Government - Camela Harris

     Camela Harris can see the future unburdened by what has been of by the weight of facts.

Ms. Unburdened really leaned into a world that could be "Unburdened by the past" meme.

    Being unburdened by the past, to me, implies a willingness to ignore the lessons learned from the past and a willingness to forge ahead "unburdened" by those lessons and a willingness to make those same expensive mistakes that taught those lessons before over and over and over again.

    That is the mind of a 'teenager'. No lessons learned, yet, to prevent future mistakes that are all but guaranteed to be made in the future. A World leader can NOT have that mind set. A World leader has at their disposal a Wealth of historic and real-time knowledge that must be consulted and not ignored as would be inferred by her continuously banging on over and over and over again about being "unburdened".

    Another thing that Camela has a nasty habit of doing is being UN-presidential. That cackling laugh of hers and willingness to pander to the baser social groups by enlisting music groups to front for her campaign rallies. It seems to me that the people attending her campaign rallies are there more for the entertainment that the message. Which is still "Unburdened" and now more than ever after the election. I doubt that she could dredge up a speaking engagement after... well after... I don't mean to propose that people that listen to these artists are somehow of the baser social class. I mean to infer that the artists themselves are.

    Gracie Abrams, Maggie Rogers, Remi Wolf, The National, Mumford & Sons, GloRilla, MC Lyte, and Flo Milli, Jon Bon Jovi, Khalid, Brittney Spencer, War and Treaty, Andra, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Cardi B and Keegan-Michael Key, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Jon, Bon Iver, Jason Isbell, Maren Morris, Mickey Guyton, Patti LaBelle, John Legend, Sheila E., Lance Bass, Stevie wonder, The Chicks, Common, Bruce Springsteen, Lizzo, Jennifer Lopez, Mana, Beyonce, Los Tigres del Norte, Quavo, Cher, James Taylor, Maggie Rogers, Michael Stipe, Two Chainz, F.L.Y., Keyshia Cole, Tamar Braxton, La Original Banda El Limón, Sugar Land, Eric Benét, D-Nice, The Roots, Jasmine Sullivan, Adam Blackstone, Fantasia, Sofi Tukker, Fat Joe, Dionne Warwick, Taylor Swift may not have performed for her but did endorse her.

    And the list of Hollywoke celebrities who endorsed Harris is Staggering. I am giving my CTRL C and CTRL V keys a break. I will let you read this list yourself. It is impressive the number of out of touch celebrities there are in the world. Most of these people cant pass the milk test. Of course most of these people are or think that they are lactose intolerant or are animal rights activists that believe the dairy industry is inhumane and prefer kale milk.

                    I just learned a thing. It seems that I am a racist after all. because I will never pronounce nor spell Camela's name any other way than wrong. Seems that is racist. Oh well.

    Back to Cackles this is a gimme, Chameleon because she changes her tune when ever it suits her need, Knee Pad because, well a couple of reasons; because she has bent a knee so many times for the leftists agenda, she has been implicated to have performed sexual favors while in california, Horizontal see previous. The list practically writes its self.  But that Oh so Over the Top laugh its not even a laugh. Witches would even cringe at that laugh. Its worse than the prickles, the blurts and the head laugh.

    I shudder to think what the rest of the world leaders would have been thinking as they sat across a negotiation table from her. I have a pretty wild imagination but even I can't dredge up that imagery, not even even fleetingly. Putin would burst into tears of laughter. The ROFLMAO acronym comes to mind. Putin wouldn't even try to make a pass at her. Not because it would be unpolitic but because she is just so fucking creepy and a liar. A liar about even something as basic as her own heritage. The same with Xi Jinping, only with out the making a pass part. And I don't want to think about the leaders of South Korea or Iran, Iraq, Somalia and even Mexico. I just cant see it not even a little. I think that because of her (I'll call it for the politically sensitive among you) goofiness they wouldn't even sit down to a table with her. They wouldn't' see the need. They would just know that nothing she would say would mean a damn thing, just like they did with Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty only more or is that less so I don't know, but its worse. They would carry right on with their plans for world domination. Only now they would ramp their efforts and push the plans forwards. Just like for the last 472 days since Hamas started up with Israel. Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty hasn't been able to achieve a Damn thing. But days before President Donald J Trump took office everybody involved suddenly figured their shit out and got serious about ending this before President Donald J Trump did it for them. A similar incident occurred back in 1979. When Iranian students took over the American embassy in Tehran Iran. That "Crisis" lasted the balance of the Carter administration. And just like now, days before President Ronald Regan took office the Iranian students figured their shit out before President Ronald Regan did it for them. The world need a STRONG United States and Western World to keep its self on the rails. When you have presidents who are feckless boobs the world not only slips off the rails but the bad actors in the world blow up the rails and the bridges and the entire infrastructure of a polite society. And that is an insult to the feckless boob community by the way. My apologies to the feckless boob community for the slur. Which leads to the degenerative spiral into hell that we have been experiencing under Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty. Squinty has even tried to take credit for the start to the resolution of the Hamas "kerfuffle". The news is replete with stories of the immanent World War III that we were so close to. I breath easier on that point, now that WE have reelected President Donald J Trump. I believe that he will put the world back on the tracks of sanity. Hamas and Hezbollah  along with all the fuckwit students here in America especially the Queers for Palestine fuckwits would have had their way in Israel and "From the River to the Sea" would have become reality. Even though the university fuckwits have not even the slightest idea what River or what Sea or what that means. I would really have liked to have all of those Queers for Palestine fuckwits and all the university fuckwits including the faculty and administration scooped up and air dropped unceremoniously with no passports into Gaza to see what sort of reaction they would have received, especially the Queers. That would have been a truly news worthy event to be sure. Be-headings, raping, spontaneous abortions, ovens lighting up the whole shebang. A real lesson in the realities of the world. Perhaps President Donald J Trump will have enough clout to reconfigure the university DEI programs. Now that would be a legacy to be proud of. That would have a LASTING legacy. Not something that could be turned over with the next change in the wind.

    And as for Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty I have never seen anybody squint so hard ALL of the time as Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty does. Its like he is staring straight into a Klieg light ALL of the time or the Sun for all of those who don't recall what a Klieg light is. Especially when he it reading from a teleprompter. Which is ALL of the time it now seems. Now The New York Times "Unburdened" with the burdensome weight of upholding the LEFTIST Democratic party agenda is starting to open the floodgates on the scaffolding that was supporting the Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty administration. Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty was truly a figurehead for the Office of President. And not even a good one like the Queen Elisabeth of England or even King Charles or the new Jaguar logo. Not even a 'tissue' paper tiger. More like a "Laughing" Hyena only a stupid mentally challenged, mentally deranged, mentally deficient, mentally incompetent or mentally mental hyena. Not even a good house pet of a hyena. Just a stray alley hyena with no pack and no brain, just that Damned insipid Cackle.

    The notion that Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty knows what is going on in HIS OWN NAME THE FUCKING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is Frightening beyond measure. It shocks and amazes me that other world leaders that have met with Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty could have ever been truly convinced of his mental health. The New York post seems to now be shrugging off the weighty blanket of upholding the LEFTIST party line with this news release. Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty has been handing out Pardons like candy on Halloween even preventative pardons what ever those are. Like an Oprah show. You get a pardon, You get a pardon, You get a pardon... everybody and anybody that could rollover on him and implicate him or his family now or in the future or past for three generations got a pardon it seems. Of course Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty doesn't need a pardon because he is incompetent to stand trial. His memory is so goofed that he forgot when he was vice president or when his son Beau died. I don't know, but those seem like two fairly significant point is a persons life.

    President Donald J Trump has a lot of work ahead of him. Not only does he have to over turn the Everest sized Bandini Mountain of shit policies left to him by Sleepy/Pervy/Sniffy/Squinty. He has to overcome years of shitty relationships with world leaders. He also has a bunch of fuckwits at the ACLU  lining up to fight him in the State and local governments.

    Its a Bandini mountain of shit redundancy on purpose to be sure and a short Four years to get it all done but what he doesn't have in time he has in experience, constituency capital, an awesome team specialist cabinet members and much more. So I have faith that things are turning and that he is running before the wind.

    I just remembered an animal that sort of fits this post. The Camelopard. It is the name of the Giraffe before the name Giraffe was a Giraffe. the 'first' Europeans that saw a Giraffe were perplexed by it appearance. It looked vaguely like a camel and a leopard, hence the name Camelopard. Only in Camela Harris's situation she can change her spots.

     [UPDATE: There has been a sudden out pouring of formally secret stuff from all corners. This update pertains to released "doctored-edited" video of an interview camela harris on the 60 minutes show. The unaltered interview is not at all flattering to camela. (yeah I spelled it that way.) Imagine that. I forget if this was the result of a lawsuit brought by President Donald J Trump or not]

 

Society - Slavery - Humanity

     Humanity existed for millennia before the advent of;

Agricultural

Cities

The Wheel

Modern Alphabets;

 Cuneiform 

 Hieroglyphics

Aramaic

And now that we can write Legal codes can now be written.

Ur-Nammu

Buddha 624–544 BC     The Birth of Buddhism

Jesus, 4 BC, Crucifixion 29 CE     The Birth of Christianity

Muhammad 570 CE-632 CE     The Birth of Islam

The development of Metallurgy

The Invention of Gunpowder and its Use in Weaponry: c. 800-1300

People start killing each other more efficiently, which allows various empires to rise and fall.

A series of technological revolutions are made.

                                    Steam Power

                                    Electrification                                    

                                    Medicine

                                    Atoms    (This is when we really started killing efficiently.)

But humanity managed to scratch out a living in the least hospitable regions of the planet with out the aide of any of the above Technological or Spiritual marvels listed above.

    There seems to be new evidence placing humans in the arctic more than 45,000 years before previously believed. the first believed inhabitation was 2500 BC

    Humanity managed to make it in the deserts over a million years ago as well.

    And we keep finding new evidence of human habitation every where. Archeology is finding us everywhere.

    I said all that to say this; We are more enslaved now than ever before in our history. And for the black folks out there; yes this includes the oft cited period of American Colonial Slavery so heavily pushed in history classes all across the Western world. 

    We are slaves to our water utilities. We are slaves to our electric utilities. We are slaves to the sewage utilities. We are slaves to our waste removal companies. We are slaves to the Medical establishment. We are laves to our cellphone companies. We are slaves to our internet providers.

    And lets not the whole notion of  'Making' food. I don't mean cooking it. But that does bring up the topic of fire. I am talking about trapping, fishing, hunting. |That is the acquisition of food. Then there is the preparation of this food. Again I am not talking about cooking it...  you get the idea.  Most kids today don't know what is involved behind laying your money down on a MacDonald's counter in exchange for a hamburger.

    The utilities can not come and overtly harm you but they can shut you off from their services for non-payment. That can make life very uncomfortable.

    The companies can not come and overtly harm you but being cut off from their services can make your life very uncomfortable as well. Have you ever tried to cut your child off from their cell phone use? That is a whole 'nother level of misery.

    Obviously there ways around this kind of slavery. But this level of dedication to a cause takes a very serious individual. The level of sophistication needed is impressive. 'Making' your own clean drinkable water is very difficult. Making' your own very electricity is difficult. 'Making your own anything is difficult. Modern manufacturing and technologies have made life very comfortable. I don't mean surreptitiously stealing water from your neighbors hose or electricity of from their unsupervised  exterior electrical outlet. I mean "Making" your own water and "Making" your own electricity. "Making" your own clothes. There loads of YouTube videos out there that will educate you on these practices. There are loads of You tube videos on just about anything you can dream up to type onto the search bar. You could likely study to become a 'Rocket-Surgeon' if you really wanted to. And become proficient at it.

    The point here is that we are slaves now, now more than ever. This kind slavery is much like that described in the movie "The Matrix". "The wool" has been slowly and comfortably pulled over our eyes. sometime in the name of convenience and sometime in the name of a crisis. And that throwing off the shackles of this sort of slavery is more difficult than getting a ticket for or riding the "Underground Railroad" Again I am sorry for upsetting the woke black community ever was.

    Both involve a great deal of courage, both involve a great deal of knowledge, planning, logistics, and a willingness to live a less comfortable life. 

    And both can/could be very hazardous if you don't have the skills or follow the rules. 

Woke Relations - Society - Kids today

 

    I think that Mr. Jordon B. Peterson is right to some degree. And by that I mean that so So SO many of the populations today has thrown off the "need" to make value judgments and moral decisions. "Feelings" now Far out way Facts in every way imaginable now. And Feelings are fickle. Little Johnny five year old "Feels" like little Joanny four year old today. And parents are smothered by a wet blanket of guilt and insecurity that they will take it as Gospel as it little Johnny Five year old's feelings have been hand delivered to the front door by Jesus Christ himself presented on a third stone table hand etched by the Lord God Almighty Himself that today little Johnny five year old must now be treated as little Joanny four years old girl. And all of this because if you don't he will suffer irreparable psychological harm and will do damage to his welling, long term. And all of this because the women on the View and Oprah said so, and so did Charlize Theron and Cher and Jamie Lee Curtis and and and... so it must be so. So lets get little Johnny five year old off to the sex reassignment center on the double before he changes his mind. We should push for the chemical first strike and then the surgical option in a year or so to keep from scaring his psyche. And as an interim measure we need to push the school to allow little Johnny five year old to use the girls rest rooms and locker rooms and must allow him to participate on the girls sports teams

 

    I look forward to your cards and letters.

Society - Empathy - LA Fires

     I watched this video of one of my favorite Social Commentators Ms. Ekpunobi. 

    But I reject her premise that Americans are not empathetic. It’s been my experience that Americans are among the most empathetic people on the planet. When a tsunami hits some where in the Pacific America parks an aircraft carrier and a hospital ship right off shore and deploys men, women and supplies and equipment within days. China and another nations with aircraft carriers are conspicuously absent. America has been accused of being the world police, poking our military noses into situations where we don’t belong. But when shit really hits the fan if we don’t show up we catch all the worst kind of hell. When the Carolina’s were destroyed by a hurricane Americans from ALL over the country descend on the region to help. I don’t see any other nation jumping in to help. Even when FEMA tries to turn volunteers back we dodge and keep poking by and pushing our way in. Even when FEMA was avoiding Trump neighborhoods. Even when Camela (Yeah I spelled it that way) ‘ever so magnanimously’ said the government would be willing to pay $750.00 for their loss, the rest of us were incensed but carried right on pushing and helping. I believe what she is seeing is that the holly-woke elite have burned up much of their social capital. Rachel Ziegler is the poster child for this push back. For decades holly-woke and by extension (guilt by association and geography) LA have been cramming their agenda down us non-elite’s throats. They have been throwing their considerable, woke at all costs, weight around. Incompetent Mayor and Governor WOKE DEI fire department. Environmental policies that put smelt and mice before the people that the government is supposed to protect. So votes LA and San Francisco so votes California regardless… By way of movies and TV with more message than entertainment. By pushing environmental activism at all cost. By way of ‘movie stars’ becoming more political activists than entertainers. I personally have decided that I will no longer watch the new offering from Hollywood that has in its cast Robert De Niro. Nor will I be watching anything that has in the cast Julia Roberts of Jamie Lee Curtis to name but a very few. Yes this a statement of stick your head up, get it slapped. They have all thrown a weighted, cold, wet blanket of their guilt over the rest of us all with their activism. They should step back into ‘their lane’ show up, act, collect their considerable paycheck, go home and do NOT pretend to be better or smarter or more enlightened than the rest of us. As far as I know Mr. Clooney does NOT have any degree in any family of political studies. Nor does he have access to nor attend senate committee meetings on national security.

    A long time ago I saw a clip on some social media platform showing Mr. Brad Pitt being asked his views on some political issue. His response was something along the lines of ‘I am no expert on any of this why do you think that I should be answering this question.’ That has obviously changed. The Oscars and now it seems that all of the glad handing, backslapping awards shows have been turned into a paid for political programming action piece. I think it was Marlon Brando who kicked open that door down. But wait there's more. So what with all the preaching and the lies and, and, and I find myself having a very narrow vision of empathy for the holly-woke elites. the nameless huddled masses, I completely empathize with, and had I any means of helping I certainly would. But I live in biden's economy on social security, Uber, plasma donations and slowly selling off my collections and possessions on eBay.

    I can certainly accept (and fall into this group) that Americans have become Selectively empathetic. Just as much of the upper 1% have become selectively empathetic. We, the lower 99% are looked down on by the holly-woke elite. No matter how much we worship, love and adore them. The likes of George Clooney think us cave dwelling troglodytes incapable of making 'proper' voting choices for ourselves. And that he, Mr. Clooney, must step up to a microphone, any microphone, every microphone and lead us by the nose to the voting booth and hand hold us during the voting process to be sure that HIS candidateS are properly voted for.

    This LA fire is tragedy it is certainly that. A Colossal tragedy. And there are, as you say, thousands of nameless people impacted by this. And the tragedy of the fires and overwhelming loss is compounded because these nameless masses will be lumped in the wealthy, powerful and privileged. (guilt be association and geography) But it is my experience there have been lots of tragic and fires just as devastating and horrific in their loss of life and property that go largely unreported and unnoticed because no ‘stars’ homes were destroyed on the making of this news cycle. Santa Rosa, the Paradise fire ,the fire that devastated several tiny towns Phoenix, Talent in Southern Oregon, The Camp Fire in rural Northern California to name but a very few. Likely you will not have heard of these fires. Every year or so there are just such firestorms somewhere in the Pacific Northwest that amount to but a tiny blip on the 24 hour news cycle. There will be loads of finger pointing to go around on this particular fire though. I do hope that something positive will come of this. 

                                                            I hope it but I doubt it.

    I think that the election has, or at least it should have, told the elites in holly-woke that the rest of us, NOT making millions of dollars for some small number of months of work, are tired of being preached AT. There is absolutely NO WAY that acting in a movie not even Tom Cruise's movies, is a more important or more difficult or should be paid SO much more than oil well work or coal mining or trying to put out a fire in a region that the firefighter can NOT afford to live in with NO water. And just as you say the nameless masses do not get the same airtime that Mr. Mel Gibson gets because his house was razed to the ground because they are just that, nameless huddled masses. The thousands that you mention absolutely deserve the airtime and HELP and empathy from every corner. They absolutely do. I also do not say that the wealthy do not deserve empathy. But I truly feel that this empathy is legitimately mitigated by their activism. And no I do not know where the bar of ‘wealth’ can be set. Initially I did not feel too very much for Mr. Gibson’s loss (I see Mr. Gibson as the poster child for the wealthy because he has lots of airtime and because of his hair gel sound bite which was Absolute genius.) plight, because he truly can with A phone call have the replaceable bits of his home replaced, and he certainly has some other home, likely in Hawaii where he can live relatively un-impacted until his LA home is replaced, he was describing things of his that were lost. The thing that hit hardest was a mention of a rare book. That is a thing that is lost forever. Can’t be replicated. It is History, now gone forever. It’s not some modern art ‘master piece’ that absolutely CAN be replicated or replaced. If the Hollywood elites had remained anonymous like the rest of us poor slobs except for when their work was released. They would not have burnt up their social capital. (They should not really have social capital to burn, but that is rant for another time) But when they use their power and influence to push their "enlightened" and dangerous agendas onto the rest of us they put themselves in this position. I think the Germans call this schadenfreude. I have NO empathy for their activism. Maybe they didn’t knowing do this to themselves but perhaps they will learn from this. Maybe they will Sit down Shut up and do what WE pay to do, act or sing or entertain or whatever but NOT preach AT us. Because that is what they do; they preach AT us.  And I am not talking about their plight with the paparazzi and how difficult it is to simply go shopping for groceries without being mobbed, or real life looks versus glammed up for the Red-Carpet camera looks. In my opinion that is why they get paid the Millions. so that they can hide behind gated properties and hire otherwise anonymous people to do their shopping. And I imagine that perhaps they may have covertly contributed to the Overnight delivery miracle that is the Amazon shopping experience. Much like the porn industry did for the VHS recording format. (What this article fails to disclose that the porn industry signed onto the VHS recording format signing the death of all other video recording formats, because who didn't want their porn in the comfort of their own living/bedroom instead of having to go to the 'other' side of town.) I am talking about when George Clooney shoots off his mouth about how America should vote. Mr. Clooney had better NOT be privy to any sensitive or secret information that the rest of US are not privy to making his words more informed than the rest of us unwashed masses. But when he steps up to the microphone his vote by dint of his 'Star' power and popularity suddenly becomes multiplied by thousands. That is wrong, very very wrong. The left keeps screaming about how a vote for Trump was a nail in the coffin of democracy. But the idea that Mr. insert Actor Name here can influence an election is death to democracy but thousands of times worse. The American obsession with ‘movie stars’ is perhaps going to take a rest now.

[UPDATE: It seems that celebrity is dead. (see below) Further It seems that Gal Gadot inflicted the first of the 10,000 cuts. Another great You tube commentator is Bret Cooper.]

                                                                I hope it but I doubt it.

    This fire and all of the ensuing fallout could/should be a catalyst for that change. The change that Americans voted for in November.                                                                         

                                                                I hope it, but I doubt it.

Woke relations - Race Relations - LA Fires

     I watched this clip of a video on a wide variety of social media places. Because I was trying to determine if this was some sort of fuck-off deep-fake AI generated non-sense. But it does not appear to be. Which is FAR worse than if it had been a fakey bit of video. I edited it down from a source Lefties Loosing it I think. 

    I think that Ms. Larson must/should  have been fired or sent to a re-education camp even before the final syllable left her lips. And the look of utter disdain on her [I assume her/she] face at the end is Oh So Very telling of her view of humanity at large. I could not find a single instance of this clip anywhere as a stand alone piece. It is always part of a news report or something. I thing someone made a mad dash effort to have this expunged from the internet. But as we all know the internet is forever. And after watching it I believe that this clip will probably make Viral Video of 2025 when they make those lists.

    But enough about that. 

    How bad of a racist, misogynist, sexist, homophobe, transphobe or what ever -ist or -phobe do you have to be to reject help from a first responder for any -ist -phobe or what ever else reason that can be laid at the feet of a straight white man these days. Apparently the new way to say this is CIS-Gender. I only just now took the time to look this cis-gender thing up. And I must say that this Cis-Gender label sounds a bit more than a little pejorative. Although I will say that if this Fuck-Off showed up at my door and were I able to see and speak I would say let me die! NOW! Please Kill me! NOW!

 

    I have had a couple of instances where I was in need of help. I did NOT I repeat Did NOT see the color of their skin, the length of their hair [female reference] or care about who they take to bed or what ever else -ist or -phobic reaction that could possibly pop into your head in that situation. Those -ists and -phobes really do not meet people at the door in those situations. The only instance that I recall even a little of those rendering aid in my time of need was that a Sheriff was very rough with me. As it turns out the Sheriff's department gets involved when there is a death situation involved. And as it turns out I was being combative because I was in the throws of attempting suicide. Had the above Fuck-Off showed up I would not be typing this now. So thank you to the Sheriff that could see through my stuff and not be a racist or whatever.

    I have long thought that the "Will and Grace" show from 1998 was the first gay based TV show. (As it turns out I was right.) It was the first TV show that 'normalized' gayness to the TV audience. Going back a bit farther to 1980 and to the TV show "Bosom Buddies" was the first show that at some level 'normalized' transvestism or cross dressing or drag what could now be viewed as trans-gender. Of course it stopped WAY short of any of these issues. And of course that is looking back through the lens of  'If I knew then what I know now'. And again looking back still farther to 1959 to the Wonderful comedy "Some like it Hot". In 1959 "Some Like it Hot" was a VERY Difficult movie to get made. The making of "Some like it Hot" was the result of a confluence of many fortunate events. Read All About it here. Or watch about it here. It was based on a French movie from 1935 "Fanfare of Love". But movies are now replete with this sort of thing As seen in "Victor Victoria". But typically these movies based in France. France being the epicenter of all things 'Anything goes artistic' expression. Until along came "Mrs. Doubtfire". But of course that was based in San Francisco. So there is that.

     These were some subtle uses by Holly-woke to push unpopular agendas on the public. By first normalizing gayness on TV by way of the Will and Grace show; this paved the way for gay marriage. A long time ago Holly-woke learned that they could manipulate the public with movies. During World War II they put propaganda pieces in front of many movies. Sort of like the movies version of Stars and Stripes. Nazi Germany was famous for this sort of thing. Joseph Goebbels was the head of the propaganda branch of the Nazi movement. Now as we can OBVIOUSLY see holly-woke has dialed up the propaganda side of movies and TV to 11 in favor message over entertainment.

    I think I mentioned that my take on the movie "Everything Everywhere all at once" was perhaps the worst offender of all time, all at once, everywhere, for all time. It was a propaganda piece wrapped up in a shitty would science-fiction movie. No matter what this part of the Wiki page tries to spin this shit up to be with the heavy handed use of fancy terms such as a swirl of genre anarchy, nihilism, metatextually, bittersweet domestic drama, Afro-pessimism, inter-generational trauma, dadaist absurdism, modus operandi, omnicidal but it all boiled down to a point at the end of the movie where in the mother Michelle Yeoh must accept and introduce her daughter Stephanie Hsu and her girlfriend to her father James Hong. Who intern does without even blinking accept his grand-daughter and girlfriend. The whole SHITTY mess could have been avoided IF only mother had accepted her daughter for who she is at the outset of this inter-generational drama/trauma and audiencial trauma.

    The OVER ARCHING message; If you don't accept your lesbian daughter and be proud of her 'out as lesbian' and her lesbian girlfriend you could cause this universe and the entirety of multiverse to spontaneously unravel into a state of, and I don't even recall what that dismal fate was now it was such a shitty movie. I watched it only because I do like the Science fiction and I respectED Michelle Yoeh and Jamie Lee Curtis. No longer. I kept waiting for some sort of payoff for staying seated for such a long time. No reasonable payoff was forth coming. The phrase "That is 139 minutes I will never get back". But of course anything that has happened in time is time you will never get back. But there are some slices of time that are more regrettably lost than others. This is one of those regrettable slices of lost time.

    It was nominated for and won an absolute SHIT-TON of awards and fawning accolades. Apparently the budget was 17 $Million and it shows. But that is to be expected in today's holly-woke environment. The more woke you can make your movie the more awards your movie is likely Going to win. Paraphrasing the immortal words of  'Gunnery Sergeant Hartman' That was SO Ugly it became a 'Modern Art Masterpiece'.

     Perhaps that is about to change.

    [Update: This years Oskys was an absolute boon for being trans. This why the Elite have placed themselves far and a way above the rest of us, the mainstream folks. I think/hope this will be a part of the decline in celebrity adoration culture that grips the country.]

Society - Women PT1

     Women hate men and men don't care.

    It seems odd to me now though that the 4B Movement is getting so much airtime these days. It is nothing new. There is literally  nothing new under the sun. Lysistrata was written millennia ago and told the same basic story. Only now that the entire global population is on the verge of collapse we really cant afford this sort of disruption. South Korea, where 4B originated is experiencing population collapse that make the Black Death, Great Plague look like a summer allergy season. Apparently women who were already upset with the state of relations between men and women were "triggered" by the election results in America and are now shaving their heads stopping wearing makeup getting neck tattoos and what ever else they can think of to make themselves repellent to men. To be fair many of these women were already pretty repellent to men at large any way. Given the state of the Mano-sphere that really isn't going to accomplish much. Lots of men have 'quit' American women and moved overseas. A counter-movement to Modern Western Women's entitlement is the Passport Bro. Many it seems to the Philippines. American women crab about how American men are moving there because the women there are uneducated or desperate or any number of other slurry sorts of things that they can throw against the wall. But its Not sticking. It just makes American men more and more likely to re-up their passports, weigh anchor and bid a not so very fond farewell to those shrill, spoiled, entitled American women.

    If I were a younger man and the where with all to move, I would.

Race Relations - Yet again

     Why are Race relations strained to an all time high in America today?

    I guess my only take away from this video is this, the black woman accuses the white woman of calling her a "N!@@€R". And did speak THEE Offensive Word to the Police Officer. I do absolutely believe that if the police officer had spoken THEE Offensive Word back to her even in an only quoting her for his note taking record manner the black woman would have had that Police Officer put on trial, in a Kangaroo Court there in the parking lot, put in jail fired, publicly excoriated, paid for his wife's inevitable divorce, blm would have held a daylight candle light vigil and the Right Reverend Al Sharpton himself would have flown in on his private jet then a rented helicopter to that very parking lot with his personal podium in tow with in minutes of the police officer's arrival, to decry the racial bigotry brought on by the systemic racism throughout America that was without cause perpetrated upon this poor lost lamb of a woman who did nothing What-So-Ever to incur the unbridled Wrath of this Viscous and Hateful, white-Supremacist, Neo-Nazi, Fascist, white woman and the verbal brutality of the Police Officer. blm would have firebombed that Starbucks and the neighboring businesses and special attention paid the white woman's house, but not before making certain that the entire family was securely locked inside. Those incidents would have been calked up as poor gas line maintenance. Both the officer and the white woman would have had their faces splashed ALL over EVERY available media outlet with in the hour. Because the white woman and the Police Officer had used THEE offensive Word that shall not be spoken, by anyone other than a black person. 

    How is it possible that in black culture and in the black community N!@@€R can be and is freely thrown around like candy at Halloween, but WOE betide any poor fool outside the black community and culture that drops THEE N Bomb. Even FÜÇK is more acceptable than N!@@€R in any and every setting. Even President biden drops the F bomb on hot mics on the regular, or at least he used to. I think he has forgotten that word along with his own name. Whip out the "F" word and nobody bats an eye but drop THEE "N" Bomb and things take a decidedly dark turn (pun absolutely intended) and 

                                        RIGHT NOW

    I don't know how to just have a audio file in a hyperlink sort of thing which is why you get to see Mr. Chick McGee say "RIGHT NOW"

    How is it possible that black culture and the black community has fought for decades to Erase THEE "N" Word from the GLOBAL vocabulary but somehow this same said black culture and community retain 'Ownership' of THEE "N" Word for their own use and as a stylized shield against any one who dare utter it even under their breath like it is some heinous action on par with the Holocaust? And they have breathed life back into it. Using freely in movies and especially in rap music.

    This is a similar bit of video, and so is this, and this. The number of these videos is staggering. It is this sort of thing that makes it so very difficult to Not be a racist. I don't understand the entitlement that is on display in these videos. I do believe that the Proposition 47 has really moved the entitlement needle right past peak to a heightened new level especially in California. This is a better video by Amala Ekpunobi who takes the time to break this down really well as she usually does. She produces great content. I highly recommend her work.

     I came across this video of Chris Rock a while back and thought that I will post it here as a small counter point to all of the not so black friendly Ñ‼@@€RÐLY videos. Here Mr. Chris Rock. explains it in a way that only a black man can. Because if a white man did this he and his family three generations both past and future would have the shit canceled out of them. Fired from work and Firebombed out of their homes.                                       

                             It all but speaks for its self. 

    I have recently taken up a youtube viewing habit of watching movie reactions by content creators. Some are better than others but when EVER a movie scene issues the word N¡@@€R every content creator visibly blanches and has an absolutely visceral reaction. In the movie Full Metal Jacket Gunnery Sargent Hartman is giving his 'welcome speech' where in forms the recruits that there is no racial bigotry in his Beloved Corps. He does not look down on n¡@@€Rs, kikes, waps, or greezers. Everybody asshole clinches up so tight with the first of that list of non-bigotry that there must certainly little bitty shards diamond in their underwear. They all stop-down at the first utterance of n¡@@€R. But Kike, wap, and greezer slides right by like he was reading the grocery list of the day. Absolutely Nothing. Now perhaps they don't know what a kike or a wap or a greezer is I don't know. Maybe they blanched so hard and the n¡@@€R word that there was no time to regain composure. I don't know that either. But I do know that line could not be included in a movie today. Not even Quintin Terentino would have the nerve to try that. And he is the man who brought Mother Fucker back to cinema. Well he and Samuel L Jackson. Nobody delivers a "Mother Fucker" on screen like Mr. Samuel L Jackson. Nobody.

 

Race Relations - Black Language

     AAVE This is a new thing that I heard last night. "African American Vernacular English".

    I just had a look at this WIKI page on the phenomenon that is the AAVE. The way I saw it yesterday I thought it was just a word substitution thing. Holleeee ShiiiiiiT was I Wrong. It is literally a whole other 'side' language. I guess is how I would say it. This AAVE uses many of the words from the English language but its not English. In the same way that English 'appropriates words from other languages like French and German. There are entire sections devoted to new ways to treat both Vowels and Consonants and accent. Its like English but not English. Its like English for Dummies. Its lazy English. And it seems that that black culture and the black community have laid claim to this new bastardized form of English. When I first learned of this new phenomenon [I say new as I understand it it is not too terribly new] I know that I am sounding like I am coming down harshly on this new language, because I AM. The Black community has been making these same excuses for the laziness of black students in schools for quite literally DECADES. I am old enough to recall when the first go-round of this was 'popular' Back in the early 70's came along an English 'language equivalent' called Ebonics.  And I doubt that is the first occurrence of this sort of thing. It was basically the same thing. It is prison speak that was taught at home and was being used in school by recalcitrant black students who Actively Refused to learn ENGLISH. I resist using the phrase Proper English. English is a slippery language. It morphs and evolve over time. Some times for the good and sometimes NOT. And the Oakland school district was considering or maybe even did pass some sort of ordinance that would allow black students to speak and write in this Ebonics language so that the teachers could pass these same lazy recalcitrant students up through the grades and eventually matriculate them out of school with 'actual' diplomas based in part on this Ebonics language model. High school diploma's that are supposed to be a short form employment application qualifier. The 'diploma' is supposed to certify to a potential employer that the student bearing this would be diploma has passed with some level of proficiency the general course load for a high school student. That being that this student should be able to read English, speak and understand English, be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide. And at some level under some little bit about American history and hopefully some little bit about world history. At a Bare Minimum. Minimum! But the school board felt that it was somehow more important that the students be able to "articulate" their thoughts and ideas by using this new language of ebonics. And while I agree that the students should be able to "articulate" their thoughts and ideas must at least some weight must be measured in how well this student can articulate their thought and ideas to through the use of actual English not a criminalized version of English. Employers that may not be the least bit familiar with the the 'language' that is Ebonics. A high school diploma is supposed to be at some level like a drivers license. You should be able to take you diploma to any state in  the Union and have this diploma be understood to mean the same in Oakland California as it does in Des Moines Iowa. While I don't actually know about the demographics of Des Moines Iowa I do not think they will have any Ebonics/Jive Translators readily available. I surely do not even know what 'June Cleaver' was saying there. Maybe Jive is some sort of dialect of Ebonics or maybe Jive is a 'language' unto its self or maybe AAVE is just some downstream codified umbrella under which both Jive and Ebonics hide. Ebonics must be a real thing because my spell checker knows it.

    It has been decades since graduated from high school and I do agree that English is tough to learn. I couldn't "Diagram" a sentence to save my life. And I sure as fuck do not know what the pluperfect tense of the verb go is or even if go has a pluperfect tense. Or what pluperfect means. But I do believe that I can string together a fairly coherent sentence and cogent and argument. A thing SADLY lacking in our soon to be used to President (biden) and Vice President (harris).  On the list of the most difficult languages to learn it didn't even make the top ten.

    There are So many rules and So many exceptions to all of those rules. And it seems that many of the rules that they beat into you along with their accompanying exceptions are not as hard and fast as was taught. For instance the use of the words And and But to start a sentence. As I recall that was a big no no. But as it turns out maybe not as rigid as they would have has us believe. I hated my English classes. There was one point where my teacher was asking the class why the writer of the "Great Gatsby" might have been using the word and I shit you not the word "it" in this sentence whatever that sentence might have been and how it might have changed the entire passage had he chosen to use a different word. I about silently shit myself. As I read that passage there was NO other word that could have been used there in that sentence in that context. But who am I to crab. I don't have a Masters in English Literature. I couldn't understand how that book and others like it had become 'American Classics' and that they must be studied in perpetuity for their scathing insights into the American psyche. "The Great Gatsby" and "A catcher in the Rye" and "Grapes of Wrath" and "To Kill a Mockingbird". To be fair something clicked for me with "to Kill a Mockingbird" I did enjoy reading it. But that didn't mean that I understood any of the underlying subtle subtext being 'taught' to us about race relations in the south in the Year of Our Lord 1936. But somehow I found it to be a good story. I really hate it when 'professors' get all high and mighty about what the story is 'Really' about. Cant a story just be a story? [Spin this video out to about 4 minutes to see the message] But does there have to be a 'Message' in everything? Cant an Orange just be an orange?

     So, yes English is tough. But so is life. And in order to get along in the world and in life there some basic tools that one needs to have. In America Good and 'Proper' English is an important tool. And teachers who are letting students slide by in English by teaching 'Not English' but what ever AAVE represents as a language are doing their students and America an incredible dis-service.

Race Relations - Education - American History

     American History

    American history as it is being taught in American schools is a total SHAM. It is a Guilt induction indoctrination passed down from the Marxist college professors. I say that because the University system has a hard-on for America and want to tare it down mind by mind by mind by mind. And they are doing that by selectively teaching the Crappiest parts of American history. I say Selectively because they sort of gloss over the Revolutionary War and certainly only give the War of 1812 a chapter or two. There is Very Very little taught about the involvement of the French in the Revolutionary and 1812 wars. While the Revolutionary war was a pivotal time in American History, the war of 1812 was more consequential. I don't recall to much about the Spanish American War nor any of the other wars that went on in  America.

    Heck so much is given over to how horrible white people were to the black population of slaves. And by definition if you were a black person in America during that time you were by definition a slave. There were No black business owners, no black farmers and no black land owners and sure as shit no black slave owners. But oh Contrare there were in fact very successful business owners, black farmers, land owners and slave owners.

    The primary focus of American History as taught in high school is about how SHITTY America is. They teach that Every and Only White men owned slaves in Southern State of America leading up to and during the civil war. There is no balancing taught about how many Black men owned slaves. There was no balance taught about how few actual slaves there were. They do bang-on at GREAT length about how brutal and horrific slave owners were to their slaves. There is NO balance about how that the world has ALWAYS known slavery. The way they teach it they would have us ALL believe that the only people that were ever enslaved were black people. and they would have you believe that slavery only ever existed in the Southern States of America and they would have us ALL believe that the Civil war was ONLY about slavery. This is being taught through the lens of Marxist Victim hood. There only two states of being according to Marx. You are either an Oppressor or you are a Victim.There is No in between. Its a very binary view of the world. And it is the obligation of the victimized to throw off the Oppressor by any means necessary. And sort of by definition Marxist definition the victims only means available is through violent over throw. And again by definition again Marxist definition the violence was due penance or retribution for the oppressors oppressive ways. Sort of a Yoda-esque statement. "No. Try not. Do, or do not. There is No try." With Marx it was always very Binary. Which id sort of odd when you think about how everybody these days is throwing off the idea of "Binary". But are falling all over themselves embracing Marxist ideals. [Watch this video. It is some of the most illuminating 30 minutes you are ever going to experience.] Thank you so much "College Educators".

    [Sidebar; I noticed in Dead-pool II that on the wall of the Xavier's School for Gifted students has a framed portrait of Carl Marx on the wall. I wonder what that was supposed to subliminally mean.]

    Seen through this lens everything is oppressor and oppressed. And seen through a new set of lenses called Presentism Everybody back then should have known better and done better. Abraham Lincoln statues are being torn down because somehow some way he was a fuck up So too was George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Fuck ups the lot of them. And sure as shit tear down ALL that is southern culture. Robert E Lee, Gone. The Confederate Flag, Gone For Sure. This in response to the killing of George Floyd. Please note that I did NOT use the word murdered. I do not believe that he was murdered. He died as a result of a confluence of events. Every day it seems there comes new evidence refuting the evidence entered in the trial. But because the damage is done and the headlines published and blm satisfied that they got their rallying cry for an entire decade and that the blm organizers made millionaires the toothpaste can not be squeezed back into the tube nor the cat put back in the bag not the genie back into the lamp. So innocent white police officers that were betrayed by their own police chief will spend time in jail or prison. The WIKI page displays it as a murder because the entire world dropped down on the case against Derek Chauvin. The entire city of Minneapolis was on fire. Black people were burning everything and anything that could burn. And the mayor did NOTHING. He let it burn. And that was one of the pivotal moments in the blm movement. But I digress.

     Similarly they do not teach about ALL OF THE OTHER SLAVERY going on in the world. Colonial America did NOT invent slavery! Colonial America does NOT hold the patent to nor the copyrights to slavery. But the way it is taught  you would certainly think so. They teach how horrible it was to be a slave picking cotton in the brutal heat of the south until your fingers bled. No doubt a miserable condition. But did they ever teach about the conditions of being a Galley Slave in a They did and do NOT. For a galley slave picking cotton in the South Georgia sun would be an All inclusive Club Med Vacation in comparison. Being a galley slave was quite literally like rowing your way right through Satan's Ass-hole.

    Oh and lets not forget the entire History of the Jewish people. They have almost not ever not been enslaved by somebody, some where at some time. The Bible is Replete with stories of Jewish slavery. 1948 Israel was created. I imagine that to this very day there still Jewish slaves.

    They do Not teach that there was Vast Tribal warfare and subsequent slavery going on in Africa long before America or France or Britain or Spain or Portugal or Holland or, or, or got involved. The movie that Viola Davis is OH SO Very proud of. What that movie did NOT tell about was that tribal Warrior woman she brutally enslaved thousands of her tribal neighbors and was a Big part of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. That trade was ostensibly with America. Did the move mention that. OH Heavens NO. That would be 'off topic' and counter to the WOKE narrative being PUSHED by All of hollywoke. She was able to abdicate this 'responsibility' by calling it entertainment and not a documentary. And I believe in that argument. And slavery was and is not to this day about race. It wasn't then isn't now and has NEVER been about race. Its about Power. If one group could over power another group they would make slaves of the weaker group. Central American tribes people have been involved in slavery for as long as the Meso-Americas have been civilized. The Mayans, the Aztecs, the Olmec, Nobody was exempt. And that doesn't account for South America and the Peruvians. They famously had coca leaves to chew on while going about their Fierce battles and slavery stuff. The Indians of America were also slavers. Tribe on tribe slavery was very prevalent. Us poor old American white guys are but bit players in the overall scope of slavery as an institution. But us poor old American white guys bare ALL the weight of that sin against humanity. I do hear that British history lessons is much the same. British history is taught that the Brits enslaved the entire population of India and everywhere that their empire would reach. But in the view of the rest of the world the poor old American white guy is the Absolute worst offender.

    There is NO education given about the slavery going on in North Africa. The Barbary Coast. Those Pirates took and made slaves of everybody they could catch and concur. Principally White British, Spanish, Portuguese  ANYbody sailing just about anything in the area. The Marine Corps Hymn talks specifically about "The Shores of Tripoli" That was the very heart of the Barbary Coast. The Epicenter of Piracy and slavers.

    And they Certainly do NOT teach about modern day slavery. Slavery is a thing of the past. All white people in all of America had to be 'put down' to rid the world of the surge of the white mans propensity to enslave black people. But there are more slaves today at this very moment, in THIS as you read this moment [estimated 40 million] than were EVER enslaved in the whole of the 218 years of Colonial American slavery. EVER! [estimated TOTAL 10 million]And most of today's slaves are women. Sex slaves. Eastern European village women duped into thinking that they can make it in Turkey or some other Muslim nation as waitresses or other service industry positions. Positions yes, just not the ones that they were sold.

    Ms. Crockett seems to have skipped much of world history in her quest to achieve her business degree. So I get BENT when people like Ms. Crockett Bangs-On and On and On, on the congressional floor Wasting Everybody's time [She does however like to criticize those who are NOT her who waste tax payer money] and MONEY about black Oppression in America. How only black people are and have ever been oppressed and sort of by definition in her argument by white people. [She herself does NOT seem to have been the victim of any oppression] Its Always White on Black Oppression. There is nothing else. No other race has ever been oppressed besides the black people. And she rails on and on about it and it not like the rest of the members in this meeting don't know this but it is incumbent upon her and her alone because she herself is a black woman to for 40 minutes remind everybody that they should hang our white people collective heads in shame for the actions of people 200 years ago. And that All white people should operate from a position of shame and guilt, Forever.  But this assertion by Ms. Crockett feels like a not so thinly veiled black on white oppression. And that the magnitude of these sins mean that ALL white people will forever and in  perpetuity be guilty and that we should never forget it and should the need arise she will be OH SO happy to re-re-re remind us of our inherited sin. A sin that can NEVER be washed form the collective hands of ALL white people everywhere. EVER!

Race Realations - Cultural Appropriation

    Cultural appropriation.

        This was originally going to be a shorty little nothing of a throw away essay until I found this...

                                            'Debunking Cultural Appropriation'

[Update. After ruminating on the subject of  Cultural appropriation I believe that Cultural Appropriation a bit of a misnomer. It seems that all those who are upset by this Cultural Appropriation are upset because those doing the Appropriating are some how misusing their bit of culture. It seems to me that Cultural Misappropriation is the more apt and fitting and correct descriptor. It had me thinking that there might be a case to be made for the act of Cultural Dis-appropriation. I had the idea in my mind but over the course of the evening I lost it. Such is the case with old farts I guess. If I figure it out I will update. I was watching a show on the Netflix that I highly recommend "Black Doves". But in this show there is a black man in London England wearing a sweater printed and maybe woven in with some Indian Blanket pattern. Is this individual guilty of cultural Appropriation? Misappropriation? Cant he just be wearing it because he thinks it pretty and colorful without having to get into all the subtle nuance of what is or is not acceptable to the Indian tribes back in  America? Of course this was a show and so some show-runner/costume designer is responsible for the shirt, sooo... ]

     [ This was the throwaway part of the essay. I keep hearing more and more about 'Cultural Appropriations.' And how the black community is bent because white people are mimicking black culture. I am no expert on black culture by any means, but I do see an awful lot of black women sporting 'Straight Blonde Hair'. Certainly this is not endemic of any Black Culture at all. Black people with green eyes and other similar coloration pasterns are the result of mixed race coupling and general genetic weirdnesses. I don't mean to imply that those with the vitiligo condition are in any way weird. I look forward to your cards and letters. Are those individuals afflicted with green eyes and lighter skin ostracized by the rest of black culture? I hear some black people referring to white hoods and thugs as 'Wiggers.' These Hoods and Thugs are mimicking the Worst of black culture. Which is crumby because this culture gets the most attention because it it the most sensational and hurtful to black culture as a whole.]

    This woman is attempting to "Debunk Cultural Appropriation". I disagree with her on virtually every point.

        Her first point regarding cultural appropriation is "You are just looking for something to be offended by". in my opinion she deflected that argument with a non-answer. When she dredges up the Tried and true and now Fucking old "Marginalized Communities' argument. This is simply "WOKE Speak' for Whitey is oppressing us yet again in new and more offensive ways. That doesn't debunk anything. SHE IS truly looking to be offended. The Corn-Rows hair style did not originate only with the black community. Many cultures developed that hair style independently of black culture. So I disagree with her assertion that the black community 'Owns' the rights to and holds the patents and copyrights there to the corn-row hairstyle. The black community has certainly used it most recently, frequently and artistically. The fact that an individual was fired for styling their hair in corn-rows, to me speaks to the individual's aggressive attitude about their hairstyle. I don't know the specifics of this particular action but I can not imagine that any company fired an individual with out some sort of communication about the hairstyle long before the firing took place. This individual didn't walk in one day with corn-rowed hair and get fired upon setting foot through the door. HR was certain to have been involved on multiple occasions. In a business environment that style of hair might have been too aggressive at the front desk. No company would fire an individual for such a thing as hairstyle and open themselves up to a wrongful termination lawsuit. Having your hair corn-rowed off the clock is none of the companies business. Celebrities corn-rowing up their hair for public appearances is up to them, but they obviously do so at their own risk. And I don't even have to imagine that celebrities who do corn-row their hair for edgy styling looks are called out for it and do it at the risk being forced to make some form of  apology or preform some other act of contrition. The terminated individual may have looked 'too edgy' or aggressive for their position at the company. They may also have even been to aggressive or otherwise militant or otherwise unfit for the job. This individual may also have had a chip on their shoulder regarding White Supremacy or some such thing. Just like its not likely that Hooters is going to hire men or obese women for their restaurants. They have a business model and business image and brand to maintain.

    Her second point is that the appropriaTOR 'Must' have respect for the appropriaTED culture or piece of culture. Why is that a prerequisite for getting a tribal tattoo? Are the only persons 'legally' able to get tribal tattoos Maori tribe members? A tattoo is a deeply personal thing especially if you are going to be sporting that tattoo on your neck or face. By the way neck and face tattoos just scream DON'T HIRE ME! Is her next argument going to be against using sex to sell clothing, or cars, or jewelry, or perfume, or movies, or booze, or anything that can be sold, sex will sell it better, faster more often and for more money. Who exactly 'Owns' sex? Which culture holds the patent and copyrights to sex? Certainly the Maori tribes may have created the tribal face tattoo. And their tattoo work certainly have great personal and tribal significance, in their tribe, no argument. But slapping a face tattoo on a model selling sunglasses is no different than having a half naked woman selling the same thing. Go to ANY car show anywhere in the world and you will see pretty women standing next to the next big thing in the automotive world. Look at any beer ad. Every ad using sex to sell a product is stripping the individual model of their personality and humanity just to sell the whatever. Is that culturally appropriative or oppressive? Or both? Is that going to change? NO it is not.

    Her third point is that if the corn-row-ee doesn't find it offensive to corn-row their hair and their appropriated culture friend doesn't either. But that friend doesn't necessarily represent the whole of the culture who 'owns' the rights to use or withhold the use of the bit of appropriated culture. Does the black community as a whole 'Own' the corn-rowing hairstyle? Is she making patent or copyright infringement argument?

    Her next point is about the miss-use of a bit of culture. Her example is a thing that Katy Perry did on stage. Did she get Bent because an idiot singer and choreographer goofed the styles and actions for the sake of a stage performance? I don't know anything about this Particular stage show of singing and dancing but I do know that there hasn't been a music video or stage performance that hasn't gotten something wrong culturally somehow someway at some time. Heaven forbid that they use the incorrect kimono colors or styles, or makeup or incorrect historical time period hairstyle. Does the stage performance coordinator need to do a DEEP Dive into the cultural history of every single move made on stage as well as the makeup and hairstyle and dance step? Bollywood dance style is often depicted on stage and in movies NO one can argue that every instance of Bollywood depicted everywhere anywhere for public consumption must be 'pitch perfect'. There hasn't been an action movie, ever, that Absolutely adheres the exact martial arts style in an action sequence. NOT ONE. Not even the late Great Bruce Lee was immune to this type of appropriation. Is she insisting that every stage presentation and movie have a cultural appropriations coordinator, liaison and advisor, onset director and choreographer and executive producer on set to be absolutely sure that John Wick uses perfect what ever martial arts style he uses forms at all times, and doesn't make a single misstep for the sake of an imagined 'Cultural Appropriation Police'? Did the imagined 'Martial arts Defamation League' ever have anything to say about any Martial arts action movie ever made? Certainly there are now YouTube critics popping up all over the place critiquing the John Wick movies and Top Gun movies for accuracy. But those action sequences are NOT for educational purposes. The Movie makers are not pro porting their movies to be some kind of accurate in Any Way At All. It's Entertainment. Or what passes for entertainment. Nor did the Katy Perry stage people either. You do not go to a Katy Perry show to be educated. Its just a Song and Dance show. I am certain that the Katy Perry dance choreography people didn't sit down and say "you know what would be deeply offensive to the entirety of the Asian community".

    Her next argument is that if you walk on stage with a floor length Chieftain Head Dress with a leopard print bikini and assorted turquoise bangles bits that some how you are somehow OPPRESSING some Body or some Culture. How is this an act of oppression exactly? Does this get-up cause any Individual or any Culture financial harm? Does it set the cause of Indian relations back 100 years? Does this stage show somehow inhibit somebody's ability to get a job? The only thing I see here is that who ever threw this get-up together probably did so after a weekend bender involving copious amounts of absinthe and some fun mushrooms in their vegan salad. People who who tune into or attend this sort of show certainly know that is not for educational purposes. Oh and that designers have Really bad taste. And was the model that was 'forced' to ware and parade around on stage being Oppressed? If you look at the Fashion industry as a whole their creative muses are pretty fucked up. If anybody is being oppressed its the models who have to go onstage wearing these hallucinogenic nightmares on stage and in public with a straight face or rather the grim face of abject disrepair. Fashion designers have been dropping ACID for decades. And it shows. Wacky Yes Oppressing NO.

    I am not totally certain what her next argument is. It seems like she is balling up cultural appropriation with cultural assimilation...   How is Farrell wearing an Indian head dress on the cover of Elle magazine an issue? Goofy maybe. As I said before Most Fashion is goofy or edgy by design. Why should Mr. Farrell have had the "Much Deserved Flack" delivered to him such that it caused him to deliver an apology and to whom was this apology addressed? Did Every body get the memo? Were they all appeased? I doubt it. Because once you make an apology to one group you are certain to omit some crucial piece of information that will lead those intended to appease to conclude that you are neither sincere or apologetic. Every time any Body, does any Thing, any Where, at any Time, Ever at all anymore Without the help of some Cultural liaison they must be prepared to deliver an apology or make some other act of contrition to appease the Deeply Offended party or parties and there ALWAYS offended parties. ALWAYS. Nothing is exempt. If for instance Mr. Farrell should step out sporting a French Barret but has it on wrong, however that might be, does he need to be ready to apologize for that goof as well? Does this goof rise to the level of a Gaff? I think biden has an absolute Death GRIP on Gaffs. In fact by now if you look the word Gaff in the Miriam Webster Dictionary you should see a picture of biden. Is that goof going to cause an international indecent? Is the French Nation going to go to Def-con 1 because of this? I doubt it because the French people are too busy with a collapsing government and an out of control Muslim population setting fire to some part of Paris or another. Again do the photo shoot people now need to have some sort of All Knowing Cultural Attache, Cultural Liaison on site to clear this with the Tribal Leaders or whoever to be sure this was officially approved by who ever approves such things? Did Mr. Farrell have an Apache bead band with Arapaho feathers in? Was he saying that this was a Nez Peirce tribe head dress when in fact it was a head dress representing the Pottawatomie tribe? Was he making some derogatory political reference with regard to this Indian Nations? Are you going to call out General motors for culturally appropriating the names Pontiac and Cadillac? Is the Use of those names going to cost General Motors some billions of dollars in reparations to the families of Chief Pontiac and Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac? What exactly was the issue. So now Farrell isn't allowed to Ever dawn an Indian head dress because he is not an Indian? What about that goofy hat that he wares. Isnt that culturally appropriated from some other culture? Have we come to the point that only Mexican actors can play in Mexican rolls in movies? It is my understanding that the actor person that plaid the Indian person in the TV show Yellow Stone was not in fact Indian. Neither it seems that one of the women actors playing a roll of an Indian. Are Only trans people able to play trans rolls in movies? Are we really there now? And now there is complaining because a BROWN Mexican playing a Mexican roll. This TOTALLY Smacks of Victim tribalism. Apparently there is much furore about his skin color. This actor calls out "Colorism" A new word for me, a new victim tribe. In this article there is talk about the Spanish Oppression of the Meso-American tribes in colonial area Mexico. I don't think there is a square inch of acreage on the planet who's peoples have not been subjugated and or oppressed by some other group of people at some time or another. And now WE ALL must wear the Cold Wet blanket of guilt for our ancestor's misdeeds. How long until this ancestral guilt can be laid aside. Can it ever be laid aside? I don't see that happening anytime soon. Not with the wave of Guilt Culture we are now riding. Oh can I say wave and riding in the same sentence with out offending the Native Hawaiian population? Because as we ALL know they invented surfing and as such 'Own' surfing. And the White Menace has appropriated that bit of culture as well. Now disney has entered the fray with their total re-imagining of the Classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" 'Little people'. There is also much talk about Dwarfs 'Little People' playing the titular characters in the Disney live action remake of Snow White. disney side stepped this whole problem by simply writing the Dwarfs 'little people' right out of the picture with the stroke of a pen. And replaced them with the seven Magical Creatures. But there was SO MUCH push back on that topic too the point that disney dropped all the 'Seven Magical Creatures' from the movie and inserted Crappy CGI Dwarfs 'Little People'. But WE White People daren't  address the brown elephant in the room, Snow White isn't White. Apparently Snow White's name Now comes from the idea that Snow White manage to survive a Blizzard or something. Nothing at all related to her skin color. And now we are learning that SNOW isn't even actually WHITE. If the White culture or community 'Leaders' whoever they are were to ever dare to make mention of this publicly and on the record who ever that poor slob might 'have been' would be canceled right out of existence three generations past, present and future would simply be erased.

As to her argument about Assimilation. If this woman was so moved to move to France because of her fondness for the french Culture she would certainly voluntarily and eagerly assimilate to the french culture. I know the natives would be to very forgiving for her Not learning the language in a damn big hurry. The french are damned unforgiving on that sort of thing. If you move to France because you like the culture then it follows that you would 'Assimilate' into the French culture. BECAUSE you liked the culture. You wouldn't move to France and try to remake it in your image and likeness. Much like the Muslims are doing ALL Across Europe at this very moment. The same goes for America. You have moved here its because something about the American culture appealed to you. Not just the Coke a Cola and Levies. When Ellis island was in operation 5000 people a day came to 'Make it in America'. They Assimilated. They learned the language they started companies. With out the help of the Government. For the most part the early immigrants assimilated. Yes there were Ghettos of Italian and Irish and Jewish and Chinese communities. Most major cities have a China Town or a little Italy. But I am absolutely and deeply offended by immigrants, any immigrants, coming to America by what ever means and choosing to purposefully and willfully NOT assimilate. If America is where you want to live why then why do immigrants feel the need to 'Bend' America to their own image and likeness? To force the DMV to have on staff a half dozen or more translators and to have reams of drivers license manuals in EVERY language imaginable available. You came to America. You knew what America was about. You knew that the principal language in America is English. With All of that fore knowledge you came here any way. I do not expect that you as an immigrant should shed ALL of your cultural history. Not at all!  Celebrate Cinco de' Mayo, Both of them. BUT DO NOT fly the Mexican flag above the American Flag. AND DO have the courtesy to adopt the American culture as well. The new wave of 'Visaed-up' college students all across America chanting "Death to America" ARE Absolutely Despicable and ABSOLUTELY must be Deported with Extreme Prejudice, Double ASAP! Along with every immigrant that has crawled under or over or around the boarder however where ever when ever they broke the immigration laws. Those are federal laws. If I break the speed limit and get caught I am held accountable. But if you do 'move' to America you are given the advance to Go card and collect $1500.00 a month tax free. Have interest free loans for the purposes of starting businesses made available to you and have no cost counselors available for the purposes of setting up and establishing your company. And are welcome to all the free medical and free education and so many other freebees just because you made it across the boarder. When local community governments are beset with waves of immigrants legal or otherwise they are CRUSHED by the unbalanced cost of providing all the mandated handouts that they must apply higher taxes to those who are actually contributing to the local economies by paying the taxes that pay for all of those freebees. And the newly arrived immigrants are exempt from these taxes. Unlike us poor Born here in America Slobs who are taxed to death and have no free medical, and higher education is as we ALL know prohibitively expensive even to the point of a Massive Government Bail-Out.

So further along into this argument she seems to say that you must have permission that you must first be "invited" share in the Hindustani culture to get your hand hennaed- up. You cant just go all willy-nilly and appropriate the bits and pieces of a culture to fit your own personal aesthetic. You have to first get an official engraved invitation by some state recognized representative or relative or friend of a friend of the Hindi culture you intend to appropriate before you even think about getting your hand painted with henna. Barring that she seems to saying that Anybody and Everybody wanting to have henna on their hand or hands they must first read up on the history and particular sect that is representative of the henna style you are interested in having on your hand. Then you must fly to the region where that henna style is prevalent, get permission from some local indigenous person, you should also have some sort of spiritual ritual Ora reading done to determine the exact pattern of henna to be applied to your hand, learn to cook the food of that region and even learn to read, write and speak that language and specific dialect. You cant just just splash some henna on your hand without proper 'Clearance'. Or else risk offending some unknown sect of Hindustanis who will come to your home in the middle of the night and gang rape you to near death. You must also 'Apply' for a Cultural Impact Study and be granted some form of waiver and be given an Official Culturally appropriations committee card declaring this cultural waiver before you can go about in public lest you offend a person from India and not be able produce your credentials on the spot or in some YouTube 'Outing'. Similarly she seems to be sayings that if you have a desire to get your hair corn-rowed-up you must first fully immerse yourself in the culture which ever culture is representative of the corn-row you style you want to have done. And by the sound of it she would insist that the stylist who does the corn-rowing be an officially Sanctioned, State Board Certified, Representative of the culture of the style that you are 'Applying' to have performed on yourself. You Cant just get any old corn row applied to your head. and as I said before black culture doesn't 'Own' or have any copyright nor patent on the corn-row hairstyle. 

And as long as I am banging on about the appropriation of a hairstyle, hairstyles seem to me to fall into a category of artistic expression. Does every would be artist trying their hand at the Cubist style of painting own some dues or reparations to the Family of Mr. Picasso? Did Mr. Picasso actually create the cubist style. Or did Mr. Picasso appropriate the cubist style and get famous for it Standing on the shoulders of some other artist? Without cultural appropriation at some level all artistic endeavor stops dead. Somebody somewhere is about to develop the next big thing in art or... but was "Inspired" by some other artist or ... who came before.

And as long I am banging on about artistic expression What about The Great Mr. Weird Al Yankovic. Jesus God ALL Mighty. His song "Jerry Springier". Is Parody now and forever and retroactively forbidden? It seems so in California. Well maybe not, but still the governor did try. Did Mr. Yankovic need to seek the help of a cultural liaison for the Amish Paradise song, or the Black cultural officials for the song White and nerdy, or the "Fat Positivity expert" in San Francisco for the song "Fat"? Where does this sort of cultural offensive avoidance end. Did the Village People have to make some apology for their band's mere existence. After all they appropriated a BUNCH of Cultures. Or did they get a pass because the band themselves were made up of a marginalized group?

    Does the cultural appropriations and oppression and offenses know no bounds? Is NO Body safe? Certainly black people seem to be exempt from everything because they are a minority. Us poor reasonably fit white folk aren't even able to claim some fun new whizzy cultural moniker. The black culture and community have changed their names several time over the years in some attempt to throw off the moniker imposed up on them by the Oppressive White Man, starting out as Black then Negro then Black again now African American. And those are the changes that I am familiar with. Who pushes for these changes? Who gets to approve these changes? And the term "Man" is an out growth of black culture. As in "Hey Man How are you doing?" Black culture threw off the reference 'Boy' imposed on them by the Evil White Slave Owning Master and started using Man in its place. Now every body has used it or still do us it. Are we all going to be held accountable for that bit of cultural appropriation? Is that cultural appropriation or appreciation or oppression or cultural insensitivity or what?
