

"Yes, white women and black men and women in America's slave era were all victims of white patriarchal authority, but only white women had the freedom to vent their fury, albeit on the only people to whom they were superior.

...White American women and African-Americans have long had a complicated relationship on this score, epitomised by the bitter fallout between the 19th-century women's rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Frederick Douglass, when the two former allies split over whether black men should get the vote before white women."

"Researchers from Harvard and Tufts University have conducted a surprising study which shows that white people think that much needed racial progress has been made since the 1950s — but at their expense.

TMR's Year In Review: Ted Cruz Passed ObamaCare

I kind of went over this, in "TMR's Year In Review" on race, but ObamaCare was such a frak-up for cons, it deserves it's own post.

Do you know this man? According to his Dad, he's supposed to be God or Jesus (or something) but, politically, you might as well forget him because - he's chopped liver now! 

OMG! If there was one man who was *PERFECT* for alienating anyone repelled by racism, Ted Cruz was a standard bearer for the ages. His entire run up to leadership was based on one thing and one thing only - he was (kinda) Latino! That was the racist Republican answer to how not to look racist - find somebody, of the right racial make-up, to carry their flag! How could he lose?

Of course, unbeknownst to racists, openly discussing that political tactic completely voided any claim they were making about wanting to change the Right's racial image after Romney's loss. 

They didn't even try.

And THAT, more than anything else, laid the groundwork - AKA a sea of broken glass - for Tedly to Cruz/crawl over in his effort to thwart a black president's desire for the poor to have healthcare. 

Ted Cruz was The Man's stand-in and everybody knew it - including The Man he was standing-in for. Ted Cruz was a phony white guy, defending the position of Trayvon's hecklers, trying to act like he was America's savior - by shutting down our government. 

I'm really reaching back here:

That shit was whack.

So - what about ObamaCare itself? Good, bad, a boondoggle? Can't say yet - contrary to conservative thinking - for sure, the website is irrelevant (another phony scandal) but check it:

I applied for ObamaCare and they said I qualified for a policy that started at $239.00 a month. Impossible.

But - BUT - since my (double) back injury, I've been forced to apply for disability, so I'll probably qualify at little or no cost.

Is that a good thing? I don't predict the future.

Like everybody else - since it was medical bills that threw me into poverty and forced me to start my life over - I'd say we'll just have to wait and see:

But I am glad it was Ted Fucking Cruz who made it a possibility,…

 

Good Times

As the action of the book starts, children in Oregon City’s Followers of Christ Church had been dying mysteriously for years, and several more reportedly were facing blindness, disability and death.

His readers will enter the houses of faith healers who anoint cooking oil on their sick children rather than go to the hospital for an easy fix to prevent suffering and death. Dr. Larry Lewman, the chief medical examiner for Clackamas County, is credited as an early advocate for prosecuting faith healers in the 1990s, when it seemed that religious-protection laws handcuffed district attorneys from bringing justice to Followers.

It's A White Romance

"Most of those who run, and recruit to, British newspapers . . . claim they are colour-blind. But blindness is a disability. If you cannot see race you won't see racism; nor will you notice that the overwhelming majority of your staff is white."

Stop Your Bullshitting: Even The Blind Ain't Color Blind

"A lot of my black blind friends have sort of a joke because when someone doesn't know our race — especially the males — they'll find some way to reach out and touch our hair. ... People always come up with some kind of way to [touch our heads]. They'll massage you or do something ... I think [this happens] mostly in dating. You know, if they're going to make some decisions. I've seen people that seem sort of interested in someone and then discover that they're black and change their intentions. I go to a lot of the conventions now, the national conventions [for the blind]. And there are people trying to meet somebody [to date]. You can see that they're kind of pursuing somebody [that they find attractive]. And they'll go for the hair and then they'll change their mind. They're always still friendly ... but you're black."

There seems to be a lot of that going on. Everybody's "friendly" and freedom of speech and lets fix America's problems and all that. Fuck it:

I'll let you touch my hair before you change your minds,...
