The One Where Hippo Kinda Sorta Thinks

I went by the office on Tuesday morning, to print some shit and sign my privilege license (practicing law, it’s well complex, eh?).  On my way out, I saw this storefront, and it spoke to me on multiple levels.

No, I am not trying to riot shame, since everyone is 100% right to be angry, especially if black – and, of course…it doesn’t involve using the butt for non-poop purposes.

I did go back and think of the documentary I saw many years ago, about the famous Watts riots.  Reminded me that, beyond Feeding the Nixon Monster, one very unfortunate side effect was all the black business owners who saw their life’s work vanish in an instant.  Damned white devils are NEVAR the ones who end up getting hurt.  We always come out just fine, and it’s shameful.

I felt multiple levels of shame looking at this plywood messaging.  I don’t know how to fix this Broken As Fuck society, or where to even start.  Guess I can take SOME solace in the fact that Herr Fuhrer doesn’t have 10% of the strategic thought capacity as Tricky Dick.  As a result, Diamond Joe looks even MOAR set to ride his chopper back onto the White House lawn.

As is apparently the prevalent reaction to Biden in the black community – he is Barack’s guy, and that’s enough.  Despite all of his political flaws (which seem minor now), it was an honour to have the Obamas as the face of America.  Let’s be worthy of the example they set, and the IMMENSE sacrifices that entire family made to create history.

Be a good person.  Listen.  Accept, if you are indeed Honky Like Me, that white privilege is – at a MINIMUM – an extra layer of original sin.  I don’t care how not-raycess you might be…you’ve benefitted from your status.  And you need to make a conscious effort to do SOMETHING to atone for it.

Also, the Krauts continue to provide us with Lesser Footy.  The Santanders too, as of yesterday.  Glorious Premiership next week.

Don’t let all of the lessons of this bloody June fade into happy sportsball-laden routine.  It matters, and the impression on us all needs to last.

Watch this whole episode, if you haven’t already (and why haven’t you, Donald Glover is a genius when not rapping).  Cringe to your core:

Of course, never forget #HailGAMBLOR.

In lieu of the real Stanley Cup ceremony, which would have been around this time of the year, the least the NHL could do is announce the lifetime ban of Brad Marchand.

Are you pronouncing the “c” in Barcelona as “th”?

I pronounce it like a ‘k,’ just like Julius Kaiser would have.

Yeah, I took 3 years of Latin in high school too.

Ian Fleming

007 is more reckless than you might imagine. Yes, he checks into hotels using his own name, making him arguably the least secretive secret agent of all time, and yes, he’s slept with enough women to warrant his own sexual health clinic, but possibly putting him at more peril than a Walther PPK to the back of the head, a 2013 university study of Ian Fleming’s works found that the spy drank on average between 65 and 92 units a week, working out to around four times the recommended limit. This over-consumption was on par with that of his pen-father Fleming – a man also plagued by demons of war, loss and geopolitical secrets, who on occasion polished off a bottle of gin a day. Well, until Fleming’s doctor suggested bourbon was narrowly better for his health. You only live twice, after all.
Drink of choice – Gin Martini

Shaken, not – oh you know the rest…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wait…are you saying that tWBS was actually a secret agent?

Just stating Ian Fleming’s drinking habits from an article….. which may or may not resemble those of certain commenters (resemble)

Jerry Richardson always insisted on 3/5’s. We caught on to him real quick. He was banned from the community long before the NFL figured it out.

At some point the players will have to have their arms removed from the shoulder down to be able to play. And they will still get hand ball calls.

a statue of columbus at the bottom of a lake is actually historically interesting because nobody learned about columbus from the statue but you can learn a hell of a lot from why it’s in a lake now

I plan to watch more television shows featuring black cast-members.

It’s the most that we can do.

Fronkenshteen

I’m from New York. On my dads side are NYPD and FDNY. My mom’s side moved out to Arizona when I was young. Now, they’re Fox News hostages. I moved to buttcrack Virginia and disassociated myself from the lot of them. The latest viral videos from Long Island confirm I made the right choice. I’m a worthless piece of shit, but my house is not racist. We teach love and equality. That’s a hell of a lot better than the last two generations of my family. The kids in the streets have made me proud to be American, something I haven’t felt in awhile, and I’m a veteran. We donated money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, but even that felt like a hollow, lifeless swipe at the underlying issues. I don’t know what the hell im even talking about. I just don’t know how to help the way I want to.

montythisseemsstrangetome

My only quarrel with your comment is that you’re a worthless piece of shit. I do that to myself all the time too, but it’s not true. For either of us.

Fronkenshteen

Can’t get that love of self thing down, man. But thanks.

Brick Meathook

Why do all you “white” people hate yourselves?

I’m half Spanish and half Irish. I was never accepted by either group, but I learned not to care. That’s life. I didn’t whine about it either.

I sure as shit don’t care about anyone else’s self-esteem. Sorry.

Fronkenshteen

That’s why I mostly lurk here.

Brick Meathook

My point is: don’t hate yourself, dickhead. It doesn’t make any sense.

montythisseemsstrangetome

It’s not about making sense, Brick. Mental health issues are by definition irrational.

Look, they’re both worthless pieces of shit, OK, but they’re our worthless pieces of shit.

. . . the strategic thought capacity as Tricky Dick.

Of all U.S. Presidents, at least of the Twentieth Century, Franklin Roosevelt is easily the most strategic thinker of them all, and for FDR that is both geo-politically and his own voter-owned ass as well.

But Dick Nixon was a hard-scrabble second, and he deserves to be second. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Given Nixon’s *insane* lack of charisma, it’s pretty amazing that he was chosen bear the standard for the GOP enough times to actually win. I’m sure there’s some NFL head coach equivalent of him (kept getting chances despite sucking until he finally won it all) but nobody immediately comes to mind.
