Dave Chappelle: MAGA fears Black sports

Dave Chappelle and Muhammad Ali were right about Jack Johnson

There was a "Mann Act" (previously called the White-Slave Traffic Act, a U.S. federal law passed in the summer of 1910, Ch. 395, 36 Stat. 825, codified as amended at 18 U.S.C. §§ 2421–2424) named after [racist American] Congressman James Robert Mann of Illinois), and the white 54th Gov. of NY Eliot Spitzer was going to be prosecuted under it decades later for his prostitution scandal?

Dave Chappelle nails why MAGA fears Black history

Jack Johnson (boxer)

(TYT Sports) Sept. 29, 2025: A resurfaced Dave Chappelle standup comedy bit about legendary Black heavyweight champion Jack Johnson perfectly captures why MAGA’s crusade to rewrite and erase history is so dangerous. Johnson’s story exposed the fragility of white supremacy in the boxing ring and beyond — and the violent backlash that followed. As Rick Strom explains, Chappelle’s comedy reveals deeper truths about America’s refusal to confront racism, and why protecting Black history is essential. #TYTsports #Sports #RickStrom

Dave Chappelle and Muhammad Ali were right about Jack Johnson

(Lu Mazing) Aug. 22, 2025: Jack Johnson was more than a boxing champion, he was a revolutionary figure who challenged a racially divided world. Dave Chappelle highlights how Johnson defeated white champions and lived boldly without fear, openly defying the rules of his time and inspiring generations of Black people to embrace courage and self-worth.

Muhammad Ali reminds us of the sheer bravery of Johnson standing completely alone, facing threats and hostility when there were no civil rights organizations to support him. His resilience became a symbol for all Black people to fight for dignity and pursue their dreams.

Donald Trump posthumously pardoned Johnson, acknowledging the injustice he endured under the racist Mann Act, recognizing his extraordinary achievements and legacy as a trailblazer in sports and society. This video brings together perspectives from comedy, sports, and history to show how Jack Johnson changed the world and why his courage continues to inspire us all.

'Pornography Wars' in US history (video)

Letters & Politics: The Pornography Wars

Assoc. Professor Kelsy Burke, U of Nebraska

(KPFA Radio) Streamed live from Berkeley, California, on June 23, 2023 (rebroadcast on July 21, 2025, in Los Angeles):

Host Mitch Jeserich with guest Associate Professor of Sociology of Religion Kelsy Burke at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She is the author of The Pornography Wars: The Past, Present, and Future of America’s Obscene Obsession. KPFA.org #kpfa #kpfaradio #MitchJeserich #news

• The Pornography Wars | KPFA

Past, Present, Future of America’s Obscene Obsession

In the 1960s, sex researchers Masters and Johnson declared the end of the fake orgasm. Nearly two decades later, in 1982, evangelical activist Tim LaHaye foretold that the entire pornography industry would soon be driven out of business.

Neither prediction proved true. Instead, with the rise of the internet, pornography saturates the American conscience more than ever and has reshaped our understanding of sexuality, relationships, media, and even the nature of addiction.

American sociologist Dr. Kelsy Burke has spent the last five years researching and interviewing internet pornography's opponents and its sympathizers.

In The Pornography Wars, Prof. Burke does a deep dive into the long history of pornography in America and then turns her gaze on our present society to examine the ways this industry touches on the most intimate parts of American lives.

She offers a complete understanding of the major players in the debates around porn's place in society: everyone from sex workers, activists, therapists, religious leaders, and consumers.

In doing so, she addresses and debunks the myths that surround porn and porn usage while showing how everything from the way we teach children about sex to the legal protections for what can be published is tied up in the deeply complicated battles over pornography.

Sweeping, savvy, and deeply researched, The Pornography Wars is a necessary and comprehensive new look at pornography and American life. More

Something worse than porn?

The Girl Samurai Master: Sasaki Rui

The story of 17th century swordswoman Rui-San

Kabukimono ancient cross dresser

Real-life samurai Sasaki Rui (佐々木 累), or Rui-San, was a Japanese swordswoman, Onna-musha and kenjutsu expert of the early Edo period (mid-17th century). She was known as the "Strangely Dressed Female Sword Master" [1, 2, 3].

Life of Sasaki Rui

Sasaki was born in Koga domain, located in Shimōsa province (modern-day Koga, Ibaraki), exact birthdate unknown. Her father Sasaki Uōto was a member of a clan of kenjutsu masters in service to Doi Toshikatsu and was thoroughly versed in the martial arts.

Samurai attacking on horseback (LACMA)

Ancient samurai in his armor, 1860s

Since Rui-San had no brothers and her attempts to take a husband ended in divorce, upon her father's death from illness the Sasaki clan name became extinct [1, 2, 3].

Rui-San went to Edo, where she rented a house in present-day Asakusa and began teaching the martial arts.

At the same time that her teaching was becoming well-known, she began to be famous for her unusual dress:

Haori crepe formal Japanese jacket

She would leave the house wearing a black silk crepe haori (a man's garment at the time) emblazoned with the Sasaki family crest, her hair done up in an indoor style with hairpins, and wearing the samurai's long and short swords [1, 2, 3].

At that time, the ruffians known as kabukimono or hatamoto yakko were running rampant in Edo, and Rui-San began fighting with the "Shiroe" gang, among other groups [1, 2]. More

• Samurai women?

What was their religion?

Various samurai clans struggled for power during the Kamakura shogunate. Zen Buddhism spread among the samurai in the 13th century and helped shape their standards of conduct, particularly in overcoming the fear of death and [the wrongdoing of] killing. Among the general populace devotional Pure Land Buddhism was favored however. More

Marriage?

Samurai with wives and concubines, 1804

Samurai had arranged marriages, which were engineered by a go-between of the same or higher rank. While for those samurai in the upper ranks this was a necessity (as most had few opportunities to ever meet women), this was a formality for lower-ranked samurai.

Most samurai married women from a samurai family, but for lower-ranked samurai, marriages with commoners were permitted. In these marriages a dowry was brought by the woman and was used to set up the couple's new household.

A samurai could take concubines, but their backgrounds were checked by higher-ranked samurai. In many cases, taking a concubine was akin to a marriage. Kidnapping a concubine, although common in fiction, would have been shameful, if not criminal. More

Irish Zen poem on St. Patrick's Day

SAINT PATRICK'S DHARMA: Welcome to Zen Buddhism Ireland (ZBI) with Myozan Kodo (妙山興道). Years ago, on March 17th, he delivered a little talk on Irish history concerning a possibly ahistorical figure named "St. Paddy" to mark St. Patrick's Day. Rev. Myozan Kodo lives his Zen Buddhist spiritual tradition on the Emerald Isle at zenbuddhism.ie, which is open to all.

New traditions

Welcome to ZBI: Zen Buddhism Ireland - Zen Buddhism Ireland

.

Let's go beyond The Pale in Ireland

The Irish are nothing if not amazing storytellers. Our own resident poet, Seven O'Dhr, frequently performs his epic "Finnegan's Awake" to stunned crowds who cannot comprehend how there can be so many rhyming syllables delivered in a Gaelic cadence in what is ostensibly an all-English poem. The piece is, of course, a tip o' the hat to James Joyce and his magnum opus  Finnegans Wake, but both works are rooted in an old Dublin ditty everyone who's ever entered a pub has heard, "Finnegan's Wake." What now if the classic song were Buddhified? If the story of Saint Paddy can be, as certainly it was all dreamed up by the Church over the years to sanitize the genocide of the indigenous pagan "snakes" being chased off the snakeless island.

Finnegan's Wake (traditional)

"Finnegan's Wake" (Irish American comic ballad) Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners

Ballad of Tim Finnegan's Wake as explained and performed by The Clancy Brothers in Ireland

Tim Finnegan lived on Watlin Street

A gentleman Irish but mighty odd

Had a beautiful brogue so soft and sweet

To rise in the world he carried a hod

He had a sort of a tipplin' way

With a love of the liquor poor Tim was born

To help him on with his work each day

Had a drop of the craythur every morn

[CHORUS:]

Whack fol the dah of the di-do-day

Dance with your partner

Welt the floor your trotters shake

Wasn't it the truth I told?

Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!

One mornin' Tim felt rather full

His head felt so heavy it made him shake

Fell from a ladder and dashed his skull

They carried him home his corpse to wake

Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet

Laid him out upon the bed

A bottle of whiskey at his feet

A barrel of porter at his head

[CHORUS]

His friends assembled at the wake

And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch

First they brung in tea and cake

Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch

Biddy O'Brien began to cry

"Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see?

Tim mavourneen why'd you go and die?"

Arragh shut your gob said Paddy McGee!

[CHORUS]

Patty O'Connor took up the job

"Ah Biddy" says she "you're wrong I'm sure!"

Biddy gave her a belt on the gob

That sent her sprawlin' on the floor

Then a war did soon engage

It was woman to woman and man to man

Shillelagh-law was all the rage

And a row and a ruction soon began

Mickey Maloney lowered his head

As a bottle of whiskey flew at him

Missed and fallin' on the bed

The liquor sprinkled all over Tim!

Tim revives see how he rises!

Timothy risin' from the bed

Sayin' "Whirl your liquor around like blazes

Thunderin' Jaysus do you think I'm dead?"

[CHORUS]

Finnegan's Awake (Zen version)

Seven O'Dhr for Wisdom Quarterly, St. Patrick's Day 2025

.

Tim Finnegan did BE across kinhin street

A gentleman Irish but Almighty Odd

Had a beautiful OM so soft 'n sweet

To rise above the world, he sat in the sod

Tippin' over wave and save: awake!

He had a sort of a tippin' wave

With a love of Hardcore Zen Tim was reborn

To help him on with his work each day

Had a talk with the master every morn

[CHORUS:]

Work for the title of the Died-All-Day

Breathe with your partners

Welt the floor then your trousers shake

Wasn't it the Four Truths I told you?

Lots o' fun now that Finnegan's awake!

Welt the floor then trousers shake

One mornin' Tim felt rather dull

His head felt so sleepy it made him wave

Tipped right over and dashed his skull

He sprawled out his corpse to wake

Rolled his'self up in a nice bright sheet

Reclined his'self in lion's pose in bed

All bottled up frisky with cold feet

A barrel of sake's good till you're dead

[CHORUS]

His friends assembled at the wake

Then Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch

First they brung in green tea 'n cake,

Zen bamboo flutes with a sake punch

Biddy O'Brien began to cry,

"Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see?

Tim's in satori and he might die!"

Arragh, shut your gob said Paddy McGee!

[CHORUS]

Roshi O'Connor took up the job

"Ah Biddy," said he, "you're wrong, I'm sure!"

Then Biddy gave him a wordless belt on the gob

That sent him sprawlin' on the floor

Keisaku: Seven temples to experience Zen sitting meditation (zazen) (Jatrabridge)

The keisaku is to awaken, but the shippei...

Then a debate did soon engage

It was man on woman and woman on man

Shippei-law was all the rage

And a row and a ruction soon began

Flicky Baloney lowered his head

As bottled-up frisky flew out of him

Missed and fallin' on the bed

The life sprinkled and touched ol' Tim!

Tim revives! See how he rises!

Timothy risin' from his deathbed

Sayin', "Whirl your hurl 'round like blazes

Thunderin' Dōgen, do you think I'm dead?"
