The elegant truth versus victimhood

by Y'shua Friday, Mar. 26, 2004 at 7:54 PM

Dear potential victims,

The only ones enriched by this circus will be those that secured money from the kollij to pay for it. "Free" just means someone else is paying, in this case, probably your school.

"Chris Crass" isn't going to help you pursue personal excellence or help you integrate into a society with his belly-achin' about stuff that happened centuries ago.

Allow me to save you the time you'd waste at this rally with some truths:

* Life is hard no matter what color you are. There are plenty of poor whites to attest there is no 'secret club' whereby they are granted special favors.

* Nobody is going to hand you anything without expecting something in return. Even if you accept gummint "handouts" you're really selling your independence.

* Other races (i.e. Asians) aren't wasting time bemoaning the past or crying about faults in the system. They're in libraries, STUDYING. Which is what YOU should be doing if you plan to get both the degree and the job you want. If you want the POWER to change the system you need to start with securing your own PERSONAL power.

That's all. The choice is yours: celebrate victimhood and end up a chump (while "Crass" schleps to the next gullible town with a carpetbag full of YOUR school's funds) or ignore this poser for the downtrodden and GET HOT on those books!

>>>> or better yet, do it the anarcho-demoshit way: make a mountain out of a molehill...enrage modern blacks over garbage that happened centuries ago, make them feel like victims and make it harder for them to assimilate...THAT'LL keep 'em voting for the left!



...that about sums up the two tools in republican pants...

De'nial is not just a river in Egypt, ya Beyaathes (two morons above KPC)

by mediawatcher Saturday, Mar. 27, 2004 at 9:43 PM

Funny how some privileged white males and people of color who have been brainwashed into thinking they are white are in such denial of white privilege in this nation, and then they use the "you 'victims' don't have enough drive" claim to protect their ignorance.

Even if you morons try to ignore the past, do you think the present is any better where now we have women and minorities who work towards spreading U.S.-style white supremacy throughout the world (e.g Colin, Condeleeza, both of whom

now oppress West Indian nations in the name of bULLshit).

And the white supremacists already have their own whiney-ass, "we're the victim" jackasses like Hannity, Coulter, O'Really?, Limbaugh, et.al. Hell, they even have a whole

network called FUXNEWS.

Go read some Peggy McIntosh and Tim Wise and get a fuckin' clue and stop holding on to your privilege like it was your dick. And if you're afraind of losing your white, racial purity (whatever the fuck that is) you ain't racially pure to begin with.

Answering poor-me victims with a handout of painful truth--not to be missed.

"Funny how some privileged white males and people of color who have been brainwashed into thinking they are white are in such denial of white privilege in this nation, and then they use the "you 'victims' don't have enough drive" claim to protect their ignorance."

>>>> And yet you provide no concrete examples of how this victimization still exists. Are library cards not free for blacks and other so-called minorities? What about free voting? Minorities pay the same prices for goods and services as whites. Minorities have freedom of speech and can (where not oppressed by fucking liberals) can own firearms to protect their lives and property.

>>>> if it's so bad in America, please explain how vietnamese, caribbean blacks and indian indian immigrants have all arrived and in in ONE generation surpassed the bottom of the african-american blame game bell curve.

>>> As for ‘white privilege’ please let me know how to sign up. Cause I still have to pay rent and an assortment of bills ON TIME. I’d love to apply for a ‘white privilege card’ but alas, none exists. Strangely, a black man in a Ferrari attracts more women than a white guy in a Ford. How does THAT happen?

>>>> On top of this, is it necessary to go into the mountains of minority-only scholarships and other ‘free’ aid as well as illegal (in the moral sense) preferential hiring practices? As much as you’d like it to be, BEING WHITE IS NOT A CRIME.

>>> and by the way, accusing blacks and other minorities of ‘acting white’ is not only an extremely vile, racist thing to say, it’s just plain stupid. If you think showing up to a job on time, working hard, learning to speak proper English in a business environment, not expecting the government to take care of you and exercising plain simple courtesies are ‘acting white’ then you’ve already sealed your fate.

"Even if you morons try to ignore the past, do you think the present is any better where now we have women and minorities who work towards spreading U.S.-style white supremacy throughout the world (e.g Colin, Condeleeza, both of whom now oppress West Indian nations in the name of bULLshit)."

>>>> First of all, no one here is ignoring the past…but certian lefties sure love to IGNORE THE FUTURE when they can make a quick buck off of racial grievances.

Once again, you prove the point admirably---the victim mentality yields you nothing and does nothing to better YOUR life. Your ranting about life in other countries you know nothing about (especially your own) proves further you’re just a mouthpiece for some criss crass jerk with a megaphone whose raking it in off your gullibility. No organization has a better slave hold on blacks than the modern democrap party.

"And the white supremacists already have their own whiney-ass, "we're the victim" jackasses like Hannity, Coulter, O'Really?, Limbaugh, et.al. Hell, they even have a whole network called FUXNEWS."

>>>> What you’re describing are the fact-based exposes of the LIEberal assault on freedom, morality and human dignity. Let’s get one thing straight, in a free society based on merit, the mouthpieces of race-baiting and poor-me-ism, who demand handouts/reparations for doing nothing are the enemies.

"Go read some Peggy McIntosh and Tim Wise and get a fuckin' clue and stop holding on to your privilege like it was your dick. And if you're afraind of losing your white, racial purity (whatever the fuck that is) you ain't racially pure to begin with."



>>>>> You’re but a racist with a chip on his/her shoulder. Don’t expect to go very far in life hating anyone and blaming anyone else but yourself for your failures.

>>>>> Democraps have made more slaves out of black people than any white power group or centuries- ago slave trade.

>>>> like that other guy said, "be somebody, or be some liberal's TOOL"

Serving the clueless on Commienet since '03

by Walker, Texas Plumber Sunday, Mar. 28, 2004 at 12:22 AM

>>>> Ah, OneEyedGlans, you never tire of being wrong. It's almost admirable.

>>>> If you want to be a smelly, dirty hippie with zero uselful job skills, who can't speak and write proper English, that's your right. Just don't expect anyone else to pay for your laziness and incompetence. Or your bottomless victimhood.

Waiter: "Republicans don't make an industry out of poverty pimp/faux-vicitimization/racial grievance bullshit. "

Not an industry...but a "poor whitey" campaign strategy! Tailor made for idiot trash like you!

>>>>> Now high-five the dirties to your left and other left.

Jesse Jackson: giver of life to a bastard and a poverty pimp.

Al Sharpton: lying felon and poverty pimp.

C. Crass: orator/swindler for clueless kollij krowd of spoiled jackoffs

All 3of the above: enjoying making a quick buck off victicrat whiners

...now it's nappy time, pobrecito! Cuddle up with whatever ya got that makes life bearable in Texas (but I bet it's gotta be potent!).

>>>> You try, you fail. But you haven't failed enough (yet) to know anything. All Rs please enjoy the OEG spectacle!

You just need to learn how to juggle, and also a little dog named Trotsky to follow you around.

Racism

by Proud Disruptive Poster Sunday, Mar. 28, 2004 at 4:10 AM

It's amazing how these left wing morons manage to keep 'racism' alive as an issue in their own minds fifty years after it was eliminated in America.

In today's world we have more 'reverse racism' than traditional racism.

The old fashioned racists have been marginalized and are rarely visible. The new and fashionable racists are in charge of admissions at colleges like UCLA.

The most obvious and outspoken racist I know of today is Jesse Jackson.

>>> I am but a tiny X-wing flying into what amounts to the LEFT STAR of foolishness. I'm glad you're entertained...that means you're open to learning something.

>>> Against the gathering liberal darkness, those on the right are now the real rebels.

>>> Besides, all you professional victims/rabble rousers deserve a little cheese with your WHINE.





Reader vs. Walker

by BA Sunday, Mar. 28, 2004 at 11:39 PM

The above jousting between Reader and Walker is worth noting.

My estimate would be that Walker is much more accomplished in his life that Reader is or will ever be.

I suspect that Walker lives in a bigger house, drives a bigger car, takes bigger vacations, and generally lives life on a bigger scale than Reader ever has or ever will.

People like Reader don't ever achieve much. Their lives are measured by how loud they can whine.

Now there's something Bush Admirer's a pro at being. Long live the idiot king.

Should we replace names with those hashes?

by johnk Monday, Mar. 29, 2004 at 12:24 PM

I've been thinking of making the software block IPs again. The jackhole quotient seems to rise from time to time. It's a fuckin red tide of nascent fascists again.

What do you all think?

"nascent fascists"

by Walker, Texas Plumber Wednesday, Mar. 31, 2004 at 9:39 PM

I resemble that remark.

fresca

by why not Wednesday, Mar. 31, 2004 at 11:50 PM

"fuckin red tide of nascent fascists again. "

Why not. Isn't it part and parcel of being a member of the intolerant left the compulsion to stamp out and delete anything that you don't agree with or that makes you "feel".

Johnk, you are truly a laughable pathetic loser.

Spending so much time chasing around and purging anything that scares you. I mean, what would your precious Saint Morrisey think if he knew you were such a pussy?

So go ahead, add a call to an object to block IP's. It's just more work for you and laughable to us.

Modern racism

by White flight = white theft Wednesday, Mar. 31, 2004 at 11:54 PM

"...enrage modern blacks..."

Umm, what are "modern blacks"? And is enraging them similar to enraging moderm whites?

To everyone else: do go to this teach-in. It appears to be hitting a core nerve.

Why can't everyone be as smart as me.

.......bunch of friggin' idiots..............

"So go ahead, add a call to an object to block IP's. It's just more work for you and laughable to us."

fresca, you are real stupid. The JDL must be scraping the barrel.

fresca

by johnk Thursday, Apr. 01, 2004 at 12:33 AM

Doing things to block fascists is a hobby and it does give me something to do. It may not be evident on the surface, but this "activist/anarchy" shit ain't exactly taking off like we planned. So in the meanwhile, I'll do other stuff.

The left keeps blacks on the mental plantation

by Walker, Texas Plumber Thursday, Apr. 01, 2004 at 12:39 AM

"Umm, what are "modern blacks"? And is enraging them similar to enraging moderm whites?"

>>>> "Modern blacks" is a way to distinguish between blacks of the 21st century who recognize the opportunities available to them NOW and the poor-me victim blacks (like Jesse Jackson) who pretend it's either 1950 or 1850 and that they're slaves in order to blackmail companies.

Not only does this victim mentality diss those who embrace it here and now, it degrades the memory of past generations of blacks who were considerably more "inconvenienced" by slavery and institutionalized racism.

The only modern slave cage in America (there's still slavery going on in Northern Africa) is in the minds of the people who CHOOSE to be victims.

Does racism still exist? Yes. Is it all -pervading and crushing? No.

Lefty shitbirds who dare call anyone else a fascist yet openly hate whites are little better than sheep (you can't get much wool from a hippie). You're not only hypocrites, you're NEEDLESSLY cutting yourselves off at the knees.

"To everyone else: do go to this teach-in. It appears to be hitting a core nerve."

I don't give a damn if anyone goes or not. Unlike the left, I'm willing to let others make mistakes. But especially unlike the left, no one else should pay for someone else's preventable ignorance.

Don't expect to go far in the business world with a chip on your shoulder against ANY race. And don't expect to work for a Fortune 500 company while speaking 'ebonics.'

And to the a-hole who forged my name for the "I resemble that remark".....may you choke on your next tofuburger (a little).

by johnk Thursday, Apr. 01, 2004 at 1:14 AM

The ideas don't scare me. They annoy me and many of the people who read the articles. These troll posts are just a lame form of online vandalism that serve to distract people from doing anything useful here.

The whole concept of open online discussion is nice in theory, but only works if people are considerate. People are not considerate here. Therefore, the online disucssion isn't working.

And, please, the argument that this site is boring without all the bickering... it doesn't hold water. It's like saying that a night at the bar is no fun without a bar fight. If you need bickering in your life to have fun... try being nice for a change.

That post up there

by johnk Thursday, Apr. 01, 2004 at 1:36 AM

The one about fascists with my name on it is a fake. I don't call the pro-Bush jerks on here fascists unless they're acting like fascists. As for anarchy taking off. It's doing well. It might take a long time, but, we've all got our entire lives to work on improving ourselves and our society.

Also, Chris Crass is white. The people commenting negatively about this forum don't know what they're talking about.

fresca

by fair enough Thursday, Apr. 01, 2004 at 2:34 AM

"People are not considerate here. "

Fair enough. And I agree that actual discussion might actually be more interesting than bickering.

I'm curious why only those with a conservative bent get targeted with your arsenal of Php/Mysql weapons for being "inconsiderate".

Posters like KPC for example have matched anyone you can think of for just sheer juvenile vulgarity and hatefulness yet he has yet to get the IP hash. Certainly he's not discussing anything.

Now why is that?

And what about Sheepdog?

by Sheepdog Thursday, Apr. 01, 2004 at 2:56 AM

Ahh yes, the question on everyone's lips.

I'm SO popular.

I wouldn't mind the IP hash as it would discourage fakers.

if fresca, ba, and walker shut the hell up...

by more rational Thursday, Apr. 01, 2004 at 9:43 AM

Then KPC and Sheepdog would also shut the hell up... I'd shut the hell up too, except to write long, meandering articles about things the local neo-cons don't care about.
