White Subjugation

Found this while perusing a Twitter thread. Found it interesting that, one, people would willingly do this and secondly, people who are protesting against racial injustice would require "white folks" to behave this way.

Occupy Wall Street – What’s the Effect on Campaigning?

Occupy Wall Street has taken up residence here in New York for 24 days now, and we’ve had a chance to hear what a few of the GOP presidential candidates have to say on the matter. But is this protest going to have any effect on the 2012 elections, or how candidates will campaign going forward?

Well naturally there’s no clear-cut yes or no on this one. The answer is: it depends.

This movement, which has drawn comparisons to the Tea Party movement – as in the exact opposite, but budding in the same fashion – could definitely take root into American politics if, like the Tea Party, it organizes itself, creates a leadership structure, and defines a message.

After three weeks, it has done none of these things, and looks as though it’s shaping up to be listed on a “Most Entertaining Memes of 2011″ list. Simply a flash in the pan.

So what will be the determining factor here? Oddly enough, I think it’ll be the weather. I’m not pulling this out of thin air, here, people! I’ve heard several native New Yorkers say “wait ’til the first winter nor’easter blows through, those protesters will be outta here in a flash.” Now I’ve only lived through one New York winter so far, but let me tell ya, they ain’t pretty. We’ve had an indian summer here, an unseasonable 85 degrees in the Big Apple, even today in mid-October, so protesters are mainly out in t-shirts and sandals, but it’ll be winter coat time, soon enough.

A movement of any kind – whether it’s behind a concept, like both the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, or behind a candidate that represents a certain set of principles – requires a great deal of time, planning, coordination and most importantly, clear and decisive messaging.

It took about a couple of months for the Tea Party movement to begin the transition from a gaggle into an organization – and it takes a great deal of passion to put something together even that quickly. But as you may recall, the first ‘official’ Tea Party rally was in mid-February, headed straight into the lovely spring season. I’d be willing to put money down that it’s a lot easier to start a protest in the cold weather, when the fire in your belly will keep you warm, than to stay out in the cold when time and discomfort has worn your nerves thin. Maybe I ought to go down to Wall Street and take a few bets with those 1 percenters! Oh wait, I can’t even get there with all the protesters blocking the streets.

Another strike (besides the weather) for Occupy Wall Street growing legs is that the voters’ attention right now is on the Republican debates, and Democrats are pretty quiet on the national campaign trail. Republican candidates have no desire to bring up the Wall Street mess, because it’s still a mess. There’s no problem that’s been outlined that they can propose to solve. So unless President Obama himself chooses to make hay with some of his biggest financial backers (yes, he had a ton of campaign cash from Wall Street), the protesters will have an even harder time getting the ear of the ‘decision-makers.’

Anyway, time will tell if ‘Wall Street’ will become a campaign issue in 2012. Obviously, it could tie into the economy-talk quite nicely. A few democrats have already ‘endorsed’ it, perhaps as a play for media attention in their home districts – a tactic Idon’t recommend, by the way, because it can (sound)bite you in the ass when the wind blows the other direction.

Only time will tell on this one. In the meantime, it’s fun to watch!

Fairy Tales Can Come True, Well Maybe Not All of Them

Today is Columbus Day, the day we celebrate the discovery of North America by the Italian explorer, Christopher Columbus. It was on this very day in 1492 that Columbus sailed down the Hudson River and discovered North America. It was during this voyage down the Hudson that Columbus encountered the Nicnak andPaddywak Indian tribes, who greeted him with open arms and bundles of beaded necklaces, welcoming him to the New World. Columbus, however, did not share the peaceful enthusiasm of the good natured peaceful Natives, and upon seeing them in gathering on the shores of Lake Gitchegumee in the brightly colored dress, Columbus ordered his men to open fire upon the unsuspecting Natives. The poor Natives never stood a chance. As the .50 caliber machine guns unleashed their deadly missiles, row after row of Native men fell under the deadly fusillade. Soon, all the men of both villages, as well as every surrounding village within a 25 mile radius had been mercilessly slain. As the women and children openly wept for their men, Columbus and his men landed on the shore in their longboats and began a campaign of raping and pillaging that has continued unabated to this day!

Well, now that was fun! Writing fiction I mean. I figured that since today was Columbus Day, and Native American terrorist activist organizations such as AIM (the American Indian Movement) have been protesting Columbus Day all weekend long across the land by spouting their fictional rhetoric concerning Columbus, I thought I would join in the fun. Or maybe I should have simply posted a brief and basic history lesson instead. Dear AIM: Columbus didn’t discover America. In fact, he never once set foot anywhere on North America. In fact, in 1492 he made it to what is now Cuba, Haiti, and some of the Bahamas. That’s it. Sorry to burst your bubble. 

But hey, don’t let facts stop you. Remember, truth is a subjective thing to the liberal mind, so I think you’re okay with your fairy tales, and you know what they say, if you can’t find something to protest, just make something up. Sort of like the Occupy Wall Street folks and others of their ilk around the country these days. See? You’re not the only ones! So cheer up Bucky, liberals, socialists, and communists (sorry for being redundant) across the land are standing alongside you in spirit, in word, and in a haze of marijuana smoke. 

I will leave you now, AIM, with these stirring words of your fellow communist agitator activist, Van Jones, who so epitomizes your plight and your struggle: 

“We’re here to give everything from the people from whom you stole everything.”
