In the course of an average day something usually occurs that gets my goat. Often more than one and it generally has been exaggerated by social media. I know – blame it on the Internet – but nothing is sacred and now the profane has entered the realm of the used to be sacred and we are in a mess. This doesn’t mean I am going to leave FB or go offline. I love it most of the time but there is soooo much stupid crap shared it can drive a reasonably intelligent human crazy.
Todays’ review:
The United States – “not the greatest country in the world” (I agree with Putin on that) has spun out of control in ways I don’t think anyone could have imagined. Post-racial? I don’t think so. Jim Crow is alive in every corner and on the Internet. He jumps out constantly allowing us to know just what a screwed mentality exists in this “land of the free”. It is embarrassing and downright shameful for a “natural born” American who wishes all that buying and selling of humans never happened. And has never ended – at least in the hearts and minds of too many 21st Century Americans. What so many of us imagined…no fantasized…would happen when Barack Obama was elected is that the lion would lie with the lamb and love would steer the stars. Folks. This is not the Age of Aquarius. Look at the Congress. They make me sick. They are disgusting and they know it. Lazy, bigoted, misogynist old men who are scared of the Black Guy in the White House. Hot mess scared. And stupid and don’t have a real grip on what they are doing and what it bodes for the future.
I am not worried about the death of the middle class as much as I am afraid of the quantum leap in crime we will face if essential services to low income (poor) Americans are cut or denied. Angry, jobless, homeless, hungry individuals and families will be willing to do almost anything to feed their kids. Crime will escalate. And since many who are having babies (and for some odd reason the true believers think this is really a smart move) are in the lower income bracket or worse, teenagers who will be denied any assistance, those babies if they survive without, will see themselves as worthless and act accordingly. There will be a ton of secret sex going on too and no birth control and no choice and no assistance and no food and medical care and then what. John Boehner is gonna order another pitcher of martinis and tee off? The people who support this philosophy have not realized that Harry Potter is a made up character and no magic wand is going to return us to the era of black and white TV. In fact, lots of these “true believers” weren’t even born then. Thus far I have not heard a single answer from any of these miscreants about the “babies”. And believe me, the more mouths there are to feed on this dying little planet, the worse it will be – not the better. Read Malthus.
Post racial? Do Not Be Black in America. Don’t do it. Forget the Happy Family in the White House – being black in this country is a capital crime. Ask Miss America? Ask anyone who has ever been pulled over driving while black. Ask my family? Jim Crow is alive and just because you wish it was different – it isn’t. Just because Mr. O wishes it were different – it isn’t and Mrs. O rolls her eyes with good reason. If Mr. O had to run again – he could simply choose as his campaign slogan “damned if you do and damned if you don’t”.
Women? Close your legs girlies. You are the Holy Grail for the crusaders. Your vagina and your reproductive decisions and your right to decide your own fate. Rape? Nahh. You asked for it? It wasn’t really rape. That outfit. Gang rape? College boy antics. Drugged date rape? Well – what did you think would happen? This is mainly white guy rape. Black guy rape is depraved. Period.
Abortion – or as I call it “choice” = murder. You are going to burn in hell. Don’t believe in hell? Well THEY do and that’s where you are going because they do. The babies. Ask them. I have no idea.
Gay? Shame, shame, shame. Well mostly males shame, shame, shame. Straight men like to watch “two gals go at it”, so Lesbians take less of a hit – but they are disgusting in general because they do not all look like Penthouse models. And a good shtup would cure all that anyway – preferably using their penis. Gay marriage? Legal, mostly but disgusting too. Pray it away but not in their churches because it is against God’s will. Which God? You can love your fellow person but make sure it is not your fellow man if you are a man and not your fellow woman, if you are a woman (unless you are Penthouse material).
Universal health care? Commie, pinko, socialist, weirdo wrong. Uncivilized even. Oh Canada.
Jingo Journalism. Sounds like a jumprope rhyme. Reads like a jumprope rhyme. Proliferating in geometric progressions.
Peace? Highly overrated because it is a fantasy. We like to kill. Been doing it since written history. We love it. Any method, any reason, anywhere. This is a blood soaked planet.
So as I approach another alpha boomer birthday, this is what gets my goat. This not all that gets my goat but this is today’s list. Don’t abandon hope,but don’t confuse this with the Age of Aquarius because it isn’t.

You can find me on FB and I have found a very fine group of FBFs with similar thoughts and opinions as mine. That’s what it’s for isn’t it. So I can be found there – just FYI.
When George Zimmerman was acquitted of the charges against him in Florida for the cold-blooded shooting of an unarmed teen-age boy it made my heart twist and hurt and ache and then I got very angry. You see I was a teen-age girl in the Civil Rights Era and I was nurtured in my feelings by my own father who did not play racism. But he never told me it was going to go away just because MLK Jr. had a dream or because I stocked a “Negro” college in the South with donated books (they had none) or because I sang (off key) Kumbayah. The entrenched ugliness of this country’s relationship to race was far too old and too polarized to make that happen quickly. We felt in 1964 we were making a dent. When I was old enough to know much more about the matter I saw the dent was made in 1865 and destroyed by the name of Jim Crow. In the brief glorious time between 1865 and Jim Crow – the black colleges were founded, black writers wrote, black politicians gave voice to the needs of a whole new group of voters. Freed men and women flocked to find work and education and a better life until they were deemed separate, oh but by the way, equal – just not in white folks domains.
If I didn’t believe that for a second (and I have always known how white folks felt) I believed after Trayvon Martin was murdered by a self declared vigilante with a gun and no reason to shoot. Trayvon had a bag of Skittles, an Arizona ice tea and was walking home while black when George Zimmerman – the poster boy for Big Bullydom, decided to stop him with no cause and no right. And then he shot him – not to scare or wound or threaten but to kill. Bang, bang Trayvon is dead. GZ has the smoking gun in his hand. A few days later (after anyone else would have been charged, jailed and held), GZ was out on the streets, begging for money on the Internet and Trayvon was stone cold and in the morgue. And when at last the trial took placed, six Bingo ladies fell in love with their handsome defendant protector who made sure none of those nasty black thugs in hoodies came into their neighborhoods (armed with Skittles and ice tea) andsaid – no – not our George. He is NOT guilty. And Trayvon is still cold and six feet under and George is a free man.This morning our president, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, the son of a white mother and black father spoke on a subject he has known all his life. Being black and male in America. This is part of what he said:
But in an unusually personal moment, he began talking about the broader context of the case and the need to better understand the experiences of black men in this country.
“I think it’s important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn’t go away,” Obama said. “There are very few African-American men in this country who haven’t had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me.”
He went on to recount instances when he had heard “the locks click on the doors of cars” as he walked down the street. African-American men are used to getting into an elevator and seeing a fellow passenger “clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off,” he said.
