Too Many White Men in the Tea Party

Image
Jacob Weisberg of Slate.com (and Newsweek) has determined that the Tea Party movement is a BAD THING because it is - “a movement predominated by middle-class, middle-aged white men angry about the expansion of government and hostile to societal change.” http://www.slate.com/id/2267685/ Jacob Weisberg (Slate.com reporter) and David Plotz (Slate.com editor)     Interesting.

BlackAtlas.com Visits Tulsa

American Airlines has launched BlackAtlas.com a web portal specific for African American travelers. I am not quite sure why African Americans need their own travel portal, but here it is. http://www.blackatlas.com/ Currently there is no word if American Airlines is considering other race specific portals. I imagine WhiteAtlas – Your Passport to the White experience would not be allowed. Obviously, such a portal would be HATE and RACIST. But maybe it would be OK with other races. YellowAtlas – Asian RedAtlas – Native American BrownAtlas – Hispanic

Reality Mugs a Liberal

Image
Ken Foster, a White Liberal commentator for Salon.Com, was mugged in New Orleans a year ago. It seems that he was hit from behind with a two-by-four and knocked to the ground. At that point he was robbed of his iPhone. Ken suffered ear damaged that resulted in a loss of hearing and required surgery. Ken wrote a piece for Salon.com in which he lamented the return of the criminal element to New Orleans. http://www.salon.com/life/life_stories/index.html?story=/mwt/feature/2010/08/25/katrina_five_years_later&source=newsletter&utm_source=contactology&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Salon_Daily%2520Newsletter%2520%2528Not%2520Premium%2529_7_30_110 Some people took him to task for not mentioning the obvious – he was attacked by a group of African Americans. Had the races been reversed this incident would have resulted in non-stop national news reports screaming in outrage. But since he is White, the police didn’t even bother to investigate the crime. Of course, the mention of ra...

Eat, Pray and Love - A Movie Review

Image
Eat, Pray and Love is a book and a movie that celebrates some middle-age White woman as she runs off and travels the world for a year while engaging in pseudo spiritual bullshit. In reality she just stuffed her face, drank and fucked around for a year while pretending to be some sort of enlightened humanitarian. Feminists love this movie claiming that is “empowering.” (This begs the question - Is there ANYTHING women do that is not empowering?) An Empowered Woman  In interest in gender equality, I thought it might be fun to create a similar movie that would appeal to me. My guess is that the feminists who find Eat, Pray and Love empowering would be the first to scream like banshees at the wickedness of my movie. Just a wild guess. An Empowered Man

Repeal the 19th amendment

Google celebrated the 90th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution on their home page today. While I am sure Google is motivated by patriotism, I am somewhat skeptical we will see Google celebrating the 2nd amendment any time soon. Just a wild guess. Of course, the 19th amendment guarantees the right of women to vote. It is hard for modern Americans to understand that the majority of our ancestors were opposed to such a notion. Our children are taught in public schools that the reason people were opposed to women’s suffrage was due to ignorance and institutional sexism. The actual writings from men and women who opposed women’s suffrage are not provided to our children. Well, from down the memory hole I was able to find as essay written by Madeline Dahlgren. Madeline represented many women who objected to the idea of women voting. The essay can be found at this location: http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/sceti/printedbooksNew/index.cfm?TextID=19950_O_16&Pag...
