Glenn Greenwald is a God

This exchange between Salon.com's Glenn Greenwald and some CNN hacks is illusory of how lame Main Stream Media has become. They don't even know that they're supposed to give at least a plausible image of journalistic competence, and Greenwald calls them on it.

What'up my NI?????



In 2010, I'm still stunned when I hear white people say, in effect, "Well, they say it to each other, why can't I say it?"

Now, we know Dr. Laura is an old battle-ax, so let's move on from her bullshittery....m'kay.

The gay community figured out how to take a word once used to hurt you, "Queer", flip it, and make it an empowering word "within" their community. "Nigga" is just such an amelioration of "nigger.

People who want to pretend that there is no difference in the two words, "nigga" and "nigger",  and say that neither should ever be used are people who really don't know what they talking about...seriously - they don't friggin' understand. They've got it twisted.


Plus, everything hinges on intent, no matter who is speaking.

Actually, I wold rather have 'a bitch's" thoughts on this, Angry Black Bitch's thoughts, that is. And she, in her own inimitable style, reminds us all to CHECK ourselves and our preconceptions.

Quoteth A Bitch:

"There’s been an outbreak of people making absolute statements about black people. You name it and there’s some asshole making a statement about how all black people do it or believe it or want it or say it.

I’ve often wondered if these believers in a black monolith think black folk get a complimentary weekly newsletter telling us how to be black when we sign up for our Race Card.

Shit.

Dear people who make absolute statements about black people,

Some of us don’t go to church…some of us do.

Some of us can’t dance…some of us think we can dance…and some of us can dance.

Black comes in every gender…and when you talk about how black people feel about same-sex marriage you should know that some black people are also lgbt people.

There are black people in other countries…and black people speak lots of languages.

We did not elect Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson as our official spokesperson. But some black people dig their shit…some of us don’t.

Some black people play hockey…some of us are HUGE hockey fans (go Blues!!).

Some black people use hash tags while getting their tweet on…lots of black people could give a shit about hash tags on Twitter.

Some black people find the name of my blog offensive...some don't.

And, while some black people use the n-word, lots of us don’t.

Are you getting the theme?

Yeah, well...fuck it.

This black person is tired of your bullshit."

The constitution won today. America haters will lose the battle they want to fight over the 14th Amendment, too.

A Little Number I Call....

....Just Another Loser on FaceBook


Sitting there at home
On one lonely Sunday morning
I didn't have a friend
To tell my troubles to.

I turned on my computer
And in a moment I had found.
A whole new world created just for me and just for you...

(Chorus)
Now I'm just another loser on FaceBook
I finally found a place that I can call my very own.
I'm just another loser on FaceBook.
I finally found a place that I call home.


Well Mary's got herself a real bad toothache.
And Suzy's got a run in her brand new pantyhose.
Jimmy went to get himself a milkshake.
What in the hell am I doin' here?
Well goodness only knows.

(Repeat Chorus)

I "like" Project Runway and Hardball.
I "like" Bobby Knight and Texas Hold'em Poker, too.
I "like" Photography and Al Franken.
I "unliked" your mother
And I never did like you.

(Repeat Chorus)

Just a loser
And a user...
Maybe now I'll be a YouTuber,

I finally found a place that I call home.


- Jimmy Wilder

This is serious shit, people!
