Witchcraft Case Highlights U.S. Education Deficiencies

How can anyone, who's been sufficiently educated, believe in witchcraft? Face it:

Not only are Americans massively under-educated, but, because of that, we're still as superstitious as anyone in the "Old World" we're (supposedly) different from.

A lack of education is also why most Americans miss that point,...
 

John Althouse Cohen's Mom Ain't The Only Bad Parent

When it comes to white women, the evil seems to originate in the confused parents, with their kids capable of going either way:

“Protesters said woman's daughter wanted to join the march. Woman grabbed daughter, flipped off marchers and taunting ensued.”

I say "confused" because, for instance, when Ann Althouse does a post about "Secrets of the Right Wing Brain," but then wonders why "the photo at the top is a composite of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Scott Walker," well,...that's a pretty confused lady. 

Actually, "confused" doesn't cover it: she's oblivious.

Little wonder that a message like "America is racist and you are, too" hasn't yet sunk in,...

John Althouse Cohen's Posts Come Into Clear Focus

After reading a few of Ann Althouse's kid's blame-the-blacks pieces, I could think of nothing else as I read this headline:

  “Robert Reich: Rich parents are perpetuating racial inequality” 

 It certainly seems like it, based on the evidence.

Rich white parents have also been partially responsible for the deaths from this NewAge anti-vaccine nonsense (which came right after their use of NewAge beliefs caused needless deaths during the AIDS crisis) so watch your back, People:

Whites, clinging to their wrongly-inherited wealth, has never been a sign of their intelligence - "superior" or otherwise:

It merely reflected, what we know is, a centuries-old willingness to dance with death,...

Larry Wilmore On White's Black-On-Black Crime Fetish

“Can we quit calling it black-on-black crime? It’s just crime! Makes it sound like a category on Red Tube. (That’s a porn site, Jon,...)”

Cosby's Respectability Politics Just Keeps Taking Hits

Let me ask you a serious question - 100% - if you were black, who would you rather be standing with?

A decent kid who's had a few "youthful scrapes with the law" he can grow out of (AKA a "thug" in the white world) or a rich, and formally-well-liked, and world-renowned, rapist of children with white conservative support?

It's not exactly an ethics test, I know, but choose wisely anyway: 

Your answer still says a lot about you,...
 

Joe Scarborough Might Get Answers With Some Blacks On His Show (Whenever He Decides To Lose His Mind)

“What is wrong with this country? What is wrong with these people?” 

That was MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, on his second day of ignorantly screeching about blackness, while not having a single black person on the panel of his show to answer him.

Like the "good" folks over at Althouse (and other fine white establishments) Hot Air also seems to approve this having-no-blacks-around-to-answer-white's-yelled-questions approach, saying "Joe Scarborough tears into the ‘hands up’ members of Congress," instead of the more accurate "Joe Scarborough ignorantly flails before the nation". (Better to have conservative whites, without the answers - but attempting to supply them - as a way to drive the hosts into suffering a full-blown panic.) Here's TMR's idea, free of charge:

MSNBC should hire a special "surprise" group of bone-through-the-nose black "cannibals," to push a pot of boiling water out for Joe, and they'll get the same reaction - plus better ratings - AND some black guys will have work. Make it a regular thing, whenever Joe loses it, and the black guys will even have a job.

But - before whites can try that - let me just say, I'm sure they can stop discriminating (and segregating) long enough to find at least one black person, somewhere, who agrees with conservatives enough (or at least their outrage enough) to also tolerate being physically around whites, white's ignorance of our own country, and the taint/aura of white supremacy - on television - all at the same time. Really. I know that's possible.

If not, all I can fully say, until then, is - wow, thanks:

While Joe's helpless yelping isn't very informative, it certainly makes for riveting black television,...

Few Americans Can Accept What They've Done To Us

”Can we just put aside all we think we know about black communities (most of which could fit in a thimble, truth be told) and imagine what it must feel like to walk through life as the embodiment of other people’s fear, as a monster that haunts their dreams the way Freddie Kreuger does in the movies? To be the physical representation of what marks a neighborhood as bad, a school as bad, not because of anything you have actually done, but simply because of the color of your skin? Surely that is not an inconsequential weight to bear. To go through life, every day, having to think about how to behave so as not to scare white people, or so as not to trigger our contempt—thinking about how to dress, and how to walk and how to talk and how to respond to a cop (not because you’re wanting to be polite, but because you’d like to see your mother again)—is work; and it’s harder than any job that any white person has ever had in this country. To be seen as a font of cultural contagion is tantamount to being a modern day leper.”

The Coolest Thing About Chris Rock's Race Comments Is Crazy Whites Can't Hurt Him Like They Will The Poor

Untouchable - unlike almost everybody else, with black skin, stuck with the "not as crazy"

When Chris Rock recently said “White people were crazy. Now they’re not as crazy," all he was saying was something many blacks say every day. But with his money and platform, unlike poor blacks, Rock can't be shunned, punished, fired, or anything else the "not as crazy" will do in 2014, that further reveals them as,...well, crazy. Here's another white behavior he got away with ratting out:

”We treat racism in this country like it’s a style that America went through. Like flared legs and lava lamps. Oh, that crazy thing we did. We were hanging black people. We treat it like a fad instead of a disease that eradicates millions of people."

"These white's kids are going to make GREAT neighbors for blacks!"

Yep. Centuries of murdering black American citizens - and our relatives - with no punishment, for anyone, because the country was into it? No big deal. Blacks should've gotten over that, and should feel perfectly comfortable with whites by now, right? If you said "Yes," I've got news for you: only a crazy person would think so. Which is "not as crazy" as your forefathers, but still pretty nuts.

Is he out of a job for having a "bad attitude" - or sharing Chris Rock's outlook?

But here's the thing: in the real world, "not as crazy" whites can, and do, retaliate when poor blacks dare to speak these truths - and there's no Civil Rights laws protecting those blacks (against whatever evil whites choose to further perpetuate) under those circumstances. The whites choose to destroy black lives and consider themselves "colorblind" racial warriors for doing so - which is waaay more crazy than most poor blacks can handle.

The perpetuation of white's "crazy" perspective is a huge part of American life 

Right now, blacks hardly talk to whites at all, simply because we know what they can do, will do, and have done - from personal experience. Tell a "not as crazy" white "friend" about the writing of Ta-Nehisi Coates and, if they feel bad about it, we also have to watch our backs for the results of their "not as crazy" emotional upheaval: maybe they'll start spreading a rumor the poor black is now a racist, or the "not as crazy" whites will begin changing the terms of a make-or-break deal for the poor black (ensuring the poor "racist" black can't succeed) or any number of other options at their disposal from the perch of white supremacy and privilege. 

Forcing the non-crazy into reasoning with the insane is insane

Considering they outnumber us 6 to 1, and most blacks have several white friends (as compared to the average white's one black associate) that's multiple cases of "not as crazy" blow-back a poor individual  must contend with absorbing, merely for speaking to your fellow well-moneyed citizens honestly.

"To say that black people have made progress would be to say they deserve what happened to them,..."

White people are still crazy - and, maybe, just as evil - as they have always been

Oh well, unless they're a cop, at least the "not as crazy" can't just outright kill us any longer,...

The Race To Grow Up Fast In The NewAge? (It's Mine)

White Mischief (1987) sums it up quite well, I think, though it's - still - also not the best example

I think, it's pretty safe to say, the new millennium has finally kicked in for America (because it waited too long to define itself) and so, we're at just about the point where our different culture is making it's way into being - mostly because it's not backing down:

  “Fuck the South. Fuck 'em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep.”

Witch doctors have just as much dignity 

Yes, I sense the forces of evil making way, so the battle for our cultural wreckage's coherency has begun, with the first of the broken shards being laid just-so:

  “Just how screwed up is Wisconsin?”

"The good life," as defined by others, was always a cheap and crappy cornball concoction 

"The first shall be last and the last shall be first" is the biblical lesson, which everyone's taking from, that's stood the test of time:

  “If poor people knew how rich rich people are, there would be riots in the streets. If the average person could see the Virgin Airlines first-class lounge, they’d go, ‘What? What? This is food, and it’s free, and they … what? Massage? Are you kidding me?’”

How do you say "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie" in spanish? 

 Another way to say it - just as popular in the modern world - is "Babylon must fall": 

 “There's very strong feelings out there that we shouldn't give people money for nothing.”

The difference, between being "somebody" and "any body", is going to drive celebrities crazy 

 And it must, because few Americans are going to go another hundred years listening to moneyed fools, spouting nonsense:

  “I hate to say it, but a lot of it had to do with the women’s lib movement.”

Those with the blues can smile again

Now other lives will matter - as much as they always did - even when the previous "thought leaders" thought not:

  “The single worst moment in Officer Darren Wilson’s testimony about the day he shot Michael Brown came when he called the unarmed teenager “it,” saying at one point, “it looks like a demon.” He also compared him to “Hulk Hogan” and described him as “bulking up” as if to magically “run through” his bullets. But somehow the word “it” cut through the delusional, self-aggrandizing dramatics and showed the problem at the heart of their encounter: To Wilson, Mike Brown wasn’t human. “It” was a “demon.”

Yet Wilson’s often incredible testimony about the threat posed by Brown carried the day, and the grand jury declined to indict the cop for killing the unarmed teen,…”

This bit should've been a tip-off to where all this was going

 They had all the time in the world to get their story straight:

   “Yeah, it’s unfair that you can get judged by something you didn’t do, but it’s also unfair that you can inherit money that you didn’t work for.”



All of their credibility is gone

 But now they're old, their mind's broken, without even a leg to stand on:

  “No one really wants to admit I exist.” 

And all because of a "demon" race - with it's pants down

Time for them - all - to go:

  "I have always been proud of my association with Temple University. I have always wanted to do what would be in the best interests of the university and its students. As a result, I have tendered my resignation . . ."

Having To Understand White Americans Better Than They Know Themselves Is A Full-Time Job All By Itself

Learning it is easy - unraveling it is what's hard

Most White People in America Are Completely Oblivious

Black people have to learn everything about white people just to stay alive. White people just don't get that.

That ‘Show a Little Class’ GOP Staffer Is Now Resigning

One look at her screams "I know that young demographic!"

Joe Scarborough Takes A Stand: "What Am I Missing?"

The White-Wing media is having a blast watching Joe Scarborough getting flustered over the Ram's salute to Ferguson, since Joe swallowed the police's leaked-bait that Michael Brown stole some cigars, and thus deserved to die. Scarborough ignorantly steamrolls right over respectability politics (because there's no one on his panel who understands it) before acknowledging a lot of differences (but not the urgency) in how blacks and whites live - and are living - even as Joe's (oh so comfortably) speaking. He finally then passes the mic, only to discover only one person in the studio ("an old white guy") agrees with him. It looks like few outside agree as well.

But that's our White-Wing media:

There's no telling what they'll find inspiring,...

What Are White People Defending But A Right To Lie?

Since when is not wanting to lose your life merely a different point of view?

Ann Althouse's and her son John Althouse Cohen's mother-son racism disposal team appears to find great comfort in this Bill Clinton malarky, much like the Confederate's loved ones found joy in rumours of a win for the South:

"You know, Americans have come so far since, let's say, the era of Joe McCarthy. I mean, think about it. We're less racist. We're less sexist. We're less homophobic than we used to be. We only have one remaining bigotry. We don't want to be around anybody who disagrees with us."

Where has, how far whites have come, gotten blacks?

Naturally, all you have to do is add black Americans to the dialogue and you'll notice "we're" having less of a disagreement than white's, specifically, are still copping a pose - trying to be slippery, so as to insist white's rate of "progress" (AKA who they can stand to be around) be the status quo:

"To say that black people have made progress would be to say they deserve what happened to them before. 

So, to say Obama is progress is saying that he’s the first black person that is qualified to be president. That’s not black progress. That’s white progress. There’s been black people qualified to be president for hundreds of years."

That was too easy for dispatching a white law professor:

It'll probably be centuries before these mixed-up, self-serving, mutants will ever stop trying to be clever in our lifetimes,...
