Slavery: The Game (Sure To Be A Huge Hit In America)

Forget Grand Theft Auto V - white guys can now say "Nigger" for real again this time,….

Racist Things That Happen Because No One Sees Race

I witnessed this phenomena about a week ago - when Grand Theft Auto V players adopt the black character, they start attacking other blacks in the game and unself-conscienciously saying "Get that nigger!":

  Study: Violent Video Games Encourage Racist, Aggressive Attitudes Toward Blacks

And - being "colorblind" - the players have no idea these are cultural signifiers for blacks actually in the room with them. So, because it's been deemed "uncool" to bring it up, friendships die with only the blacks knowing why. I mean, if you were black, would you continue to hang out with Americans who exhibited that behavior? 

Something else Americans (apparently) aren't aware of, are the faces of fear and disgust regularly made to blacks. I got one yesterday while sitting in my car. Just total disgust from a woman.

Why? I said I was sitting in my car. My crime was, once she turned her head, I entered her field of vision. 
It happens a lot.

I often wonder if it changes their perspective as it does mine,...

Slavery: I'm Thinking We Needed A Mentally Ill Strategy

Sorry to interrupt, but you know what? 

I'm was wrong. 

Let's go right on, re-enforcing America as a desperately pathetic and petty place, and see what that gets us:

Peoples Dying In The Ghetto And Peoples Dying Outside The Ghetto: My Life Will Never Escape The Reasons Why

I'll find a story of mass murder, one day, that doesn't include an American doing something like this - and that's when I'll know it might be over:

"A contradictory picture emerged of the suspect in the deadly Washington Navy Yard rampage. He meditated at a Buddhist temple yet spent hours playing assault-themed video games."

Wow. That's some "contradiction." And a real anomaly.  Or is it? As I've pointed out before, if someone accepts the belief that "life is about suffering," then it's not much of a leap to cause some.

And nowadays, you have to admit, that whole "life is about suffering" schtick is really popular:

"If you're trying to decipher Loughner's worldview,...The best label would probably be 'New Age paranoia.'"

Oops, John Lennon - that was another guy to start killing everybody after dabbling in NewAge - here's the new guy:

"U.S. law enforcement officials are telling The Associated Press that the Navy contractor identified as the gunman in the mass shootings at the Washington Navy Yard had been suffering a host of serious mental issues, including paranoia and a sleep disorder. He also had been hearing voices in his head, the officials said."

Well - that could've also described my wife, too, asshole! Weird, because everyone defended those symptoms - as a feminist thinking "straight" - when she had them. Not that anyone cares about what happened to my wife and life:

Let's just make this thing blow over, as always, so we can get back to cheering what a overwhelmingly positive influence J. D. Salinger had on society,...

 Look, Christians, I get it - I might be receiving a message to change my ways.
