Wanda Sykes is funny!



Below is a hilarious clip by Wanda Sykes at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner. It seems some stuffed shirt conservatives are mad because she joked that she hopes Rush Limbaugh dies of kidney failure. That Wanda always cracks me up!

    There was quite a bit of controversy here about her remarks. Lines were crossed there that should not have been crossed, even though she had her defenders on the sunday morning lineup.

    The bigger issue is that our comics are not taking on Obama at all, really. He's like "off limits" to the comedian set still. That's troubling. I think in part it has to do with race -- the taboo making fun of a successful (half) black man. And in part I think it's because the comedian community largely sympathizes with him, and is reluctant to criticize him or poke fun at him in any meaningful way. That's unfortunate, because that kind of ribbing is one of the things that keeps people usefully skeptical of our leadership -- rather than the personality cult I think we are seeing right now.

    I am not big Rush fan but wishing somebody were dead is pretty sad.

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox...

Why don't White Men like White Women?

Image
OKCupid revealed some interesting statistical data based on dating preferences and race.  The higher the number, the greater the interest. For example, Asian men rate Asian women 11% higher that a neutral rating. However, Asian men have no interest (-24%) in black women. What is interesting is that White men now prefer Asian women (18%) over White women (5%). In 2009 White men still preferred White women (10%) over Asian women (6%). It is a rough world for Asian men and Black women. Only Asian women like Asian men. And not even Black men like Black women. http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/race-attraction-2009-2014/ Many Eurasian men are now despondent about their situation. White girls typically do not like Asian men. And Asian girls either want an Asian man or a White man. https://wilkes888.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/final-message-thank-you-everyone/ https://longingfordeath.wordpress.com/2015/02/05/eurasian-mental-illness-in-motion-example-number-1/  https://longingfordeath.wor...
