Katie at Townhall White-Splains It All to You People

by | 152 Comments

This post is in: , , , ,

Thers at Whiskey Fire introduces readers to a typing cream cheese sculpture over at Townhall: Columnist Katie Kieffer (a name which is surely the “Shaniqua Washington” of my tribe) presents three “brilliant black leaders” who are a credit to their race and hopes that “the black community starts listening to brilliant black leaders who can and will help them succeed.”

From one cream cheese sculpture to another, please shut up, Katie. You’re embarrassing us!

    Katie is super-cute. That’s the last nice thing I’ll say about her.

    She thinks:

    1. Giving black people more guns is a great idea. That probably won’t fly with most of her racist conservative fellow travelers.

    2. Dismantle Medicaid.

    3. something something socialism

    This seems more like a program for eliminating the black population, not making their lives better. But then again, I’m pretty sure that’s the conservative agenda anyhow.

    So I wonder if Ms. Katie. K. Kieffer has ever bothered to ask any of her black friends or acquaintances (assuming for sake of arguments that she actually has any) exactly why it is they might prefer President Obama’s “leadership” to that of Mr. Harry Alford, “the CEO and co-founder of the Black Chamber of Commerce.”? Maybe some simple factors like:

    1. Mr. Obama is President of United States, and Mr. Alford isn’t?
    2. No one (Black or White) knows WTF the “Black Chamber of Commerce” is (or could care less)?
    3. Black people can actually read and think for themselves, and dismiss characterizations of Barack Obama as “an anti-business tyrant” for the nonsense they are?

    Or are these concepts too subtle for Ms. Kieffer to grasp?

Amie’s previous costumes include the Sexy Acorn (to draw attention to ACORN’s child sex scandal) and the Hot Teapot (to laud the everyday Americans fighting for Constitutional principles within the Tea Party movement).

    From the black chamber of comerce website

    Under the Clinton Administration the environmentalists started an outrageous claim. They accused corporate America of seeking Black communities to dump their waste, poison the water and render the land toxic. They summed it up by calling the mythical activity “Environmental Racism” and persuaded (funded) local civil rights groups to join in the fight and demand “Environmental Justice”. This died down after about ten years.

    As Mandalay refers, Ms. Kieffer is a fierce opponent of domestic drones (particularly concerned about ranchers in this regard).

    Her wide-ranging intellect is evidenced by her list of favorite books (“Katie Recommends” at her website) which includes Ayn (natch!), St. Augustine’s Confessions, Civil Disobedience by Thoreau and Trump Card by Ivanka Trump.

Mentioning ‘freedom of speech’ and ‘culture and morals’ as among her reasons to homeschool is akin to Atwater’s use of taxes and busing to replace direct references to ‘nigger’. To paraphrase Atwater:

    They start out saying vouchers for homeschool because jebus jebus jebus. Soon that hurts them. Backfires. So they say stuff like vouchers for homeschool because freedom of speech, culture and morals, and all that stuff. And the byproduct is, gubmint still pays for jebus. It’s abstract, it’s coded. It’s doing away with the religion problem. Because sitting around saying ‘we want to homeschool because 1st amendment’ is a hell of a lot more abstract than saying ‘jebus jebus jebus’.

    @Omnes Omnibus:

    BTW, it’s K.T. Kieffer.

    Yeah, I saw that on her photo. Dunno why, but I would have expected the “i’s” to be dotted with little hearts – or smiley-faces….

    I’m afraid the premise of this post is all wrong.

    “Scout McManus-Feldman” is the white version of ‘Shannika Washington’.

    Think about it: This person could be male, female or none-of-the-above, Jewish, Christian or pagan, tall, short, fat, skinny, whatevs…but you KNOW s/he is white. Just off the name.

    I wanted to name our (not white at all) kid Scout, and my wife cut me off with, ‘She will never in her life be able to write a check without photo ID.’

    @ArchPundit: I think I have it figured out. She wants to replace Malkin once her eyes permanently roll back and she’s no good on TV anymore.

    @? Martin: I realized I was over-reacting and went back to add that last comment. Mine is also the personification of perky but she, like yours, is not clueless and insensitive.

    I have always welcomed the feedback of white people to encourage me to being the best black person I can be. Just as I enjoy the criticism by males to improve my femininity.

    At times I have no idea why I am not a mass murderer.

    @Phoenix_rising: McManus-Feldman? I can’t see that marriage producing a “Scout,” sorry. “Feldman” isn’t a WASPy enough name for that sort of thing. A person with a last name like that’s gonna wind up with a first name straight out of the Bible. Solid. Traditional. Not going to offend the relatives on either side of the family.

    I was raised by hardcore self-identified WASPs (and I’m still working to undo the damage), and those racist pieces of human toilet paper would say, “Since when are Those People (IYKWIMAIKYD) white?”
