Food cranks update: From Sundance to Dunkin’ Donuts, the gluten-free craze shows no signs of abating Why Fruit Juice Is the Real Health Killer Liberal racism Many libs believe, deep down, that blacks and hispanics cannot make it in the world Q…

confusing people in the ranks being used by people who lead is stupid..

john cleese explained it best..

you can hurt or irritate and do things to people as long as they think your helping.

as long as the premise is help, everything bad is an accident… and ok

tillurdizzy , I believe that can be credited to Bush (or at least one of his speechwriters).

You’re witnessing the imputations welling up from the mythic Magical Negro of Hollywood synthesis.

Outside of Eddie Murphy’s brutally funny portrayals in “Bowfinger” — Hollywood abjectly refuses to permit ANY fictive Black characters that aren’t Beatified.

Which is passing strange — since Hollywood disrespects religion — particularly Catholicism.

It’s a rare when even “Huckleberry Finn”, the film, can be tolerated.

Instead, Black Americans are chronically portrayed as anti-reality — as tech wizards. That’s the absolute L A S T thing that young Black males would want to happen to themselves.

[“Hogan’s Heroes” and “Mission Impossible” wanted tokens to cinematically fight WWII and the Spy War. Yet, Blacks were wildly underrepresented in PW cages in WWII. And, how could any Black pass as an Eastern European/ South American junta member?

The solution was to make their roles complete anti-realities: techs.

Even “Cops” is ethnically cleansed. They’ve got w a y, w a y too much footage of Blacks acting badly. So, the hunt was a l w a y s to find White footage. Understandably, that meant plenty of trailer park footage.]

This chronic image distortion is carried on in spades for Barry.

The Nazis infamously cranked out defamatory agitprop against Jews. The result was a completely screwball society. Truth was polluted by lies. The consequent politics and history weighs heavily upon us even now.

I maintain that the super elevation of the Magical Negro requires the comparative suppression of all others.

I fear the consequences that must ensue from such a pervasive truth distortion.

A foretaste is provided by Michelle Obama. Her college thesis is a screed against Affirmative Action — by indirection.

The Procrusteans in Charge just don’t have enough human metal to work with. So, they just keep pounding away at us.

I have had male friends who did the same thing with women. They have a type and impute fine qualities based solely on her appearance, only to discover some pernicious character defect later. We do the same thing with tall people- we think they’re leaders naturally. I’ve seen people taken in by a certain type of authoritative male voice, even when they were talking nonsense (Obama has such a voice, by the way.)

Anyway, liberals do that with race, and often with blacks because that is the group they would like to see succeed more than any other. I would like to see everyone succeed, but I have no illusions about people’s nature, and I don’t judge people until I know who they actually are. The Right knows who Obama is. Liberals then assumes opposition to Obama is racist because they can’t bring themselves to think that he does not hold all of the upstanding and fine qualities they think he has.

The funny part is that they think that we’d accept the their judgment for intelligent someone else was. It’s like accepting the assessment of a Taco Bell employee that someone is a great chef.
