Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

I really should read my own blog.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Hey White America, Stop Killing One Another

This post is in: 

Folks seem to love to cite the “epidemic” that is black on black crime. But maybe it’s time White Americans take a look in the mirror:

The disturbing truth, according to the FBI’s most recent homicide statistics, is that the United States is in the wake of an epidemic of white-on-white crime. Back in 2011, the most recent year for which data is available, a staggering 83 percent of white murder victims were killed by fellow Caucasians.

And we’re not even talking about just crime here, this is straight up murder. This should be an interesting talking point for Obama to mention, don’t you think? Team Blackness also discussed cops’ inability to deal with mental illness, a black man who apparently shot himself in the chest while his hands were cuffed behind his back, and Michael Sam’s NFL showering habits.

    People most often kill those they know, and in America, we tend to racially segregate ourselves.

    It’s amazing how white conservatives only care about black-on-black violence when everyone else wants to talk about cop-on-black violence,

    Any other time, they don’t seem to give a damn.

    My Caucasoid brethern are directed to hand over all your weaponry to me, and I’ll take good care of them. M’kay?

    Wait, I’d need a house the size of Cincinnati. Never mind.

    On the plus side you could melt them into a really good bridge, of which we’re in great need.

    White community leaders need to stand up and condemn the outrageous levels of violence and crime in the white community.

    This trend will only grow as American continues on it’s path of re-segregation.

    Violence is a common part of the human condition and is not owned by any racial group.

    @Keith G:

    I hope you’re going over to Red State and other conservative sites to remind them of that, because they sure seem convinced that black people are the only violent ones and that’s why Michael Brown’s killing was completely justified.

    Of course, you already knew that and were just playing your contrarian schtick again.

    It’s all that damn country “music” they all listen to that glorifies drinking and fighting and cheating and whatnot.

    @Mnemosyne: If I went to RS, I fear I would need to boil my computer to kill the cooties. I don’t see why emphasizing a simple fact is contrarianism, but if you say so then I guess it is.

    @Keith G:

    I’m doing you the courtesy of assuming you’re being a contrarian rather than being so out-of-touch that you’ve never heard the claim that the problem is that black people are naturally more violent than white people. If you really are that out-of-touch, let me Google that for you.

    Too many rural whites of a certain socioeconomic background are steeped in a perverse culture that worships the gun as a means of settling disputes. As many important scholars who happen to be black and have talk shows have diagnosed it, this sad phenomena may be called the Hatfield-McCoy syndrome. But you won’t see race hucksters like Bill Clinton talking about it.

    @Sad_Dem:
    And too many whites look up to role models like Louie Gohmert and Sarah Palin, rather than the good whites who are a credit to their race…

    Interesting tidbit in the linked article:

    To understand the level of cultural pathology at work here, it’s important to understand that 36 percent of those killed by whites are women — a far higher share than you see with black murderers.

    I’m loving these reverse memes that illustrate the utter idiocy of the concern trolling about “black on black” crime.

    Elon, you’re doing yeoman work. Keep it up.
