Monday Moaning
Happy Monday folks...I hope everyone got some moaning done this weekend...So for awhile I've been disconnected from news and sports, but all the Donald Sterling coverage got me warmed back up...But it wasn't just Sterling being a dope...It was the fact that a private conversation got this guy in trouble...But there is more...How the Internet has changed us...I blasted off a few thoughts HERE ...
So Sterling is in trouble with the NBA for a private conversation...But last I checked, No one has said a word about ESPN's Stuart Scott tweeting that Blacks and Hispanics can't be racist...Only Whites...1. Bullshit...2. Why is everyone so quiet about it...Yet a guy who working for Video game developer Turtle Rock was fired for this tweet...
I don't know if I would use the word victim...But I don't think the guy is actually wrong...Nor should he have been fired...This was Turtle Rock's statement...
"The comments made by our former community manager stand in stark contrast to our values as a game development studio. We sincerely apologize for his remarks and in no way endorse or support those views."
REALLY!?! You make first-person shooter games...You're all good with promoting and selling violence, but your employees can't have an unpopular opinion about an old bigot...Can't speak their mind...That's some stupid shit!
Then We saw Twitter explode with "#Nigger" trending because PK Subban scored a game winning 2OT goal to beat the Boston Bruins...Everyone felt the need to speak out about it...You know what...Assholes are going to be assholes no matter what...Freeze their Twitter account...Attack them back on twitter (taking the bait)...it doesn't matter...They're an asshole, and most likely they're set in their asshole ways...No matter how much you get upset, they're not changing...Let the idiots say their stupid shit...Try this wacky idea...Ignore the idiot asshole!
Then in game 2 Subban broke a out a cheap shot...No the first time...Won't be the last... HERE's a good post about it...Yeah...It was covered on the Gab, but most of the sports media has stayed away...WHY? Because everyone is so damn afraid to say anything negative about about a black person, because in this day and age, you are automatically attacked as a bigot, or racist, or insensitive...And some one will bring up slavery...Well listen...It's 2014...Slavery was fucking evil, but it's been long fucking gone...Slavery has had zero fucking impact on PK Subban life...So I'm not afraid to say, they guy is a cheap shot artist...Just like white boy Matt Cooke, (who should be out of hockey, and beaten within an inch of his life)...Subban is talented, but will play dirty, and will turtle anytime some one of equal size or bigger challenges him to drop the gloves...I'm not saying this because he's black and I'm white...I'm saying this because I fucking watch hockey!
And for anyone who is unhappy because I subtly said I'm sick of hearing about slavery...Well, I am...My white, Irish, Hungarian, Croatian ancestors didn't own slaves...Had nothing to do with it...My Father doesn't owe shit...My dead Grandfather doesn't owe you shit...I don't owe shit, just like no one owes me shit...My Irish ancestors, like most when they first came to America were treated like shit...They struggled...By they made it through...My Grandfather and Father didn't bitch all these years later about "NINA" signs (No Irish Need Apply)...Do you know why the Irish have a long/proud tradition in Fire Departments and Police Departments across this country...Because no one else wanted those jobs...No one else wanted their life on the line every day...But the Irish need work...So they took the jobs...
People in the media keep saying we need to have an open and honest discussion about race in this country...But everyone is too damn afraid of offending everyone to have that talk...Which is fucking sad, because Saturday at work, the guys in the kitchen and I were having a great talk about it all...White guys, Black guys, Hispanic guys...No one got upset...No one threw punches...Everyone had their say, and everyone understood each other...And everyone thought Sterling's girl was just a dirty gold-digging bitch...
It's not that hard America...Supposedly we have Freedom of Speech...Use it...Don't be afraid of it...
Have a week...
The Beeze.

Ignorance Was Bliss (part 2)
So it's time for round two of this series...I actually changed my mind with where I wanted to go with this one, so part 3 may be tomorrow...But in this episode I'm going after a story that the news, all networks, and social media have been pounding into our face...Another story that makes me think we'd be better off not paying attention to the news...
Donald fucking Trump...This fucking ass-hat, and he is, look at that retarded hair...But this ass-hat has been on a non-stop, magical mystery tour of bullshit...And every talk show, news show, radio show, any open mic will let this fuck-tard spew his drivel...He's been beating this Jesse Venture like, conspiracy theory that President Obama is not American, to death...
So I'm going to clear the air...First, if you disagree with the President's politics, or views, or how he deals with things, that's fine...I don't agree with everything he does, or doesn't do...Feel free to challenge him on that...But to go after this "Birther" crap is just ridiculous...Let me explain...
First, his mother is American...She was born in Kansas...I repeat, His Mother is an American citizen...That right there is enough for me...My mom is American, so am I...Get it! No one seemed to mind that John McCain was born in Panama...Why? Because his mommy was American! Don't worry, "Birthers" if that's not enough, I've got more...
Second, every single Congressman, and Senator has a FBI file...They investigate them all...Which means President Obama does as well...And I'm sure they were made to do some extra research when he became a Presidential candidate...Oh, and the Secret Service opens a file on all Presidential candidates...So if the FBI and Secret Service are satisfied, why the fuck isn't Donald Trump?
Now many people want to call "Birthers" racist...Well I'm sure some are...But not the good kind of racists...You know, the ones who just flat out say it..."I don't like him, he's a nigger!" At least those backwards ass, retards are honest...
But I won't say that's the only reason for this bullshit...I mean Donal Trump just said, "I have a great relationship with the blacks. I've always had a great relationship with the blacks." How can you not believe those words?
But all Trump is doing is stirring the big PR pot...Keeping his name out there, and getting big ratings for his stupid ass show...He's not really going to run for President...One, he doesn't want all his financial dirt getting out there...and two, once NBC offers him a contract for another season of his fuck-tard show, he'll pull himself, and his stupid hair out of the race...Why do you think other Republicans are being so quiet...They don't want to get into a back and forth with this dope, and that way they can ask him for some money after he's out of it...
Okay, so can we put that stupid baby to bed now?
Since I brought up racism before, let me ask you this...Is the following video racist?
I'll say yes, yes it is...Next question...Can something be racist and funny at the same time? Yes, yes it can...I laughed when I saw that...I knew it wasn't PC, but I laughed...I know Hockey, and know PK Subban, and he's quickly becoming one of the most hated players in the NHL...So the fact that some one took that ad, and mixed in some O.J. was funny to me...
Sticking with this topic, there are some videos out there featuring a guy named Tubesteak...This are intended to be humorous, with their over the top stereotypes of the Black community...
Now was that funny? I would say it's funny...I laughed at plenty of that stereotypical bullshit...Now do is it racist? Most would say it isn't because black people made it...Fuck it, I can live with that...But there are people out there, who are ignorant, and don't get that it's suppose to be humor...And is it humor like that, holding firm to stereotypes, that keeps racist thoughts alive and strong...I think so...Stupid people see that, and think that's the sum of the black race...SO they may have gotten some laughs, but they'll also get those awkward looks as well...
It really was a better time, when I didn't pay attention to the rest of the world...
Later, the Beeze.
