A new professional basketball league boasting rosters made up exclusively of white Americans has its eyes set on Augusta, but the team isn’t receiving a warm welcome.

The All-American Basketball Alliance announced in a news release Sunday evening that it intends to start its inaugural season in June and hopes Augusta will be one of 12 cities with a team.

“Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league,” the statement said.

Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver, who has publicly expressed his support for minor league teams in the past, said he would not do the same for this team. (Source)

Oh white people.  You guys sure know how to crack me up.  It’s stories like this that remind me that the “post racial” dream that everyone keeps talking about is just that…a dream.  See, I know it’s a dream because racist white people have now gotten so deep into their denial that they don’t even know when they are being racist. It’s actually quite hilarious to watch.  Take what the commissioner of this league, Don “Moose” Lewis had to say (Are we surprise that his nickname is some form of animal? “Moose”, “Bear”, “Gerbil”):

“There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing,” he said. “I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.”

Mind you.  There’s actually been an influx of white, European players into the NBA these days.  But let’s ignore that.

Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of “street-ball” played by “people of color.” He pointed out recent incidents in the NBA, including Gilbert Arenas’ indefinite suspension after bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, as examples of fans’ dissatisfaction with the way current professional sports are run.

Ahh, yes…because every time I go to play “street ball wit my niggaz” I make sure I pack my 9mm.  Not excusing the idiotic shit Gilbert Arenas did, but that was a lockerroom incident and had nothing to do with the fans or the game in which he played.

“Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?” he said. “That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction.”

Yes because only black players flip off the fans or get violent.  This is what I’m talking about.  Subtle (actually not so subtle) racism through bullshit stereotypes.  So because a few bad apples have done some really stupid things, white players need their “own league”?  This is laughable.  Especially when I go to the gym and see the white boys with their Jordans on, decked out in Nike playing anything but “fundamental basketball.”   But hey, I say let these fools have their league.  Anyone foolish enough to play in it needs to be separated from society to begin with.  If they’re willing to do it to themselves, then by all means…let them.

ROME (Reuters) – A nativity scene featuring a dark-skinned Jesus, Mary and Joseph that has gone on display in a Verona courthouse has created heated debate in a city with strong links to Italy’s anti-immigration Northern League party.

The nativity’s appearance coincides with the League’s controversial operation “White Christmas,” a two-month sweep ending on Christmas Day to ferret out foreigners without proper permits in Coccaglio, a small League-led town east of Milan.

The Christmas scene — featuring a dark-skinned baby Jesus dressed in a red shirt and lying in a manger — was the idea of Mario Giulio Schinaia, the chief Public Prosecutor in Verona.

“History teaches us that baby Jesus and his parents were very probably dark-skinned,” Schinaia told Reuters. “This nativity belongs to a universal Christmas tradition that brings together the whole of Christianity in celebration.”

The nativity has caused heated reactions in the rich northern town, where resentment toward foreigners has spread as the number of immigrants, particularly from north Africa and eastern Europe, continues to rise. (Source)

Ah.  The sweet smell of unfettered racism.  I always love seeing racism in other parts of the world because here people try to hide it and it makes it exhausting to play the “You know that was racist” game.  It’s as if racist here in America ate from the Tree of Knowledge and became self aware of their racism and now are ashamed to show and express their true nature and feelings.  Europe however, racists just sit there and say “What?  What we do?”  I particularly like this part:

“It is a useless act of provocation, just like the suggestion not to have a nativity scene at all, in order not to offend Muslims,” Northern League farm minister Luca Zaia told one paper, referring to proposals in recent years that town halls and stores should no longer sponsor Christmas scenes.

Ahh, the rich white folk are all pissed off that their image of Jesus is being tampered with.  See, when there’s a black Jesus that’s a “useless act of provocation”…unlike say, having a white Jesus plastered all over everything for generations and generations.  Seriously.  One nativity scene at one courthouse and these mofos are upset?  Hey, the prosecutor was right.  Jesus wasn’t white.  I mean geography and history proves that.  But really, who cares?  Like I said….its ONE nativity scene.

Kriss & Dylan are in the studio with special guest “The Black Becky”. The show starts off grimy off the top. From having sex with old men to women on women to discussions about how to save face as a jumpoff. We then go to politics and whether or not racism is the real problem. Also, Kriss points out some interesting facts about some of the loudest voices on the conservative side. The show ends with a story about some really stupid mental health officials in Washington State.

Kriss and Nola Darling are in the studio. We talk about the VMAs and the complete fuckery that went on. From the obvious Kanye West fiasco to Lil Mama to Lady Gaga. We play the President’s response to Kanye West and then talk about how some black people apparently are afraid to criticize other black people for fear of what white people will think. We then talk about President Jimmy Carter’s comments about racism and the anger President Obama faces.

BALTIMORE — Three white men shouting racial slurs beat a 76-year-old black man while he was fishing in a river early Tuesday, said Baltimore police, who were investigating the attack as a hate crime.

The assailants also stole the man’s sport-utility vehicle, said Anthony Guglielmi, a police spokesman. Police caught up with the vehicle and arrested 28-year-old Calvin E. Lockner. The other two men eluded capture, Guglielmi said.

The victim was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he was in serious but stable condition, Guglielmi said. The man’s wife was with him during the attack in a park beneath the Francis Scott Key Bridge in a remote corner of south Baltimore. She was not hurt. Police said they were withholding the victim’s name for his protection.

Mayor Sheila Dixon and Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III met with the victim in the hospital.

“I ask the people of Baltimore to pray for the victim and his family,” Dixon said in a statement. “We must all stand together in opposition to violence and racial hatred.”

Late Tuesday, police said Lockner was charged with hate crime, attempted murder, first-degree assault and carjacking. During his interview with detectives, Lockner “admitted he does not like African-American people,” Guglielmi said.

Police said they are seeking the other two men believed to be friends of Lockner. (Source)

I love the post-racial society we live in after the election of President Barack Obama.  If you couldn’t tell, that was sarcasm. Can I just ask what kind of a lowlife bottom feeder does it take to beat up a 76 year old man?  Apparently 3 men…THREE…beat up the victim because he was black and they don’t like black people.  Three men to beat up a 76 year old.  You’re 28 and you feel the need to test your skills against an old man.  What a shame.

I hope the other 2 ass clowns are caught and all three of them get the harshest penalties allowed under the Hate Crimes laws.  Honestly, I wish they could give them the death penalty.  Why?  Because this is what’s going to happen.  These 3 will go to jail where they’ll be surrounded by other racist ass fuckers like themselves.  Jail is like a support system for the criminally incurable.  They won’t be rehabilitated, just become even more ingrained in their hatred.  When they get out, they’ll still hate “niggers” and they’ll be more inclined and more capable of causing even more harm (Due to a Neo Nazi network connection).  Sorry, but I’m all for snuffing these fuckers out.  Else their hatred will just be passed on to the next generation.

I recently got an email from a reader about an interesting topic.  He’s a white guy and his question was how come when a white person makes a joke black people find it inappropriate but if a black person makes the same joke, they find it funny.

I actually think this is the wrong question ask.  See, the answer to that question is very simple.  The reason Black people react differently is because we are overly sensitive to things white people say, especially when it comes to “jokes.”  The real question should be, “Why are we overly sensitive?”  I don’t think anyone has really done a good job explaining it.  Usually when a white person tries to explain it they come off as having “white guilt” and when a black person tries to explain it they simply say “Because of slavery you racist asshole” without really explaining what that means.  The short and simple answer to the question is that white people can’t make those kinds of statements and jokes because black people are extremely distrustful of the context behind what they are saying.  In order to answer this question we need to take care of some history first that, thanks to our shitty public education system, seems to be either not taught or misconstrued.

The first thing we need to address is the fact that Lincoln didn’t free the slaves.  Actually let’s take it a step back further.  The Civil War wasn’t about slavery or freeing slaves.  That is a myth that seems to be taught to young kids in public, private and home schools these days and now these kids grow up really believing the North was fighting “The good fight” of freeing slaves.  This is false.  The making slaves free men wasa useful by product of the Civil War, much like horse byproduct (feces) makes good fertilizer.  The Civil War was about what all wars are about, money.  The North couldn’t afford to have the South break off as its own country (with all the agriculture? Please).Lincoln’s speech which “Freed the slaves” was about healing the country, not giving equal rights to all.  Plus, when they say Lincoln “Freed” the slaves, its not like he went around plantation to plantation saying “Thou Art Free”.  A lot of people, particularly white people, forget that ending 400 years of slavery didn’t mean much back then.  What they neglect to realize is that even though slavery ended, black people still weren’t treated as equal human beings.  From the time Lincoln outlawed slavery to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, black people had to deal with blatant systemic racism (Don’t get it twisted, its still going on, just round the clock blatant).  Jim Crow laws where enacted from 1876 to 1965.  From using ridiculous grandfather clauses and violent intimidation to keep blacks from voting, to segregating schools, buses and lunch counters, black people were still not treated as equals after the Emancipation Proclamation.  I need to reiterate that these egregious acts of racism not only were accepted by society as a whole, but that they occurred in relatively recent memory.  Not only were these just tough emotionally…but people where killed simply because they wanted equal rights.  These are things that happened IN OUR LIFETIME.  I love hearing white people say things like “But my family didn’t own slaves.”  Okay, but you and your family benefited, whether you agreed with it or not, from rules and laws that severely limited what blacks were allowed to do.  We have family members we can still talk to that will tell us what it was like to have to sit at the back of the bus, drink from the colored water fountain and what it was like being “separate but equal.”  See, what white people see as an ugly scar that happened “a long time ago”, we black people see as a fresh wound.

In addition to that history, it’s also the dismissal of that history by white people that makes blacks so sensitive.  Just think about the different ways people react to Jewish people taking offense to something as opposed to a black person.  No one tells a Jewish person to “Get over” the Holocaust.  But when a black person says something is crossing the line, we’re told that “slavery happened a long time ago. Get over it.”  Never mind the fact that the Holocaust occurred in the 1940’s and in 1960 black people were still sipping from different water fountains.

There’s also one other factor I want to throw in real quick and that’s the “Denial Syndrome”.  This is when a white person does something bigoted or racist and instead of apologizing for it, they act like they can’t possibly see why people are offended.  This adds to the distrust of the context of a white person’s joke.  In our mind we’re thinking “Are they just telling a joke or are they mocking us.”  Take the instance where those teens in Louisiana mocked the Jena 6 incident by covering themselves in mud and shouting “niggers put the noose on.”  Yeah, instead of just apologizing for racist behavior, they tried to claim they were just “joking.”  Then there are cases like the Don Imus case.  On face the Don Imus comments could be seen as just a joke from shock jock.  But when you dig a little and see that his producer has made racists comments before, as a black person, you then have to question the context behind the “joke.” And no…just because a black person makes a stupid, retarded joke or comment, it doesn’t make it okay for you to do it too. We’re adults. The “But they did it too excuse” doesn’t work.

So that is why the same joke told by a black person is found funny by blacks and is viewed as crossing the line if told by a white person.  There are ways to make racial jokes and not be labeled a bigot.  I say all the time “White people can’t use the word nigga.”  But I’ve been in the audience of a comedy show before, heard a white guy use the word…and laughed my ass off.  Why?  Because he was able to do so in a context that made it clear there was no malicious attempt (Warning:  Using the “N-Word” as a white person can be very detrimental to your health and is not recommended.  Use at your own risk).  Also, it’s very hard to read context, particularly online.  So yes, when the white Mayor of a California town sends out an email to a black person with a watermelon patch in the White House front lawn, it sets off an alarm in our brain.  Think of it this way.  You have a little brother or sister and growing up you might have teased them endlessly, beat them up and generally been an ass to them.  But if someone else decided to do the same thing you did, you would defend your brother/sister with your life.  Its the same way with racial/cultural jokes.

More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason.

“I heard this lady, she was like, ‘Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?’ She’s like, ‘I’m scared they might do something to my child,’” said camper Dymire Baylor.

The Creative Steps Day Camp paid more than $1900 to The Valley Swim Club. The Valley Swim Club is a private club that advertises open membership. But the campers’ first visit to the pool suggested otherwise.

“When the minority children got in the pool all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool,” Horace Gibson, parent of a day camp child, wrote in an email. “The pool attendants came and told the black children that they did not allow minorities in the club and needed the children to leave immediately.”

The next day the club told the camp director that the camp’s membership was being suspended and their money would be refunded.

“I said, ‘The parents don’t want the refund. They want a place for their children to swim,’” camp director Aetha Wright said.

Campers remain unsure why they’re no longer welcome.

“They just kicked us out. And we were about to go. Had our swim things and everything,” said camper Simer Burwell.

The explanation they got was either dishearteningly honest or poorly worded.

“There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club,” John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.

While the parents await an apology, the camp is scrambling to find a new place for the kids to beat the summer heat. (Source)

You want to be a racist son of a bitch to me…cool.  You want to tell me that you don’t allow us “darkies” into your pool, “dirting” up your pristine water…fine.  I can take that, I’m an adult.  I’ve reached the point where racist fucktards don’t really bother me personally anymore.  I see them for the ignorant ass twits they are.  But leave the kids out of it.  There’s no reason for the younger generation to be raised on the same hate and ignorance that you have.

There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club,” John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.

I’m actually amazed that they were this bold. Usually racist ass individuals like this are too cowardly to be this damn bold with their racism.  But to actually send a statement that says you thought the children would change the “complexion” of the club?   Being black isn’t contagious.  Your kids wouldn’t contract reverse vitiligo and suddenly get darker after sharing a pool with some black kids.  WTF.  Are we living in 2009 or 1909?

And to those that say the inevitable: “It’s a private club, they can do what they want.”  That is true.  They are private so they can do whatever the hell they want.  But that also means that I can tell everyone that listens that they are racist as fuck.

Okay, seriously.  It’s 2009.  The excuse “Oh I didn’t know that was offensive to [insert minority group]” is no longer acceptable.  It never was acceptable to begin with but especially now.  If the Mayor didn’t know it was offensive to black people, why was he so amused with it to send it out?  If black people weren’t associated with watermeleon in an offensive way, this picture wouldn’t have caught his eye and he wouldn’t have sent it out.  I’m tired of this.  Barack Obama is President…end of story.  If you don’t like it…tough shit.

Let’s take another look at this NY Post thingy…

Never did I think that a drawing about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (that’s the ACTUAL name of the stimulus package; NOT Stimulus Package 2009.  I’m willing to bet money that 75% of those “protesting” outside the NY Post offices couldn’t name the actual name of the stimulus package if their lives depended on it).

For the record, I am not a big NY Post supporter, quite frankly I think anything owned by Rupert Murdoch and or managed by NewsCorp (ie: Faux News, oops I mean Fox News) is down right retarded and FAR from being “fair and balanced”.  I’ve been listening to all these stories about banning the NY Post and telling people how racist they are (because of the infamous monkey being shot picture).  So Driving home from work I was listening to Michael Baisden on the radio (tells you how old my ass is if I’m listening to the “grown folks music”).  Basically he and George Wallace were talking about how racist and ignorant the picture was etc…

I actually got fired up listening to it.  Then I went home and actually looked at the picture, surprisingly I laughed (because I realized that Baisden was getting people fired up so that they can call his show and cry out “RACISM” and that there was no blatant racist message that Baisden was trying to show; I mean come on dude has a show to run and gotta pay his bills).  I even thought it was clever.  Clever for two reasons:

#1.  The stimulus package was not written by President Obama, it was written by House Democrats, sponsored by Representative David Obey, a white Democrat from Wisconsin.  So the racial references do not apply… and no….it is NOT Obama’s stimulus package, President Obama just signs it into law, once again he didn’t write it…So the monkey that’s been shot down in the photo is not supposed to portray him.

#2.  The stimulus package is poorly written and has some extremely vague regulations for certain things and has some extremely stringent regulations for other projects.  To be totally honest a monkey probably could’ve done a better job taking into consideration all aspects of each project.  My job is actually “benefitting” (if that’s what you can call it) from this package.  There is about 8.7 billion dollars of money going into the National Institutes of Health (NIH; we sometimes contract with) BUT it has to be spent in 2 years.  If you’re in the scientific field you already know that there are virtually NO research projects that are completed in 2 years; hell project approval alone takes like 9-12 months…  So the American taxpayer could’ve saved 8.7 Billion dollars if this was further reviewed taking everything into consideration rather than just tossing money to it.  I mean if the regulation was that the money would have to be spent in 5 years or better yet 10 years it would’ve been more beneficial and WOULD have created more jobs.  Like forreal what you gonna do? hire someone to sit around waiting for project approval for 9-12 months and then fire them a year after the project starts cause the money cant be used anymore??  There are many other projects in the bill that have stipulations just like this one.  Senator Lindsey Graham R-SC, said it best “THIS BILL STINKS….”

I then thought to myself where was all the uproar when:
-GWBush was depicted as a monkey; or the pictures of him being hung from a tree (for the record I am NOT a supporter of this man, NOR did I ever vote for him in either election), or

-When Colin Powell was depicted as a “two-faced ‘Oreo’”, or when he was drawn next to Donald Rumsfeld being called a “BOY” or

-When Condoleeza Rice was depicted as an idiot bending over for the “whiteman”,

-When Ken Blackwell was depicted as the Mr Peanut cartoon and was “chuckin” and “jiving” for the “man” (again for the Record I think this man is a douchebag and I am NOT a supporter of him)

-When Michael Steele was depicted in “blackface” with white gloves, or better yet where was the uproar when supporters for Kathleen Kennedy –Townsend THREW Oreo cookies at him during a Senatorial rally???

Political pictures have always been satirical.   They’re NOT your Sunday newspaper Garfield cartoon, which take little to NO effort to get a few laughs out of.  They require THOUGHT and ANALYSIS.  That’s how they’ve always been…so why is it all of a sudden it’s WRONG because of what you might THINK the author is portraying?!?!  Unless you really sit down and review the references in each political cartoon you either WILL NOT get it OR you will THINK it’s talking about something completely unrelated.

My point is that the racial sensitivity is soooooooo one sided now to the point where white people (or even anyone) cant say anything about black people without being labeled as a racist.

-For example, on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim (the only white housewife) said “I dont want to go eat chicken with NeNe….” and was labeled a racist…..WHEN THE FUCK DID CHICKEN BECOME FOOD FOR BLACK PEOPLE AND BLACK PEOPLE ONLY?!?!??!  COME ON PEOPLE, GET THE FUCK OFF YOUR SOAPBOX AND STOP TRYING TO RIP APART WHAT ANYONE SAYS AND/OR DOES TO SEE IF THEY MIGHT BE A RACIST… Get a job, get a life and move on with it…

Oh and for all those who will read this and say “he’ll never know what it’s like to be black in this country…”  I’ve been to CHURCHES where people refused to shake my hand during the peace offering, I’ve been to a waffle house in Deltona Florida where I was stared at by an elderly couple one of which said “what is he??” and “they’re just everywhere now…”, I’ve had a job at a leasing office where an applicant for an apartment (who was black) said TO MY FACE “damn I’m tripping off the fact you don’t have an accent….”

NEWSFLASH, everyone experiences it in their lifetime, that doesn’t mean you get to sit on your pedestal and victimize yourself more than the next person…oh and just to let you know, MY grandfather who worked as an attorney travelling back and forth from the Philippines to Los Angeles ALSO drank from the COLORED water fountains, sat at the back of the bus, and entered the diners from the side doors…You don’t see me using that shit as a crutch in everyday life…
