I was actually in the states for a little and sure am glad that I got to watch some American news because we really know what's important in our country. So I figure I might as well weigh in on the biggest news story of the last decade. Well, this and the missing flight.
Thank you Supreme Court
The Voter Rights act and Affirmative Action were put in
place to prevent racism. If racism didn’t exist, these laws need not exist.
When these laws were struck down by the Supreme Court, they were in essence
declaring racism to be a non factor in our society. Isn’t it funny that a week after racism is over the Los Angeles Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, and Fox News and
viewers Hero, Cliven Bundy, appear on tape proclaiming racism is alive and kicking while pimp slapping the Supreme Court.
Perhaps the funniest part is next month’s NAACP ceremony was
cancelled. Donald Sterling was to receive a lifetime achievement award. How
embarrassing it have been for the NAACP to give such a prestigious award to a racist.
Actually, I take that back. This was going to be his SECOND lifetime
achievement award from the NAACP. He already received one back in 2009.
His official title should be Public Outrage Specialist |
Thank you Al Sharpton
Well at least there’s one person that’s having a good week. I really wish I had Al Sharpton’s job. Just sit around and do nothing until someone is caught on tape making a racist remark. Then go on every TV show and express your outrage on behalf of the African American community.
I know there's tons of gold diggers out there but I still dry heave when I picture girls like this banging old men |
Thank you V. Stiviano (her full legal name)
The funny part about the tape isn’t the blatent racism of
Sterling but the conniving mistress. It’s hilarious listening to her egg him on while
acting so sweet, naïve and innocent. If you are ever afraid of being recorded
this should be a clear tell.
Maybe it's the conspiracy theorist in me but I think Stern intentionally chose someone less attractive than himself as a successor. |
Thank you Adam
Silver?
A lot of people are happy to see Sterling banned for life
from the NBA but Adam Silver may have set a dangerous precedence. From now on
is every player, coach and manager going to be given a lifetime ban if they are
caught privately making a racially insensitive remark? How about an insensitive
religious, sexist or homophobic slur? Or maybe this lifetime ban will only last
as long as, convicted felon, George Steinbrenner’s (3 years).
Thank you America
It bugs me how American’s think they are so progressive because we do things like boycott a Chick-fil-A or get someone fired for having a private conversation at home. But we aren’t. If we were progressive people there would have been public outrage over George Bush banning stem cell research, republican states across the country making laws to deter minority voting (thanks again Supreme Court), climate change, or Donald Sterling years ago when he had to pay out the largest housing discrimination lawsuit in history. (if you're outraged by Sterling's comments last week, Google all his alleged racist comments over the past 20 years. It will make your head spin. ) But hey, if something is buzzworthy on Twitter, Instagram or TMZ we Americans will show the rest of the world how righteous we are.
