I'm over McW...he's a buster. Next!

I like the post about Newark. Interesting stuff.

McWhorter's a buster but he's one that keeps getting propped up. The Newark thing, where he lifted the events, changed the perps from cops to Black folks, and dropped the whole mess into the Watts riots, was what put me over the edge with him.

What else can be expected? He's so 1845 with his stuff. A real corny throwback.

McW is just the latest Negrobot to roll off the shufflebutt assembly line. When he's outlived his usefulness he will go on display in the Greatest Handkerchief Heads in History exhibit on the first floor of the Zip Coon Museum.

He definitely went in the wrong direction on this one. But that doesn't do one thing in diminishing the truth of his conclusion, conveniently edited out:

Policing for racial sensitivity does not do a thing for black people who need help. There are thousands of black people languishing in shelters and ships after a horrific natural catastrophe – and we're giving someone grief because something he said in passing didn't have a nice ring to it?

But that doesn't do one thing in diminishing the truth of his conclusion

That's not a conclusion, it's an assertion. And no one ever said busting Bennett does anything for people who need shelter.

conveniently edited out:

...because I always ignore strawmen. 

"Policing for racial sensitivity does not do a thing for black people who need help."

Fodder from a strawman.

While shuffling down the yellow brick road to pick up his paycheck at the toady factory, McW had an epiphany. He realized he wasn't craven enough and that if he wanted to rise to the supreme heights of boyhood with the likes of Tomass Clarence, Underarms Williams and the other superstars of the zip coon establishment he would have to defend the tenets and prerogatives of white supremacy with a martyr's zeal. Guarding "white only" restrooms from the black masses, and serving as "Piss Boy" for Bennett, though rewarding tasks, did not bring him the recognition he felt he deserved. What better way to achieve fame and fortune, with the emphasis on fortune, than to shill on paper. He sat right down, took his foot out his mouth, stuck his head up his ass, and went to work.

Imagine how quiet our world would be if cobb, mcw, and their coonies (i meant cronies) were banned or simply ignored when they brought hay from the barn instead of needles!!!

Fugeddaboutit...it's like every post is, like, filled with ideas that, like, depend on, like, some illogical premise or assertion that, like, has no independent coherence. It's like "tautologies for suckas!"

I'm sure these guys are great over a bottle of Jack D or a long tall glass of Sapphire and Tonic, but they on some silly ishnit when it comes to printed word and the flow of a good argument. There's always flaw school.

Is this actually useful? Do college educated people actually talk like this? Are college educated people actually supposed to listen to this?

It's vastly more entertaining and heartfelt than the more reprehensible apologetics for gangsterism and fin d'siecle jim crow required of applicants to the conservative haplotype

cobb:

you've got to admit that o is hilarious. forget about your connection to mcdub or even the use of vulgar language. just picture the detailed imagery, the compelling historical references, the fanciful juxtaposition of ideological extremes, and the down right Redd Foxxian way of bringing the joke home. this is great stuff. if ya ain't laughin' ya lyin'!! i'm still rotflmbao!!!!

i'm still rotflmbao!!!!!

"Is this actually useful? Do college educated people actually talk like this? Are college educated people actually supposed to listen to this?"

Aww, gee, you flatter me Negrodamus. But to answer your question...

Depends on which college you attended. If you're a graduate of the Amos 'n Andy Institute of Tomcoonery and Porch Monkeyology, I admit it might be a tad confusing.

On the other hand, if you went to the Malcolm X School of Tricknology Hermeneutics, then....

i'm still rotflmbao!!!!!

At the Quantum Griot Mystery School, it's taught to fulfill a second language requirement.

guess i've outgrown it. boohab used to roll like that. anyway, you wouldn't call me a coon to my face and keep yours in the same shape.

guess i've outgrown it.

Probably. Damn shame.

you wouldn't call me a coon to my face and keep yours in the same shape.

No doubt. But you know they're playing the dozens and honestly man, you see nobody brings straight-up Democrat shit in here, don't you? How can you defend this sort of rhetoric and expect discussion about it? Be real.

Think about the reaction you get when you advocate conservative values and methods. And think about the reaction you get when you advocate Conservatives.

So I'll play in Blackprof's sandbox when I'm in the mood to be straightlaced. Good to have an alternative from the ruckus. but every once in a while i can get morris day on some monkey asses.

Nothing like a little "Jungle Love" to straighten a brother out.

Oee Oee Ohhh...... 

what's the point of the blackprof link? the first post is fundamentally logical, but in the second post - each of the premises is flawed or false and the conclusion suffers accordingly.

what does any of that have to do with supporting folks whose contempt for your collective is not only considerable, but empirically demonstrable as policy and practice? i wonder.

It's a statement on the futility of Black partisan activities and the necessity of integration.

Eventually, an older scientist tells him the problem:  To understand the career of his favorite insect, he must understand how it is linked with those of other varieties that he has excluded from consideration.  By doing so, the young scientist has lost sight of the interconnectedness of life and the way in which different insects interact in a complex dance that includes food supply, access to light, places to lay eggs, and dozens of other elements essential to flourishing.

Studying race is like studying entomology in that one cannot understand—or even champion effectively—the fortunes of one group without understanding the forces that drive the fates of others.

Which I acknowledge...which is why I'm pointing out HUMAN patterns, and showing how they apply in the conditions we Black folk find ourselves in. I just think an accurate understanding is a better goal than a sympathetic.

I had my first "encounter" with Cobb after I questioned Randall Robinson's statement about cannibalism in the aftermath of Katrina. Cobb took the opening as an invitation to denounce Robinson and claim he had contributed nothing to the struggle. While Robinson was clearly and profoundly wrong in his Katrina outburst (he quickly retracted the statement and apologized), this single incident shouldn't and didn't call into question the man's entire career (except in Cobb's mind of course). It was at that point I became aware of Cobb and his website. Here's a choice example of what I found recently:

Here we have a majority in the House, Senate, the White House, the Supreme Court and probably the Governors as well, and yet there's turmoil over Miers. All this smacks to me of a minority party trying to purge itself in order to make a radical choice clear. That may be useful for what I'm doing against black progressives and black liberals, but fer chrissake, grow up GOP. You're supposed to be leading America, and you're not. 

Cobb makes no bones about his agenda on his website. That's his prerogative. I try to stay as far away from the slave quarters as I can, so he doesn't have to worry about me pulling a Harriet Tubman on him or his readers. But when he ventures out into progressive turf he should expect to catch a rhetorical beatdown.

As for real life encounters--his threat to re-shape my face--he could bring J.C. Watts, Ken Blackwell, Armstrong Williams, LaShawn Barber, Larry Elder, Ward Connerly, and the rest of the Coon-servative Black Sistahood and between them they still couldn't come up with a set of cojones not previously worn by Ann Coulter.
