We Wage a Race AND Gender War!

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1XGPvbWn0A]

Race War Chronicles – a continuing series about America’s race issues, as told by the inspiration of RaceAgainstRace, 12 year old Sara Silver.

This link to the original story and audio file, covers a woman’s experience walking through New York City for 10 hours, to highlight the type of harassment women experience on a daily basis.  My dad writes this blog to fight racism, but there are issues that are just as important we need to clear up.

If women can’t walk down the street with a smile on their face, what kind of future does that mean for women like me?

My dad thinks that it’s White citizens that must first take the necessary steps to end racism in our time, and that disadvantaged people are the last people that can really solve the problem long term.  I say that it takes MEN FIRST, no matter how stupid and ignorant they are, to treat women with respect, and women shouldn’t have to bend over backwards to solve the problem.

Men should not feel empowered to insult women they don’t even know, and white empowered citizens MUST be on the front line to end racism against people of color.

You can walk and chew gum at the same time, can’t you America?

What do you think?

I’m All About That Race (Song Parody)

To be sung to Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Base”
Written by –  Rennick D

Because you know
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no Heckels.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no Jekylls.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no heckles.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, ’bout that race.

Sometimes it’s not that clear, what you’re supposed to do,
If you’re from white descent, and if you’re not a Jew,
Just give up room room now up for another race,
All the right moves for all the white places.

I see the FoxNews show, workin’ the backwards track.
You know O’Reilly’s wrong, you shouldn’t need a PAC.
He speaks right from his booty, his policy is whack.
He thinks redrawing district lines is gonna  bring sh-t back.

You know you ain’t gotta worry ’bout power you lose tonight,
My mama told me that folks like Judge Judy can make things right.
(Judge Judy, Judy.  Judge Judy Judy)
But then you filled up the court with a justice you know is wrong.
(Where’s Judy, Judy?  Where’s Judy, Judy?)
So if that’s what you’re into, then go ahead  and move along.

Get out the way because
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no Heckels.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no Jekylls.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no heckles.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, ’bout that race.

I’m bringin’ fairness back, tell those fakakta bitches where it’s at.
Tea Party jerks call me a lazy cat.
I’m here to tell ya
Every inch of me is perfect from the bottom to the top.

They say Asians and Natives, Latinos and Blacks shouldn’t slide,
On the mission to ensure we all get a piece of pie,
(Where’s Judy, Judy?  Where’s Judy’s booty?)
Then they change all the rules and they know they are doing wrong,
(Where’s Judy, Judy?  Where’s Judy’s booty?)
So if that’s what you’re into then go ahead and move along.

Because you know
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no Heckels.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no Jekylls.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no heckles.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race.

Because you know
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no Heckels.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no Jekylls.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race, no heckles.
I’m all about that Race, ’bout that race!

Scared, but not Shaken!

New Yorkers are special because we have mastered fear.  We master fear because history usually hits us first.  New York was mostly destroyed by British troops at the Revolutionary War, it was the first major American city to suffer a race riot at the start of the Civil War, and now the deadliest illness since AIDS is at our door.

What are we doing this morning?  What we usually do, going to work, dropping off our kids at school, and treating today like any other day, because we learned how to deal with fear a long time ago.

Mobs are not going to be attacking Liberians or Guinea-ans (what do they call themselves?  Guiners, whatevs…).  Panicked citizens will not be selfishly storming Bellevue Hospital for sick grandparents, and we are not going to look for people to blame.

Ebola in NY, a great headline, but big whoop, this city has dealt with FAR worse.  The only thing I’ll be doing differently today is not going near anyone that’s bleeding.  The true mystery of the day will be how many flowers and well wishers Dr. Craig Spencer get, eight dozen roses and a gift basket, or a dozen gift baskets and two dozen roses?

Duly noted, now what exactly would be good for dinner tonight, kielbasa with roasted potatoes and asparagus tips, or hot dog and fries?

Keep moving along folks, nothing to see here.  Tourists, don’t stop walking at the top of the subway stairs, there are people behind you!  Yes, there are ALWAYS people that are behind you, keep moving please.  Feel better, Doc Spencer, see you at the bowling alley next month, first beer’s on me.

Gov. Christie’s Gift to Hillary

Dear Chris;

“New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has heard enough about the minimum wage?”  Governor, I almost dropped my grandchild when I heard you got me the nicest gift ever.  It’s no where near Christmas, and I was dreading some early fundraising this season.  What relief!

Between upsetting your own voters in Fort Lee, illegal helicopter rides to watch your kid play softball, and this, I’m thinking about just laying low at the house with the kids for the next 12 months.  If you make this 2016 race too easy for me, it’ll get boring, so please give me some kind of challenge.  Here I’ll help:  Remember the time people thought Bubba killed my supposed boyfriend?  Or the the time I flinched so strangely that Colbert and John Stewart had people laughing at me for days?  Don’t hold that in your pocket until the last minute.

Anyway, time for little Bubba’s bath, Catch up with you on the trail next year, and “Hi” to Snooki and the family!

Sweet Cheating Virginia – A Tony Danzig Editorial

Uh, yeah sure, that looks pretty fair! Texas must have it rough!

Dis editorial is brought to you by Rocko’s Taco – Rocko’s ain’t just for lunch, they got breakfast there too.  Why give your kids a public school breakfast, when they can enjoy Rocko’s new Waffle Taco — a waffle stuffed with meatballs, gnoochi, mozzarella, salsa, syrup, and 6 ingredients of ya choosin’.  Don’t worry, their little hearts will warn ’em when to stop eating it.  Rocko’s!

Dis Washington Post article kills me, why would you go through the trouble of redrawing voting district lines, when you can just close the votin’ centers with a couple a goons?

Hey, Virginia, I know some guys, they’ll take care of you.  They don’t sleep at night, thinking about how minority votes are diluted artificially, but apparently you guys don’t have a problem with dat, so they’ll just take a page outta your book.  Let them go to North Virginia if they don’t like it, right?

I see on the map that you guys are trying to protect Williamsburg from da Blacks.  Yeah, we got a Williamsburg here to, it’s a mess — chicks with earrings all over their faces, Black guys holdin’ hands with Puerto Rican guys like it’s ok.  Who ever heard of a Black gay guy?  I saw ’em up on a balcony, making out like they were married or somethin’.  I’d like to redraw their lines, if ya know what I mean.  It’s people like dat that ruined Bloomberg’s 4th term, now we got a mayor who’s married to a Black chick!  It’s like Greenwich Village all over da place here, you don’t want this!

People here at the office say I’m “enabling institutional racism”, whatever dat is, but I say, power talks, Trevon walks, right?  Keep it up, Virginia, George Washington would be proud.  I gotta go, “42” is on HBO, and dis is the part where 42 gets heckled and chokes at bat, it cracks me up every time!

For Rocko’s Tacos,
Tony Danzig

A Solution to Racial Stress

Race Against Race!

Dear Caucasian Person,

Since it’s so incredibly difficult for you to treat brown-skinned people as equals, try this simple exercise on a 24/7 basis with all of your darker friends regardless of their gender:

1.  Pretend the person you’re speaking to is white before you open your mouth and say something.  If you suddenly feel the urge to refer to the individual as “Bro” or “My man” or “Girl”, you’re not doing it right.

2.  If you have ANY desire to discuss racial issues, how many Chinese or Latino friends you have, or want to impress someone with your incredible love of Barack Obama or Mark Anthony, slap yourself in the face and return to step 1.

3.  If you want to move heaven and earth to get some non-Caucasian acquaintance to be your friend, dedicate yourself to following rule 1 at all times, no matter how close you get…

Bill O’Reilly Acknowledges Institutional Racism!

John Stewart faced off with “Papa Bear” Bill O’Reilly last week, in a landmark interview where the FoxNews King admitted that white privilege exists and is at least a “factor” in current events.  Perhaps next you can get him to admit his news network doesn’t have any news people?

For the love of god, Mr. Stewart, please get Ann Coulter and the Koch Brothers to acknowledge this, assuming you can speak to them without violently dry heaving.

Race War Chronicles – Pumpkin Riot

Race War Chronicles  –  A continuing story of race in America, from the eyes of a 12 year old girl.
by Sara Silver

CNN has distinguished itself for once, covering the double standard of how one riot is differentiated from another, based on race, like a real news channel.  This story inspired me to find Rebecca Whitehead, a New Hampshire local, whose teenage grandson participated in the riot and faces no criminal charges.  She was defensive right from the start of our meeting, arguing that the “good kids” who “went a little nuts” were just blowing off some steam.

“My kid is not like some upstart negro looking for a hand-out!  He loves this country.”  After a long glance to her silent son, who sat across the room, shaking his head, she revises, “Sorry dear, ‘upstart black person’, is THAT better?”

When pressed to see that disparity exists between how white youths and black youths are depicted in the media, Ms. Whitehead barks, “No, the Cosby kids have it better than they think, in my day, the fire hose was just the first step.  You can’t get people like that to go home without at least 4 German shepherds, live round ammunition, and some hits to the head!  I don’t know how else to even get you out of the house!”  She turned to me brandishing her shotgun, standing her ground.

While leaving her high-fenced suburban home, after abruptly ending the interview, she continued, “Tell those people in Ferguson to get over it, or go back to Shaka Zulu!  And the Washington R-dskin haters too!  So what if there aren’t any blacks starting with the Chiefs in Kansas City, white people can play too, like the Celtics!”
