t is a miracle every time that I can keep my head from spontaneously cumbusting, too much open space in the world, its easy to get lost in.
sometimes I slide my hand into the front of my pants just to make sure, really, I hate to bring religion into all this, but you know...

This goes out to all of you mean fuckers who like to make me feel small, and this is for mrs. nelson a third grade teacher who only gives one hall pass a week, damn the boogy monster, and big bird,
hail Hitler in your sleep, and screw anyone who cringes or falters and falls behind, feel free to step on me mother fucker, cause I can take it.

Speaking of Hitler, I had a friend who one day shows up to political science 101 with his pants tucked into his knee high black boots, besides the fashion crime the startling thing about the boots was the bright and shiny swastikas, he came in late walking a crossed the front of class he says loudly, "like my jew stompers? Got them on Ebay." If you hadn't noticed earlier in the paragraph I used the word
-HAD- to describe the status of our friendship. All ties that he and I had ended there, but it was strange, we had known each other for years, and he never let on about his racest views. It all came 'out of the closet' on that fateful jew stomping morning in political science class. He got his ass beat, after a long day of raciest comments and a lot of white power propaganda, yeah beat down pretty good. The odd thing was, it was by five big white guys.

This whole thing with my friend being a closet case racist, got my mind moving on the idea of being politically correct. Now if he had said 'Hey everybody, I am gay,' I would have accepted him, I would have tolerated him telling me he thinks my male cousins or roomates are hot, and so would most of you, but not ten years ago.
But in this case, my good friend says to me, 'I hate blacks jews gooks and gays,' and I tell him to take a hike, and so would most of you. I think about my hateful friend sometimes, and I wonder, Shouldn't we tolerate his disgusting behavior?

Yep, welcome to the land of the bottom line...

Just a few links:

Shouldn't we tolerate his disgusting behavior?

on tolerance

he says loudly, "like my jew stompers?

on the relationship between language and racism; more on racism here;

the bright and shiny swastikas

on fascist clothing.

And finally, on a personal note:

I would have tolerated him telling me he thinks my male cousins or roomates are hot, and so would most of you, but not ten years ago.

Firstly, I think many of us would have "tolerated" that ten years ago, thanks; secondly, I have no idea why you are drawing a parallel between someone saying "I think X is attractive" and someone else saying, in effect, "I think all members of a particular racial/cultural group are inferior and should be subjected to violence." I'd ask you to make the parallel more explicit, but I don't think I want to hear it, actually.

Swastikas on his boots? That's rather unusual for SS uniforms. He got them on eBay, you say?

I'm interested in the topic abstract: where's my motivation?

I dont know you guys, it was one of those things that made sense while drunk? upon a hungover re-examination,...
What I was getting at is how fickle prejudice is, thiry years ago people would say and do all sorts of evil and mean things to eachother in this country, becuase of any little difference, and it was widely accepted. I think that it is perhaps becuase of the shame that we have for the actions of our fathers that has brought about such a drastic change and so quickly, this is a good thing.

About not being accepting of homosexuality, ten years ago you could read about people being beaten to death for their sexual preference,
I myself had my ass kicked a couple of times for being friends with a gay guy. That never stopped me, I was willing to stand beside him, regardless of what others said or thought of him, but I would not stand beside my racest friend. Becuase what he was doing was wrong?
Yeah, that had a lot to do with it, but being a jew, hearing my grandmother recount living through all of that shit, makes me pretty hard noised about this type of 'personal view'. But he was my friend, and when I drink to much, sometimes I feel a little 'motivated' to extend some acceptance and understanding his way. as long as he doesn't stomp on me, right?

Nothing wrong with that sort of feeling, I guess, as long as you remember that not everybody can be saved. There's certainly no point in risking a beating to try and get your friend to see the error of his ways.

Also, I think you'll find people can be and are still beaten to death for being gay these days. What was the name of that guy who got dragged behind a pick-up truck and handcuffed to a fence by those two redneck twats who will one day burn in Hell?

I find it very amusing to consider the statement "Hey, I'm a racist!" in the same sense one would "Hey, I'm gay!"

Poor dear.

Matthew Shepard.

Although there are some who believe that it's Shepard himself who's in the eternal hot-box...

Any messages containing obscene, pejorative or hostile language will not be personally responded to.

Any messages containing threats of physical violence (including death) will be immediately reported to the FBI and your ISP. Yes, the FBI does take email threats seriously, and yes, they will find you and come to your house and ask you about it.

If your only purpose is to rant and rave, don't waste your time. We've already seen it.


Now there's a man who relishes the free exchange of ideas!

And as an added bonus, if you send the Reverend Phelps a death threat, you get to waste the FBI's time as well! What a result!

I've already proposed it be moved once and had it rejected. I will - however - endeavour again.
