Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

The Snow Man
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
BY WALLACE STEVENS

Just found out about this amazing new restaurant called “Amplifying Black Voices” where you can buy non-racist hamburgers and anti-fascist milkshakes. pic.twitter.com/0JA1mELnYg

virtue diarrheists, all.
They’re a disgusting lot.
lol

As well they should. Systemic dysfunction in the black community is entirely the fault of people like these. Especially the trannies! If only they had a higher opinion of negroes all this trouble would just go away. Good to see they’re finally stepping up to the plate. Now everyone can stop blaming me. Utopia is just around the corner!

White privilege in a nutshell: being held responsible for the actions of your ancestors by people who take no responsibility for the actions of their children.
Whenever I see these fake sincerity apologies I am reminded of this scene:

These people are the reason the Lord created the middle finger.
That was freakin’ hilarious. Love the Megan (Meghan? Aw,who cares) and Harry “They’re called Underpants!”. OJ demanding JAIL time for us racists?? Bruce/Caitlyn mouthing anything is too horrible to watch.
Well done, Mr Dunnigan.
Where can I get a pair of those comedy eyeglasses that sad girl is wearing? It’s a girl,right?
Good stuff. Well done mockery is a thing of beauty.
I can’t view this post on Instagram. I am somewhat bummed about this, but I’ll get over it.
Why yes, I take responsibility
for my actions.
I suspect most posting here take responsibility
for their individual actions.
If those witless woke whiners want to take responsibility for actions of the long dead instead, and the actions of others that exist only in their heads, regarding such I’m done with awe, anger amazement and incredulity.
All I’ve got left is laughter and I’m down with that.
You gotta love the white appropriation that blacks enjoy every day. Football and basketball were games originally played by whites….each appropriated and dominated by the NAPA. Straight hair, convertible 2 seat sports cars and SUVs, Jeeps and pickup trucks, same thing. Bow hunting, bass boats, going to the beach to work on a suntan, fraternities and sororities….(one I never understood), all appropriated by blacks.
So far I’ve not seen much black interest in water or snow skiing, yachting, flying sport aircraft, badminton or trap and skeet shooting but I’m sure those white activities will be appropriated sometime in the near future but I embrace high hope that in the interim they’ll bring back and popularize the game of lawn darts.
They appropriate whitey’s ways and in feeble attempts to be original and have a truly black thing they have kwanza, juneteenth and the big shiny rims that jack their cheap, highly polished street rides off of the pavement and additional 12″ or so but those things aren’t popular or even really commented upon by whitey so their existence as a black thing is only so-so within the community.
But, with all of that going on in their attempts to be like whitey, I’m curious why they don’t appropriate the whitey’s views on having too many illegitimate children, making baby-daddies come to the lick-log and be financially and socially responsible for their illegitimates, living for multiple generations on welfare and other government handouts, developing a desire to obtain solid educations and obtaining technical or professional degrees so they can escape the poverty of ‘da hoodt’, reducing levels of domestic violence, violent crime, drug trafficking, black gangs and all of the other far more visible attributes of the black community that don’t exist in any in great degree within white society.
Nah, I don’t take any responsibility for any of their problems. Screw ’em and everything about them.
They’re the common denominator to every single problem they have and the sad, sad thing is that they refuse to see themselves, individually and collectively, as such. It’s always “gimme dis or gimme dat”, whitey’s a racist, I need someone to help me along…….yada, yada, fucking yada.
