Chinese Segway Cameraman: I thought blacks guys were faster
Usain Bolt: I thought Chinese guys were smarter.
Chinese Segway Cameraman: All those Africans running into Europe look pretty damn fast.
Usain Bolt: Dumb Europeans can't tell them no.
White Man in Charge: The cultural disease of anti-racism makes them defenseless. These guys were sleeping in mud and thatch huts before they came, if they were not sleeping in the long grass. Now they get a house some white man built. And when they turn that house into a burned out ruin, after the fashion of Detroit, built by whites, burned by blacks, they will complain of racism and systematic discrimination because whites still have nicer stuff than they do, so they need to take more white stuff and wreck it also.
Chinese Segway Cameraman: Blacks are like locusts. They take the stuff that white people built, for example the American inner city, destroy it, and then move on to take something else. They cannot be stopped because the state apparatus forbids white collective self defense, while encouraging black collective rioting, encouraging collective attacks on random isolated whites motivated by black hatred of whites and black sense of collective identity. This raises the cost of housing for white people to unaffordable levels, preventing family formation.
Usain Bolt: Whites move out from their houses because of state sponsored collective black violence, as is happening now in Baltimore and Ferguson, and blacks move in to houses white people built. It's what we do.
Deprogramming a dog who kills Blacks is the ultimate challenge for an unorthodox African-American trainer. When a young Hollywood actress (Kristy McNichol) finds the injured stray, she nurses it back to health, not knowing it's a "White Dog" trained by a racist to attack only Blacks. Julie's appalled when the otherwise gentle, white German Shepherd breaks out, then returns from his nighttime foray dotted with human blood. Julie desperately races from trainer to trainer, advised to kill her pet, until the top Hollywood canine expert refers her to his former protégé, Keys, played by Paul Winfield.
I encountered a real-life version of that "White Dog" movie.
I had a professor who brought her large dog to class (the college's rules were lax). The dog HATED only one type of person: black guys wearing hats. (Though apparently only ones wearing hats.)
One day, a black student joined the class and the normally docile dog suddenly went bananas. It started barking and making like it was going to attack him. He was forced to climb up on the desks to get away from it, with the professor yelling, "Take off your hat!!"
This is not "ha-ha" funny, like the Usain Bolt-cameraman pratfall, so much as it is "the Republican Party is a giant joke" funny:
Chris Christie, trying desperately to turn into a Trump clone, has declared that if elected president, he will track all immigrants in real time like FedEx tracks packages. (I guess he will tattoo each foreigner with a bar code upon entering the country, so they can be scanned by Homeland Security agents with scanner guns, stationed everywhere?)
I didn't think anyone could come up with a dumber immigration reform plan than Trump's, but bravo, Chris Christie, you succeeded.
Chief Windbreaker said... "Dogs hate black people."
I suppose you could say that a dog owned by a white person picks up on their “owner's” inherent racism or fear or something, and reacts to a black person based upon what the dog’s perceives as their owner’s agitation.
But I’ve seen this effect before. Blacks, at least the ones I’ve known are very uncomfortable around dogs. And I think the dog picks up on that.
I can’t say I know much about other ethnicities and dogs, but I can tell you white people are a lot more comfortable around them. Whether that is genetic… hell I don’t know. Seems like everything is genetic around here. Russians are probably genetically selected to play chess or something.
But going back to the dogs, it is a real thing. If you’ve actually spent much time around both your would have observed it.
Be kind of interesting to see if this is cultural, or whether there is something else going on with it. I’d tend to think it is cultural, mainly because I don’t have the slightest idea of what else it could be.
"I suppose you could say that a dog owned by a white person picks up on their “owner's” inherent racism or fear or something, and reacts to a black person based upon what the dog’s perceives as their owner’s agitation."
In the case of my professor's dog's racism and hatred for hats, I am thinking it was probably a result of the dog's prior owner (before the professor) being a black man who regularly wore hats and habitually abused the dog. But that's just a wild-ass guess. No way to really know.
"I can’t say I know much about other ethnicities and dogs, but I can tell you white people are a lot more comfortable around them. Whether that is genetic… hell I don’t know. Seems like everything is genetic around here. Russians are probably genetically selected to play chess or something.
I think this is an economic thing, honestly. I think white people are more comfortable around dogs only because they are more likely to own dogs or to have grown up with them. Think about it: White people are statistically wealthier and more likely to have a home large enough to be suitable for a dog. A lot of black folks live in rented apartments too small for a dog or in which dogs are forbidden by their landlords (to prevent property damage hassles).
White people aren't born liking dogs and black people born not liking them.
I will admit, however, that some American white people have taken their love for canines to preposterous extremes. If you find yourself dressing your dog up in outfits and taking it for "spa days," you have officially gone too far.
Wow, someone wrote a whole article on the weird subject of dog racism we were discussing here. Who knew? It covers a lot of the same stuff we already mentioned:
*Dogs pick up on their owners' reactions and if an owner regards black people as a threat, so may the dog.
*If a black owner abuses his dog, it may hate all black people forever. (Also applies to any other race of owner, obviously.)
*Black people are less likely to own dogs and therefore more likely to act uncomfortable around them -- which will then induce the dogs to behave more aggressively.
On the 17 July 1912 in Stockholm, Sweden, following the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in the Swedish capital, the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) was founded as the world governing body for the sport of track and field athletics.
So you're actually going with the Segway guy as some kind of pawn in a sinister global conspiracy theory to "take out" Usain Bolt? For real, and not as a joke?
I'm sure your theory is fascinating and makes about as much sense as this guy:
I swear to God, this xenophobic one-upmanship in the GOP cannot get much more ridiculous. It's like some kind of farcical satire of politics. Next, Ted Cruz will be demanding we move the entire United States to Mars -- as that it's the only sure-fire way to keep scary foreign people from sneaking across our borders!

Inside the Most Expensive Nuclear Bomb Ever Made Could America's latest atomic weapon ignite a new arms race? http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/07/nuclear-weapon-obama-most-expensive-ever
Under a Nobel Peace Prize winning president we are building the most expensive nuclear bomb ever made?
Good thing the media won;t treat Obama like a rethug and make an issue of it.
"Good thing the media won;t treat Obama like a rethug and make an issue of it."
Er, Mother Jones, to whom you have linked, aren't the media? They aren't making an issue out of it? I'm pretty sure that is exactly what is happening in that article!
You wingnuts spend all this time griping about how Obama gets a pass for stuff from the "liberal media" -- by which you dishonestly mean centrist, mainstream outlets that aren't liberal at all. But actualliberal media, like Mother Jones, take Democratic Party politicians to task all the time, whenever they feel those politicians aren't being liberal enough.
Meanwhile, of course you won't see mainstream media complain about weapons costs. They almost never do that, regardless of which party is in power. They frankly worship the military and don't ever criticize it, unless someone in the military has done something truly heinous.
Bill, you really seem obsessed with ferreting out hypocrisy in politics, yet don't actually seem to understand what hypocrisy is.
Anonymous said... "Good thing the media won;t treat Obama like a rethug and make an issue of it." Er, Mother Jones, to whom you have linked, aren't the media? They aren't making an issue out of it?
Did you see Obama's name mentioned in the article?
The only time Obama was mentioned was that Obama was going to keep his pledge from 2010.
Doesn't sound like he is being called out.
Feel free to quote from the link if you believe otherwise.
Here's a quote I picked...
So far, most of the criticism of B61-12 has focused on its price tag.
Wanna start talking about the hypocrisy of a Nobel Peace Prize president building the most expensive nuclear weapon in history?
Meanwhile, of course you won't see mainstream media complain about weapons costs.
Didn't you just write MotherJones was the media? And their quote was most of the complaints were about the cost? "I'm pretty sure that is exactly what is happening in that article!"
Yes, Bill, that is what I said. Mother Jones, a liberal media outlet, is criticizing Obama (and Congress as well) for spending big money on nukes.
And this is a criticism of Obama from the article:
"In 2010, the Obama administration announced that it would not make any nuclear weapons with new capabilities. The White House and Pentagon insist that the B61-12 won't violate that pledge."
How much more criticism do you expect to see in a story that is only five paragraphs long? It's pretty evident from the gist of the article that the writer thinks this is a piss-poor use of taxpayer money, whatever Obama may have pledged. Do you expect them to call him an evil dictator, lol? Mother Jones isn't Fox News.
Meanwhile, of course you won't see mainstream media complain about weapons costs.
Didn't you just write MotherJones was the media? And their quote was most of the complaints were about the cost? "I'm pretty sure that is exactly what is happening in that article!"
Yes, and Mother Jones is in no way mainstream media. They are explicitly on the left.
Try CNN as an actual mainstream outlet. You will rarely find them criticizing the military in any way. Mostly, they will have endless "celebrating our heroes" stories. Not that there's anything wrong with celebrating veterans, but the military is far from perfect and does deserve criticism.

"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)" ~Philebrity~
"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~
"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet." ~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~
"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."
~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~
"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call the AfroSpear.
Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslave and African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online." ~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~
"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~

The greatest movie ever made.
Deprogramming a dog who kills Blacks is the ultimate challenge for an unorthodox African-American trainer. When a young Hollywood actress (Kristy McNichol) finds the injured stray, she nurses it back to health, not knowing it's a "White Dog" trained by a racist to attack only Blacks. Julie's appalled when the otherwise gentle, white German Shepherd breaks out, then returns from his nighttime foray dotted with human blood. Julie desperately races from trainer to trainer, advised to kill her pet, until the top Hollywood canine expert refers her to his former protégé, Keys, played by Paul Winfield.
All that, and a character played by Burl Ives.
