If there is one thing you can count on from moderate democrats, it is that they will bow to republican demands whenever given the chance. I have discussed in great detail how the moderate approach to politics is the same as the republican approach to politics; there is literally no difference and you are seeing that proven true with the Congress' refusal to demilitarize the police. We knew during the Patriot Act that arming our police officers to the teeth and sending them into the general populous with horror stories of lurking terrorists behind every corner was a bad idea. We knew that the War on Drugs had nothing to do with getting drug dealers off the street, but with arresting as many liberals as possible. We knew that the supposed "communist" threat during the 1950s witch hunts were all made up nonsense. But, time and again, we did absolutely nothing to rectify these problems. Instead we listened to the nice news anchor on TV as he instructed us to fear our neighbors. This is just more of the same. Police are now an active military, patrolling the streets like some sort of occupying force on American soil. They have consistently shown their complete lack of care for the community by participating in illegal drug rings and sex trafficking conspiracies. They also did nothing but listen to Donald Trump the entire time he was in office. They have targeted the black community specifically over and over again. They have been caught tampering with evidence, refusing to cooperate with federal investigations, placing evidence, sabotaging trials, paying off attorneys and judges... The list is too long to write down here. When do we seriously start looking at the police without rose colored glasses and start to pick away at the policies that led to this disgrace in uniform? Why are we so afraid to admit that we have created a monster? I think that about a third of nation has realized that police are out of control, and I also think that the rest of the nation which refuses to do so are part of the problem. There is such a thing as enabling. When Hollywood makes another damn movie like Crash, glorifying the police instead of calling them on their bullshit, people are far more likely to ignore negative police behavior. When Tucker Carlson gets on the news and starts making all kinds of nonsensical statements about liberal terrorism it encourages people to not take well-meaning people who are looking to reform the police seriously. So when I see supposedly fair and balanced news media side with republicans and moderates on this issue, I have to say something because if I do not, then people will think it is just fine to ignore the defund the police movement, that they have not valid points. But Defund the police does have valid points. There is a problem with police corruption and it does not just effect black people and liberals. Illegal search and seizures are common problems in this nation. There are records of physical abuse being used to extract confessions. Militaristic like tactics are employed to break up any strike that is not sanctioned by a union. The use of hostile tactics were well documented during the black lives matter protests. The evidence of excessive force does not just end with black men either. It extends to any person, regardless of race, religion or sex that takes a stand against their corruption. This is not to say that every person who criticizes the police is targeted, but it is to say that any large movement that does so is maligned in the media. The mincing of words by focusing on impressing mostly white critics by choosing their dialogue is just a sophisticated form of rebranding. Then the mostly wealthy white congress can pass a wealthy white law that will benefit mostly wealthy white people. I say let black lives matter maintain what they have created. Of course it is considered loud, obnoxious and unseemly. And why? Because it was created for black people, specifically poor black people. 

After the recent shooting in San Jose, California, where a deranged VTA employee executed several coworkers he targeted for extermination, I immediately had an inkling the shooting had something to do with a grievance within the workplace. All the signs were there, the fact that it took place at the fuel station where no customers really were, the fact that the perpetrator's house was set on fire, the fact that certain victims were spared while others were treated like animals for slaughter. All of this shows a kind of coldness for a particular hard work ethic we value so dearly in our society, a kind of lashing out against the elusive "establishment". It is so sad that this happened because I believe it could have been avoided, that is what a coworker of the shooter stated several days after the incident; he said that the shooter was not that bad a person and that he was often made fun of at work. Workplace bullying is a real problem, though it certainly does not justify violent acts like mass shootings. We have to remember how much stress everyone is currently under, that they are on the brink of insanity working at these very dangerous jobs during a deadly pandemic. Any of us could snap under such conditions. Yet people refuse to admit to their vulnerability; they say, "no, that would never be me". Do you really believe that? How could you even know what you would do under a situation you have never been in before? No matter how much you talk, you do not know what you would do until you are faced with the situation. If we are going to teach equality, if we are going to pretend to be such a kindly society based on empathy, and then fail to live up to that promise, we will suffer the consequences. Now, obviously we are taught that the proper thing to do is suffer. We are taught that fighting against authority figures is downright evil while the very same authority figures flout the laws they make. We are taught not to be frustrated with this. We are taught to ignore the very real problems with this false empathy that is becoming more and more popular. We are instructed, by people who do not care about us, to feel better, to look better, to do better. It is always a problem with the individual; the society is never held accountable. The authority figures are held even less accountable. It is easy to blame guns; it is easy to say that, had we taken the shooter's guns, then this would never have happened. I am not entirely convinced that is true. Just think of all the people with guns in this nation. Do you really think all of these people have the potential to become mass shooters? There are too many people with guns for that to even be possible. During difficult times we search for the easy answers. This provides us with comfort, but it is only temporary. This will happen again and again and again, but not because of guns. It will happen because humans are selfish. They believe that they are not responsible for others. They believe that they can walk all over the average person, using them as a stepping stool to get to the top. I have explained to you that this system is cutthroat. It minimizes human beings to human capital, another asset for the fat cats to exploit. Revenge killings abound in such an environment. We saw something similar during the anarchy movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Now we are seeing it in a form that we are not so familiar with. Anarchism is easy to neutralize when it is organized, but this is not what we are seeing. There are no traditional politics behind these mass shootings. People are not using the legal system to make change; they are taking it into their own hands in a last ditch effort to be recognized...for anything. If you have not been to edge of sanity and back, you will not understand a lot of what I have to say in this episode, but it needs to be said regardless. I have been silent about the painfully obvious cause of workplace shootings for too long. 

Let free dumb ring! God bless hysteria! I love this nation, don't you? Life, liberty and the pursuit ass backwardness. I personally could not be prouder to be an American. You may think that is a joke, and so do I, but that does not stop it from being true. We often take our freedom to throw a hissy fit for granted. Stuff like that is not really allowed under strict authoritarian regimes. When you are in America, you are permitted for ride pretty high on the train to crazy town; hell, they might even buy you a free ticket. When I think of all the ways a person could go mad in this country, I am not at all surprised by this panic about vaccines. The anti-vaxx lobby is extremely powerful and transcends political parties. A common reason for this is that people have had some sort of difficulty with their medical background, so much so that they no loner trust health professionals. Many stated that ignoring this problem would somehow make it go away, that leaving the anti-vaxxers to realize the error of their ways in their own time would eventually drive them to receive the vaccine. That plan has failed miserably, so much so that I have recently seen cash incentives for getting the vaccine. Really? Where the hell is my damn money for getting the vaccine? All I got was a "hero" sticker from the dollar tree! That is America for you, always rewarding the late birds. Anyway, I do not really care about the money; I am only highlighting the point that the vaccine rollout is taking far too long to be as effective as many had previously hoped for. Meanwhile, people are busy traveling during yet another holiday. Who knows who will contract the new Vietnamese variant? Who knows how deadly it is? Does anyone even consider such things or is this officially on the ever-growing list of "downer" topics, right next to exercise and politics? At times it feels as if this society has become so careless that destroying itself is its only past time, one which we are always growing more efficient at. The anti-vaxxers that remain are only going to become louder as their numbers slowly dwindle. Before there was some chance that you could come across a normal anti-vaxxer, one who would not a pull a knife on you for asking them to put on a mask inside a Walmart. Those days are long gone. Now all you will find are a gang of crazy ass Karens and Kens ready to take on the world with their list of constitutional quotes. These people are a threat to society; they clearly do not care about rebuilding our fractured community. I am sick of these people. I no longer hold any sympathy for them. How much more time do these people need to be convinced? Are they just going to wait around a few more years to see how things turn out? What a joke this silly affair is. You really have to appreciate the humor behind the horror, all of this hooting and hollering and posturing...And for what? What are people gaining by being so damn stubborn? If you want to be selfish, then get the vaccine! That is the perfect way to care about your body or whatever the hell you want to say. And what is this "my body my choice" crap from the people plotting to end Roe V. Wade? They are throwing salt in a gaping wound by making such a statement and they know that. We do not have to take this. It is not normal to sit on your hands while people squash your rights and plot to make you sick at the same time. These idiots do not deserve the time of day, let alone a cash payment. The craziest part about these wonderful morons is that they actually want you to forgo your safety, health and life for, wait for it...an unmasked smile. Of course that is what they want. What conservative do you know that does not want you to grin and bear it. Well, here you go GOP! Do you see me smiling? I have a big smile on my face knowing that this is what you have become, a party of simpletons. That is enough to make anyone in this country smile. God bless hysteria! God bless the USA...whoever is left anyway.

The only word that comes to mind when I think of the case of Ronald Greene is "tragedy". It is tragic for so many reasons: tragic because of the fear he must have felt, tragic to see another black man beaten like a dog in the street (worse than a dog in the street; we all know cops love dogs more than black people), tragic because this god fearing man was treated like a common criminal even though he followed the appropriate christian social cues (no love for thy neighbor is the white christian blue lives matter lexicon), but most of all it is tragic because it has given the media a chance to pretend it actually cares again. It is almost painful watching these high salaried intellectuals attempt to feign interest in the matter of the black American populous. What do they know about it? The cops are not coming to their news studios with SWAT teams; they are protected because they are a part of the establishment. They are on television everyday, telling you that congress is going to beat the republicans this time, wondering how much further they can stretch that lie until their ratings take a plunge. Am I saying that media gets paid off by political interest? Perhaps. It would not be all that shocking to me if it had come to that; the news is so plain Jane these days that it would not surprise me one bit. I have also seen documentaries, some of them very well done, exposing the clash between corporate media companies and their sponsors; often times such reports leak after solid investigative reporters do a shocking report on a particular sponsor of their network. The exposed corporation then threatens to pull out their cash unless the reports are silenced. The network, scared like a bunch of little babies about losing a few viewers from their already massive followings, kills the report, generally causing the investigative reporter to resign (sometimes willingly and sometimes not). Though, the aforementioned scenario makes for great documentaries, I would much rather my news station opt for exposing the truth. What is it exactly that they are supposed to do aside from telling the truth? Are we watching the news for the witty banter? Because if that is the case these lame reporters should be filed under daytime television. The New York Times recently wrote an article entitled, "Four Ways the United States Has Changed Since George Flyod's Death". Now, after a long day of watching people mock George Flyod on the one year anniversary of his death, you may understand how I would be a bit irritated. Any comment sections beneath a video about Flyod is full of comments that basically say he deserved to die a horrible death. That is how many Americans feel. How many Americans feel this way? Well, if you look at the data, you will see it is the exact same amount of people that thought he should have died in the street like a dog a year ago. So, literally nothing has changed. Nothing. Where do such reports even originate? In the land of rainbows and puppy dogs perhaps. Who knows? The human mind is quite funny; it tends to wrap things up in neat little packages when it tires of them, maybe apply a fresh coat of paint here and there. But that does not fix any problems and, of course, this is the point. When the media comes in and attempts to pretty up the neglect for black humanity in this country it is my job to call that out. Why? Because of my child. Because I want him to at least see me stand up for myself. It is the least I can do for him. So what if it offends you or anyone else? It's not about you or anyone else. Of course you are tired of hearing about black people. That was always expected. What am I to do? Discard my convictions for your comfort? I cannot. I will not. What happened to Ronald Greene was not unforgivable. You just cannot say, "well, I'll get over it" to something like that, not after seeing the tape. I still feel the same way I always have about abuse of power as I always have as well. I despise it even still.

When I say traitor, you say Joe's. Traitor Joe's! Traitor Joe's! It never feels good to have someone you trust betray you and it feels even worse when they try to cover it up with lies. Deception is a common technique for corporations. What goes on outside of the company is often times very different what is occurring on the inside. The press has a way of making companies look innocent, even pure of heart, but no such thing exist in real life. Companies exist to make money; they have no other purpose. The fact that a person views a company as a friend or a place for them is only a testament to a brilliantly designed marketing campaign, not the company's core values. But products take on an almost political identity once marketers are through with them. This is not an accident, but a well thought out ploy to develop customer loyalty to the product being sold. Political issues evoke emotional responses and we are constantly looking for avenues to express these emotions, especially since we have such little real representation by our government and because talking about politics amongst family and friends is heavily discouraged. The company evokes these emotions using key words extracted from whatever political movement is popular at the moment. These advertising campaigns are not at all static and change often depending on the popularity of political figures involved. Companies are mainly concerned with moving products, not making a statement; so they are prone to disposing of unpopular movements. The Free Tibet movement was disposed of by nearly all companies as soon as China cried foul. Trader Joe's on the other hand has a huge problem with protecting their workers from getting sick. I have disturbing reports of Trader Joe's firing or suspending employees who asked for PPE or who wanted to wear a face mask at the beginning of the pandemic. There were also reports of Trader Joe's employees being forced to take a break so that they could walk across the store and wash their hands; gloves were also discouraged and refused when employees requested them. Apparently this was all done in the name of "not scaring" customers. It all seems a little silly now, considering that had we all worked together to slow the spread, there would be no need to panic at all. You would think that a grocer would be the most strict when it comes to stopping the spread of covid-19 because they are the ones that have profited the most, apart from tech companies, during this pandemic. If anything, their working conditions should improve from all of that excess profit, not diminish. Yet standards were simply ignored, overlooked or dismissed as causing a panic. I think it speaks volume that the CEO of Trader Joe's, Dan Bane, shares a name with the Batman villain, Bane, who devises several plots to take over the world as the dark night races to save everyone. You have to be pretty evil to refuse to erect plexiglass barriers on your check out stands because you do not want to ruin the ambiance of goofy Hawaiian shirts and free frozen ravioli. Yes, we simply could not live without unnecessary frivolous bullshit during these trying times. Will employers ever learn that people are not going on some silly adventure when they go out shopping for dinner or will they continue to act as if offering free samples of subpar food actually increases sales? Is this supposed to be the alternative to unions or something? A fat cat corporate entity that treats its employees like Amazon while marketing itself as the grocer version of Ben and Jerry's? I personally do not think companies should even be able to participate in the political process. These corporations do not even abide by our laws, yet they are able to lie about their political affiliations to their customers and then use that money for causes contrary to the values of their customers. You should not be able to game the system like that; people should at least be able to expect a little honesty. 

No, this is not a video about hating dogs or any animal for that matter. So just relax for a moment. Breathe in. Now breathe out. There you go. Just thought I would calm you down a bit. Look, I do not mind if you like your dog more than your mom; that is your business. For all I know, your dog can do all kinds of cool dog tricks that are worth more than the torturous labor your mother went to bringing you into the world. That is just fine with me. I really do not care. I have just always been fascinated by the human obsession with other species of animals, a trait that only seems to effect the human animal specifically. I mean, think about it, generally the only interaction most animals have with other humans is when humans go on safari or some other type of dumb ass hunting expedition. Sure, there are the occasional exceptions (alligator or polar bear attacks for example) but those are generally caused by man made climate change; yet again, another example of animals not wanting to associate with us, but being force to do so to survive. So what makes us so different? Why are we the only animal that gives a damn about other animals? For the longest time, I thought humans were just bored and maybe a little suicidal. Hugging a gorilla or shoving your head into a lion's mouth are extremely dangerous, and only exercises that humans would participate in. But it appears as if our taste for animal love goes further than just the occasional lust for an adrenaline rush. In a recent study humans reacted with similar levels of empathy toward news articles about an adult dog, a puppy, and a human infant that had been seriously injured; but they experienced lower levels of empathy for an adult human. This explains so much about the human psyche that I have already labeled humans as the first and possibly last self-hating species. This makes sense, considering the rise in suicidal behavior over the last few decades. Humans hate themselves and each other. It appears that the only thing that keeps the human species afloat is its need for loyalty and obedience. We all know man's best friend is the dog in many western nations, though not all. The canine is an interesting creature; it has evolved to feel emotional connections to human beings and has even been demonstrated to display extreme levels of affection toward their masters. But the whole relationship is a bit one sided. Sure, the dog is not solely interested in food, but the love one receives from a dog is much like the one you receive from an infant, immature and uninformed. I imagine it is fun being a dog, seeing the world full of wonder and amazement. If humans acted that way I am sure that people would prefer the company of other humans. Imagine being able to give your lover a treat at night and call it a day. Wouldn't that be...fun? No, not really. But it would be easy and I really think that is the appealing thing about dogs. They are easy to care for; they do not require much, not until old age anyway, but that is any animal. My dog, for example, is so small that it takes her a few days to get through a can of food. Humans just are not that agreeable, not friendly to the budget. I would not be surprised if, instead of having several children, you will soon start to see married couples adopting three or four dogs and settling down together with plenty of kibbles and bits. We already have the fury thing going. It is only a matter of time before people will have to dress up in elaborate dog costumes to attract a mate. Furcon will be the next dating game! Yeah, an animal that licks its own ass is far superior to any of that human connection crap. I am sure that this is perfectly healthy as long as you know that you are a misanthrope. Placing all of one's love in the an animal that can be trained to tear a human adult to shreds is perfectly normal behavior...for the west, and I honestly do not care if it ever changes. Just keep your puppy's ass germs the hell away from me 

Black America is currently under direct attack by white establishment conservatives formerly known as the New Right, not to be mistaken with the alt-right, which is a whole other brand of insanity. The New Right is the same band of Regan worshipers I have been decrying for years now. I think that these good old boys are far more dangerous than any proud gang of crackers dressed like a members of some bullshit SWAT team. You must always remember that the term "war on terror" originated with Reagan and his band of merry men. It was Reagan's war on terror, which would include an ill informed attack on the middle east led by none other than Osama Bin Laden and Al Quaeda, that eventually caused the September 11 attacks in the year 2001. Though many alt right dummies claim that this was Bush Jr's fault, nothing can further from the truth. Apart from the fact that Bush Jr. benefited no way from the 9/11 attacks, ignoring Reagan's overly ambitious attempts at manufacturing western democracies in the middle east to combat communist influence from the east, namely Russia. Then there was the Iran-Contra affair, not to mention Reagan's increase in use of violent policing techniques, which he borrowed from the creator of the eve less informed "war on drugs". Over the next four decades Americans would watch in shame as the New Right poured money down the drain "fighting the war on drugs" only to see drug use increase at the very same time arrests increased. Now who could have saw that coming? Oh yeah, anyone but the New Right! Of course the New Right did not get everything they wanted back then, and many of their welfare cuts, which led to the starvation and dehumanization of countless women and children of color, were later restored, they are back again, and this time they have the supreme court on their side. As expected, establishment democrats have done precious little to prevent this. Today I actually saw Joe Biden sitting around eating chocolate ice cream when asked about the defeat of his recent infrastructure bill. Why is everyone in the democratic party so goddamn comfortable? Do they realize that they cannot win elections without the black vote? Are they on vacation? What gives? Why won't they just pack the courts and put an end to this nonsense before black people are turned away at the polls? Why is everything such a slow, stupid march for the democrats? Why don't they act, ever? It would be nice to know that our supposed representatives actually gave a damn about their voting base for a change. I also think its disgraceful that we even have to have a discussion about teaching black history better in this nation. Everyone knows the historical accounts of this country are uneducated drivel. Any curriculum about black history would be better than the one we have that just portrays slavery as a summer vacation with white folks. I cannot honestly send my child into a classroom full of white children to learn this mess. The poor boy will come back European for crying out loud! I know that school is supposed to be about training children how to behave in society, but this ain't funny anymore. I am not going to lie to my child and act like white people are some kind of saints from upon high who saved us from Africa. It is time to teach the truth, not how to bullshit your way through college and get a paycheck. All white people ever say is that the past does not matter. Well, if it does not matter then why the hell are you so goddamn afraid of teaching it? Tell it like it is honky! You know damn well your ancestors enslaved black people because they were too lazy to pick their own damn crops. That is the only reason. Tell your children the damn truth. You have some lazy damn ancestors that are really good at three things: lying, making weapons and stealing brown people's land and culture. And now you favorite companies (Amazon, Mcdonalds, Coca-Cola, Walmart, Disney, etc.) are carrying on that lineage. What a wonderful world 

Now you know damn well that Majorie Taylor Greene is crazy. No, no, do not sugar coat it; that woman is not mentally ill. There is no way any mentally ill person could possibly be that damn insane. Greene is one of those people who obviously stopped caring about what others think of her. She has such bravado about her false patriotism that she has probably actually fooled herself into believing that she cares actually cares what happens to this country after the Q-Anon craze has died down. Of course, if it is up to good old Majorie, that will never happen. In order to profit from conspiracy theories, one must be sure to evolve with them. It becomes necessary to create show stopping moments when your entire political career is an act. You simply have to keep the hits coming. So now Marge has decided to compare mask wearing to the little gold stars placed on Jewish people during the Holocaust. Of course the trained republican response was swift and delivered in a timely manner on the appropriate channels. All politicians are well trained to perform this song and dance whenever one of their members gets a little too out of line; it is a classic case of damage control. But where did Greene get the idea for her little rant? As much as I am sure you would all love to believe that she is as creative as she is nuts, that is simply not the case. Politicians are not a very creative bunch; they follow things by the book. They are yes men and women who are basically told what to do by the largest bidder. Behind every rambling politician's incoherent dribble, there is undoubtedly a puppet master pulling the strings. Therefore, it should be quite striking that calling liberals nazis is just another common past time for the right in this country. This became popular during the Obama administration. You see, to the right, socialism equals nazis. Yeah, I know it is dumb equation; hell, it's not even an equation at all. It is more like a statement of divine truth, a holy relic dusted off every year to revive the hatred of comfort in Americans. The comparisons between nazi Germany and Obama's America were manifold during his reign, and continue to the present day. From time to time, I still recall the famed "change" poster of the former president being defamed with a Hitler mustache by right wing propagandists. Those were the days of fema camps and aliens building pyramids, long before the Q cult started to take shape. Right wing conspiracy theories were simpler back then. They went something like this, "Oh look, a democrat. Nazi!" Pretty much anyone who worked near or close to Obama was a Nazi back then. The fema camps were supposed to be the final solution for unemployed Americans. Alex Jones foolishly stumbled upon a bunch of plastic cargo boxes on the Jesse Ventura show and began ranting and raving about genocide. All of this occurred on Ventura's show, Conspiracy Theory. Yes, that was broadcast on national television. Not to mention the many, many times conservatives have implied that liberal policies are forms of "slavery", another shocking crime of American history that republicans are busily trying to erase from the history books. As I sit here writing this, republicans are busy decrying the 1619 project, busy cutting back affirmative action, busy destroying the voting rights act, busy denying abortion rights to women, busy, busy, busy... But when the camera's turned on and they are trying to win an election, all of a sudden they remember they have to at least pretend to care on an occasional basis. One after one, republicans proceeded to apologize for the horrible antisemitism their party exudes. I wonder if they would have done the same thing had they not just spent the last two weeks screaming at democrats for "not supporting Israel". I suppose the conservatives are only interested in supporting Jewish people who live overseas. I guess a little civility for the Jewish citizens of this nation is just too much to ask.  

The anti "cancel culture" hacks are at it again, discouraging young comedians instead of encouraging them as usual. It kind of makes sense when you think about it; the last thing a subpar comedian wants is for new talent to become widely available. Then they might actually have to write new material and you know damn well they cannot do that. There is plenty of evidence for what I am saying. If you listen to stand up acts, really listen to them, you will find that most of the acts are a mixture of old and new jokes. Comedians supposedly do this because they are touring and too busy to come up with new material every night. This would make sense if these comedians, you know, toured. However, the nature of the popular standup game is not what it used to be. Popular comedians may have toured at some point in their careers, but after they have starred in a number of movies and TV shows, they go on huge breaks from the stand up acts at the night clubs. In other words, these comedians have plenty of time to come up with new jokes. So, why don't they? They believe they have already done the work that is needed, that the jokes they told in the nineties, when almost everyone was prosperous or at least middle class, are still just as relevant in the wild thunder dome that is today's American economy. They do not understand why a poor person in America, who is already abused on a ritualistic basis by every person they see, wants to hear a standup comedy bit about how poor people are on crack. They think that a gay people, who are currently under a very real threat of losing pretty much all of the rights they have been afforded in recent decades, want to hear jokes about Freddie Mercury dying of AIDS, not because AIDS is a sexually transmissible disease that anyone can get (I'm talking to you Dave Chapelle), but because he was a homosexual. The comedians of today believe that they should be able to mock women and all of their achievements as women are currently losing their right to choose what to do with semen that enters their bodies. The entire field of comedy has made a massive swing to the right, attacking free speech and civil rights everywhere they can so that they can make money off of their right wing fans. Basically, what happened is the left ran out of money so now all these supposed "liberal" comics are licking the ass of the right wing so that they can keep getting that Patreon money. Well, if you are going to do that, if you are going to betray the people who got you where you are in the first place, then prepare to hear me mock you just as you have mocked us standup comedians. These lames ass comics have no right instructing you on what is and is not "proper" comedy. Since when do comedians get to say whatever the hell they want? Do you remember Michael Richard's little tirade where he proceeded to call a black customer "a nigger" and even threatened to "hang him from a tree with a fork up his ass" all because black people were talking during their shows? Perhaps this is the kind of innovative comedy that people like Chris Rock defend in the New York Post. I mean, why should we censor people who call us names and threaten to kill us? Shouldn't we just allow them to do that? I mean, it's their right. This is the kind of idiocy that really riles my last nerve. If these comedians are so damn funny, why do they have explain their damn jokes to every person they tell them to? Why isn't anyone laughing anymore? And please, please, please stop blaming it on cancel culture. Which of these comedians have been canceled? Which of these comedians are not currently making millions of dollars? Check their net worth and you will find that what I am saying is true. During her latest white temper tantrum, shock comedian Sarah Silverman neglected to mention that she was worth eight million dollars while crying about cancel culture. I wonder how much money black people spent on her lame ass jokes for the past few decades. 

Misconceptions about the amazing lives of the rich and famous have abounded for decades, perhaps even centuries. The wild imaginings of every day people seem to come to life in the form of the wealthy celebrity, but is that really the case? Do we know these people intimately? And, if we do not, how can we possibly know what their lifestyles are actually like? To fill this void, this yearning for a personal relationship with the unattainable, people seek to fulfill their fantasies online. Social media acts as a wonderful medium for sharing interesting habits, which tend to then turn into internet cultures; as with religion or politics, there is nothing inherently wrong with this. It is only natural for people to desire a sense of community, a connection with those similar to them. However, we know that this does not always end well, if it ever does at all. In fact, I would say that most of the time we are really only taking a piss with our pretense about developing "communities". Perhaps we are only pursuing the mysteries of wealth, the greed warned of in religious and scientific texts. It really does have a tendency to end in ruin, this obsession with abundance; our decaying planet is demonstrating this as we speak. I am sure all that has been written about our destructive pattern, clearly displayed down through the ages, will be revised as enlightened brilliance by the deigned purveyors of history. I realize that complaining only makes the masters upset; it rocks the boat. It kills jobs offers and that would totally matter...if there were any real job offers, any real boats...any real masters. No one is my master, thank you very much. I remember hearing some white reporter blather on about things we say on social media killing our opportunities for future job offers. You know what they mean by that, don't you? They do not want to hire people who act too black. You know that. Hell, they do not even want people who are too brown. And you should know what I mean by act black. It is a certain bravado, a character trait that demands respect. There ain't no such thing as too black. And as the great Paul Mooney once said, "They never talk about being too white. You can't be too white." You sure can't; it is only ever too black. You hear these people complaining about black music all the damn time. You should see these pompous asses on the internet, acting like they understand black people more than other white people. It's the same damn white people, with their usual cast of not too black characters. At the end of the day, these people, these influencers, are rich. And you do not know how they became rich; it is difficult to make it in America. It takes a whole lot more than brilliance; you either have connections, money or both. So, if we are going on about morality in the way we normally do, what is the moral character of popular influencers? Are the people you are following following your code of conduct or any at all for that matter? It turns out that some are leading double lives. It is for this reason that I have deemed social media influencers the new and improved reality television shows. Now, you can finally have all of the fake ass superficial entertainment you want right at the touch of a button and you can even personalize to your liking. Now, that's good television folks. Seriously though, in this gruesome episode I reveal awful child abuse, horrible eating disorders masked by popular diets and even downright creepy stalking. This episode is one of my personal favorites because it is not about witch hunting these people, but realizing that they are human beings. This should reminds us to not shape our lives to fit the preferences of these people. Sure, none of this stuff is going to kill you and banning it would probably only make it worse. But sometimes the answer is not a new law. Sometimes we just need to cut through the bullshit. So remember, at the end of the day, it's all just shadows on a wall.
