Celebrating Black History Month


              
So, What fucking year is it? Where am I? What the fuck is going on here? 

The cartoon, you all know. The pic is a shot of a couple of animal rights activist from that altruistic, make the world a better place group: PETA.  They are protesting a fucking dog show. The pamphlets explain how the American Kennel Club is just like the KKK because they continue to purvey the unspeakable evil of pure bread dogs. And that, according to PETA, is just like the Royal Knights of the Ku Klux Klan attempting to exterminate black people in pursuit of there pure white America (and the world if they thought it was possible). Take a minute to digest that...

Now to Rupert's Rag. How in the hell does this get published. This is one of those racist situations that Dave Chapelle describes as "Seeing something so racist, that you can't even speak for a second". Not only is the first black president (and by proxy, all black people) a monkey; he's a fucking dead one. Shot by two white cops! I don't want to hear shit about some monkey in Connecticut or Rhode Island or where ever the fuck either. I had not even heard that story until after I saw the cartoon. The "artist" new what this meant when he submitted it. He knew, and he didn't care, and neither did anyone at the fucking Post. 

So what have we learned during black history month folks? 

That its fine to use the image of an organization bent on the extermination of an entire race, and the power of that image, to prove the point that you don't like the idea of pure bread dogs. Cuz, hey, exterminating black people is just like breeding two yorkshire terriers. And our second lesson: black people are monkeys, not human beings as we thought, and they should be shot. 

And yes, this is my second racism post in a row. I'm black every day, and this shit keeps happening. What the fuck do you want from me?
