"I Had To Be Perfect So I Didn't Ruin It For Anyone Else"

How a Black Flight Attendant's 1956 Lawsuit Changed the Airline Industry Forever

Love Was Never Free When They Trapped The Kids In It

The hippies couldn't tell the truth about The Civil Rights Movement, they couldn't tell the truth about Kennedy, they couldn't tell the truth about Harvey Milk or gays in general. They are a generation that simply can't tell the truth - and the first job, of the next, is to escape this edifice of lies the hippies built:

"In the 50 years since J.D. Salinger removed himself from the public eye and stopped publishing, he has been viewed — more accurately, worshiped — as the human embodiment of purity, a welcome antidote to phoniness. To many, he was a kind of god."

"A god"? Can you imagine anyone being so stupid? Some god:

Salinger was just another, in this long line of NewAge "guru" perv con artists, allowed to molest the naive and gullible, because the other delusional pervs wanted it that way, and nothing more.

And I dare anyone to say I'm wrong,...

 

The Worst Thing A Black Conservative Can Be Is Black

Listen to Glenn Reynolds, thinking they've done something big, and like anybody gives a damn:

“DRUDGE BRINGS THE SMACK”

Oh SNAP! Somebody DOES give a damn! Like a fan of his who seems to have the partisan depth of a fish tank:

“AprilApple said... 

*burp*

 

Black republicans are non-persons. 

August 28, 2013 at 7:38 PM”

Oh, Heavens! You mean it's happening amongst Democrats, too! Somebody make it stop! Yeah - blacks are non-persons, especially with the likes of those two, only trotted out when they have a point to make, usually benefitting themselves. (I don't even know who this black senator is so, clearly, making him known - before now - has been the Right's top priority, correct?) And, of course, they now want we "non-persons" to do what they won't, and wade into a black mob and start causing trouble. You know, like their hero, Allen West, would do if he was there:

“If yesterday’s luncheon commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington is any indication, it’s a version of traditional black conservatism, with its emphasis on community building and uplift. 

Organized by the Republican National Committee, this event was both a celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, and a showcase for black Republicanism. The large majority of the attendees were African-American, and they included former congressman Allen West, T.W. Shannon (speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives), Alveda King (niece of Martin Luther King Jr.), and a large variety of party members and activists. 

Figures like West have made themselves famous by decrying the 'Democratic plantation' and attacking other African-Americans for their partisan affiliation, but that rhetoric was absent from the program.”

Hmmm. West seemed to have lost his nerve or something. Somehow - whether it's Glenn Reynolds or his readers and associates - I don't think that's the kind of "speaking truth to power" they had in mind.

I mean, I know from experience, they definitely don't appreciate it when they're the power being spoken to - well, they appreciate whatever means are at their disposal to shut it down (like their challengers are black senators!) - but they don't appreciate being put on the spot for THEIR nonsense.

Here's a few articles I found yesterday that Ol' Glenn Boy isn't informing anybody of, or trying to start any problems around, as he attempts to instigate some black-on-somebody violence, or something, elsewhere:

25 African Americans Denied Service At Restaurant Because White Patrons Felt Threatened By Them

When Your (Brown) Body is a (White) Wonderland 

(BTW - I have NEVER seen an article about this problem going the other way - and I never will on Instapundit. "21st Century Relationships", anybody?)

Albert Einstein Called Racism “A Disease of White People” in His Little-Known Fight for Civil Rights

Listen To An Unearthed Martin Luther King Jr. Recording You've Never Heard

White People Know More About Racism Than Any Of Us

Dear Twerk Thieves and Ratchet Robbers

None of which are worth the time of Glenn Reynolds, The Great White Informer, because he doesn't have an interest in telling us anything about being black while I know a lot about being white. (7 out of 8 people I see a day are white.) I see Reynolds' bullshit every day, and not even a third of what he's talking about holds any relevance for me, what-so-ever.

Which figures, considering,...

 

You've Got Experience - Mine's Black - And That's Weird

Months After an Assassination Attempt, a Bangladeshi Atheist Blogger is Still Speaking Out

The Dark Side of "I Have a Dream": The FBI's War on Martin Luther King

"I came up with Ruckus before the Tea Party, and before Herman Cain. But in the post-Obama era, half the country became Uncle Ruckus. The world is more polarized and extreme. Ruckus embodies that. I remember watching CNN when Herman Cain was the frontrunner for the Republican party, and they did a segment on whether Herman Cain was Uncle Ruckus. [Ed. note: This segment is no longer available online.] They brought in an expert and had pictures of them side by side... I couldn’t believe what I was watching. When Ruckus was first introduced, he felt like a funny, fringe character. He was bizarre and really extreme. Now, he feels like he represents a lot of right wing ideology. It’s crazy, but the times caught up to him."

Blacking Up: Hip-Hop's Remix of Race and Identity

"Police said Vincent Bright is religious and took the body in hopes his father would be resurrected."

Don't Say I'm Preaching To The Choir (On Miley Cyrus)

Jazz lovers know this, and with Jazz, you can't get more upright, suit-and-tie. But - just as with religion - there's a real musical world, along side the made-up bullshit we're fed:

“The same kinds of dynamics still occur. The general public is unaware of artists of color who are punk, country, alternative, or any other label record companies use to identify them. To some, these artists appear as outsiders.”

And in the current situation, we are. 

Just as with religion, visions of Hell predominate. It doesn't matter they don't believe in Hell, it's the chain-yanking that's important, with blacks as the chain. C'mon, that's Madonna's entire career, and she's been rewarded handsomely for it, by the #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen feminists.

Why shouldn't Miley Cyrus expect the same?

Another question is why didn't anybody expect Miley's shenanigans to begin with? Didn't Jay-Z turn her out on his last album - for civil rights and all that - while taking his work to the high-end galleries?

Miley believes in that. And, pro or con, so does everyone else.

 

They want to, somehow.

Here's a white female Rapper, showing some rhyming potential, but notice the uniform hand gestures - and the uniform itself? Her "homies"? It's all so tired. But there she is, talking about white privilege.

I keep waiting for her head to explode.

 Meanwhile - back in the real world - I told you about Glenn Reynolds missing Kendrick Lamar starting a tidal wave:

Oh, it's on. 

Big Sean's album "Hall of Fame" doesn't drop until August 27, but the rapper already got upstaged on his own track, "Control." The leaked song features contributing verses by Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica, but the spotlight is arguably on Lamar. 

Understandably so: Kendrick goes on full blast, crowning himself the "King of New York" (mind you, he hails from Compton) and name-checking several leaders in the game. In a sample lyric, Lamar attests, "I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you ..." 

The rapper cites celebrities all over the map -- everyone from Phil Jackson to Lindsay Lohan, famous Brits Paul McCartney and Sean Connery, and rappers including Wale, Pusha T, Mac Miller, Drake and Tyler the Creator. 

This competitive challenge hasn't gone unnoticed. Both unmentioned and dissed rappers are posting their responses to the track. Memes are popping up at the speed of light. Some unlikely stars are even throwing in their two cents.

But even those who are aware of the controversy are mostly missing the larger story and it's implications:

Lamar's breakout album, Good Kid/M.A.A.D. City, was about his efforts, as a Christian, to resist temptation - which, I think we can agree, ain't exactly Miley's concern. 

Now he's demanding everyone DO BETTER. A message most would doubt is even being discussed in Rap. Much less, taken seriously, or that it's happening organically, in it's own very Rap/Hip-Hop way, with no input from the outside.

It's like religion, very few want anyone else to know anything else, except for what they tell them. 

 Because that would mean they'd actually have to start talking about other kinds of ideas.

And - it's a fact - there's weirdoes wandering around out there,...

 

A Presence, Over-Riding Everything, Denying They Exist

It's interesting that black Boomers can admit this while white Boomers take umbrage:

The Civil Rights Generation made massive progress, but in many ways they dropped the ball. While they made it clear that there was work to be done, too many of them did not choose those who would do it. Too much energy and focus has been placed on one or two people, and we need cohorts of the next generation to work together. 

The Baby Boom Generation (mine) has dropped the ball as well. We have been beneficiaries of the Civil Rights Generation, but we have not passed our largess or our lessons on.

Too, too, correct: 

The generations after the Baby Boom are poor for a reason - and it has little to do with us,...  

We're Positively Gay About The Implications Presented

Can somebody alert me to what episode of Will & Grace this situation was covered:

A man arrives at Heathrow airport. He’s not a journalist, but someone carrying a mystery package for a friend. What he’s carrying could, by common consent, have huge implications for the national security of the UK if it fell into the wrong hands. By definition, the wrong hands could include terrorists. 

What do we honestly expect the UK authorities to do? Give him a sly wink and say “off you go son, you have a nice trip”? 

It’s clear David Miranda wasn’t stopped because he was Glenn Greenwald’s partner. He was stopped because he was suspected of carrying classified information highly detrimental to the UK national interest. And if we don’t stop people because of that, who do we stop?

Good question.

It all sounds so much like The American Civil Rights Movement, it's scary,...

 

I Wanna Be Rich (So I Can Know What Real Misery Is,...)

I linked to this article in the last post, but after reading it in it's entirety, this quote made me laugh in recognition (first one of the day!) so here it is, as gays attempt to cross the Finish Line before us:

What is the ideology of the LGBT lobby, by the way?  And why does it seem to clash so incessantly with the views of black people, who are -- with the notable exception of Jason Collins, Barack Obama, and Obama's die-hard followers -- unimpressed with the comparison between their lives and the claims of the LGBT lobby? 

People who love the same sex come with many different agendas and experiences.  The peculiar ideology of the LGBT lobby, however, seems fashioned perfectly to inflame the rage and resistance of African-Americans.  First, the ideology is based on biological determinism.  The repeated appeals to the Fourteenth Amendment depend upon the notion that homosexuals are born with their orientation in the same way black people are born with dark skin.  This isn't the most inviting way to start a comparison: "Hi, I'm a guy who loves playing with other men's genitals, and that's just like you being black!"

Yeah, leaving out any suggestion blacks have liked it, just stick to descriptions of getting fucked (sometimes by strangers) and we might - *might* - be able to see where you're coming from. One more thing - it's weird how groups claiming to be oppressed by blacks always fall into this category:

"Economic data is irrefutable: The normative statistics for a homosexual in the USA include a Bachelor's degree: For gay men, the median household income is $83,000/yr. (Gay singles $62,000; gay couples living together $130,000), almost 80% above the median U.S. household income of $46,326, per census data. For lesbians, the median household income is $80,000/yr. (Lesbian singles $52,000; Lesbian couples living together $96,000); 36% of lesbians reported household incomes in excess of $100,000/yr. Compare that to the median income of the non-college educated Black male of $30,539. The data speaks for itself."

 

And that data says Hendrix was right:

"The more money you make,...the more blues you can sing,..."
