			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Could <a href="http://www.nenenonsense.net/2012/02/sixth-sense-racism.html?zx=9eb31fcb40d123a1">racist detection</a> be the a 6th sense?</p>
<blockquote><p>Yesterday, I was texting my friend. I have seriously cut down on my term of racial euphemism, but referred to a &#8220;black.&#8221; Was it racist? Sorta? Maybe.</p>
<p>But things got more hilarious.</p>
<p>At the very time I texted that, one of my black friends IMed me, and a black co-worker walked in on my friend.</p>
<p>There is, of course, only one logical conclusion that can be drawn from this: Black people can tell when someone is talking racist. No matter what.</p>
<p>It could be referred to as the &#8220;sixth sense,&#8221; the ability to have an uncanny sense of racism.</p></blockquote>
<p>Theres an ongoing campaign to change whatever the current terminology is toward a racial minority into an unacceptable term. &#8220;a black&#8221; and &#8220;a gay&#8221; are starting to sound out of place because politically correct terms have been pushed on us so when they&#8217;re not used they raise suspicion from paranoid people and those people usually translate suspicion into certitude so &#8211; tadaaa &#8211; youza RACIST. and everyone can feel it through the thought-grid we&#8217;re all plugged into..</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyqnheIsrH1qh15n3o1_500.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Coming soon: Actual <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/9051909/Mind-reading-device-could-become-reality.html">Mind Reading</a>?</p>
<blockquote><p>Researchers demonstrated that the brain breaks down words into complex patterns of electrical activity, which can be decoded and translated back into an approximate version of the original sound.</p>
<p>Because the brain is believed to process thought in a similar way to sound, scientists hope the breakthrough could lead to an implant which can interpret imagined speech in patients who cannot talk.</p></blockquote>

</p>
<p>Believe it, son&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>By breaking down the conversation into its component sounds, they were able to build two computer models which matched distinct signals in the brain to individual sounds.<br />
They then tested the models by playing a recording of a single word to the patients, and predicting from the brain activity what the word they had heard was.</p>
<p>The better of the two programmes was able to produce a close enough approximation of the word that scientists could guess what it was, from a list of two options, 90 per cent of the time.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The report from <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2012/jan/07/andaman-islanders-human-safari-video">the Guardian</a> says that &#8220;Andaman Islanders &#8216;forced to dance&#8217; for tourists&#8221; but I don&#8217;t see any forcing going on here. Unless I&#8217;m missing details about this that aren&#8217;t present below, it seems to me that any outrage over this is due to guilty-racism (the type of racism a person has but feels guilty about). If these were poor Russian boys and girls dressed in their regional garb dancing for tourists I don&#8217;t think there would be any outrage.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Jarawa tribe have lived in peace in the Andaman Islands for thousands of years. Now tour companies run safaris through their jungle every day and wealthy tourists pay police to make the women &#8211; usually naked &#8211; dance for their amusement. This footage, filmed by a tourist, shows Jarawa women being told to dance by an off-camera police officer</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week in Texas Christian University news: A student government candidate named Graham was told by school admins that his nickname was racist and couldn&#8217;t be used, forcing him to put tape over his campaign signs. Who knew that running for Vice President of external affairs would get so&#8230;um&#8230;racial.</p>

</p>
<blockquote><p>“Hi my name is Graham, like the cracker,” he said.<br />
That’s how McMillan has been introducing himself since high school. It’s even how his friends know him.<br />
“And he was like, ‘I’m Graham, like the cracker, McMillan.’ And he did it so people would remember his name. That’s how I remember him,” said Taylor Slack.<br />
After McMillan put the catchy addition to his name on his campaign posters he got a call from his student advisor.<br />
“That it could be deemed derogatory and had been derogatory. And, I just taped it over,” he said. “TCU provided me with some blue tape so I could cover it up, which was very nice. And, I ran out so I thought why not spice this up a little bit and make it a little more pop. I got some yellow tape in there and found some flames and decided to put that on there too.”<br />
Other students on campus said they understand the word cracker can sometimes have negative racial connotations, but in this case it doesn&#8217;t seem harmful.<br />
“I thought since his first name was Graham it really wasn’t a problem, you know,” said Emma Altgelt.<br />
Some of the signs no longer have tape on them. McMillan said that’s because some students have told him they’ve taken it upon themselves to remove it.<br />
He said he’ll likely continue using his favorite catch phrase for introductions with friends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t help but like Janeane Garofalo even though she can&#8217;t help but make irresponsible and unsupported allegations of bigotry against people she disagree&#8217;s with. The day the Tea Party began, Janeane jumped on the talking point that its all about racism, which i&#8217;m totally down with if one can defend it but&#8230; she hasn&#8217;t. </p>
<p>I sympathize with her conflict of wanting to be loved by everyone but not shying away from what you believe in even though you know it will cause more people to possibly unjustifiably dislike you. I wish she wouldn&#8217;t whine about being &#8220;punished&#8221; over calling people racist for no good reason. Due to my desperate want to justify my irrational positive attitude toward her, I have been searching for an explanation of wtf she&#8217;s talking about. Especially since I dont care about the Tea Party, so if she has a good example of why it&#8217;s a racist movement then I&#8217;ll me all too happy to throw them under the bus and run back and forth all over them with ridicule. Except she appears to have nothing&#8230; On Real Time with Bill Maher (where she also agreed with me that <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2011/06/11/janeane-garofalo-hey-lets-make-weiner-mayor-of-new-york/">Anthony Weiner should still run for Mayor</a> &#8211; though I think he should wait an election cycle before his comeback), on Mark Marons podcast and here on Keith Olbermanns show: they&#8217;re racist cuz they&#8217;re racist and it&#8217;s obvious and she&#8217;s just calling it like it is and you&#8217;re a jerk if you say boo about it. ug&#8230; The only example I&#8217;ve ever heard her give was that there was a tea party sign that said something along the lines of &#8220;What you talkin bout Willis?&#8221; from Diff&#8217;rent Strokes. I had no idea that Diff&#8217;rent Strokes was a racist show and Garofalo did not explain why that one silly sign was actually an example of racial hatred that tarred the nationwide movement for smaller government. </p>
<p>In the clip below, I share a similar conflict to hers of wanting to be loved but am compelled to speak truth &#8211; except it&#8217;s that I want TO love [her] but am compelled to point out how colossally retarded what she&#8217;s saying is. </p>
<p>As her and Keith have a friendly discussion on exactly how evil the Tea Party is, she actually says that her answer to &#8220;what makes you think the Tea Party is racist?&#8221; is &#8220;what makes you think it isn&#8217;t?&#8221;&#8230;. let that sink in a little&#8230; </p>
<p>Before that she makes a legit point that there is racism all over the world, and there is no reason to think it would go away under a black President. but then&#8230; she just&#8230; this is too painful to go on. I feel like I&#8217;m beating up a really adorable 9 year old by picking apart just how unintelligent these comments are, so just watch the video courtesy of the Daily Caller and make your own conclusions on the rest while I go watch old 90s footage of her and cry. </p>
<p><script src="http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?height=344&#038;embedCode=9oOXBqMjo_E-EBu9Sa1Dv4_HIR95UYc8&#038;video_pcode=k4Nmw6Cri746xA2OsoSlngyrIudg&#038;deepLinkEmbedCode=9oOXBqMjo_E-EBu9Sa1Dv4_HIR95UYc8&#038;width=480"></script></p>
<p>Well, just ONE more comment, because it was at least posed as an actual question even though she meant its argumentative proof (which Olbermann snarkily agrees with): the Tea Party started under Bush in response to his big government spending and bailouts, so their first protest of the guy who was elected by saying he would do more of that is literally the most predictable thing you could have expected form them. C&#8217;mon dude. First tell the truth, THEN give your opinion. Protesting someone you disagree with isn&#8217;t de facto evidence that you&#8217;re a closet Klansmen. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Something is fishy (Gefilte fishy?) <a href="http://www.aolnews.com/world/article/neo-nazi-couple-find-out-theyre-jewish/19648414">about this story</a> though&#8230; </p>
<blockquote><p>A few years ago, Ola found out from Warsaw&#8217;s Jewish Historical Institute that both she and her husband are technically Jews. &#8220;It was unbelievable &#8212; it turned out that we had Jewish roots. It was a shock,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>At the time, she and Pawel were active in Warsaw&#8217;s neo-Nazi movement. &#8220;I was a nationalist 100 percent. Back then when we were skinheads it was all about white power&#8230; that Jews were the biggest plague and the worst evil of this world,&#8221; Pawel said.</p>
<p><strong>Both 33, they&#8217;ve now embraced their Jewish identity and are active in their local orthodox synagogue. </strong>
</p></blockquote>
<p>uh&#8230; They&#8217;re practicing Jews now?&#8230; huh? How do you go from &#8220;that inferior race needs to be wiped off the planet&#8221; to praying in Hebrew? hmmm. meh. whatever. still amusing&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>White people hanging from trees are the new black people getting lynched. <img src="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,570568,00.html" alt="" />?</p>
<blockquote><p>The mayor of Frederick, Md., says a controversial Halloween display featuring three faceless dummies hanging from a willow tree will remain at a city park, despite complaints from the NAACP.</p>
<p>Guy Djoken, president of Frederick County&#8217;s NAACP chapter, has called on Mayor Jeff Holtzinger to order parks officials to remove the display, which he calls &#8220;disturbing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Something should be done right away,&#8221; Djoken told FoxNews.com. &#8220;When you look from a distance, it doesn&#8217;t look good. We should just remove it.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If its wondered aloud that the Nobel committee gave the Peace Prize to Obama because they were excited and hopeful at the US electing a black president, how is that racist? right/wrong/whatever. you discuss it, but RACIST? how? &#8212; oh. its not? then how is Limbaugh&#8217;s 2003 comment that McNabb got praised &#8220;because the media wanted a black quarterback to do well&#8221; racist?</p>
<p>Exactly. dumbasses. It doesn&#8217;t make any sense. It&#8217;s cool to hate on talk show hosts you don&#8217;t like all you want, it&#8217;s NOT cool to go attacking their attempt to own a small piece of a sports team and it&#8217;s not even acceptable to go smearing the hell out of someone <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajNVbAe5nx4&amp;feature=PlayList&amp;p=A6267535994F97FB&amp;playnext=1&amp;playnext_from=PL&amp;index=4">as a &#8220;racist&#8221;</a> over things they never said or inserting racism into statements that had, have and COULD have no racist motive.</p>
<p><em>Last Monday on The O&#8217;Reilly Factor, Detroit Free-Press columnist Drew Sharp argued that the NFL has a right to turn down a &#8220;a very polarizing, controversial figure whose occupational practice is largely predicated on making people feel comfortable with their own biases and prejudices.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>After Sharp refers to &#8220;racially tinged sound bites&#8221; that O&#8217;Reilly and his crack research team could not uncover, O&#8217;Reilly plays the comment Rush made on ESPN in 2003 regarding Donovan McNabb, then asks if it should disqualify Limbaugh from owning an NFL team. &#8220;What it does qualify him for is being a race baiter,&#8221; Sharp responds. &#8220;I do believe he throws in sound bites&#8230; strictly for effect.&#8221; </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago, a group no one has ever heard of, called Color of Change, started a boycott against Fox News opinion show host Glenn Beck because Beck stated an opinion they found unacceptable: Beck said he thinks Barack Obama is essentially racist (<em>oh no he di-int!</em>).</p>
<p>Color of Change, under the headline <strong>Stop the race baiting</strong>,  immediately organized Beck-haters to call or contact advertisers  to notify they will be boycotting their product as long as they continue to run their ads on Beck&#8217;s show.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-568" title="stoptheracebaiting.hypocrisy" src="http://richwatch.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/stoptheracebaiting.hypocrisy.png" alt="stoptheracebaiting.hypocrisy" width="474" height="223" /></p>
<p>Problem: Van Jones, the leader of Color of Change is the Dictator of Race Batia. He has first place trophies on his shelves for the annual Race Bating County Fair. If he were on the supreme court he would be Race Bater Ginsburg.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.foxnews.com/images/559216/0_61_320_090309_han_jones_0.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="187" /><em>The </em><em>picture to the right from the Hannity show makes it look like Van Jones is wearing a Hannity pin on his jacket. so. like. i thought that was funny.</em></p>
<p>First: Jones called President Bush a racist&#8230;</p>
<p>Stop the race baiting? In a Sept. 1, 2005 <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/van-jones/bushs-role-in-the-drownin_b_6634.html">Huffington Post</a> op-ed, &#8220;Bush&#8217;s Role in the Drowning of New Orleans,&#8221; Jones wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>Don&#8217;t say that a hurricane destroyed New Orleans. Hurricanes don&#8217;t drown cities.It was a &#8220;perfect storm&#8221; of a different kind that put that great city underwater: <strong>Bush</strong>-era neglect of our national infrastructure, combined with runaway global warming and <strong>a deep contempt for poor African-Americans</strong>. [emphasis added]</p></blockquote>
<p>Hmmm. Should someone be getting outraged over a person accusing the President of being a racist, if..um.. they called the President a fkking racist?</p>
<p>Van &#8220;Stop the Race Baiting&#8221; Jones also thinks white people are poisoning black communities. Hmm. that&#8217;s a pretty inflammatorily race baiting accusation. Plenty evidence to call this hypocrite boycott against Beck a fraud and and a scam, but as the late Billy Mays would say: <em>But wait! there&#8217;s more! </em></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="454" height="368" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nMa3l23-rRc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="454" height="368" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nMa3l23-rRc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Goodness&#8230; So the guy Beck has been calling out then orders a boycott against Beck for saying one thing that was less offensive than any of the things he himself has said. and he works in the Obama administration. Awesome.</p>
<p>Oh ya, and he thinks President Bush was behind the terrorist attacks on September 11th. Maybe he changed his mind though? Cuz last night he <strong><a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/09/controversial-obama-administration-official-denies-being-part-of-911-truther-movement-apologizes-for.html">issued a statement apologizing</a></strong> and said the petition he signed suggesting that President Bush &#8220;may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen&#8221; perhaps to justify war in Afghanistan or Iraq, &#8220;does not reflect my views now or ever.&#8221; Except, it seems that &#8220;or ever&#8221; should have had an asterisk after it to clarify that in *this* case &#8220;ever&#8221; means &#8220;except in 2002 when he endorsed the same claim&#8221;.</p>
<p>An administration source told Jake Tapper of ABC News that Van &#8220;Stop the Race Baiting&#8221; Jones did not carefully review the language in the 9/11 conspiracy petition before agreeing to add his name in 2004 &#8211; but oops &#8211; this morning<strong> <a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/09/another-possible-link-emerges-between-top-obama-official-and-911-truther-movement.html">information surfaced</a></strong> that shows Jones was on the <a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/van-jones-linked-to-9-11-truther.html" target="_blank">organizing committee of a 2002 march</a> making the same 9/11 conspiracy claims.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-585" title="clinton-van-jones1" src="http://richwatch.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/clinton-van-jones1.jpg" alt="clinton-van-jones1" width="432" height="380" /><br />
<em>Van Jones pictured with the 3 most powerful men in the world</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/The-Van-Jones-non-feeding-non-frenzy-57271402.html" target="_blank">It&#8217;s all no big deal</a> though, right? <a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OWNjYTFlNDViYWM5ZmVkZTQxZDczODJkNDliODM0NDg=" target="_blank">It&#8217;s not like he&#8217;s a Republican</a> or anything (then it would be REALLY serious).</p>
<p>Okay, so <a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2009/09/04/the-real-van-jones-scandal-why/print">Van Jones is a raging hypocrite</a> and a master-race-bater who is almost as intolerant of white people as he is of criticism. Big deal. What liberal isn&#8217;t, right? (yuk yuk). Charles Krauthammer nails it in the video below where he rightly notes that <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/02/white-house-green-jobs-adviser-republicans-assholes/" target="_blank">calling Republicans assholes</a> and the fact that he had <a href="http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2009/07/green_jobs_czar.html" target="_blank">admitted to being an actual Communist [and black nationalist]</a> may be lame and all but pretty small potatoes, but goes on to say that being a 9/11 conspiracy wingnut IS in fact a big ass fkking deal showing signs of psychotic paranoia and must disqualify you from working in the federal fricken government.</p>

<p>As for that &#8220;stop the race baiting&#8221; boycott? <strong>Fail</strong>.<br />
A few advertisers simply diverted their commercials on Fox News to other programs on the channel rather than Beck&#8217;s. Some boycott. <a href="http://www.rantburg.com/poparticle.php?D=2009-08-19&amp;ID=276983">Color of Change allegedly lied</a> about advertisers dropping out, and <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2009/08/as-boycott-continues-glenn-becks-audience-swells.html">Beck&#8217;s ratings have never been higher</a>. His show airs at 5 freakin PM eastern (2pm Pacific) and is getting at least 2.5 million and often going over <a href="http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/08/27/big-beck-goes-over-3-million-viewers-beats-oreilly-in-demo-cable-news-ratings-for-wednesday-august-26-2009/25541">3 <em>million </em>viewers</a>. To put in context how massive 3 million viewers is on a daytime cable news channel, consider this perspective: The CBS Evening News averages about 4 million viewers a night. The Daily Show and Colbert Report each get around 1.5 million viewers a night, in <em>primetime</em><em>.</em></p>
<p>Far from Beck even inching in the <em>direction </em>of losing <em>his </em>job, to make things even more hilariously embarrassing: many are predicting that Jones will be the victim of &#8220;backfire scheme of the year&#8221; and <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-722-Conservative-Politics-Examiner~y2009m9d4-Van-Jones-White-House-Green-Jobs-Czar-will-be-gone-by-Monday" target="_blank">have to resign before Monday</a>.</p>
<p><em>EPIC FAIL.<br />
</em></p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE: </strong>Midnight Sunday morning, as predicted, <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/09/06/van_jones_resigns.html?wprss=44" target="_blank">Van Jone</a><em><a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/09/06/van_jones_resigns.html?wprss=44" target="_blank">s resigned</a>&#8230;<br />
