First They Called You a White Supremacist, Then They Came for Your Social-Media Posts

Despite the fact that she has both the face and the intellect of a hippopotamus, Sheila Jackson-Lee has represented the same Congressional district of Texas since the mid-1990s.

Lee is on record doing such brilliant things as kvetching that hurricane names are “too lily-white,” alleging that Neil Armstrong planted a US flag on Mars, and asserting that the US Constitution is 400 years old.

In 2017, the mentally- and facially-challenged Congresswoman sponsored H. R. 61, AKA the “Fair Chance for Youth Act of 2017,” which was intended to “provide for the expungement and sealing of youth criminal records” and was clearly designed to allow young black thugs to keep preying upon innocent white people with impunity.

Now she’s back with another H. R. 61, which is titled the “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023” and whose stated purpose is “[t]o prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime and to amend title 18, United States Code, to expand the scope of hate crimes.”

The bill would also expand the legal definition of a “hate crime” beyond a crime motivated by bias against someone’s “race, color, religion, or national origin” to include the very awkwardly-phrased “because of a white supremacy based motivation against any person.”

Despite the fact that the term “white supremacist” has a very specific dictionary definition that very few people who get called “white supremacists” actually embody, Lee’s new bill would amend the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act to include the following in its definition of a “hate crime”:

Mass shootings and other hate crimes motivated by white supremacy have been increasing in frequency and intensity. These heinous and virulent crimes are inspired by conspiracy theories, blatant bigotry, and mythical falsehoods such as “replacement theory.”

You gotta watch out for those mythical falsehoods. They can be even more insidious than factual falsehoods. You also need to set aside the fact that when it comes to Matthew Shepard’s death, it only involved “hate” in the sense that drug addicts sometimes hate when you hog all the drugs and money.

But the most chilling part of this new proposed law is that it criminalizes “conspiracy to engage in white supremacy inspired hate crime.” To be a “conspirator,” all that one of the alleged perps needs to be guilty of is having “published material advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘replacement theory’, or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group, and such published material.”

And all one needs to have done to be a “conspirator” in a “white supremacy based motivation against any other person” is to have published their comments “on a social media platform or by other means of publication with the likelihood that it would be viewed by persons who are predisposed to engaging in any action in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate crime, or who are susceptible to being encouraged to engage in actions in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate crime.”

Is your throat big enough to swallow all that in one gulp?

If this bill passes, you could be legitimately convicted of the crime of “conspiracy” if all you do is publish “conspiracy theories” alleging that the government is peculiarly hostile to “white supremacy” and “white supremacy” alone, despite the fact that government officials are nakedly attempting to isolate “white supremacy” as the only form of racial identity to be criminalized.

And once they’ve determined that your wackadoodle white-supremacist conspiracy theories may potentially lead to violence, the feds will be given “the authority to investigate, intercede, and undertake other actions that it deems necessary and appropriate to interdict, mitigate, or prevent such action from culminating in violent activity.”

In other words, nothing actually violent needs to occur. This law is designed to allow the government to arrest people based merely on the idea that something violent might occur if the feds continue to allow white supremacists to spread their innately violent poison, even if one of the “conspirators” fails to encourage the use of violence.

If I suggest that this bill constitutes an implicit act of systemic violence against all white people, does that automatically make me a conspirator in planning a violent hate crime “because of a white supremacy based motivation against any person”?

They’re making it really tempting to actually start hating people.

Giant and Mystifyingly Stupid MLK Statue Unveiled in Boston

I look to a day when people are not judged by the color of their skin, but by the quality of their sculptures.

Actually, I look to a day when people are judged by the color of their skin, too. I think people should be judged for everything; not only that, they should be judged ruthlessly and with a soul-destroying level of cruelty.

In case you hadn’t noticed that your mail isn’t being delivered today, it’s a national holiday known as Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Apart from George Washington, MLK is the only American to have a national holiday named after him. We’ve actually devolved to the point where the pointless and futile struggle for Negro Equality is deemed to be so important that the father of our country and the man who murdered our country are given equal billing.

On Friday in Boston Common, “officials unveiled a new statute [sic]” dedicated in King’s honor before a crowd which fairly gasped and squirmed in confusion upon the sculpture’s unveiling.

It took five years and cost taxpayers $10 million, but the massive, 19-ton, 20-foot-tall and 25-foot-wide bronze sculpture called “The Embrace” is even more confusing than the idea that black people are equal to everyone else.

It’s not bad enough that King was a Communist, plagiarist, had bisexual orgies, and liked to beat hookers? Now we have to keep pretending the man was a saint and that this so-called “sculpture” is anything more than a slap in the face to everything decent, wholesome, and clean?

First off, WHERE’S THE FUCKING HEAD? What . . . the . . . hell . . . exactly is this monstrosity supposed to be? Is it a giant turd? Or a massive phallus? Or two headless people performing oral sex on one another? Or two headless people trying to strangle one another, which can get difficult when you don’t have heads or necks?

Or is this sculpture supposed to depict the arc of moral justice forever looping in some kind of Negroidal Möbius strip?

How many levels of approval and green-lighting did this 38,000-pound affront to humanity go through without a single brave soul daring to speak up and say, “Okay, wait a minute . . .”?

According to conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas, a black man whose proposal beat out those of 124 other aspiring conceptual artists, his sculpture is a homage to a famous 1964 photo of MLK hugging his wife, Coretta Scott King, upon receiving the news that he had received the Nobel Peace Prize.

“In that picture, you can see the weight of him on her shoulders as they embrace,” Thomas attempts to explain. “And I realized that this was really a metaphor for his legacy — that she carried his legacy on her shoulders for several decades after he was assassinated.”

I’m sure all of her hubby’s notorious cheatin’ and triflin’ must have weighed heavily upon Ms. King’s shoulders as well. To her immense credit, MLK’s widow croaked back in 2006 and was thus lucky enough to be spared having to witness this abomination. Picking up the slack was her charmless fat son MLK III, who was there like a big bag of farts, and I believe he proffered some sort of oration about justice and equity, or perhaps I made that last part up realizing the high statistical likelihood of it having happened.

Thomas also says that viewers can look up through his ghastly sculpture’s writhing limbs and see that the “heavens will be looking down on them,” which he describes as “a really powerful” and “holy” experience.

Okay, fine, but where are their fucking heads?

Imagine There Aren’t 40 Million Mexicans in the US

Mexico is a vibrant and thriving nation of 120 million people whose only notable achievement was inventing the nacho.

Last Tuesday, Mexican President Andrés Lopez Obrador welcomed American President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the terrifyingly dysfunctional metropolis of Mexico City. The summit’s unspoken purpose appeared to be, “How do we cram more Spics into the United States and Canada?” Top priorities were how to take all that fentanyl that Chinese companies were producing in Mexico and equitably distribute it throughout US and Canada, as well as how to carve up the rest of North America to make sure it’s basically just one big, dilapidated shopping mall.

Biden lied when he said, “It’s wonderful to be back here in Mexico City.” He lied again when he said, “A key to our competitive edge in the world is our incredible diversity.”

Trudeau lied when he said, “Free trade through NAFTA has helped make our economies among the most competitive in the world.”

Obrador told the biggest whopper of all when he echoed Anne Frank and said, “People are good by nature.” He also said that “in our country, in Mexico . . . corruption is not allowed,” and it’s a miracle that the audience did not erupt in gales of laughter.

Although one-quarter of his nation’s population is in another nation, Obrador still calls them Mexicans, suggesting he has a different definition of “nation” than either Biden or Trudeau do:

“And just imagine: There are 40 million Mexicans in the United States — 40 million who were born here in Mexico, who are the children of people who were born in Mexico.”

Gracias, but life is not a John Lennon song, and I’d much rather not imagine that there are 40 million Mexicans in the United States. I’d rather not think they’ve contributed to the Babelization of a once cohesive country, or that they’ve enabled a downward spiral of social, political, and economic prospects for the tens of millions of native-born Anglos who were dumb enough to trust their politicians.

Homeless Canadian “Swarming” Murder Victim Was an Asian Male; Perps Appear to Be Extremely Blurry Black Females

A few weeks back I covered the grisly tale of an unidentified 59-year-old homeless man in Toronto who died of injuries after being “swarmed” by a group of eight girls ranging in age from 13 to 16 who apparently became incensed when another young girl the man had been drinking with refused to obediently hand over her bottle of booze.

The victim has been identified as an Asian man with the tidy and compact name of Ken Lee. A courtroom sketch of the accused, who now number only seven, reveals that they are all extremely blurry and must have originated from a grainy and indistinct country in Africa’s fabled out-of-focus hinterlands.

This heinous gang murder serves as yet another example of the rampant black-on-Asian violence, caused by white supremacy and only white supremacy, that has ravaged North America ever since Donald Trump blamed COVID-19 on the Chinks.

NBA Player Returns After Two-Year Hiatus for Saying “Kike”

Jews don’t control anything, much less everything, and if you even dare to harbor such thoughts, their high-tech Jewish Mind-Reading Drones will know about it and promptly inform the proper Jewish authorities.

For example, the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) commissioner is the extremely Jewish-looking Adam Silver, and the Miami Heat basketball team is owned by Mickey Arison and his son Nick, both of whom are egregiously Jewish. But this is all a matter of happenstance.

About two years ago, an actual NBA minority — meaning he’s a white player in a league that is only 16.8% white — was put on indefinite leave after footage emerged of him calling another player a “fucking kike bitch” during an online game of Call of Duty.

This handy etymological guide to your favorite anti-Semitic slurs defines the word “kike” thusly:

This unfortunately well-known slur has myriad hypothesized origins. There is a theory by Philip Cowen, editor of “The American Hebrew,” that it comes from the Yiddish word kikel, or, circle. He suggests that Jewish immigrants, not knowing the Latin alphabet, signed their entry forms with a circle rather than the customary X, which signified Christianity. On this theory, Ellis Island immigration inspectors began calling such people kikels, and the term shortened as time passed.

Meyers Leonard, the white B-baller who dropped the K-bomb while playing a video game, was quickly reprimanded by his team’s management:

The Miami Heat vehemently condemns the use of any form of hate speech . . . The words used by Meyers Leonard were wrong and we will not tolerate hateful language from anyone associated with our franchise. . . . To hear it from a Miami Heat player is especially disappointing and hurtful to all those who work here, as well as the larger South Florida, Miami Heat and NBA communities. . . . Meyers Leonard will be away from the team indefinitely. . . . The Miami Heat will cooperate with the NBA while it conducts its investigation.

What a bunch of babies. And what do they need to “investigate,” anyway? And it’s not enough simply to “condemn” something — they have to do it “vehemently”?

Leonard also quickly — and vainly — attempted to work damage control by groveling before the entire world:

I am deeply sorry for using the anti-Semitic slur during a livestream yesterday. . . . While I didn’t know what the word meant at the time, my ignorance about its history and how offensive it is to the Jewish community is absolutely not an excuse and I was just wrong. I am now more aware of its meaning and I am committed to properly seeking out people who can help educate me about this type of hate and how we can fight it. I acknowledge and own my mistake and there’s not running from something like this that is so hurtful to someone else. This is not a proper representation of who I am and I want to apologize to the Arisons, my teammates, coaches, front office, and everyone associated with the Miami Heat organization, to my family, to our loyal fans, and to others in the Jewish community I have hurt.

I’m pretty sure that Meyers Leonard was hurt by all this far more than the “Jewish community” was. I wonder if deep inside his soul, where the Jewish Mind-Reading Drones have yet to penetrate, whether he likes Jews more or less than before his ritual humiliation.

Why are the Jews watching people play video games?

It was announced last week that after two years of Jew-imposed exile from the NBA, Leonard was scheduled to work out for the Los Angeles Lakers, who just so happen to be owned by a non-Jewish white woman.

Beware of these so-called “Lakers.” Scratch a Laker, and he’ll bleed Nazi red.

Fast Car, Tiny Dick: Is the Stereotype True?

When male douchebag Andrew Tate infamously sparred on Twitter with female douchebag Greta Thunberg, he told her, “Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”

To clarify, Tate was the one who brought up fancy cars and the word “enormous.”

Thunberg’s response was, “Yes, please do enlighten me. Email me at [email protected] . . .”

Several of the more humorless men’s-rights types — you know, the ones who spend most of their waking hours calling women “fat” and “ugly” and “unfuckable” online — cried foul, claiming it was cheap, tacky, and dishonorable to body-shame men. And they found an ally in a “sexologist” named Elena Requena, who claimed that sex education is “the foundation on which we [base our ideas about sex] so that no man is traumatized by the size of his penis.”

A study from a couple of years ago suggested that a man’s salary and penis size were inversely correlated, but it’s unclear whether that was simply the result of poor people tending to brag more about their penis size, while rich people brag more about their wealth.

And a study released from psychologists at University College London last week suggests that there might be a statistical correlation, however laughably puny, between perceiving that one has a small ding-dong and attempting to compensate by desiring a pricey sports car. Titled “Small Penises and Fast Cars: Evidence for a Psychological Link,” researchers wrote:

In this experiment, we manipulated what men believed about their own penis size, relative to others. We gave them false information, stating that the average penis size was larger than it in fact is, reasoning that, on average, these males will feel that relatively and subjectively their own penis was smaller; compared to those told that the average penis size was smaller than true average. We then asked them to rate how much they would like to own a sports car. These facts and questions were buried amongst other items giving information and asking for product ratings, so that our hypothesis was masked from participants. We found that males, and males over 30 in particular, rated sports cars as more desirable when they were made to feel that they had a small penis.

In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need studies such as this. Actually, in this damaged-beyond-repair world, we don’t need studies such as this, either.

I have always insisted that for us to have any hope of achieving a functional and vibrant society, everyone should be robustly defamed with the harshest and most demeaning racial terms imaginable.

In the same spirit of equity, I think we need to bring back and cultivate an oppressive climate of toxic body-shaming to the point where anyone who does not resemble an Olympian god is terrified of leaving his house.
