@7, let me guess, you are in the local film community and at one point you or one of your equally lame friends made a shitty local film and Lindy West pointed out the shit factor in said film (which is her job) and now you have dedicated your meaningless existence to attacking her every chance you can....sound accurate? Well, that is absolutely in no way pathetic and YOU ARE THE WINNER!

Thank you everyone for your kind words, I am glad you liked it.
Also
@37 Just to clarify, both of my children are from my first marriage, they have the same mother and I have been raising them as the custodial parent since we divorced... I am not my father. And the "2 ex wives that I hate" on my website.. that is a joke....you know....in that series of jokes....that it was in the middle of. I don't hate them, I have a perfectly fine relationship with them. I just thought it was a funny juxtaposition.

@176 I will bring that up at the next black person meeting, you idiot. What you fail to grasp is that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about "police your own", there are no "kinds" of people, there are just people. You choose to segregate, you choose to make things worse, I try to make things better, maybe you can bring some of these issues up at your next "horrible human being" meeting. I'm doing my part, if you don't want to do yours, I don't care, you are a sad, pathetic excuse for a person and I am done with you.

@171
Allow me to play devil’s advocate for a moment. The VAST majority of the advances made in the realm of medical engineering, technological invention, financial entrepeneurship and political legislation in the past 200 years or so was achieved by men…that is indisputable. The vast majority of those men were married and their wives took care of the domestic duties, cooked, cleaned, raised children, etc. So, you could make an argument (again, devil’s advocate) that it for the benefit of the world that women stay in the kitchen so that their more capable male counterparts take care of running the world (I mean, if women were capable, wouldn’t they have done it? You’re not going to blame “the man” for this, are you?). You could argue that women deserve to be treated as subservient to men (again, I don’t believe any of this).
Continuing this FALSE argument, the majority of prostitutes are women, so I guess by your logic, you cant blame men for treating women like prostitutes…I mean, if women didn’t want to treated like prostitutes then maybe so many women shouldn’t be prostitutes. I mean, you are arguing that it is ok to hate black people because it’s a numbers game and a higher percentage of black people commit crimes…so clearly, it is ok to view all women as prostitutes because a much higher percentage of them are prostitutes compared to their male counterparts…it’s a numbers game, right?
AGAIN, EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID SO FAR IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT.
You and I know that none of that is true, there is no such thing as a more capable gender or race or ethnicity, people are people. You know that the historical and current 2nd class status of women (that is not my opinion of women, I am just acknowledging that is how they are treated by society as a whole) in this country is a RESULT of societal oppression, not a justification for it. You say that you ”hate black people” (verbatim), but that I, personally, do not deserve hatred…well here’s the thing, every black person is an individual person (crazy, huh?), just like every woman is a person…and because every black person also happens to be an individual person, they all deserve to be treated as such, to not be branded as this thing, this criminal, this deviant, before they have a chance to fulfill their potential. Of course you have a right to “hate black people”, but know, by doing so, you are making things worse, by advocating that viewpoint you are helping to continue a cycle.
How does equality happen? How does change happen? Lets take women for example, it takes strong women who stand up for their rights and lead by example, but that’s not enough. It also takes a shift in the mentality of our society, it takes everyone, men included, working to spread the OBVIOUS truth that women are not objects, women should not be the servants of men, women are equally capable and equally valuable…and the men that say “if women don’t want to be treated like whores, then they shouldn’t act like it” are an enemy of that progress, they are an enemy of making the world a better place.
It is the same situation for Black Americans, change certainly takes strong black people who stand up for their rights and lead by example (you said “start a website” or something…you realize there are thousands of websites made by black people aimed to make improvements in the black community, right?) , but again, that is not enough. It takes a simultaneous shift in the mentality of all Americans, including you, to push forward. So, of course you have a right to say you hate black people, but by doing so you are making a direct effort to inhibit progress and directly working to continue the issues that you are complaining about.

@167, let me ask you one last question, I just want to make sure I understand your logic. I am a black man, I am a single father, I have had custody of my children since their mother and I divorced 6 years ago. She is white, she went years without seeing them and never paid a cent in child support. I have never been convicted of a crime in my life. I grew up poor, in the "black community", got a full scholarship to an elite private college and pay taxes every year... Now, If I understand correctly, you feel like I deserve to be hated because I happen to be black...I personally deserve to be despised as an individual human being?

Ahamefule J. Oluo commented on Racist Queers.
@123, let me just ask you, why did you feel the need to write your original comment? What was your motivation? Did you feel the need to make sure people knew it was ok to treat individuals poorly purely because of their race? Do you think you are helping to make the world better with your statements? I'm done disputing your absolutely insane and ignorant "reasoning", you are clearly beyond hope but luckily you are old and you will die soon. I just want to know why you felt your comments contributed anything to this conversation or the world as a whole...or is it possible that you are just a sad human being that, upon assessing the depressing mess that is their existence, looks for any excuse to make themselves feel superior to others??? I THINK WE HAVE A WINNER. I'm sure that will make you very happy in your few remaining years.

@107. Wow, that's so nice of you pat your neighbors on the head like that...you condescending fuck. "Black society" is a reflection of society as a whole, it is a reflection of how "White society" treats "Black society". The problems within the black community do not occur in a vacuum....seriously, why am I wasting my time on you..You know what, go ahead, feel superior, keep your mindset, I don't give a shit....god, your grand-kids are going to hate you sooooo much.

Ahamefule J. Oluo commented on Racist Queers.
Hey @94, Now, I am going to resist indulging my initial visceral reaction which would be to tell you to fuck off and die. I repeat, I am not telling you to fuck off and die...right now...right this second...in an incredibly painful and humiliating way. Instead, I am going to go the surely pointless route of trying to reason with you.
You say "I don't hate you because of the color of your skin. I hate you because of the damage you do to this society."...so, if we are to humor your "point" that black people, in general, do damage to society, let me ask you: What is it about black people that makes them so "destructive" to the moral fabric of this great nation? Are they (we...I am a black person)just prone to do damage because their skin is darker and that is where evil comes from? Is that the logical answer? that your pigmentation is directly related to your moral compass?..that doesn't seem very scientific to me so let's take another stab at it (we like to stab things).
If we can agree that it is a persons brain and not literally their skin that is the primary catalyst for their behavior, there must be some external force causing black people to "act out" in this way (what could it be???? what a great mystery this is!!!). On to the next bullet point (we like bullets).
I have always found the term "products of our environment" interesting because it is such an over-simplification, not only of this particular issue, but of environments as a whole. An environment is also a product of it's environment and so on, just like our environment in Seattle is partially a product of the environment on our planet and the environment on earth is a product of our distance to the sun, bla bla bla, etc, the environment of the black community CAN ONLY be a product of the larger environment of this (mostly white) country...that's just fucking science.
The higher crime, teenage pregnancy, high school dropout rates amount black Americans (facts I will not dispute) CAN ONLY be a fair reflection of this nations social environment as a whole. If we accept that the color of your skin does not DIRECTLY determine your behavior then we must accept that the negative aspects of the black community CAN ONLY be aspects that were primarily imposed upon it by the atmosphere that envelopes it...this is the only thing that makes sense.
These statistics are not valid reasons for racism, they can only be a reflection of racism that already exists.
Ok, I'm sure you read that entire thing and now you are a completely changed person and that was totally NOT a waste of my time (time I could have spent painting my initials on a wall) and...you are welcome, any time you get tired of being a fucking uneducated disgrace to humanity, please let me know and I will run to your aid.
On the OFF-CHANCE that you are simply a privileged racist fuck and look for any excuse to feel superior to other human being because deep down you realize how pathetic your own existence is (OFF-CHANCE), or you don't understand sarcasm. Let me revert to my initial response. PLEASE FUCK OFF AND DIE NOW!
