First off, fuck a girl named Tomi

You a Klansman in a girl's body
Common sense, we can tell you ain't got it
And legal rights, you don't know nothing 'bout it.
Always trying to talking down on the Blacks
Dodging all the evidence and the facts
When you out in public, better watch your back
You gon' run into the wrong bitch and get your ass slapped.
Heard you were selling pussy in Dakota
Central High School, them boys bent you over
Steady running game on ya like a Trojan
Young ass getting crushed like an empty can of soda.
Then the hoe went to college out in Vegas
Fucking all the little football players
After all the games, you were giving favors
Hit her with a touchdown dick, bye, see you later!
Fuck Tomi Lahren and her show, too
You a racist-ass bitch and a hoe, too
Everything you talk about has no truth.
Close your mouth, we don't wanna see no tooth
Little bitch really think she is so cute
But you a clown-ass bitch and a joke, too
Don't let the KKK revoke you
Bitch, that's dumb, like swimming in some snow boots.

I saw this yesterday.

While all these white Trump co-conspirators are getting bonded out, the "Black Voices For Trump" guy is still sitting in jail.

Black conservatives, the MAGA's don't give a fuck about you.

In fact, when Byron Donalds tried to point this out, Jenna Ellis crashed his Tweet with "What about the [White] Lawyers, Byron?"

Yet Republicans still trying to act like all these white people who tried to overthrow the government having mugshots now makes them all Biggie and Tupac or some shit.

Republicans still trying to claim to be both the rulers and the cultural rebels at the same time. It doesn't work like that.

You can't be both the Country Club and the Hood. It just don't work that way.

Again, both much of the cultural "status" (for lack of a better term at the moment) of African Americans and a fair amount of their culture including both the Black Church and Rap Music (which are more deeply connected than one might think, where do you think all those rappers learned to sing?) came about specifically because of the shit rich white "Conservatives" did to Black people. 

This is what Republicans are trying to culturally appropriate for themselves.

Because, Republicans, being racist shits to the end...think there's some special secret mojo to cultural relevance here and they're desperate to try and claim it somehow...without doing any of the stuff that might actually help them do that.

For fuck's sake, I saw yesterday that Anthony Oliver, the guy who sang "Rich Men North Of Richmond" commented in response to his song being played at the debate that "I WROTE THAT SONG ABOUT THESE PEOPLE!"

Now, I have a whole analysis of that too, but that's likely a whole separate post and I don't want to detract from the mug shot issue.

Republicans aren't just dangerously out of touch, they're stupid.

These people make Mitt Romney in 2012, 47% comment and all, look like a man of the people by comparison.

I was there, I saw that change the minds of people who would've otherwise voted Republican, and that scares me for that reason. What happens when these people lose even more of us?? They're already hell-bent on rejecting Democracy. What happens if Democracy kicks them to the curb first?

And they have so much contempt for you, that they think you're stupid and don't know it.

Or maybe they just don't care, because they base the companies elsewhere, and they play their political fuck fuck games with the Russians now (while somehow being unaware that it's not actually a game for Ivan, but a deadly serious operation) and run the companies they use for their financial "Pump And Dump" schemes out of places like Bermuda. 

Like, most of these assholes in Congress have safe districts or safe states where most people vote for them...and it takes either a serious fuck up by Republicans or dedicated action and long-term effort by other people (or both, see my home state of Michigan) to roll that shit back. 

So it can be done.

But Domestic Abuser type logic is already the standard go-to for "Conservatives."

If they lose, if they're rejected, they're going to try and literally physically hurt people.

Republicans see problems, and think throwing force and/or money (but mostly money) at it is how you solve them. In fact, they think it's the only way.

When they see an actual, existential threat that they can't bully or buy off like COVID-19 or Vladimir Putin's New Soviet Russia, they want to bargain or conciliate with it, or sacrifice a virgin by throwing her in the volcano so maybe the Fire Gods will make the Earth stop shaking and the sacred mountain stop smoking.

And, being rich assholes, they perpetually think they'll get away with it.

For all their money and red power-ties and suits...these motherfuckers are one step up from dancing around the fire shouting "Unga Bunga."

Fighting back is too hard. There's no concept of actual resistance to real threats. That might mean they had to spend less time grifting and shit, or understand something besides reactionary bullshit.

And if anybody else fights back, that's like "Offending the gods" or some shit.

In their world, no one should ever dare resist Power. It doesn't matter if they're on the losing side of it or not...unless they lose to somebody who isn't cruel.

They're functionally incapable of seeing that there's third and fourth, much less expensive options like not being assholes or actually standing up for something.

The reason these fucking people hate the Ukrainians and those of us who support their fight for freedom is because they see what their ancestors would have done, or what they should be doing, and they don't like that.

Because the cruelty's the point, and they've decided it's easier to get by being weak-ass bootlickers.

They fundamentally misunderstand even the meaning of the words "War Dance."

Because understanding that might mean they would have to change, or something.

But the world changes, either change with it or be broken by it.

The problem with that, too, is that by and large these fucking people have adopted a religious mindset that the "World" is Evil but they are Good...and that, thusly, the World should be dominated by them.

They can't actually be both the cultural rebels and the rulers. They really cannot be both God and the Devil. These are wholly different spiritual archetypes that arose out of the human condition for reasons.

But these motherfuckers don't understand that, and they're absolutely going to try and have their cake and eat it too. It doesn't work like that.

But these fucking people's next step is going to be to try to beat the rest of us into submission enough that they can keep trying...as if they genuinely think their own gods and philosophical constructs don't exist and there's no afterlife in which they're going to be judged.

And when they can't have it, they'll kill more people.

We either stop this now, or humanity faces an eternity of abuse by people who think hurting others makes them righteous and who have nothing but contempt for any political system other than "Because I said so."

So get after it.

Because I'm tired of this bullshit already.

You get what you tolerate, America.

Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and the overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the House of Abraham, Muhammad, and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors...

You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to rearrange much of my thought-patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. This was not too difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.

During the past eleven days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed (or on the same rug) -- while praying to the same God -- with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. And in the words and in the actions and in the deeds of the "white" Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan, and Ghana. We were truly all the same (brothers) -- because their belief in one God had removed the "white" from their minds, the 'white' from their behavior, and the 'white' from their attitude. I could see from this, that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of Man -- and cease to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms of their "differences" in color.

With racism plaguing America like an incurable cancer, the so-called "Christian" white American heart should be more receptive to a proven solution to such a destructive problem. Perhaps it could be in time to save America from imminent disaster -- the same destruction brought upon Germany by racism that eventually destroyed the Germans themselves.

They asked me what about the Hajj had impressed me the most. . . . I said, "The brotherhood! The people of all races, color, from all over the world coming to gether as one! It has proved to me the power of the One God. . . . All ate as one, and slept as one. Everything about the pilgrimage atmosphere accented the Oneness of Man under One God.
