HELLO! I think we found where the cuts should be made!
Entitlement? I PAID cash for my Social Security insurance! Our benefits aren’t some kind of charity or handout! Congressional benefits—premium federal health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays yearly, three weeks paid vacation yearly, unlimited paid sick days—now THAT’S welfare! And they have the nerve to call my retirement an entitlement!
I wonder exactly how many Americans on Social Security, Disability, and Veterans assistance programs...how many serving in our military, are voting members of the RepubliCANT/GOPukes/teabagger Party?
The same Party who wishes to abolish/cut/remove these programs permanently? But more importantly...will they vote RepubliCANT/GOPukes/teabagger in "NO"vember 2012?
If the Nation defaults, and America does not pay the social security recipients, or the disability recipients, or our troops or all the others people depending on money the first of each month....DOES CONGRESS AND THE SENATE STILL GET THEIR PAYCHECKS???
Some Democrats are reportedly so upset with POTUS Obama's attempt to be a POTUS FOR ALL AMERICANS, by his diplomatic negotiations with the RepubliCANTS/GOPukes/teabagger
I am curious....who the Phuck do they thnk will follow them?

We cannot overcome racism in this country as long as there is religion. I'm white, living in a majority-black neighborhood here in MN. I am deeply afraid to talk to any black person or any white person I see associating with blacks. Goodness! Why is that? you may wonder. Because I'm gay. And black heteros are very homophobic and WILL do damage to me should they know I'm gay. So, especially in my neighborhood, I stay so much in the closet, that many neighbors never know that someone lives in my house.
ReplyDeleteLast year, one black Section 8 renter told the police (after I complained about his stealing some property of mine) that he wants me to stay away from his kids because he thinks I'm "queer." (Note: I don't like kids.)
Without talking to any black neighbors, next-door blacks, a few years ago, threw lots of garbage into my back yard. How do I know it was because they thought I was gay? Because one of their visitors, on the 14th April 2005, called me a MF faggot--TWICE. Later that evening, he held a one-man demonstration in front of my house calling me every vile name his twisted mind could invent. My neighbor across the street witnessed this, and called the police.
Especially black hetero men want to know if I have a girlfriend or if I'm married (I don't wear a wedding band), and if I have children. Maybe it's a natural course of conversation amongst straight men, but in my case, it is prying into my sexual orientation--which carries the real possibility of violence should I open up as an equal. With white atheist heteros, I have no fear. I can be who I am.
In 1998, a Rev. Jerry McAfee, Baptist, publicly shamed me unmercifully because of my being an atheist and gay--as I stated in a response at a KMOJ-FM show. That was Tuesday, February 17, 1998, held at Lucille's Kitchen. The forum being held was on 'The Village' and what responsible citizens need to do to help black children compete with whites for jobs after high school.
Most black heteros definitely do not want someone who is atheist/white/gay near their children. Sometimes I don't know if I'm hated more for being an atheist, gay or white. But over the years, I've seen way too much hatred from black people because of my being gay and an atheist. It's better to avoid them.
So, we were talking about white and black Americans working together? Not in the lifetime of the youngest reader of this blog!
Mr. Atheistcable,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you as a reader of this blog, and I appreciate you taking the time to write your experiences to me. I have personally experienced some forms of racism in my life time, but have witnessed many more forms of racism against other people of color. I have not walked a mile in your shoes, as I am not gay or an Atheist, but as a Black man in a white man's society, I know a bit about discrimination.
Now as to your specific fears and concerns, I do not have a solution other than I would think being gay is a lot easier than being Black. I can not hide or cloak my skin color, you on the other hand can hide your homosexuality. It is NOT right that you have to hide that in order to survive in this society. You should be able to, openly, live your desired lifestyle.
I disagree with you 500%. racism can be defeated tomorrow if people were to wake up and treat one another as human beings. I can't not speak to your experiences you listed here above because I am a different type of human being. I am a fighter, and a lover. I confront oppression and injustice to people whenever/where ever I encounter it. I choose never to hide or turn away from confrontation.
I do know if I were you, I'd handle it differently, but that is because you and I are different people. I wish I were your neighbor, that way you and I could handle this shit a lot differently. Are you on Facebook? if so, I'd be honored to become Facebook friends. I am "Jueseppi Reelect Obama Baker" & if you are interested, look me up, I'd like to talk more.

ReplyDeleteGalatians 3:28
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
There is no race, class or male and female in Jesus. Try reading all of the Bible before saying stuff like that. Jesus was not white BYTW.
