*NSFW* Lou Reed: I wanna be black

Every since the whole Racial Dolezal thing came out this song has been going through my head and I've been laughing.

If you are offended by, say, The Jerk, please do not listen to this song.

You've been warned.



Hey, KAJ is down with Rachel Dolezal identifying as black, so give it a rest all you tight-assed whi' people.

Liberals always get a pass for saying racial stuff. Lenny Bruce is lionized by NPR at least once a year, Ted Danson is famously defended by Whoopi Goldberg, etc. It's all very clever, you know, social commentary when liberals get racial. It's not insensitive at all.

Juan Williams Inadvertantly Predicted the Attacks on Bill Cosby

Juan Williams wrote this on August 19, 2014, ten days after the Michael Brown incident:

Ten years ago Bill Cosby gave a speech that fits today's racial troubles in Ferguson, Mo. "People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of poundcake," the now 77-year-old black comedian said at an NAACP event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision. "And then we all run out and we're outraged—'The cops shouldn't have shot him!' What the hell was he doing with the poundcake in his hand?"

The 18-year-old shot and killed on Aug. 9 by Ferguson police was not caught with poundcake. Michael Brown had shoplifted cigars from a convenience store. On Aug. 15, the police released a video of the theft and the 6-foot-4-inch, nearly 300-pound teen violently shoving, shaking and threatening the store clerk.

Mr. Cosby is not the only black person to ask about the troubling excuses that so many civil-rights leaders are making for criminal behavior. In 1993, Jesse Jackson told organizers in Chicago: "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved."

Am I crazy to wonder if the impending Ferguson riots and the narrative that the left wants to promote has to do with a number of women suddenly remembering that Bill Cosby raped them?

This is how crazy people on the left, like Amanda Hess, see Bill Cosby.

Cosby’s modern activism takes the form of a conservatism that discounts rap and blames black men for their subjugation. If we see Cosby’s sexual-assault allegations as a relic of the past, it’s partly because we also see Cosby that way.

Now I know you're thinking "Well, Bill Cosby's is not really a conservative." Right, and I'll add that if he really was, he would have been character-assassinated long before now. But my theory is that the time is ripe for the left to destroy him before his now-canceled Netflix special gave him any more press spots where he could continue to contradict the established Ferguson narrative even more than he already has.

By the way, I'm not saying Cosby is innocent at all. But the timing of these revelations tell you everything you need to know about their objective. This media fire-storm has all the markings of a concerted effort to squelch free speech from someone known to make unpopular comments about the problems in the black community.

A question for all you math whizzes out there

My question is this: what race or racial mix will the next first black President of the United States be? I mean, OK, the first first black President was 100% white. (Yes, you are reading these sentences correctly.) Then the second first black President, Barack Obama, is actually not black but bi-racial, we are reminded.

So is the next first black President going to be 100% black or three quarters black? Or maybe some other mix entirely? Or maybe Indian? I'm of the mind that he or she will be 3/4 black, then we'll go 7/8, then 15/16, etc. and we will never get a 100% pure black man or woman as the President. What is this opinion based on? That's a good question, and I'll see if I can maybe come up with something, or maybe I'll ask some guy wearing a white sheet over his head.

Some people might be depressed when they realize that we might never get a prezzie with a perfect soul brother pedigree. But it's not really a big deal because no one is 100% white either. All us white folk have been mixed in with the descendants of Adam and Eve who were black. And that's a good thing, since the alternative is to be the evil creation of a crazy black Frankenstein named Yakub by using selective breeding and magnets.

Third Time's a Charm!

From RCP. I guess it figures that someone whose nickname is now "Mark Uterus" would make a huge Freudian slip on the campaign trail.

"I'm so proud of our country," Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) said as he introduced First Lady Michelle Obama at a campaign event on Thursday. "We showed that Dr. Martin Luther King [Jr.] had it right. Which is that in America, at our best, we judge people by the content of their color."

Udall quickly corrected himself.

"The content of their character, not the character of their skin," he said.

"I got it right. I got it both ways!" he said the audience which gave an audible reaction.

You meant you want to have it both ways, maybe.
