THOR’s DAY RANT: Sotomayor Says- white is the new black!

Our country sure has come a long way. Unfortunately, it’s in the wrong direction.

I remember when cowboy movies had the good guys in white hats, and the bad guys in black. Back then I never would have guessed it was a racial dig on black people. And then George Lucas had to mix things up, putting Stormtroopers in white, and Darth Vader- who becomes a Good Guy in Return of the Jedi- in black. Movie colors got all mixed up.

I don’t know why it surprised me, but I was shocked to see a story yesterday about Supreme Court-nominee Sotomayor stating that "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." Wow.

It got me wondering- does she wear white sheets on the weekend, or perhaps red, white and green ones? Of course, she wouldn’t be caught dead wearing white, as that’s the new target of hate.

Don’t get me wrong about the whole Latinos-vs-whites thing. White Europeans did come to the Americas and interbreed with and brutalize the Native Americans throughout Central and South America. I can understand a little animosity there. Even though that was what, centuries ago? And all those people are long dead…

But the last people I would expect to embrace/nominate any racism would be African Americans.

Think about it, throughout the 1700s and into the 1800s, blacks were treated pretty damned poorly in the Southeastern United States. They were traded, owned and controlled like cattle. And when they did finally get liberated, the harsh treatment continued- slavery being replaced by segregation. We’re less than a hundred years into a truly integrated society where people really are created equal, and treated equally. Yet, Obama has not only embraced an apparent racist, he wants to put her smug ass in the Supreme Court.

I have to echo if a white man said something similar, he would be run out of town. Sotomayor’s logic sets a dangerous precedent. I only wish she could be hoisted on her own petard.

For example, if Latina women are smarter than white men, where do Orientals fall on the scale? Can we assume she agrees with Japanese racists, and that all Americans are not only fat and lazy, but inferior to the Japanese? Shouldn’t we then put Judge Lance Ito on the Supreme Court? He did a bang-up job on the OJ Simpson case.

And if there’s truth to the idea that race determines things like intelligence, then we have to also consider that other attributes, like, I don’t know, athleticism, must also be racially determined. I guess that means no more Larry Byrds playing basketball.

Maybe Judge Sotomayor would like to make a ruling on siestas? Perhaps she in her infinite El Girly wisdom could see fit to make it unconstitutional to not allow people siestas at work. I know I could use a nap in my busy day. I guess since I’m not Hispanic I won’t get it though. While she’s at it, maybe Sotomayor could mandate that Native Americans never have to pay for alcoholic beverages again. You know, because they’re all drunks, gambling away their government checks in their reservation casinos.

What brand of soap does Sotomayor like to use? Does she wash away the rigors of the day with some Irish Spring, or maybe a bar of Hitler’s best mix from Auschwitz?

I wonder what Sotomayor’s beef is against us folks that are pigment-challenged? Did she lose out on a scholarship in her college years? Did some white person get government-mandated special treatment that she wanted? Or maybe she’s angry about all the white people that get extra points added to test scores on Federal jobs? Or that are bussed into different school districts so they can have a chance to more easily learn hip-hop?

More importantly, besides being branded dumber than Latina women, what is next for white men? Aside from buying white sheets and joining the skinheads?

Apparently, in the Maobama administration, rainbows encompass all colors…except white.

 
EVOLUTION: A black and white issue?

Back during Barack Obama’s campaign, I noted in a cartoon the amazing similarity of Michelle Obama to the Geico cavemen. Having a rather caveman-shaped forehead myself, I felt this was fair game and a funny way to work in yet another dig on Chairman Maobama.

But I’ve been thinking–primarily about the cartoons I could have done, and I’ve had a stunning realization about Western society: The Theory of Evolution really is just another way to keep the black man down.

See, all of those nature-worshipping elitists that push Darwinism and Lamarckism believe that mankind evolved from monkeys. And, that the first human was a skeleton found in Africa that has been named "Lucy," who was a black woman. Ergo, mankind evolved from black women.

Now at first glance, a lot of black people (I use the color-descriptive term, because Africa isn’t full of just black people) might take pride in this scientific quackery, that their race was the first race. And, that they are the oldest, noblest progenitors of mankind. But that also implies they are the least evolved.

Remember, Lamarck and Darwin came up with their heathen blasphemies about man’s origin in the 1800’s, a time in world history when in the West, black men and women were deemed sub-human. In that age, white western men considered themselves the top of the food chain, their way of rationalizing centuries of slave trading.

For Europe, black men, and even native Americans, were not the same as "normal" men. The Spanish used the same rationale for justifying their invasion of the New World and forcing the natives to convert to Christianity.

Even "Evolution of Man" charts show the black man following apes, with white men following black men. Does all this mean that Barack Obama was the less-evolved candidate? That Americans have chosen a primitive paleo-liberal as their next president? Maybe, if you wear a pillow case over your head and like lighting crosses on fire.

Without getting all preachy, let me just close by expressing my sheer wonder that this hasn’t been noticed by the black caucuses and the NAACP before. Not really surprising since they have sought reparations from the United States, rather than the African nations that originally placed modern Black Americans' ancestors into slavery, and then sold them (if anyone could afford reparations, surely it would be the oil rich countries of Africa and the Middle East who are historically infamous for slave trading).

Now, it’s little wonder to me that so many black children going through our heathen school systems grow up feeling as though they don’t fit in with the rest of society. Or that all the rich, liberal snobs’ children grow up thinking they are better and that blacks need money thrown at them. Basically, we're subliminally telling young blacks that they're little more than animals.

This whole personal discovery has led me to revile Darwin and Lamarck even more than ever (something I never would have thought possible). Perhaps with a less-evolved president we could make some true progress and do away with the racist teachings of Evolution and begin telling our children that all men truly are created equal…not evolved differently.

 
White Guilt Is Dead

FROM TED ADKINS' White Guilt Is Dead: "…despite my glee, there's apparently one small, rabid bastion
of American racism remaining. Black Americans voted 98% for Barak
Obama. Hmmm…. In a color-blind world, shouldn't that be 50-50? Tonight,
every black person should ask forgiveness for their apparent racism and
prejudice towards white people. Maybe it's time to start spreading the
guilt around."
