High Tech Lynch Mob

George Zimmerman is a Hispanic guy who shot a black kid named Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch guy, didn’t like the cut of Martin’s jib when he saw him on the street one night, and ended up shooting Martin. Zimmerman called the cops before he shot Martin. They told Zimmerman to back off, but he didn’t.

Zimmerman claims Martin attacked him. Even if that’s true, it’s not all that good for Zimmerman. By Zimmerman’s own account, he pursued and confronted Martin, and there’s audio of their confrontation. Who knows what Martin thought? He was on foot being followed by a stranger in a car. Maybe he got mouthy. Maybe he provoked a fight because he was annoyed or scared.

There is no way Zimmerman was justified in what he did. It’s a good thing that national attention is focused on this case. Spike Lee has publicly posted Zimmerman’s home address on twitter. Others are calling for Zimmerman to be killed. Black activists and opinion makers are drumming up a lynch mob. You’d think at least Al Sharpton would recuse himself, since he has in the past incited mob violence that got people killed. But no, Al is chasing ambulances as usual.

The police chief has put himself on leave. The Justice Department has taken up the case. Martin’s parents have been on every morning talk show.

It’s pretty obvious that Zimmerman is in deep shit now. There is not a single person of any ethnicity in America saying that this shouldn’t be investigated. Zimmerman is going to go to jail. But the lynch mob mentality keeps amping up.

Black people, you should be ashamed of the douchebags you let speak for you. I mean Spike Lee and Al Sharpton and pretty much every so-called black leader except Bill Cosby. This is no longer about righting an injustice. It’s about taking advantage of an injustice to advance a stupid grievance agenda.

UPDATE: Turns out Trayvon Martin was a little shit, not the clean-cut poster-child his parents are trying to paint him to be. Doesn’t mean that Zimmerman was justified in shooting him, but it looks like Zimmerman’s defense team is going to claim Trayvon got shot while struggling for the gun.

All you Neighborhood Watch guys–get more training and get more common sense while you’re at it. Zimmerman had no business getting out of his car. Had he just stayed in his car, none of this would have happened. If you’re going to carry a gun or if you’re going to deliberately put yourself in harms way by looking for bad guys, I recommend reading Rory Miller’s Facing Violence. Miller talks about the “monkey dance” which the Martin/Zimmerman confrontation obviously was.

Zimmerman’s statement on the 911 tape about him being sick and tired of these goons getting away with this–that’s monkey dance talk. And, yes, what Zimmerman said was “goons” not “coons.” And no, I haven’t heard the tape. And fuck you mainstream media for bleeping the tape and reporting that it may have been a racial epithet. Get. Fucking. Serious.

Which brings me to more unnecessary censorship by the media.

Trayvon was suspended from school at the time he died for getting busted with weed. No big deal, in my libertarian mind. Except that Trayvon had a Twitter acount which proves beyond all doubt that Trayvon was a nasty little shit. I’ll bet his parents didn’t know about the NO_LIMIT_NIGGA nom de douchebag under which Trayvon was tweeting. I feel bad for them finding out like this.

The media isn’t going to report in detail his tweets because the FCC would go apeshit if they did. The Daily Caller has posted his last few months tweets in toto without much comment. I’ll give you the good parts version.

My take:

• Trayvon wasn’t a gangsta, just a little brat with a chip on his shoulder.
• He was a pothead and skipped school a lot.
• He displayed a rap-fueled misogyny that is pretty breathtaking. Forget the other issues raised by this case, this is a clear indictment of the moral rot created by the whiny male rage that is 80% of rap music.

Here are some Trayvon verbatim tweets as NO_LIMIT_NIGGA:

Ok, I’m done–that’s about half way through. The rest is just more of the same.

Trayvon didn’t have a lot original to say. But all those re-tweets tell you what he thought.

Zimmerman, in the police reports, is listed with a broken nose and blood on the back of his head. Zimmerman’s friends say Trayvon sucker-punched Zimmerman in the face and when Zimmerman was down Martin was pounding Zimmerman’s head against the sidewalk. We’ll never know if Trayvon jumped Zimmerman because he felt threatened or because he felt offended. Or if Trayvon really was trying to kill Zimmerman by banging his head on the concrete. If Trayvon was trying to kill Zimmerman, he wasn’t very effective.

In any case Zimmerman was the adult in the situation. As facts come out, I have more sympathy for Zimmerman than I did originally. He still exercised terrible, stupid judgment. Given the facts as they appear now–that Zimmerman called the cops, that he got out of his car (before or after he called the cops, I don’t know but it was a stupid move), that he annoyed a testosterone-driven teenager with a racial chip on his shoulder, that Zimmerman verbalized the chip on his shoulder to the 911 operators–if I were on the jury, I’d give Zimmerman some jail time, as an object lesson. Assuming the gun went off while they were struggling, this looks like involuntary manslaughter. Ironically, if Zimmerman deliberately shot Martin to keep from having his head bashed into the sidewalk, I’d be more likely to call it self-defense. Bottom line: everybody, let’s try harder to stay out of stupid “monkey dance” situations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uncle Toms Are Niggers Too

The race card is only played by black activists and their lily-white fellow travelers. Everyone else has decent shame about trying such a jejune trick.

In any rational world, a black person calling another black person an Uncle Tom would be more outside the pale than a white person calling a black person a nigger.

Think about it.

How ugly is it for a white person to call another white person a “race traitor” for defending black people? At least as ugly as black people calling someone an Uncle Tom for not staying on the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton plantation.

Nigger is a privileged word: Black comics flaunt it. Powerful whites dare not say it. Saying nigger in front of whites is a submission signal. How oppressed are you if you can say Heel! to your oppressors like that?

Yoda-like, Not submitting anymore to rich nigger-sayers, I am not going to.

So let’s get clear about nigger:

Nigger is just an ordinary swear word, if not before, starting now. Here are the new rules:

Fuck you every black comic who says nigger 185 times in 45 minutes to be “edgy.” Keep saying it. But from now on, nigger is no better, no worse, no more priviliged than cocksucker or motherfucker.  If you’re a comic, you can say that cocksucker motherfucked my nigger. Or that nigger motherfucked my cocksucker. Or that motherfucker niggered my cocksucker. I get to say it too.

The patent on using the nigger-word as a tool of self-righteousness has expired.

What you can’t do in my new world order  is call a black person an Uncle Tom. Uncle Tom is the new nigger.

I promise, at work, at home, at play next time I hear somebody use the term “Uncle Tom” I will go full-on big black woman in an Oprah audience on that nigger.

What a shitty week it was

I agreed with Rahm Emmanuel and Al Sharpton this week.

It’s BS that they’re trying to stop Rahm from running for mayor of Chicago based on him not having technical residency. Nice job, new-birthers. If people in Chicago want to elect Rahm, that’s what they should get. As HL said, Democracy is the theory that the people know what they want and they deserve to get it good and hard.

And Al Sharpton went after that right-wing douchebag Rick Santorum, after Santorum said that black people should, of all people, especially Obama, be anti-abortion. Rick’s had a pretty hard time explaining why he said that, so let me help Rick’s stupid lily white ass out:

Blacks in America abort their fetuses at a much higher rate than whites. It’s kind of like the Chinese aborting girls. Except blacks abort everything that could cause a child support order unless the mom outweighs the dad. The weight disparity is the only thing that keeps the black not-birth rate from going to 98%.

Anyhow, unless you’re a really stupid black, you would realize this is genocide.

Seriously, that’s exactly what Rick was thinking. Well, I added the crack about fat chicks. Other than that, that’s what Santorum was saying.

I don’t agree with Rick’s secret thoughts that led to his blurt, but I’m still trying to articulate why I don’t agree. Anyway, when Al Sharpton kicks your ass in a debate, you’re a stupid motherfucker. Rick Santorum is a stupid motherfucker.

And black people, seriously, you need to take a good look at your statistics. Crime, unemployment, single mothers, abortions, shitty rap songs…. Seriously, aren’t you getting tired of leading everyone else on all of the above?

Dr. Laura, BIH

All the conservatives thinking she’s been railroaded off the air for offending people’s delicate racial sensitivities need to hear what she actually said.

That might be hard since Dr. Laura has excised it from her web sites copy of the tape. But here’s the transcript (copied and pasted courtesy of Media Matters).

To set the stage, a perfectly nice black woman, a long-suffering black woman, calls up to ask sincerely how to deal with her white husband’s racist yahoo friends coming over and poking at her about race while her puss of a husband pretends he doesn’t notice.

CALLER: Hi, Dr. Laura.
SCHLESSINGER: Hi.
CALLER: I’m having an issue with my husband where I’m starting to grow very resentful of him. I’m black, and he’s white. We’ve been around some of his friends and family members who start making racist comments as if I’m not there or if I’m not black. And my husband ignores those comments, and it hurts my feelings. And he acts like —
SCHLESSINGER: Well, can you give me an example of a racist comment? ‘Cause sometimes people are hypersensitive. So tell me what’s — give me two good examples of racist comments.
CALLER: OK. Last night — good example — we had a neighbor come over, and this neighbor — when every time he comes over, it’s always a black comment. It’s, “Oh, well, how do you black people like doing this?” And, “Do black people really like doing that?” And for a long time, I would ignore it. But last night, I got to the point where it —
SCHLESSINGER: I don’t think that’s racist.
CALLER: Well, the stereotype —
SCHLESSINGER: I don’t think that’s racist. No, I think that —
CALLER: [unintelligible]
SCHLESSINGER: No, no, no. I think that’s — well, listen, without giving much thought, a lot of blacks voted for Obama simply ’cause he was half-black. Didn’t matter what he was gonna do in office, it was a black thing. You gotta know that. That’s not a surprise. Not everything that somebody says — we had friends over the other day; we got about 35 people here — the guys who were gonna start playing basketball. I was going to go out and play basketball. My bodyguard and my dear friend is a black man. And I said, “White men can’t jump; I want you on my team.” That was racist? That was funny.
CALLER: How about the N-word? So, the N-word’s been thrown around —
SCHLESSINGER: Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO, listen to a black comic, and all you hear is nigger, nigger, nigger.
CALLER: That isn’t —
SCHLESSINGER: I don’t get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it’s a horrible thing; but when black people say it, it’s affectionate. It’s very confusing. Don’t hang up, I want to talk to you some more. Don’t go away.
I’m Dr. Laura Schlessinger. I’ll be right back.
After taking a commercial break, Schlessinger resumed her discussion with the caller:

SCHLESSINGER: I’m Dr. Laura Schlessinger, talking to Jade. What did you think about during the break, by the way?
CALLER: I was a little caught back by the N-word that you spewed out, I have to be honest with you. But my point is, race relations —
SCHLESSINGER: Oh, then I guess you don’t watch HBO or listen to any black comedians.
CALLER: But that doesn’t make it right. I mean, race is a [unintelligible] —
SCHLESSINGER: My dear, my dear —
CALLER: — since Obama’s been in office —
SCHLESSINGER: — the point I’m trying to make —
CALLER: — racism has come to another level that’s unacceptable.
SCHLESSINGER: Yeah. We’ve got a black man as president, and we have more complaining about racism than ever. I mean, I think that’s hilarious.
CALLER: But I think, honestly, because there’s more white people afraid of a black man taking over the nation.
SCHLESSINGER: They’re afraid.
CALLER: If you want to be honest about it [unintelligible]
SCHLESSINGER: Dear, they voted him in. Only 12 percent of the population’s black. Whites voted him in.
CALLER: It was the younger generation that did it. It wasn’t the older white people who did it.
SCHLESSINGER: Oh, OK.
CALLER: It was the younger generation —
SCHLESSINGER: All right. All right.
CALLER: — that did it.
SCHLESSINGER: Chip on your shoulder. I can’t do much about that.
CALLER: It’s not like that.
SCHLESSINGER: Yeah. I think you have too much sensitivity —
CALLER: So it’s OK to say “nigger”?
SCHLESSINGER: — and not enough sense of humor.
CALLER: It’s OK to say that word?
SCHLESSINGER: It depends how it’s said.
CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?
SCHLESSINGER: It’s — it depends how it’s said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it’s OK.
CALLER: But you’re not black. They’re not black. My husband is white.
SCHLESSINGER: Oh, I see. So, a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can’t do much about that.
CALLER: I can’t believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the “nigger” word, and I hope everybody heard it.
SCHLESSINGER: I didn’t spew out the “nigger” word.
CALLER: You said, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.”
SCHLESSINGER: Right, I said that’s what you hear.
CALLER: Everybody heard it.
SCHLESSINGER: Yes, they did.
CALLER: I hope everybody heard it.
SCHLESSINGER: They did, and I’ll say it again —
CALLER: So what makes it OK for you to say the word?
SCHLESSINGER: — nigger, nigger, nigger is what you hear on HB —
CALLER: So what makes it —
SCHLESSINGER: Why don’t you let me finish a sentence?
CALLER: OK.
SCHLESSINGER: Don’t take things out of context. Don’t double N — NAACP me. Tape the —
CALLER: I know what the NAACP —
SCHLESSINGER: Leave them in context.
CALLER: I know what the N-word means and I know it came from a white person. And I know the white person made it bad.
SCHLESSINGER: All right. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Can’t have this argument. You know what? If you’re that hypersensitive about color and don’t have a sense of humor, don’t marry out of your race. If you’re going to marry out of your race, people are going to say, “OK, what do blacks think? What do whites think? What do Jews think? What do Catholics think?” Of course there isn’t a one-think per se. But in general there’s “think.”
And what I just heard from Jade is a lot of what I hear from black-think — and it’s really distressting [sic] and disturbing. And to put it in its context, she said the N-word, and I said, on HBO, listening to black comics, you hear “nigger, nigger, nigger.” I didn’t call anybody a nigger. Nice try, Jade. Actually, sucky try.
Need a sense of humor, sense of humor — and answer the question. When somebody says, “What do blacks think?” say, “This is what I think. This is what I read that if you take a poll the majority of blacks think this.” Answer the question and discuss the issue. It’s like we can’t discuss anything without saying there’s -isms?
We have to be able to discuss these things. We’re people — goodness gracious me. Ah — hypersensitivity, OK, which is being bred by black activists. I really thought that once we had a black president, the attempt to demonize whites hating blacks would stop, but it seems to have grown, and I don’t get it. Yes, I do. It’s all about power. I do get it. It’s all about power and that’s sad because what should be in power is not power or righteousness to do good — that should be the greatest power.

Note: I have done a search and replace and will use KrazyKunt for the rest of this post to refer to Dr. Laura. Why?

First, her degree isn’t in anything to do with clinical counseling, so I don’t like calling her Dr.

Second, it creeps me out to just call her Laura.

Third, I can’t remember how to spell Sshlesshingher.

Fourth, she’s a KrazyKunt.

Media Matters also has the audio of the call, and the audio is worse than the transcript. If you’ve listened to KrazyKunt, you know how she frequently drips sneering contempt on those she takes an instant dislike to. Imagine KrazyKunt at her Dr. Evil best and that’s how the call went.

One of the worst things about KK is how she jumps to conclusions, pounces on innocent people asking for help and then jettisons them bleeding to deal on their own with her little hate-burst. So this isn’t like KK is behaving out of character jumping on this woman for no good reason. This is by no means the worst thing that psycho bitch has done to vulnerable, nice people who call her for help and instead get a scorpion tossed at them. But it is racist, so now we’re finally going to do something about it.

Let’s keep in mind that this woman who called is a KK LISTENER. So that means she has a few problems of her own, but it still means that she’s probably very conservative, responsible and traditional. And I have to applaud her for her dignity and patience. Probably, this woman’s used to dealing with crap like this from being around her feckless husband and his moronic passive-aggressive friends. Still, there’s no excuse for how she was treated. KK can try to apologize all she wants, but she’s been abusing multiple callers like this every night for years. She won’t live long enough to write all the apologies she really should write.

And, in full disclosure, I agree subtantively with several of the abstract points that KrazyKunt made. I’m sick and tired of blacks casually using the word nigger and making it a neutron bomb for everyone else.  But I still laugh my ass off at Boondocks and Chris Rock when I really should get All Outraged and write Letters and tell them to Stop. I’m a wicked hypocritical white man. I find time to post stuff like this, so you’d think I could find time to write to HBO and tell them to Stop.

Regardless, it’s calculating bullshit on black peoples’ part. Any black person who flaunts the word nigger in front of white people should be called on the carpet, period. Just as hard as that guy from Seinfeld was. Black people say nigger in front of white people for the same reasons  your mom stuck a thermometer up your butt when you were a baby. To take your temperature or because she knew you didn’t like it. It’s how blacks know they’re still successfully guilting Non-Racist Whites–we don’t have the guts to call them on obnoxious crap like this.

Nigger would have gone the way of Polack were it not for black people fanning the flames, keeping it alive, nurturing it and using it for social advantage. None of which matters right now, but the last thing anyone needs is some stupid white person defending KK on technicalities. So let’s all acknowledge that KK spewed some points that better people than her have made, like me, but that wasn’t the point.

Because what’s wrong with what KrazyKunt said is the venom and the glee. KK sided with racist yahoos harassing a nice black woman in front of her gelded husband.  KK jumped, like static electricity jumps, from this woman’s legitimate dilemma to a political rant that she’d been suppressing with as much difficulty as a woman trying to suppress the urge to pop a zit on her boyfriend’s back. (How’s that for a great mixed metaphor?)

And KK didn’t  just say nigger. She said nigger nigger nigger.  Over and over. And in her patented, trademarked Cuntemptible Voice.  And she told the woman to go screw herself and stay with her own kind if she can’t take a little mean-spirited shit from her husband’s hillbilly friends. (You know who’s the worst person in all this? That woman’s husband. What a piece of phlegm he is. I hope she divorces him.)

Now, to go out on a high note, for years, I’ve played a Dr. Laura party game that cracks people up and that I now want to share with the world.

It’s simple, fun and creative. Make up sentences like these–

If Dr. Laura were wanting to make up with someone, she’d be cunt-ciliatory.

If Dr. Laura got in an argument with somebody, she’d be cunt-tentious.

If Dr. Laura were to ask you to agree to something, she’d want your cunt-sent.

It’s a lot funnier verbally than in writing. It appalls my wife, but it cracks everyone else up. I’ve got hundreds of them, but I’ll let you have the fun of discovering more on your own.

Here’s a new one:

If Dr. Laura were a black slave, she’d be Cunta Kinte…

Please shoot yourself in the head

The black guy in Connecticut who got fired for stealing beer and killed more than half a dozen co-workers on his way out, he played the race card and played it hard. He called up his mom, he called 911 and made sure everyone got told that all of this was about people not liking him being black.

I’m sure that the day all his co-workers died wasn’t the first time this victimization-addled moron played that card. He justified his thefts with the race card. He excused his failures by slapping the race card down on the table. I’m sure he was playing that card from day one in kindergarten.

People who play the race card aren’t harmless. This pinhead, and Jesse Jackson, and that lying sack of civil rights card-playing John Lewis and his buddies who lied about the Tea Partiers spitting and screaming racist slurs at them…. there’s no difference in how any of them play the race card. They’re all equally pathological liars and self-excusers. No, I’m not saying Jesse and John are going to go postal–I’m saying that they are just as shamelessly and amorally self-excusing as the Connecticut guy.

The Race Card is over. Blacks are Boy Who Cried Wolf, and I use the term “boy” with full cognizance of how You People try to have a hissy fit if anyone white says “boy.” Boy Boy Boy Boy Boy Boy. Get over it. Racism isn’t your problem, you are.

Black people in America who think that excessive pigment is why they aren’t making it are in denial about their personal, individual failures. I’m sick and tired of all y’all. Black people who don’t primarily identify themselves as black seem to be doing fine. Take a hint about what works, you racist idiots who think that the most important thing that explains all your failures is your skin color.

Nice white people are this close to being done with your racist excuses. As the economy worsens, our sympathy shallows even more. Now is not the right time to step up Race Card whining, but, boy, you sure have done exactly that.

Hey, black people, I got your race card right here: I’m sick and tired of your 80% out-of-wedlock  birth rate. I’m really tired of your criminality. We put lots more black men in jail because lots more black men commit real, not just drug, crimes. It’s not racist, it’s the right thing to do. It’s not like cops are turning a blind eye to millions of white kids committing robberies and burglaries and murders to collar only your oppressed asses.

You’re annoyed you can’t go in white neighborhoods without the cops pulling you over?  I’m annoyed I can’t park in black neighborhoods without getting my wheels stolen and my car put up on blocks, if I’m lucky enough not to get robbed on the street.

Here’s an idea, black men who feel aggrieved over being black: Get some Uncle Tom values and respect education and marriage and stop being criminals. We don’t have to tell Asians to shape up like this. Shut the fuck up with your gangsta-rap. I’m glad Biggie Smalls is dead. And every other gangster rapper who’s gotten shot to death–I dance on their graves too.  I’m just sorry any of them are still alive.

Accept the shame you deserve for making so many black women into irrational aggressive behemoths to make up for your lack of manning up. If you have children under 18 by more than one woman, breathe in the fact that you are a huge stupid sperm fountain who’s ruining everything for other black people.

I’m sure this will be considered racist. I expect I’ll get reported to google for this.

Until I do, I’ll keep updating this, because if I don’t get reported, obviously I’m not telling the truth clearly enough.

Nothing will appease black people who have built their life-strategies on bitching about how they get screwed over for being black.  Just like nothing will appease people who whine about being abused by their parents as their life-excuse.

The only thing that will help these professional victims is to tell them to put on their big girl panties quit feeling specially picked on by the universe. All of a sudden, they might realize that their damage is not who they have to be.

Black people, I’m your best friend.

UPDATE: The EEOC is thinking about making new rules to restrict employers from considering criminal history and credit reports in employment decisions. Several decades ago, they restricted employers from using IQ or any other intelligence test as a screen for employment because minorities did a lot worse on such tests than whites. I’m not arguing here that the IQ tests aren’t racially biased. I’m pointing out that the same rationale for outlawing those tests is now being used to restrict employers from considering criminality and financial irresponsibility.

Really, minorities? You think this is going to work out?

I work for a corporation that is highly invested in IQ. They can’t give IQ tests in general, so they’ve  invented interview puzzles. Basically what you knew as word problems in grade school.

Here’s the point: if you think that employers are going to stop checking for criminal history or financial irresponsibility because the Feds say they must, you’re stupid. They’ll do it covertly and will reject people they otherwise would accept, like they do now for intelligence. If you have a tattoo on your upper arm, you won’t get hired. Especially if it’s a bracelet of any kind that goes around your arm. They’ll ask women if they think that people should put their money in a savings account or a mutual fund. We’ll substitute covert blunt instruments to rule out people who might be a problem, regardless of whether they might be brilliant, instead of using obvious disqualifiers.

Here’s my last incendiary trying to get reported to google statement for today:

Hey, black people: Thank God and bless your ancestors for being kidnaped and abused in America–their slavery and misery made you one of the luckiest of the lucky.

Mark Williams, exit stage right

Mark Williams is the douchebag talk show host who used to be the ringleader of the Tea Party Express, one of several Tea Party organizations.  His group has nearly half a million members.

AFTER Ben Jealous of the NAACP called out the Tea Party movement on sheltering, tolerating, embracing racists, Mark Williams posted this on his blog. AFTER, not BEFORE. This wasn’t an example available beforehand to Ben Jealous of Tea Party racism. Oh, no, Mark Williams opened his mouth,  spewed out a flaming bag of dogcrap, rang the bell and ran as a RESPONSE to the NAACP:

Dear Mr. Lincoln

We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!

In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the ‘tea party movement’.

The tea party position to “end the bailouts” for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn’t that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.

And the ridiculous idea of “reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government.” What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!

The racist tea parties also demand that the government “stop the out of control spending.” Again, they directly target coloreds. That means we Coloreds would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.

Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.” That is outrageous! How will we coloreds ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?

I hate Mark Williams more than I hate any American still alive. More than I hate zombies Pelosi and Reid. More than I hate the totalitarian weasel in San Francisco who just banned pets and pop. More than I hate Michael Bloomberg. Are you getting it? I hate Mark Williams a lot.

Were I enamored of conspiracy theories, I’d be hoping to find video of Mark Williams taking a payoff from someone in the NAACP. But I know guys like Williams and they’re real and Ben Jealous was exactly right so let’s admit it right now:

There are a lot of racists in the Tea Party movement. Racism isn’t the core of the movement, but as a new movement, the Tea Party is more about warm bodies than anything else. The Tea Party welcomes anyone who shows up to an event because it gives them a better chance to get on the news.  They’re not welcoming racists–they’re welcoming anyone who shows up and they aren’t checking ID.

There has been almost no overt racism at Tea Party protests. Seriously, a few signs edge up to the line, fewer cross it, and the worst are probably plants.

Though I hate Mark Williams, I’m glad his neurotic racist compulsions made him lash out at blacks. It gives the Tea Party the mandate to put the racists in their ranks on notice. We need to put out Racism Is Not Welcome signs. Thank you, Ben Jealous.

Because, let’s tell the truth, there are some hardcore racists going to Tea Party protests and they need to be ejected.  They’re not waving racist signs. They’re under cover. There’s  a lot of  “don’t ask, don’t tell” going on in the Tea Party when it comes to racism.

How do you detect these racists? Voluntary hyperthyroidism is the first sign. They’re a little bit bug-eyed and intense. They think the income tax is unconstitutional even though it’s in the Constitution. They think black people in America are a menace.  They don’t much like Jews either. And they creep you out, because you can tell they’re holding back something weird.

In a lot of people, racism is skin deep. You really can turn them around just by giving them a DVD of  “The Blind Side.” Or telling them they’re relics who aren’t welcome anymore at a Tea Party protest if they’re going to be that stupid.

Then you have vile morons like Mark Williams and every single person who still defends him.  Here’s what Williams said when forced to resign from the Tea Party Express:

“We are in a war for the future of this country and the Left and their allies in the news media have decided to use my personal comments and views as a weapon to injure the Tea Party movement and conservative activists. I will simply not allow them to do this.”

Mark Williams is a horrible deep proud racist. 400,000 people in his organization didn’t detect this or didn’t care. I find it hard to believe that Williams’ blog post was the first indication to anyone following him that he was a virulent deep racist. Mark just vomited on the Tea Party movement as a whole, though his followers are mostly 400,000 morons, and I’m sure he at least wink wink nudged nudged in his newsletters and most of his followers ignored the racism because they liked everything else, and a few took comfort in their Nazi hearts.  So to hell with you all 400,000 of you. Like  Germans who ignored the smokestacks. No, I don’t have any of Mark’s newsletters. It’s possible he was completely in the closet until this week and none of you 400,000 Tea Party Express people knew anything about the racism of your Leader. Yeah, right. You knew. I hate you, all 400,000 of you. But you can make it up.

All you TP Express people–Repudiate Williams in no uncertain terms. Declare yourselves not to be racists. Stand up and accept responsibility for embracing this charismatic racist turd.

Let’s get clear in the Tea Party and admit that Ben Jealous was right and we should heed his call to arms. No racist gets a pass. We purge. We probe. We go Leninist on racists.

If you’re a racist, get out of the Tea Party now. If you don’t skulk off voluntarily, we will eject you.  What is the percentage of racists in the Tea Party movement? I’m going to upper bound it at 10% and I think it’s closer to 1%. The Tea Party has gotten nothing worth getting from letting this minority of racist morons stand next to us without looking too closely at them.

The Tea Party should stand up and say Ben Jealous was right and that we’ll turn over Mark Williams and they can do whatever they want to him on Pay Per View. I hope it’s Thunderdome.

In Defense of Shirley Sherrod

Here’s what happens when you don’t post things to your blog timely. Now I have to completely change this post up because the story has completely changed. It doesn’t invalidate anything I had to say before, but now I have to say a lot more.

For context, for future generations who will read this like it’s the Hadith, Shirley Sherrod is a Dept of Agriculture bureaucrat who gave a speech at the NAACP convention this year. (Future generations–if you don’t know what the Dept of Agriculture and the NAACP are, go look it up on Wikipedia. If you are reading this you sure as hell have Wikipedia, right?)

In her speech, Shirley allowed as to how she might have discriminated a little bit against whitey in her youth and she was somewhat sorry about that because she realized that the difference between rich and poor is even more important than the difference between black and white if you’re going to make a career about pretending to help those who won’t be helped.

(Of course, Shirley is right about the poor thing–all welfare bums have more in common with each other than they do with productive people. And there are almost zero multi-decade poor people in America who aren’t slimeballs, sleazebags, deadbeats and welfare bums. Shirley wuvs these asshowes wike Bwistow wuvs Wevi, and with about as much wationality. Yeah, I’m still pissed off at Sarah Palin.)

(So when am I going to get around to defending Shirley? Wait for it…. you’re going to be waiting a little while, but I will do it.)

Shirley Sherrod was a standard issue black racist worthless federal bureaucrat, by all evidence. Until last week, when she did something redemptive: she admitted and regretted her racism. She courageously started that conversation that Dick Holder keeps saying we need to have about racism.

She wasn’t just a racist 24 years ago. She’s still a racist now. Her full NAACP speech is full of banal racism. Everyone’s bitching about how it was wrong to quote just a little bit of it.  It’s not doing her a favor to quote the whole thing. And what she’s had to say since the speech hasn’t covered her IQ in glory.

She’s  always made a really good living playing the oppressed card in the quasi-governmental community organizing sector where Barack Obama also learned to tap dance to entertain the guilty white liberal man.

Sherrod wasn’t a Fed until 2009. Previously, she sued the feds for some kind of racist something, and got mid-6-figures out of it.  I don’t know the details and I don’t care. I just hate people who sue like this. This is why I hated John Edwards from day 1.

Anyhow, she got hired into the Dept of Agriculture bureacracy in 2009, coincidental I’m sure with St. Barack’s ascension. Other racists in the Obama administration cannot be proved to have anything to do with Shirley the pilot fish serendipitously attaching herself to the biggest safest whale of all.

Now, we must stop and talk about what the definition of racism is. A too-large percentage of black people and white liberal people say that unless you’re a member of a privileged class you can’t be a racist.   If you’re a member of an oppressed class, you can hate based on race all you want and that doesn’t count as racism. Go listen to all of Sherrod’s speech and decide whether she still buys that racist crap about black people can’t be racist.

My definition of racism is much simpler: despising people because of their race. By my definition, as a racial group, black people are the most racist people in America. Except perhaps for the Japanese, who keep it under their hats instead of using it for begging and reparation rights.

Ok, now, the main event…

 In defense of Shirley Sherrod:

Watch her whole tape or don’t argue with me.

Shirley stood up in front of a (friendly) crowd and honestly, sincerely, said politically incorrect things to try to move them in her direction. Sure, in some of her speech she pandered to the crowd. Like people on the right don’t? Like Sarah Palin isn’t more pander than human?  (Seriously, I’m so sick of Sarah that I’m thinking I must have an unconscious crush on her.)

Sherrod led with rehearsed shtick slamming Republicans to get crowd armor down for what she really wanted to say.

She wanted to admit mistakes, tell personal stories, get people to move more to less racism.

And for that she was crucified.

She spoke very seriously, without malice, about her own racism, about her regrets. There’s no question she was trying to do good and meant NO HARM. I’d have cheered her were I there.

I am done with everyone who refuses to let those who mean no harm talk about race. 

Al Campanis, Jimmy the Greek, Shirley Sherrod…

If you don’t get what they have in common, you’re a racist race monger.

Make one little misstep and deviate from what the PC mob happens to believe at this moment, and they will destroy you. As they are now trying to destroy Sherrod.

Hey, Andrew Breitbart, you’re one of my heroes. But using Sherrod as, ahem, a whipping boy to revenge yourself on the NAACP for calling the Tea Party racists–way too much. I’m fine with ruining some PC d-bagger for making a misstep if they’re doing it maliciously. We should try to ruin Harry Reid for his racist comments. But Sherrod was actually trying to do the right thing. 

Andrew, you’re now a member of the lynch mob going after anyone who speaks honestly and without malice about race. I don’t give a damn whether you only got a clip of the video and couldn’t wait to post it till you had the whole context. That’s what a lynching is–stringing someone up before you have all the facts. You lynched this woman, and I mean that with every bit of racial subtext and context that can be attached to the word “lynching.” I’m really interested to see what you will say about this over time. I’d love to talk to you about it, and think I could convince you that this time political opportunism overcame your basic decency. But if I couldn’t I kind of think you’d be dead to me. We have to treat the other side decently when they behave decently.

The NAACP has had a great week and honest people have to admit that Mark Williams’ unforced error (see my previous post) proves them right about racism in the Tea Party: Mark Williams had 400,000 members of his Tea Party Express.  Williams is a pernicious, active racist. I hope almost all of Williams’ followers are as shocked as I am by his revealed racism. But I doubt it. I doubt he kept his racism on the down low until just now. I never listened to nor had heard of him till just recently. Until his followers repudiate him publicly, screw them. Perhaps Williams hadn’t outed himself as a vicious racist before Ben Jealous threw down the gauntlet. And then the racism boiling over in his sad little soul just boiled over like a boiling over thing….I’ve been watching too much Greg Gutfeld on Red Eye.

The Left was right. There’s significant racism in the Tea Party. True until otherwise proven, you hundreds of thousands of Mark Williams followers. What say you? Seriously, you Tea Party Express people need to do something publicly.

UPDATES:

Mark Williams has resigned from the Tea Party Express, gracelessly, dishonestly and exactly like the little bitch he is.

Hey, Eric Holder, you say Americans are cowards when it comes to talking about race, but I haven’t heard you yet defend this gutsy woman Shirley Sherrod.

Hey, Barack, you fired this woman like she was radioactive based on YouTube. Everyone says you jumped too soon. Well, yeah, governing by YouTube is pretty pathetic.

But  nobody I’ve seen yet has said this to you: You Barack Obama, jumped too soon because you bought the original story hook line and sinker because you felt, deep in your heart, that it was true. That Sherrod was a nasty black racist who had broken cover. You know damn well that black racism is a virulant undergrowth in mainstream black organizations.  “Killing cracker babies” is way more a mainstream sentiment among blacks than you dare admit. You found Sherrod guilty because that’s what you expected to find.

Barack, this story felt true to you. That’s why you jumped to conclusions.

Oh, and for everyone denying that the pressure to fire Sherrod wasn’t from the White House…

Barack Obama is a liar.

Robert Gibbs is a liar-in-chief’s little bitch.

I hate most everybody this week except Shirley Sherrod. Sure, she’s a racist. Sure, she’s done lots of bad things and made a career from race-mongering. But she’s the only person this week I’ve seen actually speak truth to power. The only one showing real moral growth as she’s matured. And then she outed the liars in the White House who tried to keelhaul her. You go, Shirley!

UPDATE MARCH 2019: This wasn’t the only time that feckless racist Barack Obama jumped the gun on racial issues. Remember the Beer Summit? And Trayvon Martin?  The Left whines that Donald Trump shoots off his mouth without having the facts, how very un-Presidential! Obama did it every time there was any race-tainted issue.

 

What I want from the NAACP

Nothing more.

Right now, I’m kind of a fan of the NAACP and I think they did restore their relevance. Conservatives slinging contempt on them should think hard about what has actually happened.

Let me thank Ben Jealous for demanding that ugly elements of the Tea Party be expelled. I was critical of Ben Jealous yesterday, but he got action, good action.

The Tea Party people have responded and expelled some of their morlocks, including a bigwig or two, some of them racist assholes, some of them just assholes.

Let me acknowledge also that Ben Jealous did denounce the New Black Panthers when the Tea Partiers pointed out his own kettle black problem.  Thanks, Ben. That took big balls.

It seems to me today that Ben Jealous is the kind of passionate, incendiary guy that could sit down with the passionate incendiary Tea Party people and both sides have enough honesty to recognize a similar fire for justice and decency that could make them find common ground.

Kumbaya and beer.

So I could end this post congratulating Ben Jealous for raising important issues, ceding ground, getting results and being a good guy.

And the Tea Party for responding, admitting and giving up their morlocks.

If this weren’t a rant blog, that’s where I’d stop, but I really want to rant.

Ok, I’m going to stop. But I really want to rant. I think my head’s going to explode.

UPDATE: Before it disappears down the memory hole….

Mark Williams, a talk radio host,  just got his stupid racist ass booted out of the Tea Party movement and deservedly so. Mark is kind of a bigwig in the Tea Party movement (well, he was until today), so he absolutely makes Ben Jealous’s point about Tea Party racists. Mark hadn’t outed himself as a racist before the NAACP demanded the Tea Party out their racists. No, he had to respond to Ben Jealous by compulsively outing his own self as a racist.

Mark Williams is a little bitch and so has taken down what he said off his web site, but I have a copy and it will be posted here as long as anything I post is here.

Here’s what Williams said, writing a satiracial letter to Abe Lincoln:

Dear Mr. Lincoln

We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!

In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the ‘tea party movement’.

The tea party position to “end the bailouts” for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn’t that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.

And the ridiculous idea of “reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government.” What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!

The racist tea parties also demand that the government “stop the out of control spending.” Again, they directly target coloreds. That means we Coloreds would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.

Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.” That is outrageous! How will we coloreds ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?

Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.

Sincerely

Precious Ben Jealous, Tom’s Nephew
NAACP Head Colored Person

Let’s be clear: Mark Williams is a filthy dangerous racist. Anyone in the Tea Party movement who defends him, however tepidly, after the stunt you just read above, is a racist.

The NAACP wins this round. Mark Williams is a racist and a Tea Party bigwig. Ben Jealous was right and he goaded one of the worst kind of racists to show his colors in the Tea Party.

Good on the Tea Party for ejecting Mark Williams. It will remain to be seen whether he’ll be rehabilitated, defended or excused. If he is, I’m sending money to the NAACP. Seriously, anyone who is a Mark Williams fan (I’d never heard of this turd before today), you are a racist turd too. I don’t care if you burn in hell, but shut up.  We don’t like you, we don’t want you, we’re not like you. And now we’re on to you. Show up at another event and see what happens if you let me see anything of what you really are.

I live in Seattle. I’ve never seen a racist thing at a Tea Party event. Well, that’s probably because I live in Seattle. I promise, if I ever do see such a thing, or anything close, I will go Hulk on it. Any closet racists who let any of their ugly show, I promise to slam them. But that doesn’t mean much. Like anyone in Seattle is going to do anything racist.

The NAACP was right. Admit it Tea Party people, and let’s behave better. We’ve let these racists tag along as long as they didn’t hold signs that were overtly racist. Don’t ask, don’t tell. Every Mark Williams sympathizer needs to be expelled. Hard. Now. I hate them. We need to be HOSTILE to racism.

Ben Jealous, thank you. The rest of the Tea Party movement, thank Ben too. Seriously, Goddammit, write Ben and thank him for calling you on your shit.

The End of The Race Card

Last week, the head of the NAACP, Ben Jealous (great name Ben!), went all black-rhetorical and fulminatorial against the racist Tea Partiers. He demanded that the Tea Party movement denounce the racists in their ranks.

This isn’t quite as stupid as demanding that the Mad Hatter be disinvited from future Tea Party functions, but it’s close. So far, not one of the examples Jealous cited of racist signs or acts has been confirmed.

Idiotically, Jealous continued to repeat Georgia Congressman John Lewis’s discredited claims that multiple Tea Partiers shouted “Nigger!” at him and spit on him on the Capitol steps. In case you hadn’t heard about this, Lewis and several other black politicians and hangers on made this claim a few months ago. Unfortunately, in the iPhone age, there was plenty of professional and amateur video with sound and nary a nigger-saying can be heard on any of it. Andrew Breitbart offered $100,000 to anyone who could substantiate Lewis’s lie. Breitbart still has his $100K.

That weasel politician Lewis was lying. Not only was he lying but the other black guys with him who corroborated his story are liars too. In the lying tradition of Al Sharpton and the racist tradition of Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan.

The mainstream media paints Lewis as a pillar of integrity. But as far as I can tell, according to the mostly-worshipful Wikipedia article on him, he’s made his career in racial politics, good for him, but it doesn’t tell me why I should trust him more than Reverend Al. Oh, and evidently Lewis is the Congressional king of accepting private junkets. Till proven otherwise, as far as I can tell, he’s just another weasel politician playing to his strengths. Oh, and a bald-faced liar and racial bomb-thrower too.

Jealous also accused Tea Partiers of yelling Fag at Barney Frank. This charge is more credible, but what does it have to do with racism? I swear if I ever met Frank, I’d have a hard time not going Elmer Fudd and saying, “You wascawwy faggot!” Still, decowum must be obsewved.

Given the fact that blacks are a lot more homophobic than the average American, it’s a little bit ironic, don’t you think, that Jealous would call out Tea Partiers for gay-bashing? What’s he going to accuse the Tea Party of next, being mean to Korean grocers?

Ok, enough fun and games, let’s get serious:

This post is about the end of The Race Card. From now on, I’m going to react like black people react to being called the N-Word when anyone even implicitly accuses me of racism. I’m going to get loud, angry and outraged.

After all, being accused of racism is a lot more damaging these days than being called the N-Word. If you flinch, you’re done. Trent Lott’s career was destroyed because he said something nice about a racist guy at a dinner in that guy’s honor. Lott had no intention of saying anything racist–he was trying to be polite. Anyone see Bill Clinton take a political hit for last week explicitly excusing Robert Byrd for being a KKK bigwig? Bill Clinton is a racist-sympathizer. No honest person can say otherwise after that performance. (and if you do, you’re as big a liar as John Lewis)

Harmless half-senile old white guys Al Campanis and Jimmy the Greek were destroyed for saying racially incorrect things about sports and blacks. They meant no malice.

On the other side, Harry “Negro Dialect” Reid was given a pass because he’s on the Left. Reid obviously thinks that “Negro Dialect” is inferior and electoral poison. That was obviously implicit in what he said.

Being accused of racism today is worse than being accused of being a Communist in 1952. Unless you’re a politically correct Democrat Party darling. Then all is forgiven. (It goes to show how p-whipped American liberals are that that Creepy Uncle Bill Clinton still gives them a tingle up their leg and they all rush to sit on his lap and get fondled by him every time he shows up for dinner.)

Crying racism is the new McCarthyism. Leftist race-baiters destroy careers, excuse their apparatchiks, slander their opponents and need to be bitch-slapped hard. I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way. Obama is counting on the race card to rescue his party this November. Of course, when it doesn’t work, he’ll whine that racism robbed his motley crew of whiners and technocratic totalitarians of their right to run the world. God help any of them who do it in front of me.

Arizona: One Hell of a State

I lived in Phoenix for 5 years. Five dreary, hot, miserable, boring years in a dry sea of dust storms, sun tea, stupidity and snowbirds. Not to mention John McCain, killer of many planes, Jeanette Napolitano, Arizona’s answer to Shrek, and the Keating 5. As a cultural Mecca, Arizona is what the actual Mecca is to culture.

Oh, let’s not forget about Evan Mecham, the racist Mormon governor who led Arizona in rescinding Martin Luther King Day in the mid-80’s.

Racism in Arizona, especially against brown people, is endemic. A lot of this is because a lot of Arizono’s are Mormons and all believing Mormons are ideological racists, and most of them are traditional cradle-indoctrinated racists.

So good luck to everyone stuck to Arizona convincing everyone else that there won’t be any racial profiling enforcing this new law.

Conservatives, almost universally, have come out in favor of this law. A few (Florida’s Rubio, for example) have expressed reservations while cheering the law as a goad to Obama’s feckless administration. Sorry, I can’t go even that far.

This law sucks and every conservative applauding it, even those doing it with faint damning, should be ashamed. Why?

• It’s a big step toward a national ID card. I know the law says nothing in it should be construed in an RFID’y way. I’ve read the stupid law, unlike most. Methinks it doth protest too much. Without a strong ID card, how are you going to avoid racial profiling if the law is to mean anything at all? With the heat-addled dumbasses in Arizona leading the way and conservatives cheering them on, who’s left to say that a high-tech national ID card is a BAD IDEA? Nice job, conservatives, signing on to The Number of the Beast because you don’t like spics. This will eventually go federal.
• Conservatives point out that it’s always a lie when Obama pooh poohs critics of his asinine laws by pointing to how his laws specifically say that won’t happen. Look what this law says won’t happen. Look to what criticism they tried to preempt because it’s so obvious that’s going to happen. I may not much like Sarah Palin, but she was spot on with that “death panel” thing. Now, on this bill, conservatives show the same wide-eyed disingenuousness that liberals showed about nationalizing health care. No, cops won’t profile. No, cops won’t make pretext traffic stops. No, reasonable suspicion, an unfalsifiable  standard that the supreme court has defined as needing to be only above an “inarticulable hunch,” won’t be used ex post facto. Hell, no, none of that will happen.
• Don’t tell me about how being Hispanic isn’t a primary offense. Yet. How the cops have to bust you for something else. As mentioned in the previous point, cops will bust you for anything when they want to bust you for something.  Don’t tell me how Arizona has a kidnap rate like that of 3rd world countries (nearly all the nappers and nappees are people that will get deported under this law–it’s not near as lawless in Arizona these days as people are saying). Don’t whine about the drug cartels leaving their footprints all over Nogales and Tucson and Phoenix on their way to Salt Lake City. That’s been going on for decades, and cheap weed was about the only good thing I remember about Arizona. Anyhow, it ain’t that bad in Arizona. Detroit, LA, Chicago have been dealing with this kind of crime rate for decades. This is Arizona the attention-whore and drama queen, as I remember her in all her dusty, mascara-streaked glory. Arizona doesn’t mind being used, as long as she’s told she’s pretty.

If you’re on the side of Arizona, you’re on the side of government getting more power to screw with more people. If you were against Obamacare because it intruded on personal freedom and you’re in favor of Arizona’s new “Show me your papers!” law, then to everyone to the left of you,  you sound like a racist who hates people with cancer. And I’m not sure they’re not right.

We need to reduce government power to intrude in our lives and screw with us. Got it?  Across the board, left or right,  or we will all drown together, claws digging into each others’ necks. We have to make all these government brute squads step back off of us, not beg them to screw with everyone else who annoys us.

Either you believe that most problems we have with each other can be solved without government getting into it or you believe that most problems can’t be solved unless government uses its mommy voice.

Pick. It doesn’t matter whether you’re conservative or liberal, whether you think porn should be illegal or excess profits should be taxed, or illegals should be afraid to go out on the street, at the end of the day either you think that government should have a sharply limited role in how people choose to  play with each other or you think that government should make everyone play nice and give everyone a cookie or a time out.

(I know that the only reason Democrats are on the other side of this issue is that Latino is the new Negro. Democrats are slavering to own another identity politics group. Democrats believe that all non-white people are their cattle once you brand them so it doesn’t matter how you treat them. Like how Republicans herd pro-lifers. That’s not today’s subject.)

I guess Florida is still the most vile state in the Union, but good for you Arizona for trying harder.

I’ll finish up quoting from the actual law:

20 FOR ANY LAWFUL CONTACT MADE BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL OR A LAW
21 ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OF THIS STATE OR A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL OR A LAW
22 ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OF A COUNTY, CITY, TOWN OR OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF
23 THIS STATE WHERE REASONABLE SUSPICION EXISTS THAT THE PERSON IS AN ALIEN WHO
24 IS UNLAWFULLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES, A REASONABLE ATTEMPT SHALL BE
25 MADE, WHEN PRACTICABLE, TO DETERMINE THE IMMIGRATION STATUS OF THE PERSON,
26 EXCEPT IF THE DETERMINATION MAY HINDER OR OBSTRUCT AN INVESTIGATION. ANY
27 PERSON WHO IS ARRESTED SHALL HAVE THE PERSON’S IMMIGRATION STATUS DETERMINED
28 BEFORE THE PERSON IS RELEASED.

I could walk around Arizona for years under this law and never be stopped. On an everyday level, I don’t have a dog in this fight. I look like I snuck in from Scandinavia.  But what they’re doing in AZ is likely now to become federal because dumbass conservatives are in favor now of national IDs.

If this insanity becomes federal law, then what else do you think they’ll use those ID cards for? Refer back to social security number creep.

UPDATE: they’re trying to ban toys in McDonald’s Happy Meals in California. So kids won’t want the happy meal so much. If this news didn’t immediately make you recoil in horror, you’re part of the problem I’m talking about here.
