He should drop the Andy, and just go with Dick.

Washed. Up. Loser.

…best idea / advice I’ve heard so far, JWF

honora, another stupid, vulgar, ingorant, and typically worthless comment that serves no purpose and makes no sense to anyone except to other dried-up Clintonite hags who only come on this blog to vent their petty she-anger.

Why did it take the Richards incident to get Jackson started on this crusade?…

Why die Maxine Waters jump into this fire? Because she and Jessie hadn’t had too much exposure lately… TV- and news-whores, full of hot air.

My point is that when you belong to a group that disproportionately enjoys the benefits of the society, whining about how you are on the shitty end of the stick when it comes to political correctness, well it’s whining.

Like those stupid ants whining about all the grief they took from the poor, starving grasshoppers.

Unfortunately there is no point to this at all. Since when does belonging to a “group” make everyone in that group equal? Do you honestly purport that all white men have great jobs, enjoy fantastic perks, get a free pass in society – just because they’re white? How elitist, cliche, and stereotypical can you get. All men may be created equal, but their roles in society are definitely NOT equal. I can’t stand this type of simplistic logic (if the word “logic” can be adequately used in this reference). Suggesting a white man has no right to “whine” about anything simply because he’s white completely ignores principals of self-determination and circumstances, and reflects a very simple mind.

Jesse Jackson’s on a mission to have the word deemed taboo in all circumstances, regardless of the intent with which it’s used.

Why did it take the Richards incident to get Jackson started on this crusade? Plenty of people, less “powerful” than Jackson, have called for an end to N-word usage for a long time. But suddenly one of the shakedown brothers joins the fight, simply because if he didn’t he’d look like a hypocrite for selectively condemning people for using it. What a fricken’ joke.

Paul Mooney said after the Richards incident that he’s dropping it from his act.

And Paul Mooney? Please… This is the same guy that played “Negrodamus” on Chappelle’s Show (third sketch in this vid).

Highlight:

Q: Why do white people like Wayne Brady so much?

N: White people love Wayne Brady…because he makes…Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.

That criteria is the same whether you are black, white, green, or red.

I don’t know, nate. Those green people can get away with anything.

I’ve even met someone (in the same small town that I was born in – pop. 330 – when I went back to visit) that had the exact same name, first middle and last (and no, we weren’t related).

Only 35 with my mom’s name and 0 with my sister’s name. Looks like they got the unique names.

It is a disgusting word that should be purged from American culture.”

I disagree. I don’t support him. He’s a race pimp and an extortionist. Neither do I support the politically correct police. I don’t support any censorship at all among adults, even the mild censorship here at HA.

People who use the word ARE a$$h9les. And I have no qualms about using the actual A-word to their face when they act out.

There are 13 of me. But I am the only Urban Centurion.

One more slap on Socialism/Communism. Castro will come after you…he’s terminally ill? Never mind :)

Love your pen name. Good, unique pick!

Honora’s definitely not a troll. — dalewalt

…seconded (or thirded, or fourthed, I’ve lost count).

Not that I’m sucking up to her, you understand. She’s mighty confused…doesn’t capitalize her name…and dresses like a hoochie sometimes….

…other than that, she’s quality.

This place would be a dump if we all agreed…unless that was for us all to agree with me…that’d be OK.

I always do this …. thing when I write. — quax1

…so do I…periods are cheap. They’ll keep making ‘em.

…plaintext lacks nuance. You need a good way to express a drawl, a pause for effect, a pause for breath, and a fart. “…” is as good a method as any.

…oh…it also p*sses off tight-a$$ed people. There’s another plus.

My point is that when you belong to a group that disproportionately enjoys the benefits of the society, whining about how you are on the shitty end of the stick when it comes to political correctness, well it’s whining. — honora

…shift of viewpoint: you’re enjoying the benefits of society when they’re there, and you can walk barefoot through ‘em.

…it’s another matter when *YOU MAKE THE SOCIETY AND THEN MAKE THE BENEFITS*…and other people, who don’t do so much “makin’” then not only get to do the barefoot walkin’ — no problems there, that’s what benefits are for — but also take every opportunity to diss, dissemble and discharge all over you.

It isn’t whining to remark upon ingratitude.

We’re into the, what, second or third generation of artifically slanted playing fields? We had a crooked playing surface for 100 years, slanted not so much in favor of whites — there were *PLENTY* of ass-out-of-their-britches whites during the Jim Crow years who generally lived at the same level as blacks — as it was slanted against blacks. Those days of de jure racism are done. Period.

Now, we’re living with the playing field no more level than it was when Bilbo ran for the Senate. Equality is *STILL* off on the horizon…and there’s a poverty and grievance industry, thinly disguised by loft phrases extolling that distant equality, which profits by keeping things askew.

Most citizens who strive in this country succeed nowadays. There’s as much racism and ill feeling on one side of any indicated racial divide in this country — black/white, black/Korean, white/Indian, hispanic/black — as well as the old gender-based standby, along with matters touching upon the handicapped, homosexual and the self-marginalized, as there ever was. People are people.

What people would be wise to do, however, is take a gander at themselves and *TRY* to be fair. If you’re all bent out of shape about the nasty, exploitative, racist, oppressive white male, consider that he’s probably as tired of hearing it as you are of saying it. Stop talking and get moving.

…Andy…Dick…Dick….

…probably thought that “Andy Fellatio” sounded too Italian….

I just played that game on your site – guess what? no one in the entire country has my name, heh. I loved it! Love the title of your site ‘Tolerance my A-s’.

Honora’s definitely not a troll.

dalewalt on December 5, 2006 at 5:15 PM

Fully agree. She’s intelligent, witty, well-read, funny and courageous. Just gets carried away sometimes into the malaise of idealism or just snaps the pen keyboard – then realizes it and fights another time. Loves the give/take, with no rancor. More, please!

Yeah, poor things.

Let’s see:
top positions in govt, check
top positions in private sector, check
top earners, check
not getting a pass for using the N word, check

Gee this is a tough position to be in. Poor white hetero guys. — honora

…yeah…pulling our weight and a lot besides, and still everybody’s bad guy. That’s sort of the point, H. It isn’t whining to say that the whining is all pretty one-sided.

…Andy…Dick…Dick…hmmmm….

From now on, call me “Mr. Hamburger”. You are what you eat, after all.

On a very serious note – I’m a female who came to this country legally, not knowing but a few English words. No one, but no one, ever, discriminated against me, nor would they have dared. There is nothing to add to this. It was all hard work, realism, attitude and persistence, and no whining whatever.

Good for you Entelechy. You’re one of the ones who helps to make this country great!

You know, act like a man.

honora on December 5, 2006 at 2:38 PM

I do, thank you very much. But let me say this. She (a assume) is trying to make a point. She’s wrong, of course. But it’s not your typical trolling. Plus, she stuck around and continued to engage in discourse as opposed to simply spewing invective.

Take that DU and HuffPo! We have the best trolls on the net!
