I’ve written about the website The Root before.

The Root is a black hate site that masquerades as a news and pop culture site, owned by the same media organization that owns Jezebel and Jalopnik.

I wouldn’t have even come across this article, except that Tucker Carlson talked about it last night.

I had to read it.

5 Life Hacks for Black People Who Want to Leverage White Guilt to Make White People Uncomfortable at Work.

What are the hacks?

1. If you need a day off and you have no PTO or vacation days left, cite Kwanzaa.

2. Jokingly drop the racism bomb … but with a straight face.

3. Get out of jams by referencing your hair.

4. Imply that they’re racist without actually saying anything.

5. Invite them to an über-black event even though they already had plans.

For the rest of the country it should be titled “5 ways to make black people toxic and unemployable in corporate America.”

This article is not satire.  Nothing in The Root is.  I don’t know if this type of white guilting works in progressive media companies, but out in corporate America, all it will do is plant the seed in the minds of employees that black people are an HR nightmare.  The author of this article, Damon Young, who writes under the title “Very Smart Brothas” is doing any impressionable black people who see this a great disservice.

I get that clickbait generates revenue and so Univision might night care, but crap like this is downright dangerously irresponsible to print.

Let’s remember our fascist history.

In 1919 the Fascist part of Italy formed the  Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale, which translates to the “Voluntary Militia for National Security.”

They were more commonly known as the Camicie Nere, or “Blackshirts,” because of the color of their uniforms.

In 1923, they became the volunteer militia of Il Duce, Benito Mussolini.

They were thugs and enforcers who helped maintain Mussolini’s rule with the help of “the bludgeon and castor oil*.”

*Castor oil forms Ricinoleic acid in the bowel and irritates the digestive track causing it to spasm.  The Blackshirts would force victims to drink large volumes of castor oil, causing horrible, painful diarrhea, possibly resulting in death from dehydration.

United States Congressman from Minnesota, and Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee Tweeted this.

Once more as a screen capture in case he deletes it.

Yes, you read that right.  A sitting US Congressman seemed to endorse Antifa as a threat to President Donald Trump.

Antifa, who commonly take part in the Black Bloc to riot against conservative speakers and got involved in street fight in Charlottesville.

I’m not sure if Congressman Keith Ellison could have been any clearer that he believes that the role of Antifa is the Democrats’ Camicie Nere.

I’ve watched this video a dozen times and every time it gives me the giggles.

I've been waiting for this….Paul Sorvino on Harvey Weinstein harassing and blacklisting his daughter Mira Sorvino….

"He ought to hope he goes to jail…cause if not, he has to meet me and I will kill the motherfu**er" https://t.co/q6PWec3jxD pic.twitter.com/kkov60WdBx

Mira Sorvino was blacklisted by Harvey Weinstein for resisting his sexual predation.

God damn, I want Paul Sorvino to send the night surgeon to take Weinstein apart, bit by bit.

Trump Tweeted this:

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

The media then shit their pants in horror.

Did I miss a day of history class when we were all nuked back in the 80’s?  I thought the idea of Mutually Assured Destruction kept the Soviets from attacking us for, like, 40 years.

Maybe Trump reminding Kim that this president has some lead in his pencil is more of a deterrent than Obama’s bending at the knee foreign policy.

At least that’s what I learned in my military history classes in college.

I think I am coming around on Trump in some ways.   I think he is petulant at times when it is inappropriate but there are times when I want him to let it off the hook. 

I’d love for him to go to the UN assembly and say:

“Do not expect me to act like Obama. As president, I have three things that he didn’t, a hot wife, a hard cock, and a Secretary of Defense who’s not afraid to kill some motherfuckers. You’ve been warned.”

It is now the law in Oregon that you can pump your own gas, because its legislature decided that it’s no longer  1951.

The thing is, it only applies to counties of less than 40,000 people, so about half the state.  I’ve lived in western South Dakota and rural Indiana, which still had a city population of about 60,000 and a county population of 80,000.  I can’t imagine how empty a county of 40,000 must be.

It seems that having gas stations be unable to serve people because the town didn’t have enough people to keep the gas station open had something to do with this.

Truth be told, I used to live in New Jersey and I hated having my gas pumped by someone else.   I felt very uncomfortable about it.   It was like having a men’s room attendant unzip my fly and hold my dick while I pee.

Sure, people from New Jersey said they pay less for gas, but that’s not because the attendant makes it cheaper, but that Pennsylvania and New York have higher gas taxes and jack the price up by comparison.

So, back to Oregon…

The law, of course, doesn’t apply to the major population centers of the state.

Apparently some people in Oregon didn’t know this and voiced an opinion on Facebook about the change in the law.

Oregon is wedged in between California and Washington.  To the south is a state were a substantiation percentage of the population is confused about which bathrooms to use, and to the north is… Evergreen State College (’nuff said).

So when Facebook posts claim that people in Oregon do not know how to pump their own gas, don’t want to learn how to do so, and are afraid of smelling like gas… my parody detector just shuts down.

My prejudices, being what they are, I assume that is the rural Oregonians who know how to pump their own gas and will be alright.

For the rest of the Beaver State population, if you are confused and scared by the idea of refueling their own cars, here is some advice.

If you don’t know how to fill your tank, don’t worry.  Just spray the gasoline all over the car, it will eventually soak in.

If you are afraid of smelling like gas after doing that.  Just treat gas fumes like a nasty fart, just light a match.  I promise you, you won’t smell any gas after that.

It’s the first day back at work after the holidays.  Of course the break room is filled with the candy and left overs nobody wants sitting at home.  Someone brought in Jelly Belly brand candy canes.

One person was reading the wrapper trying to figure out the flavor and said “what do they mean produced with genetic engineering?”

(It’s true, it says so on the wrapper)

Not missing a beat I replied “well candy canes naturally are red and white and peppermint flavored, with genetic engineering they can grow them in a wide variety of colors and flavors.”

I hope I don’t get called to HR for that.

Piers “Muskets” Morgan must have had some major surgery over the Holidays.  It seems like he bad his head removed from his ass as well as an addadicktome, because today he Tweeted this.

Shameful lack of support from our politicians & media for the courageous Iranian protestors.
If Iran’s leader was Donald Trump the stinking hypocrites would be screaming from the rooftops that he be overthrown.
Britain needs to work out who our real enemies are – fast.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 1, 2018

That is both impressively smart and on solid moral ground.

The fact is the silence by Women’s Rights groups and other Social Justice leftists in the West has been deafening.

The fact is that the Women’s March and like minded groups CAN’T support the women in Iran.

The know deep in their shriveled, blackened hearts that the women taking off their headscarves to protest an oppressive regime  are infinitely braver then they.

They can’t invite the comparison between the women of Iran who are protesting for the right not to be stoned to death on the suspicion of adultery, or beaten for going in public without a hijab and a male escort and the women of progressive America who protested for the right to have the goverment to subsidies the copays for their birth control and fund abortion through Planned Parenthood.

To see someone like Piers Morgan call out the left for their taciturn support of an oppressive, Islamist regime, it means that they have nothing left to stand on.
