Yo! Ann Althouse! Are you a retired law professor, or some Fox News zombie?

 Let me directly quote the insanely idiotic shit she posted today about the legal philosophy camps, I am a decades old member of.  The Vance in question is that skank a slore running for senate, who was recently called out in the press for  . . . . deliberately, with intent to mislead and deceive, coming fucking close to accusing P. Biden of deliberately getting trailer trash hooked on fentanyl.  His quote:

"It does look intentional. It’s like Joe Biden wants to punish the people who didn’t vote for him and opening up the floodgates to the border is one way to do it." 

Her fentanyl addict-esqe defense of him: 

"Vance's reason is the same kind of reasoning that Critical Race Theory analysts and radical feminists use to find systemic racism and sexism. You hypothesize that those in power achieve nefarious goals by adopting policies that are superficially neutral but have a disparate impact that is intentional. That's something else you learn at Yale Law School."

No. No.  Fuck no, ex professor of Constitutional Law.  Let me school you, woman!

Critical Legal Studies, at the most simple, nutshell level says . . . 

"Our government was formed by rich, powerful men, to favor them and people like them.

Critical Race Theory at the basic level adds, "And they were all white."

And the feminists say, "Did you miss the part they were all men?"

All are really less academic legal theories (at core) than they are rational observations of Sociology, particularly in group vs out group biases and preferences.    Yes, there is more to it.  But at their core they are saying . . . .  you set the car seat and the mirrors settings, to favor your legs and height and preference, not other people.

I am not gong to call her a dummy, but . . . ?  

I actually heard a law professor say that in class to a student, the one time.  Hilarious.  My best moment in class with him was the time he gave me only half a star for my answer. Shit. I became a star for that.  Volunteering for judgement,  and getting half a star?  I built  a reputation for being fearless!  But I digress.

I agree with Prof. Dyson. The Current Anti Racism Movement Naturally Aims

to confront white people about their whiteness.  And the opposition to that includes, among other things, the bizarre hypocrisy of white supremacist denying all that shit, while deliberately and obviously working to preserve and protect white supremacy.

So the Rogan and Peterson minstrel show is further evidence of white supremacists trying to control the narrative.  I hate using that phrase.  But the story of white supremacy in America has always partly been about controlling the narrative. And that shit is weakened whenever Black and brown folk get to define ourselves.

Anti-Critical Race Theory Politician Maud Maron Explains Her Position - ...

"Stop trying to propagandize children  to tell them that  the only way to look at their peers is through the lens of race."  --  Anti CRT white lady lawyer, who should have at least known better than to set herself up to be sandbagged in such an embarrassing self owned way.

"We did not invent that lens of race, though"  --  The Black guys.

Funny how it just gets clearer and clearer, it is still mostly about white supremacy in America.

Sometimes Shit Is This Basic and Easy, People!

 "As American policies on CRT education in schools shows, the problem has become showing how racism operates instead of racism itself. Mainstream society becomes fearful that people will be able to articulate the ways in which systemic discrimination operates and as a result demand that we do better." 

Critical race theory: ‘Diversity’ is not the solution, dismantling white supremacy is


Or, as I just said myself on my FB wall:

"I agree with Ibram X. Kendi, mainly because I had the same thought 40 years ago, and it was not a new idea back then, that in the end it will take a societal commitment to embrace anti racism in order to really complete the dismantling of the white supremacism state. (And if you don't agree you clearly do not know shit about the subject. So shut up!)"

 I should not be surprised at the backlash, at the timing of the white supremacist racist Republican hordes, to fight and die now, on this hill.  I saw it coming.  I did not really expect that "CRT" would be the way they describe the fight.  And I suspect if there is a real race war in America it is going to get real bad real fast for black and brown folk (never mind the result in the Georgia lynching case.)  And I need to have an escape plan.

I have long known the demographic shift was going to anger a lot of poor whites.  I really did not think this badly  (and likely to get worse.)  However, I have marched myself, the path of Pickett's charge.  And when I did, I have to at least acknowledge the dedication of those poor white who marched through long range artillery, then short range artillery, then rifle fire from fairly well shielded positions, getting slaughtered over some vague notion about "they raights."

I really am not anticipating a second civil war on a grand scale.  But we already live in America!  Land of Mass Shootings and Mass Murder!  And that shit can get worse, and I mean more common, fucking quickly.
 

You Don't Need a PhD in Something, to Understand This Anti CRT/Wokeness Bullshit

 

White people who think they are special because of whiteness knows that is a crock of shit.  But that is how America was founded.  On top of a big, fat racist lie.  That is the real origin story, Not the myth.  

And they are frightened about the prospect of the the remaining social status enhancement of being white in America, to be forever revoked.

Sometimes shit is really that simple.  Don't pay attention to what people say.  Just apply Occam's Razor, and the answer will be apparent.  Lots of people will hold on to ill gotten gains  and undeserved property with all the tenacity of people who have earned, it, busted their asses for it.  And even bled for it.  Think of all the fiction based on gangsters and crooks.  Then think of what we really know  about rea gangsters and crooks.  Yeah.  People really are that basic, and selfish, and greedy.

Pseudo Intellectuals, Gaslighters, and Other Common Toxic Scum.

 So I caught some of Andrew Sullivan's "60 Minutes," piece. I stand by my general opinion of him.  He is the most over educated moron I know of.  Even if he likely isn't.  Short version of it is he, like so many conservatives/republicans, believe in a mythology.  Well several, actually.  But they overlap like some Venn diagram of mental disease, disorder, dysfunction, and delusion.  

Lately, Sully has been getting press for being part of the anti 1619/CRT/Black people/factual and objective reality crew.  And I think he is part of the anti cancel culture crew too.  Like I said, Venn diagram.  Let me take another look at his "creds."  How can a bitch earn a PhD in Government at Harvard, and pretend to deny that the American nation was created by a group of wealthy elites who above all else, established a government to protect their wealthy elite class and interests?  And further and relatedly, that the legal system, not only is a system, but one that was designed to protect their wealthy elite class and interests?  And that given that the fledgling nation's total economy was greatly dependent on race based slavery, and required an invention of this thing called whiteness, in order to make the whole terrible thing work? Harvard should rescind his degrees.  It is one thing to graduate Harvard and join up with the forces of evil.  And by that I mean conservatives/republicans.  But it is another thing to run around saying shit that clearly ain't true, and furthermore clearly is in opposition to the core facts of his degree subjects and disciplines.  So fuck him.  Pseudo intellectual.

Next on the shade list is the NY Post's Miranda Divine.  Yesterday, or recently at least, she argued that Joy Reid is both a racist and sociopath for not believing murder boy Rittenhouse's teary performance was anything more than a performance.  And by extension, every white person also not convinced of his sincerity is a sociopath.  According to her.  Listen up lady.  Not having any sympathy for one specific person is not within the definition of sociopathy.  And every time a not white person references that a white person is white is not within the definition of racism!  Gaslighter!

And for other common toxic scum, let's mention dirtbag, traitor, convicted but pardoned con man, Steve Bannon. Throwing a fit outside of the court house after your first appearance on your brand new Federal crimes was not a good idea.  If you had a better lawyer, he would have told you to stifle it.  But that scumbag was spewing such bullshit himself that it is clear that being prudent was not his game plan, either.  Toxic scum!

Slavery Isn't the Original Sin. Whiteness is.

 

Slavery is older than dirt.  But the cynical version of it practiced in the new world was something new.  It became about the lie of racial superiority of white people.

And even if we got rid of legal slavery, and the idea of institutional racism as a structure most white people believe in? There are still tens of millions of white people who cherish and value their whiteness as one of their most prized possession.  It is viewed as a birthright.  It is an identity.  It is a real or imagined status.  And that last part is what the fuss and the fight is over.  Not fucking 'wokeness.'  And not 'cancel culture.'  And not CRT.  The devils among us are not trying to defeat an academic movement.  They are trying to preserve an unearned and baseless status of racial superiority.  You fucking morons.

Speaking of fucking morons.  The people out there spewing nonsense like claiming that opposition to white on not white racism is going to lead to white identity politics?  Negroes please!  The motherfucking nation was founded as a white identity nation.  Don't you know anything about the national history?

Fuck Each and Every Last of You White Supramacy Enabling Anti Anti Racist Motherfuckers, Part Deux!

 A new Monmouth University poll looked into questions surrounding race and education in the U.S. and found that while a vast majority of Americans approve of teaching “the history of racism” in public schools (75 percent), only a slim majority of self-identified Republicans do (54 percent).

White Fragility.

I am linking that part, but expect to just rip the rest.  I heard somewhere that specifically there was more excitement over CRT in VA school districts where there has been more of an increase in  not white students, recently.  So, White Fragility.

At this one website where they have a sub domain to track CRT, I recently noticed  the phrase "Forms of CRT."  I guess that is acknowledgement of their bullshit.  But wait.  There's more.  Here is a quote by the racist motherfucker who runs the site: 

" The principles of CRT, primarily the focus on race and skin color as the decisive and pervasive features of society, increasingly pervade K-12,” Jacobson said…."

More White Fragility.  No, you dirtbag, wanna be white supremacist. CRT is not some "thing" that is meant to focus on race and skin color.  You either insanely idiotically, or deliberately dishonest fuck.  CRT isn't the phenomenon.  It is the person saying, "You see that shit over there?  That shit over there is that shit over there.  Look at that shit." 

It is not the thing itself.  It is people looking at the shit that is there already, and calling it out for the racist bullshit it plainly, already is.

But I could go longer and longer.  But I got shit to do.  But like I heard Attorney Chang say last night during the Derrick Bell lecture.  Yes.  Derrick Bell's original writings on the permanence of racism in America presents  a dark (pun not intended) view.  But there is room for hope.  

And back to my own output.  It is disturbingly funny how some of the very people who devote large amounts of time to disprove CRT  actually just prove that Professor Bell got it right. Fuck people's guns. These bitches intend to die bitterly clinging to their real or in the case of white boy wannabes, imagined white privilege.  They are not giving up!  No way, no how!

Fuck Each and Every Last of You White Supramacy Enabling Anti Anti Racist Motherfuckers!

 

CRT. It ain't just about talking about black and brown folk getting screwed.

Today's Derrick Bell lecture was presented by a Korean born lawyer, who works for a civil rights center named for a born American, who was the famous named plaintiff in the famous Japanese detention case.

Racism is a function, directly, of the idea of whiteness, and the status associated with being white.  Anyone who doesn't get that, or denies it has no standing to even discuss such matters further.  

The Problem with Critical Race Theory w/ Charisse Burden-Stelly. (It's Not What the Critics Say.)

Spoiler alert.

My favorite part is when Charisse Burden-Stelly dismisses the CRT critics as:

allowed to remain ignorant as fuck.

For the record, she says that after a perfectly reasonable, and intelligent discussion of the issues.

But her salty dismissal is to my mind the sauce on the meat.  Adds flavor!

Sometimes Institutional Racism Is This Subtle.

 The hair thing.  Why are not white people pressured  to make their hair look like white boy's and girl's hair?

Because white on not white racism.

White Pickaninny

 It has been some time, since I was a trend setter;  ahead of the curve.  Like four weeks, maybe?  

Anyway, I propose we dump the word "Karen," at least for the trashy, right wing, entitled skanks  who are at least racist adjacent, if not flaming racist, and instead call them, "White Pickaninnies."

I like this, and think it is fitting for several reasons.  Firstly, because I love the idea of taking a racist slur whites have used against blacks, and repurposing it against white racists. And secondly, because the term pickaninny historically brings to mind an exaggerated image.  As originally employed, in some instances, as there is a difference when young black children were called pickaninnies, as opposed to the caricatures found in print and other media, white racist Karens are actual living, breathing caricatures.  They are grotesques of their own making and choosing.  

I have been thinking about this topic, racist Karens, as I am feeling the weight of 21st Century Denialist Racism.  All them bitches who deny America is still racist?  All them bitches still fighting against CRT and 1619 Project, and who basically want to preserve white supremacy?  Fuck them!  Particularly fuck the ones in denial of their own flaming racist thoughts, beliefs, and words.  

I know enough about Psychology to know that people can be really good at denial.  But I am fucking sick of it.  I am fucking sick of being a Black/Brown in America, and being expected to treat, if only slightly, watered down racism as if it were a mere different POV.

I am so sick of that shit!

Anyway.  Some famous racist Republican died today.  Fuck him too.

If you ain't black or brown

 

I am not going to name names.  I will not link to any particular infraction.

But if you ain't black or brown.  And as well, if you don't at least have credentials as an expert in race issues that most black or brown experts would and already have said, "He/she is ok.  They with us."

Just fucking say no to even talking about anything having to do with human blackness, or brownness.

First and foremost, we black and brown folk don't need to hear your bullshit.  It likely is going to be racist bullshit anyway.  You are likely to make shit worse by adding your unwanted comments to the discussion.

And here is the part you should worry about.  Particularly if the act, event, or default that has caused you to have a desire to talk about anything having to do with human blackness, or brownness is yet another story about how some dumb assed, ignorant white person got "cancelled" for talking about anything having to do with human blackness, or brownness.  What the fuck is wrong with you?  Are you waiting for a personalized cease and desist latter?  For fuck's sake, take the obvious lesson, and stop talking about anything having to do with human blackness, or brownness.

It is not an act of bravery to talk about anything having to do with human blackness, or brownness, when you are neither, and likely have no fucking idea what the motherfuck you are talking about.  It is an act of deliberate ignorance!  Even if you quote some right leaning black person who says things you agree about?  You are still you.  You should not talk about anything having to do with human blackness, or brownness.  Because you are white, and ignorant about shit like that.  And you are likely to say something racist yourself, particularly if you are quoting, either directly or even worse, indirectly some right leaning black person who says things you agree about.  Because you don't know what they are talking about, even if you agree with it.  Because every fucking right leaning black person who says things you agree about,  is pursuing their own agenda.  Not fucking yours.  Theirs.  It might be personal, academic, social, or political.  And likely is some combination of all.  And the percents of the components might shift day to day, hour to hour.  It is that person's life.  Fucking leave them to it!  Stop being so entitled and selfish!

I could go all day, or at least till my fingers hurt really badly, on this topic.  But I am looking for the door here.  So last thoughts.  If you run a blog.  And your blog comment section tends to drift to resembling a hive of racist scum and villainy, then you really really should just fucking say no to blogging about anything having to do with human blackness, or brownness.  Because you are not only likely to say something racist yourself, out of your white ignorance and recklessness.  But your doing so will encourage your scumbag racist commenters to say shit that is even more racist than the shit you said.  And then you are going to have to draw some virtually imaginary line for what is or is not tolerated.  (Because most white racists don't really get that they are racists.  But that fucking asshole who just said something you would never get caught saying?  They are the racists.  Not you.  Never you.) And in doing so, not just that confusing if not hypocritical flare up, but in daring to go down that path and getting stuck to several tar babies in the process (I can say that.  Not only am I black/brown, but I qualify for citizenship from a West African nation.)  You have proven the truth of my guidance:

Just fucking say no to even talking about anything having to do with human blackness, or brownness.

But are you smart enough to learn the lesson? As you are still trying to get the tar out of your blonde hair?
