We Can See Everything (Except Whatever's Blinding Us)

There's something kind of heartening, and validating, in my bad ass being hated and ignored when this message echoes my daily output:

“The country’s elites – of both political parties and across the political spectrum – have been wrong on just about everything they have done since the end of the Cold War.”

Let's see, that's the Boomers, NewAgers (and other cultists) race hustlers, motivational speakers, newscasters, and,...

 

My Dinner: An Expired Can Of Soup - Eaten In Freedom

Today I was told I'm becoming the thing I hate. I don't know if that's better than becoming the thing he hates:

“To all the folks living in poverty and drug and crime-infested communities, that was me as well, so I have lived all the lives of the people who come before me.  I can relate to them. I can speak their language.

You know we talk about the criminal justice system and in many ways I think it is criminal in and of itself. Being from the inside and the outside, I have the observation that the justice system, throughout our journey, has been used as a tool of oppression.

We find that we have a system where we fail to educate African-American men and we remove the jobs from their community and replace the jobs with guns and drugs and a failed education system and what we’re seeing now is the majority of our prison population is made up of African-American men.”

- TV's Judge Mathis

So - I can be trapped in a system of racial oppression - or, somewhat out of it, but still talking about a system of racial oppression. Hmmm:

I don't think my accuser's crazy about either option,...

From Hate To Happiness (With Good Stuff In-Between)

"Haters really are going to hate. A new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology corroborates the hip-hop and Internet truism that you just can’t win with some people.

  Millennials Hate Bruce Springsteen

Which, of course, needs to be stamped out - that's the purpose of the article. The writer, being a fan of the adulterous and multi-married Springsteen, he probably thinks, or thought, like this:

Some years ago, the man I am married to told me he had always had a mad desire to go to an orgy. Why on earth, I asked. Why not, he said.

And he'd later be divorced by that woman, who'd become admired for it, because she thinks, or thought, like this:

It would be just like the dances at the YMCA I went to in the seventh grade—only instead of people walking past me and rejecting me, they would be stepping over my naked body and rejecting me.

These are misshapen trolls, presented as our cultural heroes.

Thank goodness, not everyone's following their lead,...

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,...
