The Farmer’s Market on Fairfax and 3rd is a Los Angeles landmark, attracting tourists and everyday Angelinos alike, as well as many famous faces. Among the celebrities I have seen there are Muhammad Ali, Terri Garr, Tyra Banks, Laura Linney, Keenan Ivory Wayans, the guitarist for The Cult, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, and Weird Al Yankovic.
But Ann Coulter is the only celebrity I’ve ever spotted at Farmer’s Market that I wound up fucking in the ass, hard.
It would be fair to observe that my feeling obligated to present the list of celebrities above in roughly Black-White-Black-White order is indicative of my own carefully Liberal sensibilities. And that this sort of conscientiousness is more than a little ridiculous, on examination. But what I notice about myself only on reflection, Ann Coulter seemed to recognize and respond to in an instant, like a puma recognizes an injured giselle. For Ann Coulter is a predator. A predator with a hungry asshole.
I first spotted her sitting at a table in front of The Gumbo Pot with another woman who looked not unlike her, but a generation older (I neglected to ask her at any point subsequently whether this had in fact been her mother). I vaguely recognized her—there’s always a lag time placing faces you know from cable when unconfined to a telescreen—and began to notice, stealing furtive glances up from the copy of Steinbeck I was reading, that she was eyeing me with unsettling scrutiny.
The next thing I knew, her companion (mother?) had left and Coulter was standing over me, looking skeptically at my reading material.
‘The Grapes of Wrath, huh?’
‘Yes’ I said, faking composure. ‘It’s fantastic.’
‘It’s a fantastic primer for vacuous proto-Communists everywhere,’ she said dismissively.
‘I don’t know about that..’
She sighed. ‘I don’t have enough ink in my pen to keep a running list of what you don’t know. May I?’
She motioned to the empty chair next to me.
‘Of course.’ It would be fair to say my voice trembled a little.
She sat and said nothing. Ann Coulter evidently takes an unappreciative view of small talk. That she was eager to continue antagonizing me became evident when I re-opened my recently-insulted book to resume reading. A young man passed in a t-shirt proclaiming ‘Iraq Nam’. She stopped him.
‘1. Haircut. 2. Shower. 3. Get a job, you sniveling hippy,’ she glowered. ‘You’re probably too high to remember that, so write it down–if you can write.’
He looked at her with dismay and scampered away like a kicked cat. She turned to me with bloodlust.
‘What do you think of the war: complete success, or very nearly complete success?’ she asked.
‘Well, in no time—barring the strong possibility of Civil War–we’ll have a democratically-elected anti-US Islamicist government in charge of the world’s second-largest oil reserves, so I’d have to say only very-nearly, on the complete success scale, at a hysterically distorted best.’
She showed her teeth. ‘It sounds to me like you don’t support our troops.’
‘I think that ‘Support Our Troops’ business is the most crass, craven cowardice ever to go unquestioned by the allegedly Liberal media.’
‘Yes? Yes?’ There was oddly growing excitement in her voice.
‘It allows the Administration to absolve itself of responsibility for its own flawed policy. It’s no different than if you sent a classroom of 2nd graders into a burning building, and when anyone objects you throw in their face that they “don’t support our 2nd graders”’
‘Where do you live?’
‘A few blocks away.’
‘Take me there.’
When we got to my apartment, she looked around glumly.
‘I was thinking you’d have half-burned American flags up on the wall,’ she said, disappointed.
‘That’s ridiculous. I love my country.’
‘Whatever you think that means,’ she said, rolling her eyes. ‘Don’t you have anything nasty to say about the President?’
‘Like what?’
‘Like he’s an imbecile, or corrupt, or a corrupt imbecile—the usual sore-loser bitter chatter.’
‘To be honest, I didn’t like the nasty things that were said about Clinton, and I’ve decided to have respect for the Office, no matter who holds it. I don’t think President Bush is corrupt or an imbecile anyway. Would you like something to drink?’
‘I think maybe this was a mistake,’ she said, starting to go.
‘That’s not to say I don’t disagree strongly with many of his policies and objectives.’
She seemed to reconsider. ‘Like what?’
‘I don’t know. Name one.’
‘Get me a drink first.’
With every point I expressed that ran counter to a view she held, she removed one article of clothing. Soon she sat on my couch naked, gently pulling at her untrimmed pubic hair, staring intently but not quite invitingly at me. The growing hard lump in my throat was just outpaced by the one in my pants. I was a little nervous because we had agreed on the last two points—the need to reconsider the option of nuclear energy, and drilling in the Arctic—and I noticed her oversized nipples were no longer hard. Luckily, she was, by this point, determined.
‘What do you think,’ she began provocatively, ‘of the President’s plan to privatize Social Security?’
I sighed with relief; this was as sure a promise to seal the deal as her asking if I had a condom.
‘I think it’s a payoff to the Americans the President has always been most intent on pleasing: the richest 1%.’
‘What do you mean?’ she cooed. I noticed her nipples hardening once more. She dropped to her knees in front of me. She pushed me backwards and positioned my legs up in the air.
‘A stock’s value is even now only partially tied to the actual value of any publicly traded company. But who’s going to profit from inflated valuations when stock prices swell irrationally from the forced, artificial injection of capital?
Her breath was hot on my ‘taint as she lifted my scrotum. ‘Yes? Yes?’
‘You might as well shoehorn billions of dollars into the Baseball Card market. The price of a Derek Jeter rookie will be driven up to hundreds of thousands of dollars—before the bubble bursts and the whole market crashes massively.’ It was getting hard to stay on point as she tongue-fucked my shitter vigorously.
‘Don’t..Stop!!’ her contorted mouth pled from my butthole.
‘The top 1% will sell stocks at the inflated valuations to the novice investors-by-necessity, the market will swell and crash, and the same 1% will come back and re-purchase their holdings at pennies on the dollar. Meanwhile, Social Security will go bankrupt and all the novice investors will be eating catfood for the duration of their “golden years,’’ barring a massive Federal bailout several hundred times in excess of what the Savings & Loan scandal cost us.’
She sprung up on the couch on all fours and looked over her shoulder at me. She pointed to her twitching, puckered anus. ‘See this?’
I nodded eagerly.
‘I want you to wreck it.’
I spit on my skeezer-pleaser and, prying her ass cheeks apart like a hot dinner roll, drove it home, into the biggest browneye I had ever seen. She gurgled contentedly. Every thrust of my babymaker was met with a wrenched squeal as I grabbed her by the hips and began really leaning into it.
‘Harder!’ she begged, ‘Harder!! Tell me what you think of Chomsky!’
‘I..think..he’s..brill..iant..but..I..don’t really agree with much of his stance on Israel, and–’
‘You’re slowing down!’ she snapped. ‘DON’T SLOW DOWN!’
I went back to punishing her asshole, giving no thought whatsoever to compassionate conservatism as her chocolate socket gnawed on my pork pipe. She was babbling now, as out of a delirious reverie.
‘Feed it,’ Ann Coulter rasped. ‘Feed my hungry asshole!’
I buried her face in a throw pillow and she swiveled her hips back on my fuckstick with obvious appreciation. My pace quickened as my man-magma built towards eruption.
‘Wait!’ she gasped, sensing the fuse on my yogurt cannon was burning quick. ‘I want to take you ass-to-mouth!’
I withdrew from her puckerhole with an audible ‘pop’ and she scrambled around, gulping at my wang-dang-doodle as though the lives of all her loved ones hinged on her marks for enthusiasm. Her eyes rolled up pleadingly as she threw her head down again and again on my magic johnson. I knew what she wanted.
‘There is a specter haunting Europe,’ I began, and she started to convulse spasmodically with her own thrashing orgasm, her head now dribbling in a blur against my groin. I repeated every Karl Marx quote I could think of until I reached my own ‘historic inevitability’ and launched surge after surge from my hairy boda bag. I ejaculated with what seemed like enough force to blow out the back of her head–but her head was made of stronger stuff. She sputtered, gobbled and gulped what I’d have to call a very liberal, even radically so, quantity of hot splooey.
Once she caught her breath, she wiped her mouth, stood, and took me by the hand.
‘Let’s go to the bathroom.’
‘Why?’
She seemed surprised I had to ask. Her tone was that of someone reminding another of something too obvious to need mention.
‘Uh, so I can get in the tub and you can piss all over me?’
I sat in a robe and watched her as she dressed.
‘Will I see you again?’ I asked tentatively.
‘Sure,’ she said, pointing to the TV. ‘On that.’
Some moments passed. I tried to dispel the awkward silence.
‘Well, nice meeting you,’ I offered.
‘You’ve really got a gift for tedious small talk,’ she shot back.
I was a little hurt and, recognizing this, she softened just a shade as she reached for her purse to leave.
‘Hey.’
‘Yes?’ I asked.
‘Thanks for not staring at my adam’s apple.’
‘No problem.’
She let herself out without another word, and I sat in the late afternoon silence alone. I considered how it felt to be a disposable instrument in someone’s personal debasement fantasy.
All in all, it didn’t feel too bad.

Earnest Question:
*Why* do White folks do things like this? You know, always climinbing into wild animal habitats, “Grizzly Man” activity, “Into The Wild” stuff, and so on? It seems that only White folk, at least in America and the EU, do these things. I don’t recall hearing accounts of African Americans, Asians, etc engaged in such behaviors.
So, I want to know, is what is it in the White Psyche that drives them to do this? At this point in the game, it’s more than a one off sort of thing but much more of a trend, and a disturbing one at that.
I’m looking for earnest answers here-not diversion, ad hominem, or in any other way changing the subject. We need to find out WHY White folk tend to be more prone to these kinds of behaviors.

*Why* do White folks do things like this?
A flattering answer: white folks have a drive to discover things and conquer their environment. As a great Victorian poet Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote, “To seek, to strive, to find, and not to yield.” Which, when properly channelled, leads to the discovery of new continents, development of science, domestication of animals, conquest of primitive people, acts of courage, and fun.
An unflattering answer: many white folks are products of a an environment in which an ennui sets in on some individuals and causes them to misapply thier energies toward stupid ends.

So noted. But, it still doesn’t account for the fact that we have Grizzly Man, Into The Wild and the like. All White, too. We see this again and again, and unless you’re arguing for a religious angle being involved in all these cases, then I would say its one that seems to be lost on Peoples of Color. There has to be something in the White Psyche that speaks to this tendency; even in movies, White folks have to engage what appears to be extremely dangerous aliens (Alien, anyone?) in order to “study it”. Seems like other folk can study the same creatures from a comfortable distance.
So again, the question remains: wassup with White folks doing this kind of stuff? What’s that all about?

To expand upon a point PA had made in an earlier comment, compared to minorities, white people in the United States are more likely to come from backgrounds in which physical danger is not significant. In some cases that might lead to a greater desire to take risks. Perhaps this is better expressed in the opposite sense: if you come from an environment in which physical danger is always present, for example a very high-crime neighborhood, you probably aren’t going to have much of a desire to engage in dangerous activities. That’s more likely to be the case with respect to minorities.
Once again, in this specific case, it sounds as if the woman was mentally ill.

The other part is, why don’t Asian Americans engage in such behaviors, since they’re pretty much in the same boat as their White/SWPL counterparts? They aren’t saddled with the ever present threat of injury or death that say, I am. So, again: wassup with that?

Ok, let’s take it from the top:
Roissy presents the forum w/a picture and story about a White Woman being what appears to be attacked by a Polar Bear in a zoo looking environment; suggesting, that somehow the Woman in question found her way into the former’s private space.
Other posters then bring up the film Grizzly Man. Which is about a White Man who likes to study Grizzly Bears up close and personal. For his efforts he winds up their dinner.
Obsidian sees an obvious thread running thru these and other related incidents. I note the common denominator, that they all seem to be White. I then ask why is that.
PA, and Pete have indeed attempted to answer my query, for this I am grateful. And for the record, sure they could very well be true. But I like to probe the question just a bit more. Because, well, I can.
This forum by its very nature, is provocative, Doug. That’s no big secret. I think it safe to say that if it wasn’t so, I nor the vast majority of folk who frequent this venue, would continue to do so. Including you.
So for you to “accuse” me of making “provocative” statements is a distraction fromthe real issue on the table for examination, Doug. Nice try, but no cigar.
What’s up with White folk who think they can commune with the world’s most dangerous animals? And why don’t other Races seem so interested in such things? Wassup with dat?

I know someone who is suffering from a mental illness. A very pleasant, bright and attractive young woman when not having an episode. One of the sweetest people you could ever meet, which is what makes the illness that much more sad.
But during a manic episode she does really stupid things. Thankfully nothing that would get her into physical or sexual trouble. But the manic episodes do involve her having an intense conviction of very irrational things.
From what little I know of this German woman, it appears that she was mentally ill, just based on my having witnessed mentnally ill people’s behavior. Ingrid Newkirk or her acolytes at PeTA are unlikely to approach polar bears, no matter how fuzzy their feelings toward animals. Yes, they are crazy in their own way, but still grounded enough in reality to avoid getting eaten by bears.
The Grizzly Guy also seemed the type who wasn’t alltogether there.

White Western media reports these events. They take place in countries where the majority of the population is white. Any population will have its share of fools. If the population is majority white then the majority of fools will be white. These events are infrequent so it is more likely to be a member of the majority population that tips over the edge.
Example:
Say that 0.001 percent of all people will engage in such behavior.
That means 0.001 percent of all white and all non-white people will eventually feed themselves to the wildebeests.
The number of candidates from the white population (.001 percent of 80 percent) will be tiny.
The number of candidates from the non-white population (.001 percent of 20 percent) will be vanishingly small. Small enough to be effectively zero. [You have a chance of winning the lottery with one ticket, but in real-world numbers it is zero]
But:
If white people are a disproportional number of these idiots then your question might be interesting. Possible answers would revolve around white people living in ordered, well functioning communities in ordered, well functioning countries and thus needing to create “adventure.”

The bear was trying to kill the man. The bear crippled his leg so he couldn’t run. Wild animals have trouble understanding guns, so he shot the bear and it died. Head kills are for humans with guns. In the animal world, the head is to heavily protected to be a target. Normally, break the spine, cripple the leg, and I’m sure nature has come up with another few tricks. That’s why joggers get attacked when tying thier shoes, they bend over and the cougar can finally reach their neck. That bear definitely thought the man was for dinner if it tried to cripple his leg.

Doug brings in an interesting angle to the question, that of political orientation.

And that has massive implications. People know this. And hence why they tend to avoid open discussion of such things.
Having said that though, nit must be noted, that the vast nmajority of Black Americans vote Democrat. Same deal for Hispanics, Asians and so on. Yet its hard to find many instances of any of them doing what the German Whitw Lady, Grizzly Man or Into The Wild Guy did.

Personally, I’ve got an ominous sense that it’s a real bad idea, but an ominous sense does not a good argument make.

OMW,
My position is that the entire Gay Marriage debate is extremely flawed, for a host of reasons. First, if there is to be any resolution at all, it should and must be so on the state level, by either the legislatures or direct ballot by the People. The feds and definitely the courts, should stay out of it. Though in principle I’m against Gay Marriage, I can live with it if the People of any given state clearly vote in favor of it.
To the wider question, what we’ve lost sight of the issue, is the original purpose of Marriage itself, which was to see to it that the next generation comes about in an orderly fashion. History and even in our time now, clearly shows us that society is best served when kids come about in an ordered arrangement called marriage. Is it perfect, no. Is it without problems, no. Is it the end all be all, no. But over the long arc of history, with all manner of arrangements tried, marriage, between one man and one woman, has proven to work best. Polygamous marriages *can* work well, but they present more problems than the one woman/one man kind, so for more practical purposes, I would tend to favor that model.
The next thing I would tackle is the grossly false logic of many gay activists and (Black) liberals, attempting to make an equivalency argument between being Black and being Gay, or between the Loving decision and th current Gay Marriage debate. Its false because there is no real comparison to be made between the circumstances of the two groups, nor of the circumstances surrounding marriage in either case.
Another major area I’d challenge Gay activists on this score is the fact that they DO want to officially change the definition of marriage while not admitting to this, which is patently intellectually dishonest; moreover, the fact that they refuse to speak to what would happen were Gay Marriage were widely instituted reveals their motivations-for example, when asked how they would feel about making Polygamy legal, or sister-brother/mother-son/father-daughter marriage legal, they refuse to takeup these very real possibilities; they could possibly be discriminated against and many of their number would argue much moreso than Gays. Why no concern for them?
These are just a few of the reasons why I say the current debate is flawed and appears to be working in the Gay activists’ favor. But as we’ve seen so many times before, stuff built on weak arguments comes crashing down sooner or later, under their own weight.

You’re most welcme OMW-however, I think the current round of Gay Marriage debate just might be a bit more far reaching than we may realize. What effect will it have on say, Game, and by wider extension, male/female relationships? For example, according to the NIH, there are “officially” more lesbians than gay men, and we already know, from studies like the recent one posted in the NYT on Female Sexuality, that its a bit more fluid and not as hardwired as Male Sexuality. So it means that Women may be more inclined to pursue say, lesbian relationships than in the past, since the potential for scandal (Notes on a Scandal, anyone? LOL) would be lessened in a post Gay Marriage environment.
Andrew Hacker examines this to some extent in his book Mismatch and is what I would consider essential reading for those of us who are interested in how that animal called Human gets on with each other in the most important of ways.

Obsidian – Look who’s dodging and twisting in the wind now, eh? LOL! I’m asking you (and anyone else brave enough to actually tackle the question as asked): WHAT IS UP WITH WHITE FOLKS who do the kinds of things noted above? Why do they do this, when to most right thinking people, it’s highly risky, if not life threatening, behavior? Why? And why is it other races don’t seem to engage in this as much? Asians, for example, don’t do that anywhere near as much as Whites do. I mention them because for many Whites they’re an acceptable White alternative.
Again: comments?
To start with I will say that White people who engage in high risk taking behavior are in a minority. It takes a whole truck load of guts to do this stuff whether it is pointless crazy stuff or necessary dangerous behavior.
Most people in all races are “play it safe” type people.
Why White people? My theory is that within the White racial population there might be more genes for high risk/fearless/reckless behavior than in other races. I think this might be behind that fact that White people have been the great innovators in modern global civilization when it comes to making changes in the areas that require great physical and mental courage. Aviation, aerospace and expanding the frontiers of human achievement. I include in that the creation of the modern scientific/rational world view and all of the science and engineering that goes with it. It took a lot of courage to fight off traditional religion, myth, culture and superstition to do that and it is almost completely a White phenomenon, despite the many White people who have yet to get with it.
So I think these genes will contribute to all sorts of risky/reckless/fearless behavior and it depends on intelligence and discipline whether this turns out to have innovative results or is disastrous.
Why not Asians? Well, the negative stereotype there is that Asians are cowards. They might have some smarts but no guts. Not saying that’s true but the notion of Asian docility might be involved here.
As for black risk taking remember blacks disproportionately seem to be involved in risky sexual behavior despite the well known risk of AIDS. The majority of new AIDS cases in America are overwhelmingly in the black community despite blacks only being 12% of the country. In Washington DC among the black gay male population AIDS is rampant.
Is this because blacks choose to be involved in this risky, life threatening behavior or are they too stupid to know better?
This is a huge issue in the black community, gay or straight. There is an acceptable alternative and it’s called celibacy, monogamy or using a condom. It can be a life or death choice.
So that’s my working theory for these types of seemingly unique White race based behaviors. Some group of genes acting to contribute to behavior that is bold, daring and courageous. Then, depending on the presence of other genes, differing levels of intelligence and discipline it will lead to different expressions of bold/crazy/daring/reckless behavior.
When mixed with a high IQ it leads to this:
When mixed with an average IQ it leads to this:
And this:
And this:
And this!!!
When mixed with a low IQ it leads to this:
And whatever the IQ when it’s mixed with mental illness it leads to a woman throwing herself into a polar bear enclosure.
It must be related to some genes for fearless/reckless/courageous behavior. Sometimes this leads to great innovation in the human condition, other times it leads to what is technically know as “Deep DooDoo”. White folks just have more of these genes.
Human civilization needs crazy risk takers because without them we’d all still be living in grass huts.
And some people are still living in grass huts and that’s not only because they are stupid.
It’s because they are cowards, surrounded by cowards.

On a sunny Sunday afternoon earlier this month, about a dozen Bethany Community Church members knelt by the shores of Green Lake, filling 5-gallon jugs with water and carrying them part way around the lake.
It was a way to experience, at least for a few minutes, the heavy burden borne by women and children in Uganda who sometimes walk for miles each day to get water for drinking, cooking and washing.
The idea for the project came from a church member. The idea to tie it to Easter came from Dahlstrom. He had thought of doing the project during Lent because a large part of it is challenging church members to give up something in order to live simpler.

Yea, I’ve always noticed that familiar theme in movies, especially of the sci-fi/horror kind; they’ll be this ominous state of affairs around which a monster or group of monsters is at the middle, like the Alien(s) series, and the White folks always seem bent of “studying it”, even though the darned thing’s been tearing your fellow homie’s apart, etc. That’s always fascinated me and I’ve always wondered what was at work in the White Psyche that leads to that. Note how in other forms of cinema around the world, like Bollywood and Nollywood, Indians and Africans don’t seem to be all that interested in messing with grusome extraterristrial creatures.

As far as “studying it,” it might have to do with a need to figure out how the monster or animal works in order to know how to fight it later.
For example, when dealing with crocodiles, it’s not always good to just avoid them. Especially when the crocodiles have a habit of sneaking up on women washing clothes in teh lake. So “studying” the crocodile gives you an ability to predict its feeding time, knowldedge of how it strikes, etc.
Ironically, I recently watched a nature documentary in which a French team of biologists went down to Uganda to teach Ugandans how to capture and neutralize man-eating crocodiles!
Because the Europeans studied the croc, they knew how to approach it, safely mount it, tie its snout, and dispatch it. Prior to getting schooled by the Europeans, the Ugandans were resigned to having an occasional child or fisherman shacned by the reptile every few days.

Of course you realize, just next door over in Kenya, that there are tribes of African Bushmen who specialize in hunting lions only with spears and the like, right? Do you honestly think Africans couldn’t make it w/o White folks teaching them how to live in the wild? They been doing alright in that regard for thousands of years, so, we have to keep things in perspective.
Anyway, going back to White folk in the movies, one of my favorite genres is Sci-Fi, but not for the obvious reasons; to me, its a compelling commentary of how White folks see themselves in the future. And, not surprisingly, other folk don’t feature as prominently, if at all, in said future.
I don’t know if you’ve ever seen it, but years ago in the early days of CGI movies like Toy Story, there was this flick called Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I was visiting family for Thanksgiving, and chillin on the couch with my nephew Khalil, who was about 7 or 8 at the time or so.
The movie, while made for kids, was of the scifi bent: a race of the ghosts of alien warriors comes to Earth for some reason, and the human race has to sort it all out.
Anyway, there’s this scene where Earth is being overrun by the alien ghosts, and the humans have to get outta Dodge. The team consists of he blonde haired GI Joe type, a bald White older scientist type, a few other White figures, and finally the Noble Negro-a Black Sergeant (note how Black guys are almost always NCOs) who valiantly fights off the encroaching, overwhelming onslaught of the alien ghosts, since he just happens to get injured, and decides to sacrifice himself to save the “rest” of humanity. That buys the rest of the team time 2 get on the spaceship and blastoff into space.
After that sequence, my nephew looked up at me and said, Uncle, can I ask you a question?
Sure, I said to my nephew. What’s on your mind?

I’m not certain about this, but I have a theory wrt crocs etc-it’s been my experience, that Black folk on a whole aren’t particularly interested in aquatic things. That may sound utterly simplistic, but I tell you, if you look around you’ll find a similar result. And that may have something to do with what you saw on the tube recently. Just a thought.
As for your other comment about small kids not being bogged down by seeing other groups, why not? Isn’t the reality of the world, that its made up of all kinds of people? In fact that’s what made me such a fan of Star Trek as a kid growing up, *because* it had so many different races of folk. It would have been very boring if all there was, was Captain Kirk (btw, there’s a “new” Star Trek about the drop next month, directed by JJ Abrams. It looks slick, but the titular roles, Kirk and Spock, look like college kids, not more mature spacefarers. Hmm). So, I think its very important to expose kids early on to the realities of our world. But then maybe most Whites can afford to live in a bubble.
Another fave genre of mine is the Westerns. LOVE WESTERNS. The Spaghetti Westerns of Clint Eastwood, Young Guns, all the flicks made about Wyatt Earp, you name it. But here’s the thing:
There were rarely, if ever, Black folks prominently featured. And Westerns have been around for a very long time. One has to wonder why, given the fact that one in every three Cowboys were Black. Hmm.

I liked black characters in 80s TV and movies. They were usually suave, often with that jheri curl thing that I thought was cool. Examples are the best-buddy black character on TV shows.
There was none of that tension thing that started showing up in the early 90s. Today, it’s impossible to see a black character that isn’t in one way or another pointedly superior in that obnoxious race-baiting (on the part of the media producers) way the the white character(s).
Things were just more laid back up until the PC explosion that came in with the 1990s. For example, WTF is it with Friends or Seinfeld shows, which were almost 100% devoid of black characters, except in an occasional episode tha tshowed some obnoxious black kid kicking Ross Geller and then grinning victoriously.

As for Friends and Seinfeld, and I’ve personally enjoyed the latter more than the former, I think both shows are a fascinating insight into the White Psyche. Here we have two shows set in a city where its very hard to make it thru your day w/o having run accross at least a handful of Black folk, yet one can count on perhaps one hand, of all the episodes of both shows, the number of Black folk who appear. I think that’s quite a profound commentary myself.
As for the “obnoxious” (read, arrogant, chip on the shoulder, angry) Black, well, we have to keep in mind that even now, most show and movie writers are White, and that plays a role. They may be using the Black figures to drive home a point about the show on a whole, or about a particular character on the show, or both. This makes sense, since so often Black folk themes and issues are often used by Whites as a kind of buffer in some cases and a cudgel in others, with which to whup up on other White folk. As American as Apple Pie.🙂
The Jheri curl thing was hilarious, and could never see how so many Black folk went for that one, LOL.

Chiles, in that hurried way of his: “A pow-wow? who told you to have a pow-wow?!”

Even in terms of passerby. If you study Woody Allen films, Seinfeld and Friends, one is hardpressed to even see Black folk especially, and other people of color more generally, even in the background. I say it all, when you add it up-Westerns, SciFi, Sitcoms, and the like, all serves as a fascinating insight into what I call the White Psyche, which on some levels is delusional, in that it seems to have trouble handling and accepting the fact that other people exist, meaningfully, in the world.

Just found Willard’s comments, which was a mouthful. Need to address them right quick.
First off, I think what you said about genes, risk taking and the like makes a lot of sense. I don’t really have much to add or critique in that regard.
Having said that though, the way you try to twist the discussion into a kind of bashing Black folk is kinda standard operating procedure for you, plus its irrelevant; so what if the HIV/AIDS infection is high in DC? What does that have to do with Grizzly Man, Into The Wild and the Fat White Lady? Nothing from where I sit, it’s just yet another case of Willard needing to feed his psyche’s need to putatively dump on Black folks.
Now, having said that, I don’t think anyone could say w/a straight face that the Filipinos, Samurai Japanese and the like are “cowards”. Remember Willard, arguably thee best treatise ever written on military strategy and application was written by an Asian, The Art of War.
As for your comments regarding Black folks…
Yup, generally speaking, its true: Black like to make whoppie, and tends to do it moreso than the average White. Moreover, I can tel you that the vast majority of Black Men do not like using condoms. Can’t feel anything, its like eating a cheesetak w/a surgical glove over your tongue. What’s the point?
Now, having said that, yes, the risk for STDs are higher in light of the aforementioned-and-are you listening Willard-Black folk tend to be more polyamorous than Whites on average, hence, one of the major reasons why the HIV/AIDS rate is so much higher. Now we can go off into all manner of moralistic arguments and the like, fine, but I’m simply sayin.
As for the Downlow issue in the hood, it’s there, but I honestly don’t think it’s as big as it actually is. I think a bit of it is hype. I also think all the handwringing done on behalf of Black Women is in a way kinda of a smokescreen to cover the fact that lots of Black Women don’t really have that big a problem having sex w/the same Man, under the right conditions, of course. This is more common than in the White community for a number of reasons, and not for the ones you might think-one of them being, that there are more Alphas among Black Males than they are among White ones. And Women of all races like offer herself up to Alphas.
Anyway, good points. See what happens when you try?😉

Maybe that’s because White people are becoming increasingly naturalistic in their worldview and are less likely to believe in superstitions and religious mythology so they have to invent biological monsters to focus on. Religion and myth are still part of the White world but it’s weakening in comparison to the black and brown world.
Maybe Indians and Africans still believe in spooks and spirits that haunt their imaginations so they don’t need to invent an imaginary extraterrestrial civilization to satisfy this psychic need.
Default User – Obsidian – *WHY DOES THE BLACK GUY ALWAYS HAVE TO DIE?*
Hey, the “cocky black chauffer” (a version of the “noble negro?”) in Die Hard survived. He even got the last line.
Is Die Hard the movie that ends with the black guy killing the very White and very blond Alexander Godinov?
PA – Examples are the best-buddy black character on TV shows.
Why do so many movies and TV shows have to give the White man a black buddy/partner or friend. White men out number black males in America about 7 to 1 so what’s with this 50/50 White man/black guy routine?
They just don’t want the blacks to feel left out?
Obsidian – As for Friends and Seinfeld, and I’ve personally enjoyed the latter more than the former, I think both shows are a fascinating insight into the White Psyche.
Here’s a pretty good example of the White Psyche and Seinfeld. Funny but also very deep.
A deeper issue might be what is it about the black psyche that fears being excluded from the attention of the White Psyche. Why do so many blacks crave the attention and acceptance of White folks? Why do so many blacks feel deeply threatened and insecure when they see White folks in TV/movies socializing WITHOUT the presence of blacks?
If somebody black made a movie about their experiences and didn’t include White people the fact is most White folks wouldn’t care. They’d just say that’s for blacks and move on.
The black psyche can’t do that. The black psyche is wounded and threatened by exclusion from the White Psyche. Why is that?
It probably gets back to the fact that at one time blacks were the property of White folks. They were owned, named and numbered by the White Man and this has left a fundamental flaw in the black psyche.
As I’ve said before if you mix this with the black boy’s own Oedipal Complex you will be better able to understand the black male obsession with the White Woman and his desperate need for her attention and sexual acceptance.
I think on another level many White people are just bored with the mediocrity of most people of all races. That’s why they become fascinated with real or imaginary creatures and why they want “to boldly go where no man has gone before”. Either in science or science fiction.
Humans of any race or culture are a pretty dull and similar lot despite external differences.

YOU brought race into the discussion about the woman in the polar bear enclosure. YOU asked “What’s up with White folks” and risky behavior. Now listen up, you don’t get to come on here and make an issue of White Folks without some folks turning it around on you and your people. Got it?
Now here’s a question for you – Which is a more common risky, life threatening behavior – White folks hanging out with bears or black folks engaging in sexual behavior THAT IS KNOWN TO ALL INTELLIGENT PEOPLE AS LEADING TO THE SPREAD OF AIDS?
You really shouldn’t need much time on this one.
What does that have to do with Grizzly Man, Into The Wild and the Fat White Lady? Nothing from where I sit, it’s just yet another case of Willard needing to feed his psyche’s need to putatively dump on Black folks.
Right. Your black male psyche is delusional. You string together unrelated and extremely rare examples of risky behavior by a small number of White people. You then ask What’s up with White folks? I then ask you about far more common risky behavior by blacks and you become threatened and defensive.
You chose to bring up race and I chose to bring it back into your face. Sounds fair to me.
Now, having said that, I don’t think anyone could say w/a straight face that the Filipinos, Samurai Japanese and the like are “cowards”. Remember Willard, arguably thee best treatise ever written on military strategy and application was written by an Asian, The Art of War.
I never said ALL ASIANS are cowards. I’m sure the White men in history who slaughtered millions of Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans will testify that there are plenty of courageous warriors among Asians.
But it’s silly to think that Samurai are more typical of Asian males than the average Japanese peasant who grovelled in fear in the face of these men.
The stereotype of Asian docility might have some truth to it despite the reality of Asian warriors, samurai or Bruce Lee movies. We all have heard about Asian males being less capable of Game in relation to women. I don’t know if that is true but again it might be related to a kind of Asian docility.
I don’t think that you could argue that just because Asia has a huge population that therefore Asian males must have great Game. We all know Asian males are capable of making babies.
The issued YOU raised was why more White risk taking behavior and not Asian. You could also ask why did forms of democracy, capitalism and individualism rise among White folks but not Asians.
There may be again genes for “reckless individualism” that predominate among White folks more than Asians. Maybe White folks have more genes for bold, daring, risky, reckless behavior COMBINED with more genes for individualism. Maybe.
As for the Downlow issue in the hood, it’s there, but I honestly don’t think it’s as big as it actually is. I think a bit of it is hype.
That’s because as a black male you are disturbed by the image of the black male as being something other than an Alpha heterosexual. I think there is a lot of denial in the black community about this issue.

Ahh. I see Willard’s Id Monster is alive and well. Let’s dive right in.
India is and has been for thousands of years, overwhelmingly Hindu, which focus on a polytheistic view of God, whereas Africa, in more recent centuries, has shifted from a more Animist/Pagan God centered view, to today, being overwhelmingly Islamic or Christian, in that order in terms of total numbers of adherents. And keep in mind, both religions emphasize the One God. Now, unless you think there’s something outside of these facts that accounts for the reasons why Bollywood and Nollywood aren’t much interested in “studying” Aliens-type creatures (and basically being wiped out by them in the end), you’re gonna have to come up with a better theory than that, W.
Let’s tackle another question you asked: why is it Black folk always seem to clamor being in the picture with Whites? Well, the answer to that one ought to be obvious, but I know history isn’t you’re strong suit-its because Black folk are a part of this country, that’s why-and when we can look at damn near a century’s worth of Westerns, from Wyatt Earp to Bonanza, and not see one prominent Black face in the lot of em, even when we know, for a fact, that a total one third of all Cowboys were Black, well that matters to us. Its because when we see Star Trek and Star Wars ad Alien(s) and Red Planet and Final Fantasy and so on, we want to be seen as also having a future. And not just in a token amount to assauge White folks sometimes delusional sensibilities, either. Its because when we see stuff like Sienfeld and Friends and Woody Allen movies, made not in Fargo North Dakota, where The Big Chill was set, but in thee most multicultural capital of the entire world in the history of human beings, Black folk tend to scratch their head at how its possible for these shows and films to proliferate, for years, in such a city, and not even see Black folk walking by in the background. That’s sick, Willard. It’s, as Harvard Psychiatrist Dr. Alvin Poussaint noted, a disease. And it’s something White folks need to address. Seriously.
We want to be included, not as a favor, but because we helped build this thing. We contributed and we want to represent. Period. Please note the key difference here, Willard-the NAACP didn’t say a word about the fact that The Big Chill didn’t have Black folk in it, wanna know why?
BECAUSE BLACK FOLK BY AND LARGE DON’T LIVE IN FARGO, THAT’S WHY.
Context, Willard. Context.
Now, let’s takeup another question you raised: why is it Whites don’t seem to care if White folks aren’t in Black films, etc?
Well Willard, sorry to disabuse you (yet again) but you’re actually wrong. Back in 1989, when Spike Lee’s critically acclaimed Do The Right Thing came out in theatres, he was invited on Oprah to discuss the film. Several seemingly irate White Males were in the audience, who demanded to know why Lee didn’t feature White folks in his films more prominently than he did at the time. Lee’s response was iconic: he asked why it was that these White guys, nor anyone else White, demanded to ask Woody Allen how it was possible to shoot virtually every film he’d ever done in his long career in a city like NYC and NOT see one Black face in them? Of course, the irate White guys had no intelligible reply.
Perhaps you can do better.
Now, as to your oft-repeated refrain, about how Black Men just lust after White Women…
While its true, that after White Male/Asian Female marriages, the highest IR marriages tend to be Black Male/White Female, when one considers the overall marital rates of Black Males, one finds that they invariably marry other Black Females. Moreover, in a time when a Black Man can no longer be killed or lynched for sexing or marrying a White Women, one whould have to conclude that those Black Men who chose Black Women as wives did so as a free choice, and nothing else. So, good luck with your theory.
No one needs me to point out how powerful images and symbols can be, and how film, tv and the internet tells a great deal about who and what we are. When we can look over the long arc of multi media in a land where multi ethnic groups living together for the most part is a reality, and NOT see that reflected meaningfully and realistically in said media, it says something very profound about said society. Now, I know that brings you much psychic anguish, Willard; I wouldn’t be telling the truth if I didn’t say I derived a bit of guilty pleasure from the thought. But if that is indeed the case, that’s just too bad. This is a majority White country, built on largely Anglo ideas and concepts, but it is not a White country. It never has been. It never will be.

Second, you need to be much more precise in your wording; no, you didn’t say “all Asians” you simple said “Asians”-which would lead any normal thinking person to think you meant Asians, in general. If that’s not what you meant, you need to be more careful in how you write and word things.
Now, for this business about HIV/AIDS-once again, you don’t get out enough. It’s been documented and proven that the number one method of transmission of the virus, both at home and in Africa, ain’t the Downlow (though it is important) as much as it is the nature of polyamorous sexual relationships that are much more common among African peoples than Euro or Asian ones. Sitdown and use the lump of meat on your shoulders as something a bit more than a hat rack, and think about it-you can spread yourself around a lot more if you have “x” number of lovers than if you have only one or two.

Grizzly Man, Fat Polar Bear Lady, and Into The Wild Guy are things that can be seen as a disturbing trend.

A major reason is that if no one scores a decisive punch against the other guy, they’ll just keep punching at each other without any real effect (jabbing at the shoulder, back, torso, tensed-up stomach, etc) and within a minute both will be too tired to punch.
Ever see boxers go into lactic aciodosis? That’s when the arms feel like they weigh a ton and they keep “hugging” each other.

Willard It probably gets back to the fact that at one time blacks were the property of wealthy White folks. They were owned, named and numbered by the White Man and this has left a fundamental flaw in the black psyche.
There is some truth to this statement and I once hinted to as much.
That’s because as a black male you are disturbed by the image of the black male as being something other than an Alpha heterosexual. I think there is a lot of denial in the black community about this issue.
Actually many people are very open about it. Women have started to look the other way when it comes to any man who has been in jail/prison for a significant period of time. Many of us understand the need men have for physical affection and being that prison is segragated by gender, many men break down and have same sex relationships.
BTW, I remember bringing this topic up here and being shut down. I think BI-ness behavior can be found amongst any group of men.

PA,
Although I’ve seen quite a few bumrushes in my time (and been the target of a few, too), I’ve also seen quite a few one on one fights, all Brothas, so I really don’t see this notion of the Black Man having the lock on the Bumrush as the gospel truth or something, especially since we all can point to Whites and other groups doing this, too.
Having said that, a popular saying in Boxing is Styles makes Fights. My style is to simply wear the other Man down, by strong defense, precision punches and strikes, making optimal use of my surroundings, making him chase me, etc. Make him tired. Make him frustrated. In fact, the longer the fight goes, the better.
Really good boxers know how to soften a spot or two up on a body, and then just keep hitting that spot. Yea, I know about the “lead arms” thing you mentioned, but you gotta remember, I’m no stranger to long distance workouts (recall the concrete job I did w/my Dad).
So, I’m very happy w/just tapping you w/punches, bobbing and weaving, good footwork, getting you to come in and then sidestep, especialy if a obstacle is right behind me. I don’t allow folk to grip me up. Keep your distance.
And we keep that up as long as the opponent likes-half hour, hour, or more. Doesn’t matter to me. When they eventually tire, that’s when I take them out. I’ve done it. Several times.

A “Mo” is another word for a gay male.
As for polygamy, history records that in the main, its one Man/”x” numberof Women; rarely is there one Woman/”x” number of Men. Now of course, the easy answer is “well, that’s because the Men can’t handle it”. In my view there’s some truth to this. However, there’s another very important aspect to the whole thing:
Most Women cannot handle an ongoing sexual relationship with say, 4 or 5 Men at once. Aren’t wired for it. A one night stand? Sure? One shot deal gangbang? Yea. But an ongoing relationship deal? Nah.
Given the choice, most Women would choose to have one Man exclusively, and when one thinks about it, this makes sense.
Going back to Blacks/Africans, we have to keep in mind that polyamorous sexual relationships were envogue long before the advent of Islam, though its appearance on the scene certainly drove the nail in the coffin, so to speak.
True, what you say about China and Europe is onpoint, however, the kinds of polyamorous relationship scenarios don’t seem to be as much in evidence there, especially as it relates to the HIV problem. Although I can’t recall their names right now, there have been indepth studies done by various doctors and scientists in Africa who says that the main problem driving infection rates, aside from not using condoms (it is well known that Black Men by and large loathe them) is the nature of polyamorous sexual relationships in African and by extension, African American society. For reasons that I’ve pointed out to Willard, it seems pretty clear to my why its more prevalent there than in other societies. Maybe the theory doesn’t pan out, but from where I sit it all makes sense. Of course, non of it is politically correct, for any side, SWPL or Black (Female), so the Downlow theme tends to get more sway. Like I said, I think there’s some truth to the DL thing, but I also think its overblown, too. Far more likely to pickup any STD when you’re engaged in a polyamorous relationship and no condoms are involved on the regular.
Like I said before, most Women, and this includes Black ones, don’t like it known that they are actively screwing the same guy. Yet, we who study Game and social dynamics and so forth know, that *most* guys aren’t getting sex on a the regular, only a relatively small number do.

Yeah, like that woman in Ohio who cleaned my hotel room.
That’s the weird fluke about white people. When we think of “white people”, one generally thinks of billionaire businessmen, politicians, and trust fund types, and even to a lesser extent, the upper middle class professional family. Nobody ever really contemplates the poor whites (who may be of low IQ) who are in low paying service sector type jobs.
Why do so many blacks feel deeply threatened and insecure when they see White folks in TV/movies socializing WITHOUT the presence of blacks?
IIRC, I remember reading over at Half Sigma’s place that there’s a sizable chunk of the black population that believes that it’s numbers are far greater than currently counted. I suspect that assessment is inflated by the fact that black people generally live with other black people and thus have very little real contact with white people. Plus, IIRC, outside of the South, the black population is basically in metro areas, so for most black people, it appears that they make up “half” of the country if they’re used to mixed area places like large offices or malls in metro areas. Also, there have always been historical legacies clouding up the representation issue.
Interestingly, my Canadian mistress was rather surprised at the fact that the black population of the US barely amounts to more than a tenth (12.5%) of the population. She was rather shocked that Canada’s black population barely amounts to 3% of the country. In my anecdotal experience, telling black people the actual percentage of the population strikes them as rather low in most cases, and most have elicited feelings of surprise at the statistics. Most generally have stated around 20% to 25%, and sometimes as high as 50%.
Mind you, Obsidian’s writings above about feeling “involved”, certain do have a role to play in some of it, but as somebody who watched Seinfeld and Friends, I never really felt threatened by the lack of black characters on most TV shows. It’s probably better that they’re not there, than the writers put in a token, non-realistic character that really doesn’t serve any purpose.

This is why I referenced Poussaint, because it is delusional to have such a view, and why I mentioned the reality of Cowboys in the West and nearly a century of cinematic portrayals of the West-theres a huge disconnect there.

I think its fair to say, that Black folk on a whole, have much more interaction w/Whites, than the other way around. Now, the reason for that is pretty cut and dry-Whites, contrary to the opinion of some here, still do run things, make final decisions and the like in this country. One can argue whether that’s good or bad, but that is a fact, and has been for virtually the whole of this country’s history.
I think another way to look at this issue is in Jewish America terms, who makeup about 3% total of the US population-yet, when you consider onscreen portrayals, they easily outclass Black folk, being grossly overrepresented. And, last time I checked, there didn’t seem to be a huge hew and cry over that.
I also think one reason why Black folk may seem to be overrepresented to an extent in certain films and tv shows, is because so often, they tend to be set in places where Black folk can be seen in larger numbers-like urban inner cities. Few shows and movies are set in Appalachia, or the more rural, and mainly White, areas of the country. Again, please note that Black folk didn’t say anything about the lack of Black faces in the film The Big Chill, which was critically acclaimed.

Going back to Blacks/Africans, we have to keep in mind that polyamorous sexual relationships were envogue long before the advent of Islam, Actually I wasn’t linking the two. I was simply attempting to make the point that the need men have to sleep around seems to cross racial, religious and ethnic boundaries. Islam limits a man to four wives but it’s common in some parts of Africa for a wealthy man to have as many wives as he can afford. There are also some wealthy men who stop at 2 or dare I say 1. It all depends on the guy of course.
One more thing, many African men inherit a second wife after the death of a male relative(most often a brother). Since a woman becomes a part of her husband’s family after marriage. Now keep in mind that a man is supposed to leave his deceased brother’s wife untouched but of course people do what they can get away with-chic noir maxium #1.
Most Women cannot handle an ongoing sexual relationship with say, 4 or 5 Men at once
Keep in mind that most women don’t like it as much as the average guy and women also complain about most men not having a clue on how to do it correctly. Unlike men, women’s bodies just aren’t hard wired to desire it all the time. At the same time, there are women who can enjoy two men at the same time.
I dare say that most men will have difficulty in juggling 4-5 women at one time. Too many facts, details, and emotions to keep str8 .

I got a chance to peruse a lot of the studies material coming out of the NIH and the CDC in Atlanta, because either he or someone else in the office had to go down there frequently for conferences and meetings, etc.
The studies were fascinating; since the program focused on African Americans, the stats were compared to other groups. By a countrymile, Black folk use contraceptives less, than do Whites, Asians and so on. In the case of Hispanics, its a bit closer.
In the many “circles” I had acess to, discussion groups with Black Men and Boys on these issues that my buddy’s job conducted, one prominent theme kept recurring: a near adamant refusal to wear condoms.
On top of that, here in Philly there was an indepth study done to determine who was infected w/STDs and who wasn’t; in the hotbeds of STD activity, not only were they predominately Black, but there were far more females to males *being* infected. That’s what made me think that a kind of de facto polygamous thing was going on-and this was, what, at least 5 years ago?
Bottomline: Women, if given the choice, free from rebuke, shaming or recrimination, will choose who they deem is the most dominant Male in the environment-and will share him rather not have him at all.

The rationalization on the part of the authors, was that the one thing folk like them could have complete control over, was their loins and the product(s) therefrom.
And its true, Black moms breastfeed their kids a whole lot less than do White moms-although I’m not as quick to draw the conclusion that this accounts for any problems Black kids may have. We have to keep in mind, that breastfeeding only came back in fashion over the past three decades or so, and during the Baby Boom years, hardly any mom breastfed and baby formula was the norm, Black and White.

Amongst other things it is associated with healthy brain development. Some estimate that an increase in black breastfeeding could add five points to the average black IQ.

Gunslingergregi: I assume you’re addressing me? Was it my own inner problem? No, it wasn’t; it was real. Am I bitter? No; today, I don’t really give a hoot; I have no chip on my shoulder, and I’m a rightist criticizing affirmative action, etc., and I hate identity politics. I’m just telling it like it was. Funny thing; in high school, there were only a few more dark-skinned individuals, still quite a small group, but it made all the difference, it seemed; virtually nobody there cared about race; I only encountered one idiot, who misidentified my origins with a slur about another group, which made me laugh at his ignorant white-trash ass.

Nah, not all the people who encourage breastfeeding are your whitermom sorts.
Just that about a million overeducated, undertalented women with apparently nothing more interesting to do have an unpleasant tendency to get involved in “breastfeeding advocacy” and taint the entire thing by association.
You walk into a La Leche League meeting sometime and tell me what you see.
Some do mean well, but the posturing masses have a tendency to inflate the whole process into a status competition where they’re holding the best hand at the table. Typical, no?
That said, the IQ and breastfeeding link had been disproven, last I heard.
Not that it’s not beneficial, not that it’s not wonderful, but the whole thing, IMO, has been just a “titch” oversold.
