Out of My Mind

Here. And here.

OK, here's one example:

Following in David Horowitz’s ever-unfortunate footsteps, token black wingnut La Shawn Barber juxtaposes liberals’ cruel attacks on neo-Nazi jailbait pop group “Prussian Blue” with their complete silence on the continued existance of the NAACP. Oh, the hypocrisy! She bloviates:

If defending and advocating for your race is a bad thing, it should be bad across the board. Disband the congressional black and hispanic caucuses. Shutter the NAACP, which has become nothing more than a clique of partying elitists who give out awards to pedophiles. Why are racial minorities allowed to honor their race, while whites are not? Why is there a stigma against being proud of your white skin, but not black or brown skin?

And she doesn’t even mention how the NAACP sells crack to finance vote fraud! Which is, like, totally true!

I’m going to say this e-x-t-r-a s-l-o-w-l-y so maybe even the terminally stupid Ms. Barber can understand:

1. Fun fact about white people: we can, and do, join white ethnic organizations all the damn time, and nobody says anything. When you poke your head in the local Polish-American club, do not expect to see a Benetton ad. Expect to see lots and lots of white people. Ditto the Italian-American club, the endless Irish-American organizations, etc., etc. It all seems rather pointless to me, but they tend to have cheap beer, so I keep these sorts of idle opinions to myself.

2. There’s nothing necessarily racist about having an umbrella “white pride” organization - I know of no fundamental physical law which would force it to be racist - it’s just that nobody but racists seems to have any real interest in joining and/or forming such a group, and it is awfully difficult to imagine what practical, non-racist rationale such a group would have for existing. In most parts of the country, you can’t whip a Kenny G CD without pegging at least three white people, so most white people tend to spend a lot more time trying to avoid each other than seeking each other out. In addition, white people generally don’t have a lot in common with other white people. There’s only so long we can make small talk about different brands of sunscreen before it comes out that someone converted someone else’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather to Christianity at swordpoint or blighted someone else’s great-great-grandfather’s potatoes, and then things can become quite awkward quite quickly. If white people want to get together and just kind of “get your white on”, well, knock yourselves out, but I promise not to be offended if you forget my invitation.

3. Prussian Blue are Nazis. They were raised in the National Vanguard/National Alliance neo-Nazi movement. They throw Nazi salutes in concert. The name “Prussian Blue” is apparently a coded shout-out to a certain theory of Holocaust denial. I know you hate liberals and everything; and, not being you mom, I would never presume to tell you who your friends should be; but maybe, just maybe, you don’t really want to be legitimizing Naziism while you’re at it. So I want you to think extremely carefully here. While you’re thinking, you may wish to look over this handy chart I’ve put together, which goes over the many similarities - and differences! - between the NAACP and the Nazis:

National Socialism/Neo-Naziism National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
Begins with the word “National” TRUE TRUE

Are “liberals”, according to Jonah Goldberg TRUE UNKNOWN
Are “liberals”, according to people who aren’t brainless Pillsbury Doughboy-looking wanker douchebags FALSE TRUE
Are, in our considered Editorial opinion, the sort of people you want to be making excuses for to facilitate your bog-standard wingnut ax-grinding FALSE COULDN’T CARE LESS
Hope this helps. We now return to our regularly-scheduled blogofascism.
