Crack To Edzard Ernst: There's No Blacks There (Message Received, Asshole)

From Professor Ernst's opening line ("oh dear, who writes such a drivel?") anyone can see how my criticisms of others are received: not as something serious to be debated, but from a perch of superiority they assume they lord over me. I write "drivel" - just not drivel this politically partisan dumbshit can refute. Nor will he. Ever.

I did nothing to be treated like this, by this weird and cranky old man. I merely said he was wrong. He is supposed to be a Scientist, and a man of letters. Instead, he acts like a fucking child. And his followers are equally frivolous, bitching about how I talk, to escape debating the points I make. I actually admired this crew. Skeptics. No more.

 Now, I shit on the lot of them, and am sorry I ever engaged them. Good job, "spreading Science", Assholes.

France HAS To Be The Most "Shithole" (Of All The World's "Shithole Countries")

I'm glad to see that fat lying loser, Michael Moore, the pathetic nation of France, and what Moore called their "Gold Standard of Medicine", all finally being seen for what they are: 

 "'Humiliation': French see Covid-19 vaccine flops as sign of decline"  

As they should: France has been in decline as long as I've known the place. Where are the glowing reports on homeopathy saving the Republic? Where's discussion of the millions (billions?) it's never saved? What a tragedy.

There are few nations more worthy of disgust over all it's sacrificed - on the alter of sheer scientific stupidity - than France.

Well, the GOP has managed to alienate another black supporter, CJ Pearson, just as it did me - and in much the same way: CJ said he could no longer be “champion of a party that turned a blind eye to racial discrimination.” And now Republicans wonder why it currently seems the party's coming apart at the seams? That's easy: They never truly tried to mend them,...

Conservatives Never Understood MLK's Message - And Always Left Blacks With No Options But It's Destruction

"You are animals. If you are able to destroy the home or business of your neighbor, you’ve lost your humanity. If you are able to harm your fellow man, to scare their children, to do so with a clean conscience, merely because of something that some cop may or may not have done, which has nothing to do with you . . . you are a horrible human being. You disgust me, as you should anyone who wishes to be a part of civilized society."

- Steven Crowder, quoted in the National Review

"For years now, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and his associates have been deliberately undermining the foundations of internal order in this country. With their rabble-rousing demagoguery, they have been cracking the “cake of custom” that holds us together. With their doctrine of “civil disobedience,” they have been teaching hundreds of thousands of Negroes – particularly the adolescents and the children – that it is perfectly all right to break the law and defy constituted authority if you are a Negro-with-a-grievance; in protest against injustice. And they have done more than talk. They have on occasion after occasion, in almost every part of the country, called out their mobs on the streets, promoted “school strikes,” sit-ins, lie-ins, in explicit violation of the law and in explicit defiance of the public authority. They have taught anarchy and chaos by word and deed – and, no doubt, with the best intentions – and they have found apt pupils everywhere, with intentions not of the best. Sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind. But it is not they alone who reap it, but we as well; the entire nation."

It Takes 70 Years For Whites To Admit They're Wrong

If whites are around, and there's a way to never leave the womb, take it

I've always loved George Stinney Jr's face. It's as good a blend of Don't-You-Dare-Believe-In-Democracy and Of-Course-Whites-Will-Try-To-Kill-Obama as anyone can imagine. At 14 years old, George was the Place-The-Name-Of-Any-Screwed-Over-Black of his day, with whites offering their eternal rationalizations for why he had to die 70 years ago (just as they have many, at the ready today, for why blacks have to die and reparations won't be paid). Of course George was innocent, with whites railroading him to the grave, but never mind - this is America. That's the whole rigged game, made for their comfort and enjoyment.

Whites stole my purpose for living on October 25th, 2005, and the feeling's just deepened since then: that there's nothing this place stands for but destroying black's dreams and then more of the same, so whatever. Enjoy yourselves, white people. You win.

It's written all over little George's face - and I probably would've been a much happier camper if it'd been etched on mine at 14, too,...

Conservatives R Still Telling Lies On Martin Luther King

That whites keep liars in black's faces is punishment enough

That every American should be treated the same is my favorite conservative lie - here's King's thoughts:

”Whenever this issue of compensatory or preferential treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree, but he should ask for nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the first would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up."

Considering how whites have insisted on the opposite, and how blacks have been treated for saying this - since King died - it's pretty obvious whites have been, not just racist, but are still racist beyond belief. A white "friend" recently asked me, "So what's the plan?" Unfortunately, he hasn't spoken to me since, because my answer wasn't "I'm going to perform an 'incredible feat' and make you feel better,..." But, instead, I let him know the truth:

I'm growing sick of white people.

It's that truth which insures whites don't have anything more to talk to blacks about,...

Blacks Suffer While Whites Make Up Their Minds On It

A white "prince" - who will never have to work - and a black American citizen who (like every generation of her family) will, pretending they're similar (and he's charming) merely because he's grasped the meaning and flavor behind one of our cultural hand gestures

"We literally have two criminal justice systems in America - one for whites and one for blacks."

This blog started in a strange place: a black man loses his wife, career, and possibly his mind, to the influence of cultism in American society.

White women hate people taking advantage of others - except when it's them

Feminism is a part of that, one I flashed upon when reading P.J. O’Rourke’s recent piece on Lena Dunham and her TV show, Girls:

“Ms. Dunham is 28. I was under the impression that ‘girls’ is a demeaning term for adult women. The title must have something to do with this hipster ‘Irony’ thing, which I confess I don’t understand. The root of the word irony is in the Greekeironeia, ‘liar.’”

Whites are under the wrong-headed impression it's blacks who are making "progress"

Cultism, as I first knew it, was a so-called “spiritual” phenomena of the white Left. Growing up black in South Central, Los Angeles, voting Democrat was all I’d ever known. I started asking why; especially why Democrats were involved in the destruction that undergirds their ideals.

”One group of people in this country can expect the institutions of government to bend in their favor, no matter that they are supposedly regulated by impartial law. In the other, children, fathers, mothers, uncles, grandfathers, whole families, and many generations are swept up like rubbish by the hard, unforgiving hand of the law.

...Some people rationalize that it was unfortunate, but not altogether disturbing, that Michael Brown was put to death without due process because, after all, he allegedly took some cigarillos from a corner store. But who went to jail for the mortgage fraud that robbed his community and other black communities around the country of 50 percent of their wealth?"

Kids, like puppies and blacks, are poor and defenseless - you can kill them

I asked my questions as a man. I asked as an atheist. I asked as an American. This brought me a Right-Wing following online.

“Some residents think Knowles simply does not fully understand the problems Ferguson faces. One of them, Charles Henson, points to the mayor’s August comment that there was no racial divide in the city of Ferguson. (Knowles later walked back that statement.) ‘I’m just not sure he totally gets it all and understands exactly what needs to change,’ Henson says. ‘A lot of people are meeting . . . but the administration has to change as well — their position, ideologies, training, that kind of stuff.’”

Not much difference between Cheney's One Percent Doctrine and black's 5 Percent Cult

Trayvon Martin’s death brought laughter on the Right, drawing a bright red line around them, I will not cross. They, too, are liars - and also of the kind to destroy me, while shooting at shadows. Not only that, but their religious and political fanaticism easily surpassed the more sex-and-death perversions of the Left’s NewAge cultism, in the politics and person of Mitt Romney, leaving no doubt that, once again, I would be PTSD-repelled by the people around me.

"Mama didn't raise no victim"

The Khmer Rouge could've written this "uplifting" American's message

These folks, too, are whiter-than-white. My options, for living under white supremacy, were shrinking. And something was going on.

Their rise was inexplicable,...until someone admitted they sucked

“Both political scientists, Nyhan and Reifler have spent the past several years studying what they call the ‘backfire effect,’ or the idea that when presented with information that contradicts their closely-held beliefs, people will become more convinced, not less, that they’re in the right. In one study, when staunch conservatives read information refuting the idea that the U.S. found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, they tended to believe more firmly than before that it was true; the researchers saw similar effects in studies correcting the notion that President Obama is Muslim and the claim that ‘death panels’ were a part of healthcare reform.

From there, vaccination seemed like a logical next step in their research, Nyhan said: ‘Vaccines aren’t a partisan or ideological issue, but they’re controversial. They bring up issues of identity and tribalism that feel a lot like politics,’ he explained. ‘I have kids, and talking about vaccines on the playground is like bringing up religion,…’”

Over the years, this “backfire effect” has reduced the blog to no longer researching much of anything, but simply trying to navigate this unstable terrain of viciously backwards thinking in the modern world, for self-preservation - and we're losing. I’m cool with that: I don’t support what I don’t like anymore than anyone else will. But I still need facts.

With even one parent, nearby, a black *might* have had a chance

I’ve never had credentials for protection - just my fists. But defending myself is a crime, just as Richard Williams was “crazy” in white folks’ estimation. He defeated them all with his brand of crazy.

"You can't handle the truth" was the classic backfire effect

I've always found it rather amazing to hear respectable conservatives pining for the days of William F. Buckley, whom they see as the epitome of the sober conservative intellectual. This is hard for me to take. This is the same Buckley who backed segregation, backed Apartheid, and greeted the Civil Rights Movement by saying, "The great majority of the Negroes of the South who do not vote do not care to vote and would not know for what to vote if they could."

Here is the intellectual father of modern conservatism, standing athwart history. Black history.

The problem extends back to the Civil War, where conservatives have long enjoyed a cozy alliance with people who insist the Civil War wasn't about slavery, that it was prosecuted by a tyrannical Lincoln, and that black people fought for the Confederacy in untold numbers. It's telling that the Republican Party's idea of an alternative candidate was Ron Paul—the ultimate Lost Causer, who denounces Lincoln as a man who went to war to "get rid of the intent of the republic."

Among historians of the Civil War, the sort of views expressed on the right have zero currency. If you really believe, as Paul does, that the Civil War wasn't about slavery, you should expect about as much respect among the experts of the war as global warming denialists receive from those who study climate change.”

Realizing you're wrong - and admitting it - are two totally different things

Nobody, worth anything, pays them any mind.

Many men, in particular, have decided that low-wage work will not improve their lives, in part because deep changes in American society have made it easier for them to live without working. These changes include the availability of federal disability benefits; the decline of marriage, which means fewer men provide for children; and the rise of the Internet, which has reduced the isolation of unemployment.

Nobody else has to care, if you don't care about anybody else

Let them figure out where they went wrong. If they can figure at all.

“‘In 2012 the state supreme court struck down any law banning loud music,’ he says. ‘I knew that because it was a case I had actually studied in law school.’

Garzon grew angry, though, when Baldelomar told him that fact. He called over two other cops,…”

Burning civilization down only hurts those who deny it to others

I exist in a world, today, that - literally - has no use for facts. And that draws trouble closer for presenting them.

Zombie-love is a prelude to life without thought

”If a White House can get away with ordering torture and bragging about it, it can get away with anything.”

A life without love

Being in America makes no difference. All I’ve “learned” is whites - no matter what their political or religious affiliation - are not to be trusted.

“David Clarke, black Milwaukee sheriff: Eric Holder has ‘disgusted’ me”

Gee: shouldn't the Washington Times have added what color Eric Holder is? You know, just to balance it out? And why, since I'm sure they're "colorblind" and all, did they highlight David Clarke's race? And why - in a media environment filled with racial mind games - do white people hate being called "white" so much? If it's good enough for a "black Milwaukee sheriff" (and I've heard no complaints) why not Ann Althouse, white Madison law professor? Oh yeah: I've been told it's racist to do that.

"I was never taught that American democracy and African American destruction are not substitutes but complements. I was never taught that the relative wealth of America is derived from theft. I was never taught that state sanctioned violence was not a residual piece of American life, but the core of it. I was never taught that the fulcrum of the American criminal justice system was never justice at all,..."

I don't know what they're doing to Wisconsin's water but, whatever it is, it's wrong. A lot of right-of-center white people are talking about the break-up of The New Republic, but the most fascinating thing about it is their sincere concern for what was now a historically "sloppy" and racist publication, best exemplified by the crazy career of Wisconsin's own Ruth Shalit. Really, white people, you don't know how good you've got it - especially in Wisconsin: black sheriffs who feel disgust for black people. White women who feel disgust for black people. It sounds like paradise, for everyone but black people.

Many white people, continuing to deliver the wrong response, seem to have locked onto cigarette taxes for the death of Eric Garner. See, if the tax hadn't been so high, he wouldn't have had a market for loosies - simple, huh? Not as simple as, if the government and white people didn't practice multiple centuries worth of discrimination against blacks, the Eric Garner's of the world wouldn't need to sell loosies to begin with. But then, history's rarely white's strong suit these days. Passing the buck is what's "in":

"Police union: ‘We don’t believe it’s an issue of race. We believe it’s an issue of poverty’"

"No, it’s not a race thing. It’s a Ray Kelly thing. That man singlehandedly ruined this department."

”The NYT and Rush Limbaugh have a similar take on the NYC chokehold incident, but there's a key difference.”

"What happened to Eric Garner was nobody's fault but his own."
