Lauren Silberman Kicks the Patriarchy!




So a woman tired out as a kicker for the NFL. Below is Good Morning America's discussion of the topic. This is the standard for journalism in America. Notice that no "journalist" questioned her lack of experience. Or the fact that she stated that playing football video games was one of her qualifications. Instead they went into the usual  propaganda mode of stating how "amazing" and "incredible" she was.

On a side note, the new "journalist" is pretty cute. Although she looks White her last name end in a "z". So diversity points for that!



Here is the heroic Lauren Silberman trying to kick a football. Honestly, this is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen.







Take that Patriarchy!

    What's most amusing is that she tried out for kicker. She didn't try out for the more demanding positions pretty much monopolized by black players.

    Since she tried out for a position that is all white, the implication is that white male = white female.

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
