Group Identity Politics

White homosexuals
Got Negro Liberals
Championing their issues
with passion
like Gay is the new Affirmative Action

If I am the ignorant Negro... Then you must be the overly closet cased oreo overly fascinated with every thing gay... While you foam at the mouth with anti-gayness/promotion of marriage and gangsta rappers who demoted meaninful relationships with women (contradiction #62) your tax dollars and the government by which controls the laws and roads by which you travel to your white golf resorts is crumbling beneath your Gucci loafers. So keep on calling moi names soul brother #68... Cuz someone obviously owes you ONE!... If you know what I mean. WASHINGTON — The next president will inherit a record budget deficit of $482 billion, according to a new Bush administration estimate released Monday.

Not always agree with them, but definitely support. Unless they're co-opting self-hatred and trying to pull a slave catcher move.; Jul 26, 2008, 11:59:00 PM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
