Aww, thanks, girl. You finally took sides and chose me! - No, I just went against Trump.

Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris. Will it push her over the top?
And it finally happened: TayTay went Dixie
Kamala Devi Harris had a great night. She not only won the debate (even though she had a lot to answer for and many things someone better than Trump could have made much of), but now she got what Biden was never ever to get: Taylor "Nazi Barbie" Swift's political endorsement.
Girl power! Of course, it's a safe choice for T-Dog at this point. Even war criminals Dick and Bush back Kamala. It's like when Obama was (s)elected. Everyone in the know just got behind him out of nowhere, and we thought it was a momentous thing for a post-racial country.
(The Daily Show) Jon Stewart reviews the big debate
But the trick was on us. Obama, in spite of looking great in the part and being a worldclass orator, did many things Dick Cheney and G.W. Bush could only dream of doing and getting past the American people, like
the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act),
backed multiple wars,
did whatever the powers that be wanted,
argued against prosecuting past crimes (because they were in the past),
becoming "Deporter in Chief,"
lying with a straight face,
being married to a transgender man named Michael,
those things attorney Andrew D. Basiago said about him,
being gay and smoking crack and having the firsthand witness talking about it offed,
getting into a fight with a more recent lover then beating him to death with no questions asked.
Gay, philandering, drug addict Barry Obama?
Of course, it sounds preposterous, but when you're that deep in the Swamp, it's actually not that farfetched. Hillary and/or Bill Clinton had a man named Vince Foster killed, it is widely rumored. It's just the way Washington politics are played nowadays. In any case, RFK Jr. said it best: There goes whatever was left of the Party when even the incarnation of evil Dick Cheney is happy to back a pro-war candidate so that everything can stay the same as if Biden were fit enough to continue his puppet show.
In the award-winning Korean-American movie Minari, there is a touching scene. The Korean daughter is having a tough time fitting in in Whiteland, USA. She's pretty, but she's not white. Then one day, by an act of God, a popular blonde girl approaches her and speaks. It's all going to be okay after all; she's being accepted by the cool kids! The blonde asks, Can I say something in your language and you stop me as soon as I say something you understand? I want to see if I'm speaking correctly?
Trump loves white children just like Adolf did.
The Korean girl is mesmerized -- She's talking to me! She wants my opinion! She's learned my language to be able to communicate with me! She's the bridging the gap! Sure, I can do that, the Korean girl answers. Then the blonde girl says this (winning the movie Oscar nominations in the process), "Ching-chong, ching-chong, ching-chong."
America first means white nationalists first.
She and we are crushed, devastated. The blonde girl smiles cruelly. Are whites really that racist? Well, sometimes. It's not that whites went through Scouts and Brownie training (America's Hitler Youth and Brown Shirts programs for boys and girls), so much as it is a general insensitivity. Look at this white rapper appropriating Black culture to diss an Asian segment of the population. Come on, it's all in fun. She's just trying to go viral:

Is interracial lesbianism without marriage allowed between Ashkenazi Zionist Jews and Arabs?
Lehava: The Israeli Group Keeping Jewish/Arab Lovers Apart
(Journeyman Pictures) Have sex if you have to, Ashkenazi Jewish girls, but avoid marriage with an Arab at all costs. Think of your father!
Make love to me? - I can't. The State will kill us.
Unholy Matrimony: Meet the far-right Israeli group campaigning to ban marriage between Jewish and Arab [Muslim?] couples.
A far-right Israeli group is trying to end intermarriage and enforce strict separation between Jews and Arabs.
[It's just like old-timey American anti-miscegenation laws that tried to keep WASPs away from Blacks, and Christians away from Latinos and Chinese and Southern Europeans and those d*mn Irish, none of whom were "white," a socially constructed racial category that eventually let Ashkenazi and some Sephardic Jews in if they were of the right shade or looked enough like the Goyim to "pass" as white.]
Knesset member Itamar Ben-Givr and radical extremist Bentzi Gopstein (right) in 2022.

I'm not racist, but I agree with these Jews.
This report meets the Lehava leaderBentzi Gopstein and follows the group's campaign.
"Hundreds of people demonstrated outside...people wanted to ruin it."
It should have been a celebration of love, but Mahmoud Mansour and Morel Malka's wedding became a target for hate and created a national storm.
As their typical Middle Eastern reception got underway, an angry mob of intolerant Jews were calling for the Jewish bride to leave her Palestinian groom.
Lehava, the far-right group behind the violent protests, has a clear aim: to enforce the strict separation of Arabs and Jews.
Keep him away from girl Jews. - Yes, Furher.
"We came here to establish a Jewish state and if they do something that isn't right, we have every right to stand against it," leader Bentzi Gopstein declared.
In the cosmopolitan beachside city of Tel Aviv, the group take to the streets with megaphones [like neo-Nazis in khaki marching in American cities] warning Arab men [whom they refer to as "sand n****rs"] to stay away from "their" women.
They even target kids, with school playgrounds plastered with Lehava's stickers. And as the racist movement grows, [Grand Dragon] Bentzi boasts that he enjoys tacit approval from some Israeli politicians.
"Some people say, 'Well done, but don't tell anyone I said that.'"

Royally screwed: The end of Harry and Meghan’s fairytale marriage
(Sky News Australia) The Ginger and The Whinger, professional complainers -- are headed for divorce court. That's right. Prince Duke Harry [Windsor] and Duchess Meghan Markle, known as the Sussexes, are doomed. They won't make it past the Seven Year Itch.
Divorce? If well-sourced rumors are to be believed then, sadly, the answer is yes.
We were all there when Meghan and Harry fell in love, tied the knot, and made a beautiful fairytale family combining Black and extraterrestrial DNA.
You made the wrong choice, Hairly.
But even the rich and famous, the royal and beautiful, aren’t immune to the realities of life. Career and family pressures have caused a rift between the previously loving couple, with those famous PDAs (public displays of affection) reportedly being replaced by separate bedrooms and meetings with conniving divorce lawyers.
Sky News All-Stars Megyn Kelly, Angela Levin, and Esther Krakue take a look at how it all went wrong for the Sussexes. Sky News All Stars

Doja Cat explains "Juicy" to a classical music expert | Classical Kyle
(Capital XTRA) [American Doja is plenty comfortable, but poor British Kyle!] After the release of her latest album Hot Pink, rapper Doja Cat has become one of the most talked-about female rappers in the game.
Why you so embarrassed? It's just sex!
So naturally she had to sit down and explain her viral hit "Juicy" with Capital XTRA's classical music expert Kyle Macdonald.
As soon as he found out "Juicy" was about butts, the awkwardness began, and it didn't stop there. After discussing Doja's "cat," Kyle got a little lesson in twerking from the rising hip hop star and even found out the correct way to call his wife a "shnaaack." Another classic in the much-loved series. #ClassicalKyle#DojaCat #Juicy

There is an alleged "photograph of the Buddha." It is a beautiful picture of a beautiful man sitting under a tree in a forest, but it has pretty much been debunked as a fake because, although it looks like him, it does not in all places look like a photograph. Some parts seem painted. Then a giant mural by an Italian artist was revealed as the source of a close-up photograph of that portion of the mural. However, did the artist see the picture and paint it into his mural, or did the mural get photographed and promoted as an actual snapshot?
(MLord andGod) March 23, 2021: Eyewitness saw Jesus Christ and described him in a written letter that still exists and can be examined in the U.S. Library of Congress? Unlikely. One would think this would be much more famous if it were true, given that the only biblical description of the central figure is written about a dream in Revelation by a visionary who did not see the physical historical person just a dream of a god who was Black with wool like hair and skin of burnt bronze, an African. The Letter of Lentulus describes Jesus of Nazareth in great detail to Roman Emperor Ceasar in Rome, giving him chestnut hair and making him a tall Nordic type rather than the shorter, darker Black Egyptian or Israelite he would have been.
(Metatron, July 25, 2021) What did Jesus REALLY look like? Ethnicity, hair, skin, eyes, body type. Let's take a methodical, systematic, rigorous, and intellectually honest approach to figuring out these questions.
We know what the Buddha looked like, even though there was a long history of not making human images of him (as in the case of Islam's Mohammed) in proto-India. But in his own land, Gandhara/Scythia/Bactria/Shakya Land, there was no such injunction. His people made the first anthropomorphic representations. They appear in Gandharan (Greco-Buddhist) art from Afghanistan (particularly in Bamiyan and Mes Aynak) and Pakistan around Taxila (Takkasila), formerly the NW frontier of India.
I'm racist. How racist are you? Are we all more racist than we realize or more than we would like to admit?
For this Channel 4 documentary Jane Elliott, a controversial former American schoolteacher from Iowa, recreates the shocking exercise she used beginning 40 years ago to teach her 9-year-old students about racial prejudice.
So what if I have blue eyes? I will bite you!
Elliott asks 30 adult British volunteers -- men and women of different ages and backgrounds -- to experience inequality based on their eye color. What this shows is how susceptible we can all be to bigotry in ourselves. We see what it feels like to be on the receiving end of arbitrary discrimination.
Does Elliott's exercise have anything to teach now in these enlightened times or outside the USA?
Presented by Krishnan Guru-Murthy, the exercise is overlooked by two expert psychologists, Prof. Dominic Abrams and Dr. Funkรฉ Baffour, who unpick the behavior on display. This is the full version first shown on Channel 4 in England on October 29, 2009.
We have never understood all of the rancor. So what if Rachel Dolezal (doe-lay-jhal) wants to be black? Let her identify as black. We think she already is socially black.
Does she enjoy white privilege like she used to? [Maybe, in which case she should own it and check her privilege, but she was working for the NAACP helping blacks! Her siblings are all black, as is her husband and child.]
Can some blacks "pass" and implicitly go around being "white"? Of course. It already happens. Blacks, as a group, are lower down on the socioeconomic scale and therefore on the social ranking in our racist nation. Face it.
We're not saying it should be so or that we're going to let it remain so; we're saying it already is so. And as the scholar Dr. Cornel West says, it's out there. We all know the stereotypes and the jokes. It's not secret. And tiptoeing around like no one knows is not serving anyone.
(NBC Nightly News) "Race is a fluid social construct" says Dolezal
We're black, but our cousins pass as white.
Blacks are lower on the American totem pole, but they have a few advantages. Is Dolezal a moocher, a race usurper? Is she a rap star looking for easy/unearned cred?
No, she was raised black and identifies that way. Be what you want. There's already an offense word for it (begins with a W) used about suburban kids who think they're down and legit.
If I was born, ugh, a man but want everyone to call me "Loretta," that's my right! If we are so gender-fluid as a society, why not racially?
Mexican "race"?
I'm Latina, Hispanic, Mexican
Most Mexicans (almost all of them) are Native American but neither identify that way nor get that credit. Most Mexicans are European/Spanish but whether or not they identify that way they don't get that credit. What is a "Mexican"?
It is being a BLEND of both. There are indigenous (los indigena) who look indigenous and are derisively called "Indios" because it's implicitly better to be lighter, more European, closer to your Spanish/Iberian connection, your white side of the family, the likelier source of your riches and social influence.
I'm white (German) Mexican
But there comes a time when you identify with being brown (possibly Chicano/a/x) not pale (huero). Who says "race," a social construct, is strictly biological? Is sex (gender) that way? Is any label that way? Making fun of Rachel may be fun, but cut her some slack. It seems all of this anger at her is really anger and discomfort at our F'd up race relations and the inner turmoil most of us have about it.
CONCLUSION: She's biologically white and socially black. In the US, as in Mexico which is more blatant about it, you are what you look like. Why? Because you will be treated that way sight seen. (On the phone and over the WWW, it's sight unseen based on your voice, speech, and content). You are alsowhat you act like because you will be treated that way when people interact with you. And there is a social science principle behind all of this: We are not what we think we are. We are not what others think we are. We are what we think others think we are. So she's a white black person. She has the right and privilege to identify that way. Get off her back.
(Doormat Lauer/NBC) "I identify as black." What's so hard to understand? Don't label me. Don't try to be put me in your box. Don't tell me
Dear White People follows the stories of four black students at Winchester University, where a riot breaks out over a popular "African American" themed party thrown by a white fraternity. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film explores racial identity in "post-racial" America while weaving a universal story of forging one's unique path in the world. Lionsgate, Rated R, released 2014, runs 1:48:29.
