Reality Shows and Rocket Men (I think it's gonna be a long, long time)
Refriedgringo, do you live in reality? The world is the way it is because of history. To deny that is to believe the fantasy America of Leave it to Beaver. Whites dominated this country because it was founded by whites, who then had to force in labor to get things done, not just blacks but asians and native americans. If you cant see that the wealth of MANY of this country's richest families was handed down to them, then I am sorry you are ignorant of the truth. So, after dominating the other races, whites love to fall back on the old 'my great-grandpa wasn't a slave owner, so its not my fault' mantra. But the rest of us (minorities) know the truth. And, believe me, this country will revisit that era someday; sooner than later. But, as I said before, the white race will be gone. Gone because they are out numbered, and becoming even more so each decade. Though, I am sure Dick Cheney and his ilk have yet another disease to inflict on humanity to even the score. I wouldn't put it past them. Rino— November 5, 2009 4:56 p.m.

Its not bitterness, its called life. I have lived the life of a blackman, something that you, and my buddy PistolWillie, have never had the chance to do. You can both say that race does not play in today's america, but I am here to tell you it does. Pistolwillie hates me because I am the mirror of him. He claims not to hate blacks, but the use of 'ropes' or 'ni@@er' in his posts betrays it. While I am open in my hatred of whites. This country, even today, is rigged for the whites to succeed. Willie just doesn't know it, and you deny it my man josh, because you are both white. woe is to be me. The harbinger of truth. Rino— November 5, 2009 4:04 p.m.

We cant know where we are going, until we know where we have been. A white guy said that Pistolpete (is this some kind of penis envy driven screen name?) You need to read more, and stop watching Happy Days. Rino— November 5, 2009 3:50 p.m.

How many black commentators are on Fox? Hmmmmm....can't think of any. Hannity--Beck? Not racists? Either is Rush Limbaugh, I guess, using your yardstick. My point about reality TV is this; its only famous as it is because it caters to white america. You could say that about most media outlets, including your magazine. Your magazine isn't about to do a majority of stories about rappers and or black/hispanic issues, even hip issues, because that isn't your base. How many of your bloggers are black? Hmmmm, I'm flashing back on Fox news now. And as for injecting race? As I told Pistolpete, its the only card you folks will let us have, and I love to play it every chance I get. When I got pulled over for a ticket for making an illegal turn, by a white cop, I was made to get out of my car (were you). His partner kept an eye on me as the other cop searched my car (did they search yours?) Both cops showed up, BOTH COPS showed up, at the busy Clairmont traffic court. So, I played race on that blog (your previous one) and this one as well. I will play the race card as much as I think it needs to be played, which is usually all the time. What you gonna do? Put masking tape on the black man's mouth? Become more like Fox news? I hope not. Rino— November 5, 2009 10:28 a.m.

Most of the well known serial killers/rapists, and I might add, pedophiles, are white. Heck, you had a whole daycare operation set up by white folks to not only do the deed, but take pictures too. Here, you love to read..try this site. http://www.dirjournal.com/info/americas-famous-se… White men..white angry men who seem to have racial issues and sexual perversions as well. As for Cheaters and Cops and other shows like that? They show us blacks because if they showed the whites, it would anger their audience and they wouldn't watch. I mean, think of it this way. Why don't they show Raider football games in San Diego instead of Chargers games? Because, the people in san diego don't want to see Raiders games; this is San Diego. Well this is also white America. More white folks watch TV than blacks. So, why anger your audience by showing them what they don't want to see? Instead you show those cops chasing down black folk, or show all those black cheaters, because it makes the whites feel better. I mean, we don't want white, beer drinking, men to think that their wives covet the 'bigger' black men (and you know what I mean by bigger). And as for injecting race? Racism, slavery, bigotry; this is how white American built its power, and how it holds on. Pistolpete I actually pity, because its clear his educational background is wanting, at best. But my man Josh; I expect better from you. Certainly you can see that FOX news, the number one news channel on TV, is racist and it pushes a racist agenda. Certainly you can see that TV, which is aimed mainly at white america, has and will, pushes a white world on a country becoming more brown everyday? South Africa; that is where this country is headed. The white race is living on borrowed time, and won't be around much longer. Pistolpete should change his name to PistolLamont, because that's what his grandkid will be named. Its only a matter of time. Rino— November 5, 2009 9:56 a.m.

$445 million dollars on a rocket? Should have spent that money on trying to find out why so many of you white folks are serial killer/rapists. Money spent on important stuff like that could save a lot of innocent black and mexican lives. As for reality TV? I like reality TV because mainly they center around the crazy 'white middle' class. Every year on that show Survivor we get to see white racists try to win a $1million bucks, and the strategies they will use to do it. Great entertainment there, and educational too. I love to point out those fools to my kids when they watch it with me. Because of reality TV we get to see events like Balloon boy, Jon and Kate, Gary Busey in some halfway house, or my favorite, news events like Waco texas, which was really a reality show that lasted for days and was pawned off as news, but was really a show about a bunch of loony hicks fighting to protect their right to do what ever they want with their kids, and fools like Sean Hannity defending that right. Reality TV, or as I call it, Crazy white folk TV. No wonder they do so well in the ratings, and inspire blogs from white viewers like my man Josh; its like looking through a window into your own world. Rino— November 5, 2009 7:10 a.m.

Josh, my man, you were bragging, and making light of our court system as well making fun of an officer of the law. And when you come right down to it, buddy old pal, you willinging broke the law. You were treated differently because you were white. And thats cool, thats the American way. Right-up there with apple pie and slavery (which we call farm workers now) PistolPete? Dude, I sure hope you're not some white high-school teenager, or white Postal worker, or some white teacher with a ton of little kids around as sitting ducks. Because if you were? I'd be worried to send my kids to your school; anger can eat your soul. I will pray, no scratch that, I will throw some chicken bones on the ground, with some dice I carved out of pig knuckles, and try to have some African spice God guide your soul.

You white folks are just so ignorant. Let me explain this simply. YOUR people bought up all the land, and then handed it off to YOUR people. Most of the land owned in this country, the land people want, can be traced back to, in some cases, three changes of hands; YOUR people's hands. YOUR people bought up all the broadcast channels, at the start, and only started letting us colored folk own channels since, (pay attention) we are begining to out number you through-out this country. YOUR people managed to be the only country to use Nuclear weapons..not on other white folks, you know, that Hitler guy. Hitler was your cousin, so you used it on the Japanese. Heck, the majority of the people in this country didn't even care what was happening in WW2 and wanted to stay out of it. And, the economic downturn we are in, was caused by YOUR people's greed. And guess who gets to clean it up? The black man. Oh, and I am willing to bet that YOUR people are the biggest subscriber to the Reader, which would explain the number of blacks we see on your pages, and blogs; hardly any. So, I am not shocked that most of you are angry at hearing this black man speak. I will give you credit for even letting me say my piece in a thread aimed at...your people, and the author who gets his kicks calling blacks with tiny mustaches Cab Calloway. YOUR PEOPLE get to experience the justice that Josh told us about at the top of this thread. I am glad he got off, and I am glad he can sit here, as white man, and brag about how he beat the system. But you all know, deep inside, that I am right. Do you know how I know I'm right?? YOU ALL VOTED FOR A BLACKMAN for president. Its called white guilt..and it comes from somewhere; reality.

Your people bought up all the land, and then opened it up for us. Your people didn't even let my people vote until the 20th century. Your people, using the labor of blacks and asians, built this so-called land of free (free for whites) and then, because you began to be out numbered, you opened it up to us. But, as I said before, the Latinos, we blacks, the asians are slowly surrounding that white cotton-candy, clinging to the stick (racism) that can no longer support them. Now, go get some excercise for your right hand with your newest porn with two mexican girls in the center page. Rino— November 4, 2009 10:31 p.m.
