Trayvon2 300x200 Trayvon Martin and the New Racism

We upgrade our computers. We upgrade our phones. We upgrade our TVs. So why wouldn’t we upgrade our racist tendencies? Yes, folks, we are in a whole new world of racism. Racism 2.0.

So here I am doing a WTF on racism. I have written about one aspect of racism recently but that was before the shooting of Trayvon Martin. The death of this young man has shown us a whole new upgraded form of racism. Racism 1.0 was linear and direct. It was the KKK version of bigotry. You are black therefore you are not as valuable as me therefore I can kill you with no guilt. But, like running DOS on our computers now, Racism 1.0 did not work in our society so something new had to be designed.

The new racism has to be consciousness friendly. It needs to allow the racist to have black friends, Hispanic friends, white friends and a great mix of nationalities while still being able to point the gun at the ‘bad ones’. With Racism 2.0, we do not just shoot black people. Oh, do not get me wrong. Trayvon Martin was murdered because he is black. But, not solely because he was black. Under the new racism that is not enough. Travyon was black which makes him a criminal under the new rules. He was young which makes him a criminal. He wore the obvious clothing of a criminal, the hoodie. If he was an older black man wearing a suit, he would still be alive.

Under Racism 1.0, the death of an African-American by the hands of a Hispanic would mean little. After all, using the old version of bigotry, this is just one shade of mud removing another from the pure waters of society. The new racism requires something more. So now Trayvon needs to be portrayed as a hoodlum, a criminal. He had marijuana related… I do not know what. It does not matter if he sold marijuana or used it for his glaucoma. What matters is that we can put him into the ‘bad one’ category.

(By the way, that ‘bad one’ category includes some gays and some women. Under Racism 2.0, good gays do hair, have sex in a bathroom, and talk in dramatic whispers. They are unmarried and happy with that. Good women are married and deal with the home. The ‘bad ones’ always seem to want more.)

Trayvon Martin was murdered. He did not have a gun. He did not have a knife. He is not some Steven Segal martial artist. He may have been a saint or an asshole. None of this should have condemned him to death. That fact that Zimmerman is not in jail now is because he is fluent in the new language of Racism 2.0.  He loves the police. He upholds the law as he sees it. He acts as much like an old white guy as a young Latino can.

The one thing that all of the users of Racism 2.0 really love is that it is reverse compatible. Once we start using Racism 2.0, we can always go back and reboot Racism 1.0. So, do you have your wood crosses ready to burn or is there an app for that?

beck Celebrity Smackdown : Glenn Beck

          Wednesday! Everyday of the week has a different topic regarding relationships and, in essence, each day is in competition with the others. So we know that in the middle of the night, Tuesday dukes it out with Monday and everybody gangs up on WTF of the Week Saturdays. To us, Wednesday’s Celebrity Smackdown is an oasis unto itself. We pick people of celebrity and critique them as bad examples or role models of relationships pertaining to the topic of the week. When we discuss competition, this is difficult to do since they are all competing with one another in some way. Magazine covers, awards, parts in films, records sales and blog topics are just some of the competitions going on right now. But these competitions aren’t hurting the United States as much as one individual who is competing to scare the living bejeesus out of everyone here and he doesn’t care how he does it.


          Who is the one who seems committed to bring this country down? GLENN BECK! Some of you may have answered Satan and, if I actually believed in a Satan, I would say that Glenn Beck is in competition with that little Devil. For those of you who have been blessed by not seeing the craptastic cable ‘news’ show, Glenn Beck is an idiot who takes some information and twists it around to sensationalize and demonize any person or organization who believes differently than him. His viewers, who apparently lack access to books or Google, lap up everything he says without question while polishing their guns and ironing their white sheets. Oh I’m sorry Mr. Beck, did I just say that some of your drones are racists? You bet ya!


          Let us begin the real smackdown by discussing your 912 Project. You created this organization to get back to basics, to save this country from the onslaught of communism and probably a way to siphon some non profit funds back to yourself. You created the 12 values and 9 principles that WE all must live by to make this country great. You force a belief, jingoism and blind faith on your people. I don’t know if maybe I’m reading into this because of my background but this sounds an awful lot like what Castro did to Cuba.


          And what of your values of being honest and responsible, Mr. Beck? When you find that your reports are based on crap, wouldn’t the responsible thing to do be to own up to it? Take it back. Say ‘My bad. I was misinformed, wrong and never bothered to check my sources.’ Apparently, those values don’t pertain to you. For example the 9/12 March on Washington this year where you insist that there were millions and showed a picture where some University used some fancy math and estimated a gazillion people there. The picture you were using was from the 1997 promise keepers’ march. Now a lot of your cohorts used the same picture but they have since reissued new numbers which do not top 70,000 participants. And to argue that these ‘peaceful’ participants weren’t potentially violent because they were hugging each other and singing the anthem? Beck, you know your audience. You are whipping them up for a coup and you know it. Your conscience is your ratings. The more radical and extreme you get, the better your numbers. You are speaking to the old Millennium freaks who are still pissed that we haven’t reverted to caveman days and are still eating canned food that they had stockpiled. These botulism ridden half wits need a leader and you have just enough brain cells to do it. Your followers are racists, militia men who would be happy to threaten our president for the good of your cause and you are fine with that.


          But please remember Mr. Beck, in science, which I know you don’t believe in because God answers everything and we shouldn’t ask why, equilibrium is the perfect state. We will venture back to the middle where we belong and not polarized because of assholes like you. I propose we create a space ark and tell all the zealots, Beckheads, Talibanis and extremists, that a cataclysmic thing is going to happen. Don’t worry, they won’t check their facts. We tell them God has judged us and that only the self righteous can leave and the rest of us can burn in the fiery pits of our own making. They leave, telling us I told you so, and we send them to the other ends of the universe where they will be enslaved by some alien race. Then the rest of us can live a peaceful, normal life without these yahoos pushing their agendas down our throats. What do you think?
