"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Victimhood is equal opportunity. It is not a respecter of persons. The perceived victims degrade themselves, their families, and the supposed victimizer.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, the movie will be finished and seen, but there is little hope that Blacks, in general, will be moved. Popular culter activists like "Jet" magazine aid in the oppression of Blacks by publishing alerts that voting rights are in jeopardy, as is done in the February issue. The laud domestic terrorist Angela Davis as a distinguished professor and academic, as well as her ties to the Black Panthers. They leave her comments out that were made at the height of the war on Whites from the Black Power days when the she stated all people with one suit in their closet would be shot in the coming revolution. Any we wonder why Blacks can't break the chains that bind them.
Unfortunately, there are all too many people who prefer to take the path of least resistance, and blame others for their woes.
ReplyDeleteI remember Angela Davis in her heyday. What a piece of work she was, and probably still is.
ReplyDeleteI just got back from a long weekend at a polymer clay artists' retreat, where I was rooming with a very sweet, very talented black lady about my age. She watched MSNBC for the news, and BET for her entertainment every night, and I got a weekend's earful of some of the propaganda people like her are subjected to, because they never think to look elsewhere (though to be fair, as far as black people go, little publicity is ever given to Any Other View).
And just for the record, Anderson Cooper has to be the stupidest man on the planet.
As a white guy, I want to shrug my shoulders and move on from any racial discussion of anything.
ReplyDeleteI just don't care about any of it.

I'm sure you would have liked to broach the subject just as badly as I did with the woman on the plane. But you knew that the honey would turn to vinegar. Hopefully, her experience with you and a few others that weekend will cause her to realize the lies she is being fed.
ReplyDeletePolymer clay is fun. Do you have a website? I'd love to see some of your creations.
