Whites Insist Blacks Must "Be Humble" When There Is Something Wrong With White America They're Proud Of - And Insist On Protecting - Whatever It Costs Blacks

What Scott Walker supporters don't think about when they vote

“Our condition is not a mistake. That we don’t need to run around pretending, as though there’s some great mystery going on—it’s not. If an alien came to planet Earth and looked at the socioeconomic statistics for African Americans and then measured that against the history and the policies of this country, there would really be no surprises about who we are and where we are. And I think that’s important, because there are things that are not within our control in this country. 

But there are some things that always get out of control, and one of those things is the level of stress that we put on ourselves. The feelings that we have about our position. The doubt—I don’t want to call it self-loathing—but the effect it has that we have somehow done something to ourselves, injured ourselves. And I just want to relieve that stress. There’s no need to walk around feeling—to be fooled into thinking—that somehow you’re insufficient as a human being. And that’s the condition that we find ourselves [in]. 

On the contrary, I have always said that, to be perfectly blunt, there’s nothing wrong with black people that the complete and total elimination of white supremacy would not fix. And that’s what I believe, and I want black folk who read that piece to know, “You’re OK.” You know? That the conditions within the community are not OK, but as a human being, you’re OK. 

...I think we’ve done the best we can; I think we’ve done the best we can. And that’s hard to take. And that’s even hard to say, because what it means is, like, saying that certain things are not in your control. But I think we kind of do have to say that, you know?

It’s very hard for me to look at African-American history and see people slouching. I don’t see that. I see people against great odds fighting against a power, a state that for most of its history has not operated with the interest of African Americans at its heart.

Why "Act Like White People" Is Really Bad Advice

White disregard, of the pain whites cause blacks, starts young

Ann and Meade - and their white readers - have repeatedly said to act like white people, but I don't listen to them:

To suggest, as both scholars and the media have, that the violence experienced by all-black or all-brown neighborhoods today stems in large part from their residential isolation is problematic for other reasons as well. It leads some to suspect that if people of color simply spent more time with white people, lived next to them, and went to school with them, they would be less violent—they would perhaps learn better ways to resolve disputes and deal with stress and anger. Again, though, history belies this logic. 

White Americans also have a long history of violence—not only when asked to share residential space with African Americans or even to treat them as equals in schools or on the job, but also when nary a person of color is near. From the lynching of blacks in the Jim Crow era to the crimes committed against African Americans every time they tried to move onto a white block after World War Iand World War II, ugly incidents of white violence were both regular and unremarkable. Even among those who look just like them, whites historically have engaged in a variety of violent behaviors that would make many shudder—from their propensity to engage in brutal duels and to “eye gouge” their fellow whites in the decades before the Civil War, to their involvement in mass shootings in more recent years.

Whites also "eye gouged" black kids pretty regularly:

White people are the worst examples of non-violence in America,...

TMR: Saving The White Race, One Idiot Racist At A Time

Some racist white reader's comments can crack me the fuck up:

 My closest black friend, if he was whinging like you, yeah, I would tell him to his face to suck it up. You just blame your major malfunction on being black. The blacks I knew in the service, the blacks I worked with in Atlanta and the few black friends and acquaintances I have here in NorCal don't blame everything on slavery and their oppression.



That said, I am glad I'm not black. I don't need the extra stress. 

Let's see if we can break this down, together, shall we? 

 Howard acknowledges that being black in this environment - in itself - is (in his words) "extra stress". 

But, if Howard's "closest black friend" opened up to him about the "extra stress" - because it came, specifically, from "slavery and their oppression" - Howard would "tell him to his face to suck it up."

And people like Howard are wondering why Phil Robertson, of Duck Dynasty, never heard a word, either. It never occurs to them that, while having a "closest black friend", they're not so close to be considered the type of white people blacks speak openly or honestly to - they're just a bunch of weirdo racists.

 Honest question, Howard:

Considering what you just wrote, do you honestly think your "closest black friend" needs you for a friend?

 I also agree with you that us whites have no idea how much more difficult life is for the black man in America. You seem to be just recently discovering that all of your tea-bagging chickenhawk buddies are really racist nutjobs and now you feel burned just like your ex-wife. Apparently you don't handle rejection well. 

I can tell Howard's not enjoying this process - going for the San Francisco ex-wife burn, like he was there - and, notice, he does that while, at the same time, admitting he seems to be learning something from what I'm doing for him. Is that gratitude or what?

(Money, Howard, the word is money.) 

And, I guess, I'll take this time to remind you I walked away from the Tea Party crowd over Mitt Romney - not the other way around. So, if anybody can't handle rejection, it's Whitey, Inc., of which you are a member.

In any event, if you want everyone everywhere around you to be walking on eggshells 24/7, I suggest you go back to your ex-wife's new-age cult friends where they will be happy to accommodate your sensitive aura. 

See, Howard, now you're getting interesting because you've cracked open the point of this blog - cultism. And you did it all by your lonesome, though (being a racist) you got the power structure backwards, as usual: 

You - the whites - are my "ex-wife's new-age cult friends" demanding "everyone everywhere around you to be walking on eggshells 24/7". And you won't give it up - you're arguing for it right here. You'll even try to pose like you're the injured party. It's pathetic, considering. Especially you, thinking I'd go for it. 

 

You are right. My mistake. I thought you could be treated like a man.

Ooooh. And men don't fight for their rights against you? 

Do you think racist white men even know what that word means? I'm serious. With the value system you've been raised in - that's produced this horror for others - can you call yourselves "Men" as the rest of us understand the term? Based on what? Slavery? Jim Crow? Public lynchings with a picnic basket and the family in tow? All-white, racist juries for hundreds of years, trying your fellow citizens who you now claim shouldn't fight for anything YOU don't agree with? Stolen wealth? C'mon, "Man", lecture me on the integrity you're so sure I lack, for daring to question the likes of you, who the world now looks down upon.

Perhaps your child-like worldview is what makes the visual art you cobble together so raw, original and appealing. 

 Does this guy sound like a former slave owner or what? 

"The negro has a child-like worldview that makes the art he 'cobbles together' raw, original and appealing." 

Jesus Christ, man, you are a walking well of disgusting ideas.

I do have to say, thanks for turning me on to Mingus. Us poor white guys have no clue about real music. I'll always think of you when I listen to The Clown.

Um, that would be my Step-Father, and - if he was still alive - he'd be proud of me and telling you to kiss his black ass:

   Charles Mingus narrates pieces of his own story. Born from a half black/half Swedish father and a half black/half Chinese mother (later having a half black/half Indian step-mother) Mingus tried to be all types of races but found he was a misfit that didn't belong anywhere; so he says he's just a negro. He sums this up stating, "In a society which sends messages that are racists capitalists, and have Judaeo-Christian ethic roots, the transmission of these messages to Black people can lead to socializing of their young with non-complementary values."

John Handy and Sue Mingus describe Charles as individual, volatile, strong, supremely honest, uncompromising, and having a very dynamic personality that ran like the color spectrum; testing people to see how far he could go. Wynton Marsalis describes Charles as never victimized by a style and that he was always relating his music to something human.

Jerome Richardson says Mingus was aware of what was going in regards to race and never backed down from it. John Handy says he did what most others could not, mainly because he was conscious of the race issue.

We're Raised On NewAge Propaganda & It Was Wrong

For consumers with a  conscience, they are top of the shopping list.

But it seems free-range eggs may not be all they are cracked up to be. According to researchers, hens kept indoors in cages lead happier lives.

A study found birds raised in ‘enriched cages’ enjoyed lower levels of stress and mortality, and were less likely to suffer from bone fractures or pecking than free-range chickens.

Demand for free-range eggs, which cost almost double the caged equivalent, has risen steeply as a result of high-profile campaigns.

Uh (Here We Go, Loopty-Loop, Here We Go, Loopty-Lie)

I'm so sick of this. Somebody seriously needs to call these people and tell them to calm down. Nobody cares, this is "just how we roll" now:

"Bikram yoga founder facing allegations of rape now accused of racism, misogyny, homophobia and running his company 'like a cult'"

Yada-yada-yada. Yeah, yeah, yoga. Gurus are just trying to "control" and "brainwash" people. Sure. Tell me another one. BTW - those three girls who recently "escaped" being some lunatic's life-long sex slaves? We gotta give 'em back. Yeah, it's been decided, under NewAge rules, he, too, got 'em fair-and-square. You know, like Whole Foods shoppers.



Now, go and live a "stress-free" lifestyle, like everybody else.

Of course, it's strongly suggested you take up yoga to do that,...

What It Be Like? (Big Pimpin') Go On, Big Dawg!

"A teacher who bludgeoned a disruptive pupil with a dumbbell walked free yesterday when a 'common sense' jury acquitted him in minutes.

Peter Harvey was cleared of trying to kill a 14-year-old boy who told him to '**** off'.

His trial heard how he was targeted by teenagers who knew he had been 
off work with depression and stress. 

The 'fundamentally decent' man snapped when the science class set out to upset him, with a girl  -  described as the pupils' ringleader  -  using a camcorder to film the incident so she could distribute it round the school. 

Mr Harvey dragged the boy  -  a persistent troublemaker  -  into a cupboard and hit him about the head with a 3kg dumbbell shouting 'die, die, die'.

The attack fractured the teenager's skull.

But yesterday a jury swiftly acquitted him of attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Judge Michael Stokes QC told the court 'common sense had prevailed'."

Yes, This All Sounds Very Fucking Sensual

"The owner of a Salt Lake City massage parlor and an employee have been sentenced to one-year jail terms for sex-related crimes committed at the business.

Travon J. Jackson, 29, owner of The Reiki Specialist, 231 E. 400 South, had sex with a 17-year-old girl in February 2008, and he also hired two other 17-year-olds who performed sex acts for customers and split their earnings with Jackson, according to charging documents.

Jackson pleaded guilty to one count each of attempted aggravated exploitation of prostitution and unlawful sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year-old, both third-degree felonies.

Third District Judge Deno Himonas sentenced Jackson earlier this month to a year in the Salt Lake County jail.

David Anthony Burgess, 28, who worked at the massage parlor, was charged with two counts of first-degree felony rape, alleging he sexually assaulted two women during job interviews in September.

Burgess pleaded guilty to two counts of class A misdemeanor sexual battery and was sentenced to a year in jail by Judge Randall Skanchy.

Reiki is a holistic relaxation treatment similar to massage. It often is performed meditatively, without physical contact between the practitioner and the client.

A Web site for The Reiki Specialist advertised 'Sensual Reiki,' with physical touch and bikini-clad practitioners to 'increase the relaxation and stress relief.'"

No One Told Me About Her - The Way She Lied...

"Narcissists are happy. They are less likely to be depressed, sad or anxious, and rate their subjective well-being more highly. They're less reactive to stress, and recover more rapidly from it,...narcissism also seems to help people recover from accidents or other trauma—it gives them an unrealistic sense of their own invulnerability, and they believe that they will be able to handle whatever else life throws at them. As one researcher put it, being somewhat narcissistic is like driving a huge SUV: You're having a great time, even while you hog the road, suck up extra resources and put other drivers at higher risk.

As bad as narcissistic behavior can be in a coworker, golf buddy or relative, it's worse in a romantic partner. Male or female, narcissists are the quintessential sharks: Self-confidence and charm make them highly appealing in the early stages of attraction. Since narcissists are very concerned about appearance, they're likely to be well-groomed and fashionable.

Narcissists' need for power and autonomy leads them to shun commitment—and to cheat. Romantic relationships become just another way for them to pump up their own self-image. Narcissists look for mates with very high social status (for example, looks or success) which complements an inflated sense of self.

A narcissist can't see anything wrong about herself, even when her world is crashing down all around her,...So the narcissist does, after all, have an Achilles' heel—being blind to her own faults. And that's perhaps the only way to console yourself when you've been subjected to the blunt edge of a narcissistic personality. Rather than admiration or fury, narcissists may in fact deserve our pity. From a very safe distance."

Naw, Dude: There's One Born Every Second!!!

"It never ceases to amaze me that people fall for this stuff. Here we have flamboyantly sociopathic cross-dressing scammer who's on the lam having his minions sell this expensive piece of junk in Canada. For some reason, Health Canada licensed it for 'reduction of stress.' Why, I don't know, but it was the foot in the door for Nelson to market his device as a cure for cancer, autism, heart disease--pretty much anything you want. Truly, it is the woo for all seasons, and there's one born every minute."

TMR Would Like To Stress: This Is A Cult!!!

"Everyone has seen them at subway stations, street festivals, shopping malls, and even ordinary city sidewalks: a few friendly-looking people sitting at small, folding tables, with colorful electronic contraptions prominently upon them, and lots of hardbound copies of L. Ron Hubbard books. A sign screams out, 'FREE STRESS TEST.' Naturally, everyone feels a little stressed out in our modern day, so with a chuckle and a smile, the ordinary citizens passing by may sit down 'just to see how this thing works.' It is fun to try out this kind of carnival game. Maybe this gizmo willsay something amazingly accurate. Also, it’s free. What could go wrong?

Well, a lot could go wrong, and often does. The people with the gizmos are Scientology cult recruiters; the machines themselves are Scientology 'E-Meters,' a primitive sort of lie-detector machine; and the Hubbard books are part of a sales strategy that is elaborately plotted out to the point of being bizarre, especially for an organization that claims to be a religion. No matter who you are, how you feel, or what kind of jiggles and squiggles the E-Meter apparatus makes in response to you, the Scientologists will tell you that your life is in a rather precarious situation, and that the best thing would be for you to come down to the 'church' for further interpretation and advice."

Hit Back, Billy

At Woodland Junior High School, some boys in a wood shop class goaded a bigger boy into believing that Billy had been talking trash about his mother. Billy, busy building a miniature house, didn’t see it coming: the boy hit him so hard in the left cheek that he briefly lost consciousness.

Ms. Wolfe remembers the family dentist sewing up the inside of Billy’s cheek, and a school official refusing to call the police, saying it looked like Billy got what he deserved. Most of all, she remembers the sight of her son.

“He kept spitting blood out,” she says, the memory strong enough still to break her voice.

By now Billy feared school. Sometimes he was doubled over with stress, asking his parents why. But it kept on coming.

So one day Billy walked into wood shop, picked up a two-by-four, and whacked the fuck out the kid that hit him. And then he hit the teacher with it - right in the face - as well as any other kid that came near him. He even got that school official one day when he wasn't looking. Word started spreading that Billy was "crazy".

He also started working out; took up track, and boxing, so he could build up his endurance. He watched Bruce Lee movies, and started developing fast hands. Eventually nobody could hit as hard, or as quick, as Billy,....

-- The last two paragraphs are what's missing from a stupid New York Times article on Billy Wolfe (above) a 16 year old boy attending Woodland Junior High School, in Fayetteville, Ark., who is being bullied.

Hit back, Billy.
