No, not the increasingly surreal lionization of the inherently noble welfare class and its valiant, underrepresented struggle against the predations of private sector capitalist villains who hoard all the money and resources that might otherwise be distributed in ways far more socially just (from each according to his ability, to each according to his need!). That’s a cultural phenomenon worth promoting. Because of the fairness.
Instead, what I’m talking about is even more pressing: namely, the overdetermined attaction of “queers” to their white queer counterparts, whose presumptuous Caucasian attractiveness is likely due to years of white privilege and power, which unfairly increases the social nodal points that add up to overall attraction. And therefore must be consciously resisted, if there is to be any queer sexual justice.
We “find ourselves falling always for the white queers… wishing we could have more agency in the process, be more intentional about who we desire and how,” reads the official Facebook description of the event.
“We are invested in generating a politics of sexuality that compels us to interrogate beauty as privilege and constructed by systems of white supremacy, ableism, capitalism, and heteronormativity,” it continues.
The Facebook page states the event is to take place in the Crystal Room at Brown University on April 8 from 6-7:30 p.m. The workshop called “Protect me from what I want: a workshop on privilege, power, and desire” is sponsored by an organization called the Comprehensive Allyship Network, according to the Facebook event page.
After two artistic performances, participants will apparently be directed to separate between [People of Color] POCs and Caucasians before continuing the discussion.
“We will break into POC and White caucus groups for a part of the workshop to unpack some of our specific experiences of racialized desire,” reads the event description. “This will be an intentional, anti-racist, and feminist space.”
— with “intentional, anti-racist, and feminist space” apparently being defined as one in which people are taught that their natural attractions are but social constructs (though, not the fact of their queerness, of course, which is hardwired and therefore a condition that needs be afforded certain broadly-defined “civil rights”) — and that to overcome them, they must be broken into constituent racial groups and encouraged to find a way to manufacture attraction, or at least come to understand what it is about the queer racial Other that prevents one from forming the proper quotas for interracial queer couples such that white queers continue to get the bulk of queer attraction.
Or, if you prefer, “intentional, anti-racist, and feminist space” is being defined as “white guilt for the queer set.”
— Which, guess there’s a certain pleasing irony to that, I guess.
You’re here, you’re queer, you’re racist! Get used to it!

the black gay people have much higher rates of the pesky stds including the hiv and et cetera than do the white gay people
it’s a true fact i read it on the internet

“We are invested in generating a politics of sexuality that compels us to interrogate beauty as privilege and constructed by systems of white supremacy, ableism, capitalism, and heteronormativity,” it continues.
“We are invested” — indicating the penetration of economic ways of thinking into the manifestly more warlike ways of politics . . .
“in generating” — this is code for fucking, or in the sacral speech of science, procreating, assuring a glance backward at that untoward heteronorm to be eschewed . . .
“a politics of sexuality” — plays, even possibly ironically, with the reintroduction of the oldest war game . . .
“that compels us” — poses a simple recognition of the natural lack of freedom, i.e., a compulsion inescapable in any serious sense in human affairs . . .
“to interrogate beauty” — the insistent urge at the unbrown Browns for returning to Plato’s Symposium for answers at their perplexities in school . . .
“as privilege — hierarchies, we’ll have none . . .
“and constructed by systems — see? it’s still the Universe (missing from the University) pushing people around, mechanically, they might say . . .
“of white supremacy, abelism, capitalism, and heteronormativity,” — everyone loves to make lists, where e’re they list . . .
“it continues” — Oh jesus, does it ever continue. Endlessly.
So if I’m parsing this correctly, “Pray the Gay Away” is a notion suitable only for derisive mockery, but “Workshop to Unpack Our Racialized Desires” is absolutely commendable. We have no control over who we find attractive, except when we do. It’s quantum chromo(sexual)dynamics!
Gonna take me a while to get my brain wrapped around that one…

So THAT’S why they can’t bear to believe being gay is a choice — if it is, then finding pasty gays more attractive than swarthy ones is also a choice! And being racist kind of turns the “homophobe” brickbat into more of a Nerf bat. That squeaks when it hits.
It can only be a god conferred blessing that cunture — the “n” representing an oppositional receptacle shape over-against that loathsome phallic “l” — hasn’t caught on in the common speech.
Being gay is totally a choice. I’ve spoken to many newly minted lesbians who have informed me that they had ‘decided” they were gay.
Likewise, a lot of male loafers will latch onto older male sugar daddies for the swag.
So we have a third world, a second world, and a first world, based on advancement and productivity and material wealth.
I propose a “Zero World” where these “advancements” have become pathological and create a social context where the deliberately useless can engage in fantasy “gaming” of life over manufactured drama and grotesque trivialties.
Someone has probably already proposed that idea, but I’m so filled with ennui that I can’t be bothered to check.
So this is a “zeroth world problem.”
pedophiles who find white kids more attractive should get a hate crime added to their charges.
Sew everyone’s eyes shut. Problem solved.
Sew everyone’s eyes shut. Problem solved.
Only if you make them wear boxing gloves too.
So we have a third world, a second world, and a first world, based on advancement and productivity and material wealth.
We don’t use such terms any more, because it makes it sound as if the second and third worlds aren’t as good as the first world, and it’s not our place to make such value judgements.
Nowadays, we say “developing” and “developed” countries, which I guess would make your proposal applicable to “overdeveloped” countries, which actually seems pretty damn appropriate.
Heh. And nose clips, I suppose.
So the left have made it so that gay people can love WHOEVER THEY WANT (so long as they do so within certain guidelines and quotas designed to reduce ethnic discrimination).
o/t but calling all small business owners. Friend and I are trying to focus this issue on one blog.

So basically, who you ‘do’ indicates some deep, dark racist lust crimes. Fabulous!
