me: “So. Been awhile.”
hood:
me: “Just thought I’d get your reaction on the 40th anniversary of Loving v Virginia.”*
hood:
me: “You’re probably torn on this one, yes?”
hood:
me: “ I mean, on the one hand, it marked an end to state-enforced segregation—which, as is a civil rights issue, was certainly a step toward true racial equality, celebrating as it did the American ideal of free individuals making choices to enter into contracts that the government was powerless to regulate without showing a ‘compelling state interest.’”
hood:
me: “…On the other hand, the decision was hailed by certain overly-optimistic civil rights advocates of the time as a way toward physical integration of the races—the idea being that the commingling of ‘bloods’ would make the idea of racial distinctions hopelessly antiquated, and that as a result, social and policy considerations determined on the basis of race would eventually peter out of their own irrelevance…
hood:
me: “—that is, until the academic left began its campaign to save the distinctions by way of the feel-good ‘celebrating the differences’ imperative. Which, as a part of an identity politics paradigm made manifest in the social and political philosophy of multiculturalism, has done its best to keep alive the separate but equal spirit of Jim Crow—dividing the country up into competing and often hostile identity blocs whose self-segregating practices, born of a move away from assimilation and nationalism, do very little to honor the memory of Loving.
hood:
me: “In fact, if anything, such identity politics as are now practiced and exulted as ‘enlightened’ by many on the left—and by the progressive wing of the Democratic party —are really nothing more than the culturally-sanctioned stoking of racial grievances. It has, in effect, saved segregation by renaming it and taking it away from the racist state, where the Constitution could not allow it to survive—except in instances where a benevolent government has granted itself the right to dole out permission for discriminatory practices under the ‘ameliorative’ guise of race-based affirmative action.”
hood:
me: “So I guess you’ve got that going for you…”
hood: “Yeah, we’re pretty proud of that one, I have to admit. And the best part? We’ve trained a whole new generation of liberals to actually defend the practices.
me:
hood: “– which, I bet your people didn’t see that one coming while they were marching alongside the darkies and singing ‘we will overcome,’ did they, Jewboy?”
Geez. It’s like Hoist the Flag in reverse.
Let me be the first to call you a RACIST! today.
Reminds me of the Doonesbury strip of the college president and a black faculty member talking:
Prof: The black students are demonstrating again, President King.
Pres. King: What can they possibly want? We’ve given them their own dorms, their own departments…
Prof: They want their own drinking fountains.

Hey, I’ve got a cross thread theme!
Seriously, excellent post and very thought provoking.
Unless christine comes back. I anticipate…
RACIST WINGNUTS
In this case Jeff is a self loathing racist wingnut…
Hey… how about appointing Byrd to be special prosecutor in the Jefferson corruption case?
That’d be fun.
As if a Klansman’s hood would let jewboy slip out and balk at the n-word.
*laughs*
Hey, Protestantboy!
It just doesn’t work, does it?
Up is down, white is black, affirmative action and race-based government programs meant to level the playing field end up causing worse problems than the original ones, hot is cold….
Maybe that means that one day the jew hating retards at this rally will one day be looked on as Zionists? Because this makes no sense to me anymore.
Wow, I was in DC a couple of years ago during a Falun Gong rally that absolutely dwarfed this convocation of nutballs. Since the World was apparently demanding an end to Zioinst oppression, where was the World? The keffiyeh out at the cleaner’s that day?
semanticleo gets a case of the crabs.
Instead of going to the doctor, he shaves half his pubic hair, sets fire to the other half, and starts stabbing the little creatures with an ice pick.
Hilarity ensues.

I am still chuckling over this one.
Oh, JD,
That joke has been around for a lot of years. Where you been?
Still makes me laugh
Sometimes there is a good reason that a joke can stay around for years.
BJ – I believe it is a cross thread meme
JD
Theme, Meme; christine, ignoramous; liberal, screeching Socialist harpy.
You know … po – tay – to, po – tah – to …
Was that the BJTexs version of free-flowing word association ?
Let’s try that with the following …
Sementickleo
Moonbat
Rep. Pelosi
Bozo the Clown
Wee Man
Sematicleo – semantics clueless
Moonbat – Bitter Pill
Rep. Pelosi – Dustbrush Warrior
Bozo the Clown – Dennis Kucinich (without strings)
Wee Man – Oliver Willis (irony)
Back on topic:
That is what we like to refer to in the business as the money quote. We get shouted down as racists when we point out that affirmative action is government mandated/sanctioned racism.
You know, two wrongs, a right, etc.
Well done, Jeff!
If you were trying to do it like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, my list would still work well.
Sementickleo makes me think of moonbats. When I think of moonbats, Queen Mother Pelosi comes to mind. When I think of Pelosi, I picture Bozo the Clown. Since I am terrified of clowns, when I think of Bozo the Clown, I also think of Wee-Man, a midget, another set of people that I am terrified of. When I think of Wee-Man, sementickleo comes back to mind. Full circle, in 6 degrees.
Yeesh!
I’m betting there is a psychiatrist who has built a condo in the Bahamas on the treatment of your neurosis.
*sigh*
Mine bought a loaded Escalade…
I would suggest that my neurosis (I am horrible with plurals of words that end in -sis) are beyond the scope of treatment. Plus, I can never bring myself to tell my therapist (who is smoking hot) that I am deathly afraid of clowns and midgets.
Most -sis words change to -ses in the plural. (Almost spelled it “pleural” there; “neurosis” becomes “neuroses” when it gets in your lungs!)
Almost spelled it “pleural”
Whew!

You have a brilliant mind, Goldstein.
Thanks, Pellegri. I was hoping that someone would help me out there.
Were your arms crossed under your bosom when you said that ? :
Your best post in quite a while (not to say that your recent post have not been good, only that this one stands out as being really, really good).
Pres. King: Tough luck for them, all the available fountain areas have been converted to foot-washing stations. They should have put in their request before we acquiesced.
I never cease to be amazed at the serendipitous nature of life. “Loving.” Heh.
Allah-u akhbar!!
Awesome!!©
And Craig C. – Life is So Grand!!, at least!!
