Anyone Want To Join My "Racist" Club?

"Here...Have a White Sheet And Some Scissors"


I love the way most people like to "hit and run" "comment and run" when they find something on a blog which appears to go against their government educated beliefs and/or offends their delicate multi-cultural racial/sexual sensibilities.

It doesn't matter what you say or how you say it, it never fails that if you address certain topics or use certain words at least SOMEONE is going to speak up and object. cry and snivel and complain.

I'm surprised it took as long as it did to get someone's ears smoking with this posting from last Wednesday which I titled "One Dumb Stupid Mulatto Negro Black Man African American."

As I posted earlier, the commenter said "How nice of you to inject race into your blog, President Jimmy Carter Got it right. And you Sir, live in the wrong time."

Then they added "Don't bother replying to my comment, I won't be back to read it."

OK...(taking a big breath)...let's get a few thing straight.

NUMBER 1. It's my Blog and I'll say anything I want to here (except things that would make Google shut down my free site or specifically threaten the lives of the President and other high ranking officials.)

NUMBER 2. In writing the words "Mulatto" or "Negro" or "Black Man" in front of the words "African American," I knew that I was going to make some people wince and piss a few others off completely, BUT...

I'd like to point out that each and every one of those words have legitimately been used in my lifetime i.e. the past 50 years in this county by polite "non-colored" citizenry when referring to people of dark skin color descending genetically from the continent of Africa.

When I was a kid in rural Alabama in the 1960's, being polite white people of anglo European descent, I was taught that the word "Nigger" was offensive and instead refered to our maid and other "black" persons as "Negro" or "Niggra" or simply "colored."

I guess that "niggra" was too close to "Nigger" and "colored" left open the answer to the question "what color?", so then sometime in the 1970's, in an effort to keep all the White folks off balance and inject the latest distillations of the current cultural movements from NY and Detroit and LA into everyone's lives, all of us "crackers" were told that "Negro" and Niggra" and "colored" was inaccurate and offensive, we should just call a proud black man a "black man" or a dark skinned woman a "black woman."

By the way...anyone but me ever wondered why the people living here from Southeast Asia and the Caribbean/South America didn't get on the same bandwagon or start up their own movement coining, defining, qualifying, endorsing "official" politically correct self identifying terminology while at the same time expressing outrage at their supposed political and cultural insufficiency?

Fortunately they didn't, and instead elected to melt into the "melting pot" and enjoy the benefits of living in the United By God States of 'Merica and have been rewarded with the kinds of social and educational and financial success which still escape the followers of the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

Bless all of their multi-national, multi-racial, mult-cultural, multi-colored hearts for shutting the %$#@ up and getting on with life rather than making a career and thinly veiled political movement out of their "victimhood."

Further, remembering that we're still stuck here under my point NUMBER 2, my reference using the word "mulatto" to address someone of mixed racial descent is not directly an insult....it's simply descriptive (look it up on Wikipedia) :

"Mulatto denotes a person with one white parent and one black parent or a person who has both black ancestry and white ancestry. The term may be perceived as pejorative in some cultures and situations. Its current usage varies greatly."

Unfortunately, currently it is considered an outrage to make any reference to any part of a person's appearance or persona which is in fact "different" from yourself and/or your peers.

And finally, apparently not being satisfied with phraseology using something like skin color as an identification, forward looking self appointed black leaders like Jackson and Sharpton settled on the self identification terminology "African American" as the descriptor of choice continuing until today...

although most of these same people using the "African American" identification were at least SEVEN generations from ever having set foot on the continent of Africa ( and I suppose that 3/4 of those same people couldn't find Africa on a Map or Globe with a flashlight and a magnifying glass...)

NUMBER 3. I really don't give a darn what most people think when I write here on this blog.

I do not write specifically to GAIN readership or attract any specific group of readers. If I did I would resort to sticking key words like "Patrick Swayze Death" in my titles and enjoy having nearly a THOUSAND HITS like I did over the past few days when the people in Europe finally found out the guy had died.

Then if I was getting that kind of traffic, instead of the normal measly 50 hits a day I get, I'd have the sidebar and header of this blog covered up with blog ads for Viagra and Hair replacement and "conservative tee shirts and mugs" and God knows what else.

But I DO NOT WRITE TO PLEASE ANYONE BUT MYSELF, thus I do not give a RATS ASS if my lovely, talented, well intended yet culturally/racially sensitive commenter ever comes back.

I offer my sincere, heartfelt approval to anyone who reads and is offended by a single word I write to NOT EVER COME BACK.

EVER....

NUMBER 4. This is the most important point that Jimmuh Carter and my commenter and most of the lamestream/dead tree media don't understand or refuse to recognise...

I would just as vehemently object to Obama's policies and inane utterings and apologizings regardless of the skin color or hair color or shoe size of any other person forcing them upon me and speaking supposedly on behalf of me and my country.

Understand?

Now, let me see if I can find where I put my scissors...I have some eyeholes to cut...
