Oprah a racist? Clearly so.During a stop on her motivational speaking tour in Denver, Oprah had some strong advice to her white fans in attendance on the subject of African-American hairstyling. She instructed,
“Don't go into it, because there ain't no telling. It's a strong cultural thing.
We're all alike in our veins, except for our hair..."
Let’s reverse this. Make like this is a new article you just read without prior knowledge of the Oprah situation.
“During Sean Hannity’s most recent book tour, Mr. Hannity delivered some
friendly advice to the African-Americans in attendance regarded his famously
coifed pompadour. He stated, ‘You blacks out there should not ask me or
any other white folks how we do our hair. It’s a cultural thing, and you
would never understand.’”
Please insert “Rev.”Al Sharpton, “Rev.” Jesse Jackson, Farrakhan and all the other black leaders. They would be calling for his head. Matt and Katie would lead off every segment with an update and an interview with his third grade teacher, ex-stagehand and makeup artist they could find who would tow their line for them.
Fuck all of you. I don’t really think that Oprah is a racist, I just have a tough time believing that is the situation were reversed, that it would spark anything less than a national outcry from the
Hippie Leagues. We are so fucking jumpy about this shit, we are afraid to say what’s on our minds for fear of being labeled a racist unfairly. I’m sick of it.
Vitamin C May Help Protect Babies of Smoking Moms
Ju-u-u-u-u-u-ust what we need.
That’s the headline. Apparently, some new research indicates that expectant mothers who take high doses of vitamin C can reduce some of the harmful effects that smoking has on the fetus.
OK. This is like the government and aliens. Some information is simply best left on the shelf, away from the public. Now, every white trash, NASCAR-laden hooch is going to justify burning a pack of Lucky’s by having a glass of Florida’s finest. Here’s an idea, DON’T FUCKING SMOKE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! I don’t get all prissy about women and how they should wear makeup, dress like the homecoming queen or anything. However, I do think it is wholly unattractive for a female to smoke. It stinks like ass, and its no fun to kiss ashtrays.
God damn. Bitches make me mad.
In other news,
a bill that would likely toughen domestic violence penalties in South Carolina was treading water, likely to sink. That was until Republican Senator John Graham Altman pondered aloud why he could not understand how women who are being abused would return, or stay with the abuser. This set off a huge rhubarb involving women’s groups, and shot immediate life back into the bill… Temporarily. The following was taken from an article excerpt on the situation.
"I do not understand why women continue to go back around men who abuse them," Altman told Columbia television station WIS. "I've asked women that and they all
tell me the same answer, 'John Graham, you don't understand.' And I say you're
right, I don't understand."
So what’s the controversy? He simply agreed with them. He (and I) clearly do not understand the mindset. Are we bad people? I suppose. What’s worse, Democrats are now stepping away from the bill because it looks like some high-ranking GOPs are touting the legislation and they don’t want to be associated with it now. In fact, Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter (D) who authored the bill, withdrew from its support. Let me make sure you understand… THE FUCKING AUTHOR backed away because she thinks that,
“I am not going to be a part of a Republican whitewash. I am not going to be part of an effort to clean up the Republican caucus problem…”Classy.
So you can take from this, we can only protect battered women if it is done in a partisan fashion by Democrats.
In related news, Democrats keep the momentum rolling in New Jersey with
a bill that would officially declare the tomato the state vegetable. You say, “So? Every state has some sort of vegetable with that type of designation.” True. However, most states also took the time to make sure that the state vegetable was a FUCKING VEGETABLE AND NOT A FRUIT!!!
Christ… I can’t make this up.
One botanically-challenged legislator had the following to say on the tomato-as-a-vegetable’s behalf,
"We respect their opinions, but sweet corn has not had the impact on New Jersey
that the tomato has," said Ira Shaffer, a passionate proponent of the proposed
legislation and chairman of the New Jersey Tomato Festival Inc. It will hold its
second annual event Aug. 21 in Camden--complete with salsa bands and a
tomato-throwing "war" in the manner of Spain's annual La Tomatina tomato brawl
in Bunol.
Hmmm…
And lastly, so you don’t think I am totally against Democrats exclusively,
Kansas conservatives are pushing for Intelligent Design inclusion in science textbooks. This is clearly retarded. I know that it’s going to make some of you angry, but we came from MONKEYS. OK, maybe not specifically monkeys, but a common ancestor.
This is really a hot button for me. If there were any sort of logically founded or empirical evidence that supported ID, then I would have no problem. Furthermore, if churches are so confident in their theories, then why would they fear any sort of challenge to them? I’ll tell you why, because they are evangelical twits. It’s just that simple.
They claim that, “Oh, how can you purport this simple theory as fact to our youth?” Well, to that I’ll retort with the notion of gravity is also a theory. Lemme hold an anvil over your head and test that “theory” out. What’s sad is that there are many Christians that do no have a major issue with evolution, and are perfectly content with a theistic evolutionary stance. Kudos to them, incidentally.
A good film people should check out that gives a charming portrayal of the infamous
Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, is
Inherit the Wind. It also just goes to show us how much progress has to be still made to get religion out of our schools and in the churches. WHERE IT BELONGS!!! Take your “See You At The Pole” business outside, and out of my biology class. I’m trying to learn, thank you.
