Happy Fucking 4th of July (well, if you're in the USA)
Why can't there be a list of the 25 coolest white people?

I often sit there at Celtic events listening to Irish music baking behind fifty layers of sunscreen wondering why there aren't any events for white people in this country.

It's very, very oppressive to be a redhead, seriously. GOD, why don't people like *me* get some attention?

They won't read it anyway.

There are certain folks you can get through to with stuff like that, but the ones that go OMG! Why is there not a list of awesome stuff about white folks! aren't really amongst them.

Thanks for sharing that link, it looks like a great resource to have on hand to send people.

So, so bookmarked. And would be instantly read if I wasn't running out the door with a ride waiting on me outside.

...it's Ebony magazine, of course it wouldn't have a list of cool white people, even if such a thing were needed.

I of course was scrolling through each cover thinking, "yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, waitaminnit you don't want to date Marvin Gaye didn't you watch that documentary about how bad his life sucked??"

...Arguing the merits of who was chosen (and what constitutes cool) is much more fun than bitching about white people.

That was exactly what I was thinking. It's Ebony, what where they expecting? It's like complaining that GQ's men of the year list doesn't include a woman! (Sure, they do have an extra list for women, but it's not the Men of the Year list)

I feel the need to put my head straight through my desk. Seriously. We're talking splinters here.

Yes, because one of the things that continually disappoints me about society is how rarely we acknowledge and value the accomplishments of white men.

Actually, I think I'm more offended that the news of "not one, not two, but eight quintessential covers to celebrate the 25 coolest Black men of all time" made ohnotheydidnt than that some asstard asks "why can't there be a list of the 25 coolest white people?"

Isn't ohnotheydidnt for "OMG WHUT?" news? Or is it a more general "news channel" kind of thing these days?

You know, I'm not in a great mood anyway and this severely isn't helping.

Can I start kicking people out of my race yet? ...No wait. That wouldn't be fair, 'cause then I'd just be burdening another race with idiots like this.

Okay, wait. Can we jettison them in the airlock? Please?

[info]ydna2003:are you seriously suggesting that white people are somehow being opressed and excluded? LMAO!!

[info]monster_cox:yes, because as a white male i have experienced first-hand discrimination in the work-force against myself, in various mainstream chains because most of the employees there were all minorities

these stores weren't even located in a very mixed area either

Really? Really?!

...

HAHAHAHAHA!

Where the hell was he trying to get hired, McDonalds? Burger King? Larry's Landscaping? 'Cause those are the only sorts of jobs around here that are minority-dominated.

I bet he wonders why the hell the girls won't date him. He sounds like such a Nice Guy.

On whether "Mexicans" are "black"

"no they are not! spanish are europeans and mexicans are mexicans where do you not see the distinction?"

"Then white Americans are Americans and not Europeans. Your logic doesn't make any sense."

Your logic doesn't make any sense!

LOL It's a troll. jughood too. They're doing it on every single post. No reason to be depressed by them, it's pretty much satiric trolling. This was a very successful attempt though and some stupid in the thread might be for real, like punk...whatever.

Didn't these people ever ask their parents that eternal childhood question: "If there's a Mother's Day and a Father's Day, why isn't there a Kids' Day?"

"Because every day is Kids' day!"

Yeah. Just - that.

On the mini genetics wank, I especially loved how people are never supposed to identify with the country and culture of their ancestors, ever. Because everyone is irrevocably tied to the country they were born in!
