I Now Understand Why That Mormon Guy Told Me To Call Him (If Anybody Ever Tried To Make Me A Slave)

If I had done that last post, and had a black readership, I would've been high-fived.

I didn't used to write about the paradox of being black in America. I insisted the topic was pointless, useless, a waste of my time and my country's.

But you know what happened? I got shouted down - by white people. How many times did I stomp away from Althouse, because race was a never-ending topic, with me as it's subtext whether anybody else realized it or not? 

I stopped counting.

But now I say O.K., you want to talk? Let's talk. My blog. I speak up and (as most blacks would tell me, and many did, offline) my one black voice is vile - because I don't agree about some white folks' take on the truth of my black existence amongst them. Among other things. I mean, there's been a controversy over how I talk, and now it's gotten to what I say. I've even been told how to interpret my past. Easy to do, if you're Althouse and German, but not if you're of somewhere-in-African descent.

Basically, it's Native Son all over again (now online!) while we pretend it's all-so-very over, for your own convenience and/or peace of mind. I told you I wanted it over. But no - everybody had to choose up sides over Trayvon! (The musical) And before that it was something else. And before that it was something else. Whites choose their battles. I didn't want it and had nothing to do with it.

But, thanks to y'all, I've since had to choose.

And on race, I choose, conservatives are as fucking weird, confusing, and clueless - and confining - as liberals, any day,...

You Wanna See Laziness? (It's Ben Affleck As Batman)

Since Batman is TMR's unofficial mascot, I thought about saying something on this casting decision, but had decided against commenting until I saw this:

Is Ben Affleck man enough to play “Batman?” 

Controversy erupted across social media networks when Warner Bros. announced Thursday the 41-year-old Affleck will star in the newest version of the Dark Knight, a movie that promises to bring Batman and Superman together.

Talk about a symbol of what's wrong with Hollywood. Who in their right mind would consider Ben Affleck to play Bruce Wayne? Isn't that kind of fucking with our memories a bit much? And not in a good way?

And what must Hollywood think of Dark Knight fans (the only reason the movies got started) to put an unabashed liberal in the costume, of an unabashed conservative crime fighter, liberals had labeled a "fascist" when shown in his original form?

You KNOW they were planning on doing their liberal hocus-pocus on our hero. Well, fuck them:

When it comes to my man, Hollywood can't just feed us anything,...

 

I Take Donations (With Promise Of Bang For Your Buck)

It's sad to discover people in politics don't understand the obvious already, but it's grand to see someone (else, besides myself) admitting the worth of college professors:

“I am in this business to win. I don’t know why you are in it. I am in this to win,” Christie said at the luncheon, his first appearance a meeting of the RNC. 

“I think we have some folks who believe that our job is to be college professors,” he said. “Now college professors are fine I guess. Being a college professor, they basically spout out ideas that nobody does anything about. For our ideas to matter we have to win. 

Because if we don’t win, we don’t govern. And if we don’t govern all we do is shout to the wind. And so I am going to do anything I need to do to win.” 

Christie also appeared to rap Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, another potential White House hopeful who made headlines in January when he implored the GOP to “stop being the stupid party.” 

"I'm not going to be one of these people who goes around and calls our party stupid,” Christie said, a startling remark given that Jindal and Christie work hand-in-hand as chairman and vice-chairman of the Republican Governors Association. 

“We need to stop navel gazing," he added. "There's nothing wrong with our principles. We need to focus on winning again. There's too much at stake for this to be an academic exercise. We need to win and govern with authority and courage."

O.K., Folks, there's your Clinton Coronation Killer. He can do it and he's up for the game. Now, are you going to be the libs during Iraq and try to screw the pooch for y(ourselves), or will you finally rip the weakened Hilldabeast - specifically as the Democrats' vile "feminist" leader - a new one? 

Fuck the Instapundit and his petty, antiseptic political anemia, and fuck Ann Althouse's vile Gay Womyn's Chorus - it's been two election cycles, and they've proven they don't get it, and never will.

Walk with me now - I understand scams.

Ann & Glenn? Great couple of Amazon salespeople, though you must admit one thing:

Clearly, the worst thing that's happened to me recently (besides my back problems and the financial hole it's landing me in) is a bunch of white conservatives trying to make me break with black people, because those conservatives feel put-upon (over this Trayvon bullshit) when they're too chicken shit to defend themselves to other blacks since they're afraid to be called racists.

I'm sick of it.

Black conservatives have to catch all their shit AND the stupid shit our black friends say.

It appears white conservatives are only aware of white bullshit when liberals deliver it.

Then, white conservatives know all about how hard it is to be a black conservative.

But let a black conservative speak about white conservatives and they, too, become a pit of vipers.

A black conservative, trying to navigate between these two insane, race-obsessed sides can't win.

Nobody really wants to be reasonable.

I try to love everybody, but nobody's making it easy, and whites won't tackle the main issue:

As we think about the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, we’re reminded of something National Urban League Director Whitney Young said during that event in 1963: “The hour is late. The gap is widening.” Young was referring to the prosperity gap between blacks and whites. Fifty years later, that large gap remains. 

On average, white families have six times the wealth of black and Hispanic families. So for every $6.00 a white family has in wealth, black and Hispanic families have only about $1.00 (e.g., $632,000 vs. $103,000). If we look at the typical, or median, family, the wealth values are lower (e.g., $123,800 vs. $15,700), but the ratio is larger: 8 to 1.

Sorry but - right now - all I can say is, that didn't happen by accident, and "Fuck All Y'all" for it.

White and black.

And I'll also remind white conservatives of one other thing:

No matter what criticisms I have of him, MLK never reminds me of the racists of old, like a bunch of angry race-obsessed white conservatives do,...
