Voting for Obama was a favor to blacks?

White people that voted for Obama are now free to be as racist as they want to be. Yes that’s right. Voting for Obama automatically cancels the debt owed blacks from slavery. It also levels the playing field in all areas of life and makes affirmative action completely unnecessary. Obama’s election means the word “nigger” will never be uttered again except by gangsta rap artists.

Please………….If voting for Obama was actually a substantive favor to blacks then McCain would have won easily. To the contrary, black people did white people a huge favor by voting for Obama. That goes for white conservatives and white liberals. White conservatives usually vote against their economic interests so blacks did them a favor there because Obama will help them much more than McCain would have. White liberals will benefit because whenever the people benefit as a whole then whites always disproportionately benefit because of continued white privilege and supremacy. Obama has ushered in the era of race-neutral, color blindness. Light-skinned black people have never had it so good. They’re everywhere now. Just see how many you see on tv in an hour. You won’t believe it compared to the number of dark-skinned blacks, if you see any of those at all.

There will be no end to the clarion call for reparations so forget about that white folks. All of my black friends report a huge upsurge in white anger, resentment and hostility since Obama won and not only from rednecks but so-called liberals as well. Pulling a lever is easy when there is only one decent choice but I guess reparations are still off the table in the eyes of most whites. That would have gone a long way in resolving the race issue in America. Now the international bankers are making off with everyone’s money, whites included, because whites chose the wrong ally: the rich.

Black people didn’t just do whites a huge favor either. We did gays a favor by voting for Obama. We also did Jews a huge favor because Obama is an unequivocal supported of Israel and AIPAC. Palestinians will continue to be slaughtered unless a powerful outside nation like Russia or China intervenes. In fact black people did everyone a favor by voting for Obama except ourselves. We just gave white people the excuse they need to not feel guilty about 500 years of continuing oppression and their unearned, inherited privilege.

I didn’t vote myself but I would have voted for Nader or McKinney, not Obama. Next time black folk, don’t do us any favors.

Review of Religulous: Maher falls short

I just watched Bill Maher’s documentary Religulous and just like his HBO show “Real Time with Bill Maher” Bill goes easy on the Jews, avoids confronting white supremacy and labels all Arabs as terrorists. Maybe he should do a 9/11 documentary as well. Maher seems to be suffering from a bit of cognitive dissonance at times. He may have been raised Catholic but he’s 100% Jewish and pro-Israel when it comes to Zionism. At one point he makes fun of a group of Jews that protest Israel’s Zionist policies. Judaism itself specifically teaches against the Zionist behavior of the Israeli government and military so why is Maher picking on the good guys?

During the documentary Maher actually relents against religion on several occasions which I found disturbing. Do you stop going to the doctor if your cancer is in remission? He cites one time when he used his belief in God to stop himself from doing something (he never says what it was) as if it really was God that cured his affliction. The point is not whether religion is all bad or not. It isn’t. The point is that the zeal it generates in people has the potential, given the vast technological resources at our current disposal, to wipe out all life on Earth.

At one point Maher talks to a man dressed up as what whites think Jesus would look like; white male, sandals, robe, beard, etc. First of all Jesus was not white. The Bible clearly establishes that he was a Hebrew and Hebrews are not white people with tans. Second Maher just doesn’t seem to grasp the concept of God and country because he refuses to wrestle with white supremacy. Christianity is white nationalism plain and simple. That’s what God and country means. White is right. This is our land. We are our own gods.

Believers always talk about how their beliefs are personal. Beliefs are not personal. They are based on the religion itself you observe unless you invent your own. What believers mean, and we see many examples during the film, is that they don’t want to have to justify the illogic and impossibility of  parts of their religion that makes absolutely no sense because it would and does shake their faith. Maher was verbally attacked and scorned, particularly by the Mormons, for the questions he asked on several occasions. I don’t doubt it could have gotten violent because that is how religious fanatics behave. Agree with me or die!!!

I applaud the film for exposing how modern religions are just plagiarized from earlier ones, mostly Egyptian mythology. It also wraps up with the excellent point that we either have to “grow up or die” because technology and religion are a lethal mix. I only wish it had omitted the Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens-like anti-Arab sentiment that we so often see from white men who do not attack Christianity with the same fervor. People who have nothing to live for are always more willing to die for something.

God is good?

This is a favorite statement of black Christians and Jesus freaks. God is good. Really? God is good? How does one arrive at such a conclusion? Anything that benefits them is seen as good regardless of the impact on others. Saying God is good without the benefit extending to all of humanity is an exercise in egoism, not morality. Isn’t it interesting how some religious people attribute positive things to God while negative things get blamed on either bad luck, Satan or God teaching them a lesson? Which is it? If God can defeat evil whenever it wants why not do it now? Why must the prophecy be fulfilled so that more carnage happens first? What “good” would that do?

The problem isn’t so much whether God is good or not but what is the definition of good. For God to be good God would have to care about every single detail of every person’s life on the planet. If God cares it has a strange way of showing it. It should be painfully obvious that if humans gets to choose what is considered good then we are actually playing the role of God. I know that man made God and not the other way around but religious people seem to think that God exists to serve them instead of them serving it. Saying God is good means God does things for you that you find agreeable whether it’s being in good health, not being homeless, having a good job, having frequent and great sex, etc. What these people overlook is that at the same time God is supposedly blessing them with all these “good” things most other people aren’t getting squat. These may be other Christians, atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims or whoever. If God loves everyone as Christians say  why he would favor some people in this life over others?

This is usually where religious people fall back on their so-called faith. Religious faith means not being able to explain something in such a way that it supports your own beliefs. It is obvious from simple logic that God is not good, at least from a human perspective if it truly is omnipotent. The examples of suffering in this life are too innumerable but religious people say it’s all part of God’s plan or he works in mysterious ways. If that is the case then why don’t they thank God for the bad things that happen to them because those should be equally pleasing if it all comes from God, (assuming you don’t die from whatever happened). Good is a human concept. If there was no lottery then winning the lottery would not be a good thing. It would just be a bunch of words. Humans, like Agent Smith said in the movie “The Matrix”, define themselves through misery. It is this misery that serves as a reference point for what we consider good and bad.

I can decide to do good things at any time of any day that would be interpreted as good by other people or people that may actually benefit from my good deeds. Does that make me a god too since I was able to produce good in the life of another human? Our concepts of good and evil, right and wrong, are purely relativistic. If it makes us feel good then we interpret it as good when in fact the very same occurrence may bring misery and suffering on others. The perfect example is the high standard of living in the United States. Christians believe they are blessed at the expense of others whom God also supposedly loves. I guess Christians think that God just loves Americans more since we have more money and bombs. Our way of life is directly and indirectly responsible for more suffering on the planet than any other single factor in existence today and yet we cling to our VIP status with God. It is delusional at best and abysmally amoral at its worst. Nothing reveals the true lack of morality and innate self-interest of man more than religion. If God really wanted to help us then it would get rid of religion.

Hating Hypocritical Holidays

Christmas is just one of America’s many hypocritical holidays. What I don’t understand is why we continue the ruse, lying to ourselves that it’s all about the birth of Jesus when it’s really the birth of an HDTV that will live much longer than Jesus did. (That was a joke. I don’t believe Jesus ever existed and that is nearly a historical fact. At most he was just man and not divine at all). What would be wrong with expanding Xmas to include several days so that we could get the consumerism over with and then observe the true meaning? Instead we replaced the religion with materialism and commercialism, never looking back. I shouldn’t complain I suppose. After all this is another huge step toward eradicating religion. The problem is that we ignore the religion but still claim to be adherents clinging to our fear of eternal damnation and the social stigma of nonbelief.

It actually makes sense for Xmas to be about consumerism because its predecessors were pagan holidays as well. What doesn’t make sense is to make up another savior using the same recycled dogma we see in almost every religion and then say the savior was born on the day we know is really the Winter Solstice. Religious people are a plagiaristic bunch.

So if truth be told Xmas belongs more to nonbelievers than believers, although I seriously question whether most believers believe anything other than they might go to hell if they don’t say the right things, regardless of what they actually believe. We certainly don’t do as Jesus commanded so that should make us ask: “Do we just not care if we go to hell?” or “Do we just not believe the story” or “Are we so consumed with consumption that we haven’t given it much or any thought?”.  I think most Americans would answer the last one. Christians take the parts of their religion they like and jettison the rest. Try doing that with Islam or Hinduism and see if you wake up with all of your limbs. If you’re lucky they’ll let you choose the one you want to lose.

I’m just bored with America. We’re goofy. Everything and everyone is so shallow and preoccupied with things that don’t matter in the least to anyone but them and their narrow circle of symbiotic consumers. Who cares who won American Idol? I don’t. Who cares if a chocolatier opened at the mall? I don’t. Who cares if Plaxico Burress shot himself with his own gun by mistake? Once again….I don’t give a damn but these are the things people seem to care about, probably because we hear very little else from not reading or listening to non-mainstream sources of media. We live in an infotainment society where few know or care about broader, far reaching issues that impact us and others across the world in substantive ways. Bring that stuff up and you are a party-pooper, nerd, geek or loser. Women are the worst at dishing out these abuses because they have a much more narrow view of what it is to be “normal”. If you don’t fit then they would pretty much rather not even know you existed. Frankly that goes both ways.

Of course Xmas is the only offending holiday. Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Day, President’s Day, Veteran’s Day, Independence Day and others are even more offensive because they deal with reality instead of the mythology of of organized religion. From my point of view I don’t see anything organized about. Maybe that will eventually lead to its demise but for now I’m tired of fighting the hypocrisy and the infantilism. Most of us get what we deserve. Unfortunately I will probably not be one of them.

Suffering refutes benevolence of God

You can break the existence of God argument down into five basic categories. One and only one of these is true unless our brains are simply not wired to conceive such things properly and that may be the case.

1) God exists, is omnipotent and benevolent toward mankind. This one is easily refuted because if God had the power and the will to stop suffering then it would. Believers refute this by saying suffering is necessary to awaken belief but what about the suffering of people that already believe?

2) God exists, is not omnipotent and benevolent toward mankind. This one could be true. God might want to help us but simply cannot. Maybe God is still evolving as well. I have no reason to think it wouldn’t be.

3) God exists, is omnipotent and not benevolent toward mankind. If God wants or allows us to suffer then God does not love us because it could have prevented it by not creating us or by not allowing evolution to evolve us into being. It makes no sense to create a lesser being and then judge them when you already know exactly what they’re going to do.

4) God exists and is neither omnipotent nor benevolent toward mankind. This could be what we might now consider a highly advanced alien species that is very powerful but not omnipotent. They certainly wouldn’t care about our less advanced society given our propensity for violence and other immoral behavior.

5) God does not exist and man simply cannot comprehend that the universe has always existed with no creator. I lean toward the nonexistence of a sentient higher power. Pantheism works for me.

Is God Black?

I was thinking about how black people were brainwashed here and abroad for many centuries and still today in certain areas to believe that God is white. How could that possibly be? If God created man, (which it didn’t because evolution did), then why would a white God create black people first? We know black people came way before whites because white people came from Africans that migrated out of what is now Africa after they lost their pigmentation from climate and diet changes.

The point is only a black God would create black people first. Assuming then that God is black then it also implies that it doesn’t care about black people or else it would never have allowed white supremacy to come into being along with all the oppression of blacks that it entails. That means that since God is black and doesn’t care what happens to black people then God is not love. If God is not love then there is either no benevolent  God or no god at all. Get the picture?

I’m just making the sarcastic yet logical point that race doesn’t make sense. We look the way we look for environmental and genetic reasons only. If there is a God it would have no reason to exist in human form. Such questions are the stuff of folly but many Americans believe God has a race and a gender. What a sick bunch we are but that’s what religion does to people. It gives them hope to believe in things that cannot possibly be true. I wish I could freeze myself or induce a coma until religion was gone and then wake back up to live the rest of my life in peace. Of course someone would probably think I had been resurrected from the dead when I woke up and the whole thing would start all over again.

The racism and illogic in “The Day the Earth Stood Still”

Once again it’s whitey to the rescue. This time whitey is saving the Earth from us. The humans have got to go. Why is the alien, played by Keanu Reeves, reconstructed as a white man when only one in eleven people on the planet is white? I am so tired of this Anglo-centric, socially engineered, Jewish tripe coming out of Hollywood. Greedy old white men are the ones largely responsible for the destruction of the environment so why does the entire human race need to perish when it’s greedy old white men in power who have caused it?

The second problem with this movie is the aliens deciding not to destroy the human race because they realized that humans were at the precipice of change and that we deserved the same chance they themselves had. According to the aliens they evolved over time to save their planet but just in the apparent knick of time. Humans evolve slowly and there is no guarantee that evolution would make us more considerate of the environment or make us more morally upright.

Saving our environment from collapse is a choice that humans need to make in the present which means forgoing profits for the well-being of all living things. Sounds like an easy choice but we are a myopic race. If there is no present danger humans usually see none at all and that is how it will end for us. The elite will one day find another planet to live on and they will leave the rest of us here to die after all resources are exhausted. If we are waiting on evolution to correct our own mistakes then we are really just waiting to die.

Mumbai Mumbo Jumbo

Let me demonstrate to the uninformed how easy it is to figure out how our government works. I haven’t even been closely following the events in Mumbia, formerly Bombay. The corporate media, the only one we have really, has been evoking 9/11 to describe the recent attacks in Mumbai as if the 11,000 people that died in Bhopal from Unocal dumping poison into their environment just happened by accident. That’s the first key: callousness and disregard for all human life except their own worthless existence.

Second who stands to gain from India and Pakistan being at odds? India has the world’s fourth largest supply of oil. Pakistan’s government was involved in orshestrating the 9/11 attacks. India and Pakistan are both nuclear powers who are not part of the Nuclear Non-Profileration Treaty along with North Korea. We all know the US is the largest consumer of oil in the world. We also know that the phony war on terrorism is just to steal oil from the Middle East and ensure Israel’s military dominance of the region.

What else do you need to know? Specifics don’t even matter at this point. Our hands have blood on them. They have since the native American genocide, African slavery and Japanese internment. They still have blood on them and are getting bloodier day by day while the American people sit on their butts watching tv and fighting each other over who gets to serve the very same corporate empire. We a modern day Babylon and I am ashamed to be a US citizen.
