Ukraine’s Deadly Gamble

 Ukraine bribed the Biden family and the Clinton family (it's the biggest contribution to the Clinton Foundation) expecting to be protected.  

Yes, the Ukrainian soldiers standing up to Putin are very brave, but it was Americans that put them in harm’s way by using their country as a weapon, first against Russia and then against each other, with little consideration for the Ukrainian people who are now paying the price for America’s folly.

Just as Russiagate seemed to be coming to a close in July 2019, U.S. national security officials injected yet another Ukraine-related narrative into the public sphere to target the American president. This one appears to have been initiated by Ukrainian American White House official Alexander Vindman and his colleague Eric Ciaramella, a CIA analyst who had served as Vice President Biden’s point man on Ukraine during the Obama administration. When Vindman told Ciaramella about a phone call in which Trump had asked the Ukrainian president for information regarding allegations about the Biden family’s corrupt activities in Kyiv, they called on help from U.S. intelligence services, the State Department, the Pentagon, Democratic Party officials, and the press. Quick, scramble Team Ukraine—Trump is asking questions!

In order to cover up for what the Bidens and perhaps other senior Obama officials had done in Ukraine, a Democratic Congress impeached Trump for trying to figure out what American policymakers had been doing in Ukraine over the past decade. As for the Ukrainians, they again put themselves in the middle of it, when they should have stayed home.

The end result was that the Ukrainians had helped weaken an American president who, unlike Obama, gave them arms to defend themselves against the Russians. More seriously, they reinforced Putin’s view that, especially in partnership with the Democrats, Ukraine did not understand its true place in the world as a buffer state—and would continue to allow themselves to be used as an instrument by policymakers whose combination of narcissism and fecklessness made them particularly prone to dangerous miscalculations. The 2020 election victory of Joe Biden, a man whose family had been paid by the Ukrainians to protect them, can have done little to quiet Putin’s sense that Ukraine needed to be put in its place before it was used yet again as a weapon against him.

Thanks to Biden

 The American Government is preparing to arrest and imprison parents concerned about what their children are being taught in school while Russia and China are invading their neighbors and bribing American politicians.  

Guardian: Big Oil Conspiring to Use Ukraine to Overturn the Green Revolution

 Next: Big Oil is Putin's Puppet!


But the Guardian’s push for a “Green Marshall Plan” shows they still haven’t faced their own culpability in Europe’s energy security crisis.

The only reason Europe is facing an energy crisis is greens like the Guardian convinced European politicians to back renewable energy, renewable energy which has utterly failed to deliver.

Europe’s ongoing high risk dependence on imports of Russian gas, despite all the billions invested in wind and solar, is compelling evidence that renewable energy is not an affordable replacement for fossil fuel.

The Guardian has repeatedly published absurd claims that renewables are or soon will be the cheapest option. Why would anyone need a “Green Marshall Plan” to embrace the cheaper option? People would flock to the cheapest acceptable option of their own free will.

Dear Guardian authors, man up, grow a pair and admit you are wrong about renewable energy. James Lovelock had the balls to admit he made a mistake about climate change. You should follow his example, before your engineering challenged fantasies cause even more damage.

Fed Forces Gather

Team Biden is calling out the Army to confront a bunch of truckers.

 

 Are the feds trying to provoke a confrontation?


The evidence seems to support that they are.


Look for false flag operations NOW 

Biden, Ukraine, and Al Capone’s vault

 If you don't think that the same people who stole the last election and called the January 6th demonstrated an "insurrection" are feeding the American people a lot of lies about Russia and Ukraine, you're delusional. 

I’m fully aware that we are on the receiving end of massive amounts of propaganda. From the moment the Daily Mail first ran the story about the 13 Ukrainians who refused to surrender and ended up, instead, being murdered, I instantly thought “Belgian nuns and bayoneted babies.” In 1914, when Germany invaded France and Belgium, the British media immediately went into propaganda overdrive.

What was happening on the ground was real and bad, but it had the clinical feel of a war report. The media needed things that grabbed people emotionally. And so the British instantly learned that the Germans had raped Belgian nuns and bayoneted Belgian babies. I don’t believe any of those stories were ever proven to be true, but they didn’t need to be. They stirred up the British population, making them ready for war.

As we are inundated with heroic stories about Ukrainians, including President Zelensky, it feels like the same script from more than 100 years ago. And again, I’m not saying that Putin isn’t evil, the attack isn’t evil, the Ukrainians aren’t brave, or anything like that. I’m just saying that we’re being manipulated. The only other person I see making the same point is Sundance:

 

Putin’s missiles finally explode the Never-Never Land of unreality in which we have been living?

It’s early days, of course, but so far, the West’s mythical land of prancing unicorns looks bulletproof.

Even as rockets rained down on Ukraine, Western elites worried about how the war would affect LGBTQ people, as if Putin might have developed queer-seeking missiles.

Others voiced concern that grandparents huddled in bomb shelters beneath the pockmarked streets of Kiev might not be social distancing.

The New York Times lamented that few of the Ukrainians fleeing for their lives were wearing masks. They probably weren’t triple-boosted either. And God forbid any of them were shot dead without first using a QR-code to check out. ....

 Those who say cockroaches are the only things that will survive a nuclear holocaust are wrong. On the evidence available so far, Woke – that virus of the mind which has turned Westerners into mindless, unicorn-chasing simpletons – will probably survive as well.

The Russians may well destroy Europe, and China may well dominate the Pacific, but they will never kill our stupid!

America’s Armed Forces Ramp Up Diversity And Inclusion Training In Face Of Looming War In Ukraine

 

PENTAGON—In response to Russia's minor incursion into Ukraine, the Pentagon has issued a directive for all military personnel to ramp up their diversity and inclusion training.

"If we are to go toe-to-toe with Russia, we need to wield our most powerful weapon: diversity," said General Mark Milley to reporters while waiting for his fresh manicure to dry. "Starting today, our top priority is to make sure all Marines, Airmen, Seamen, and Soldiers have completed modules 1-17 of our mandatory whiteness and gender studies training."

In a statement, President Joe Biden voiced support for the inclusivity directive, emphasizing unity, diversity, and hating anyone who thinks differently.

"Look, Jack," said Biden to a model in a Sears catalog he mistook for his secretary.  "Russia is going to come down hard on Ukraine unless we enforce gender inclusivity and minority representation in our military. "This is important, folks, no joke! For real! Gotta do this stuff! I'm not kidding! Trunalimunumaprzure!"

All military personnel have dropped all other training exercises to complete the modules. 

"OK MEN! SCHOOL CIRCLE RIGHT NOW!" said Marine Sergeant Jack "Butcher" McCree, his platoon of riflemen training out in the field. "We have to complete this course on transgender furry BDSM and how it affects indigenous people of color! GO! GO! GO!" 


Jen Psaki is the condescending face of the Biden administration

 

Psaki, a former competitive swimmer raised in Greenwich, Conn., seems to never have encountered people living paycheck to paycheck, or worried about how they’ll feed, clothe or educate their kids — amid a global pandemic, no less.

If anything, her statements seem aimed at one cohort alone: high-earning, highly educated liberals and progressives just like her, ones who think anyone on the other side is too stupid to acknowledge.

Last October, as the nation confronted unprecedented supply chain issues affecting not just the holidays but food and medical supplies, Psaki sarcastically minimized it all as “the tragedy of the treadmill that’s delayed.”

Yes, to Psaki, and the Biden administration, the supply chain crisis was down to a Peloton backlog, a minor inconvenience afflicting the crabby 1 percent.

After White House chief of staff Ronald Klain doubled down, the RNC’s Tommy Pigott tweeted, “Struggling to pay for fuel, food and housing because of rising prices is not a ‘high class problem.’ Biden is making everyone worse off, but instead of stopping the damage, their strategy is to try to gaslight Americans.”

Indeed, gaslighting is Psaki’s M.O. Here she is on our withdrawal from Afghanistan, days after a 17-year-old boy fell to his death from a departing US C-17 transport plane, huddled masses below clinging to the aircraft as it took off:

“I would not say that this has been anything but a success.”

 Psaki recently told the ladies of “The View,” “Feel those emotions, go to a kickboxing class and have a margarita.”

This answer is “the tragedy of the treadmill” redux. I couldn’t say it better than Stephanie Gallardo, who is running for Congress from Washington state.

“Unfortunately,” Gallardo replied, “kickboxing classes average $150 so are $149 outside of my budget. Drinking a margarita at 11:37 a.m. on a Friday doesn’t seem advisable.”

Psaki announced she’ll be leaving her post sometime this year. If Biden hopes to turn things around, he’d do well to find a spokesperson who feels our pain — rather than one who mocks it.

How today’s elites manipulate America’s working class

 Glenn Reynolds "Instapundit"

In the old days, Russia would send communist agitators to rile up the working class. Nowadays, they don’t have to. The West’s ruling class is happy to do the agitating.

Over the past few years — and, really, the past few decades — we’ve seen a steady assault on the well-being, and the social standing, of the working class, and a decline in upward mobility. And as people start to notice and object, the response has been to double down.

While the upper and upper-middle classes, what demographer Joel Kotkin calls the “Gentry Class,” flourished from the initial tech boom to the present, income and general well-being for the middle and lower-middle classes stagnated or declined. Manufacturing jobs went overseas, and those left unemployed were snidely told to “learn to code.” 

Occasionally the mask slipped, as with Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” remark, or Barack Obama’s snide reference to people “bitterly clinging” to their guns and their religion. Increasingly, though, the mask wasn’t there at all. The upper classes draw a lot of their self-esteem from a claimed superiority to the working class, which requires a lot of put-downs for its maintenance.

Then came COVID. The widespread lockdowns were nice for members of the Gentry Class, who fired up their laptops and worked remotely. They stayed home “keeping safe” while members of the working class brought them stuff.

There were a few glimmers of gratitude — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau even told people to thank truckers — but those didn’t last long, nor did they conceal what turned out to be the biggest transfer of wealth in human history, as big businesses like Amazon and Walmart thrived while mom-and-pop businesses failed under the lockdowns.

And sometimes when the mask slipped, it literally slipped. As many have noticed, we developed a new convention in which the servant class is masked, while the celebrities and the oligarchs go free, something demonstrated at gatherings ranging from the Met Gala to the Oscars. Elsewhere, stars and politicians flouted the mask laws while small businesses were shut down.

Then the mandatory vaccine rules proliferated even as the vaccines appeared to underperform. Canadian truckers who protested were smeared by Trudeau as racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, etc. Trudeau, who took a knee to violent, destructive Black Lives Matter protests, invoked virtual martial law to put the working-class protesters in their place. By arresting people, seizing bank accounts and threatening to take drivers’ trucks, Trudeau was creating his own martyrs.

Polls indicate that most US Democrats support him and would do the same here.

Want the working class to feel isolated, angry and ill-used? The West’s own leadership is doing a better job than any Soviet agitators did.

In the end, Trudeau blinked. Maybe he remembered something important: It’s not the laptop class that brings food to the grocery stores. But will American leaders remember that?

War in Europe or war at home?

Biden multi-million dollar bribe

Twitter supports Putin

Trump was right!

Biden has killed friendly pipelines while supporting enemy pipelines.

Biden Killed The Israel-Europe EastMed Gas Pipeline, How’s That Looking Now?

 

Why is the U.S. continuing to pursue a policy that strengthens Russia and weakens our allies?

Is Biden Putin's puppet? 

Joseph Biden intended his presidency to be about tackling the climate crisis – his most urgent priority after containing Covid-19. On his very first day in office, President Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline project, which was to carry millions of gallons of oil from Canada to refineries in the United States. The executive order canceling Keystone also revoked oil and gas development at national wildlife monuments.

A few months later, Biden lifted sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline planned to carry natural gas from Russia to Germany, and ultimately approved it. Previous administrations opposed it as increasing German dependence on Russia and letting Russia deprive Ukraine of revenue by circumventing existing gas-transit networks. As of 2020, Russia supplied roughly 65% of Germany’s natural gas imports and 40% of European Union imported gas. Italy, which imports some 90% of its gas, is also heavily dependent on Russia.

Finally, citing environmental concerns, Biden withdrew support for the EastMed Pipeline in January 2022. According to an accord between Israel, Greece, and Cyprus, the underwater pipeline was planned to stretch 1,180 miles across the Mediterranean Sea, connecting Israeli gas to Cyprus and Greece, and on to Italy. It was expected to cost about $7 billion, and would have carried 10 billion cubic meters of gas a year initially, with the possibility of eventually doubling capacity. Biden’s withdrawal killed the project for practical purposes.

Media Blames Trump After Joe Biden’s Russia Policy Fails to Deter Vladimir Putin

 


“…the Russian thug now attacking Ukraine helped Donald Trump become president because he thought that would some day make this kind of attack easier to pull off. He was right in the short term, longer term, TBD,” wrote CNN White House correspondent John Harwood.


You can't make this stuff up.  Wonder if theybeleive it or if their bosses forced them to say it?

To the Leftwing Propaganda Media and NeverTrump: You Installed This Dying-Brained Weakling in the White House. Stop Trying to Shift Blame to "The Right" By Claiming We're Responsible for Biden's -- and Your -- Failures.

 

You're transparently attempting to shift blame from Biden and yourselves for supporting him to people who have zero influence over this.

Fuck You.

The media and NeverTrump foisted a weak, frail, brain-damaged leftist who has been wrong about every single foreign policy question of the last 40 years on us. Unsurprisingly, he failed in Afghanistan, and now has failed in Ukraine.

The media and NeverTrump obviously do not want to admit their own responsibility for this -- why start now? -- so they're proposing an alternate villain: You.

True, Biden is the "President" and therefore has all of the diplomatic and military power and responsibility for preventing the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But the media and NeverTrump are proposing: Isn't the real responsibility for this Yours? Because you... aren't rooting hard enough for Ukraine?

Trump pushed NATO to spend MORE money to defend itself! The lies when it accuses Trump of weakening NATO.

Why They’re So Afraid of the Truckers

 

Someone once said that history does not repeat, but it rhymes.  We need to remember that the Communists in the USSR were brought down by the very workers they claimed to support.  It was all a lie.


 Here's what the Soviet communists were saying when the workers in Poland revolted.  Sound familiar?

Nonetheless we will still need to react—and by that I mean react concretely—to the stunts of hooligan elements now active in Poland, whom the government has not taken any measures to combat. . . . What’s going on there now is they’re defacing the monuments of our soldiers . . . they’re insulting the Soviet Union in every possible manner . . . In other words, they’re mocking us,” Soviet Politburo member Nikolai Tikhonov exclaimed during a September 1981 debate over how to respond to the strikes and headline-grabbing protests by the Polish union, Solidarity. 

Another Politburo member suggested using the media to smear the independent Polish union to win the public relations battle: “Both in ‘Pravda’ and in other newspapers we must organize statements of this sort.” 

Another warned that the workers’ revolt might spread—thus challenging the legitimacy of a system that appropriated the industrial worker’s hammer crossed with the agricultural worker’s scythe. “Solidarity has decided not to confine itself solely to Poland. It is attempting to impose its subversive ideas on neighboring states and to interfere in their internal affairs.” He added a smear familiar to today’s ears, “This is just what fascists do in creating brigades of stormtroopers.”...

Then, like now, academics and media were a tool of first resort to suppress and smear political opposition.

"Freedom"'s Just Another Word for ...er, "White Supremacism"

 

This is the CBC Canadian Broadcasting Company):

Why the word 'freedom' is such a useful rallying cry for protesters

The word has become common among far-right groups, experts say

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength: Just "follow the science"

Aldous Huxley, in a 1946 preface to Brave New World (1932), wrote of a people of slaves who would love their enslavement: 'A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude'.

Freedom is servitude: just ask the CBC.

People who wear masks driving alone in their cars or walking in the park love their servitude; they are exhibiting their goodness, their virtue, and their loyalty to the State.

'My Nigerian great-grandfather sold slaves'

 

This is never brought up during Black History Month.  There’s a mythology that white slave traders ran around the bush kidnapping Africans, but that’s bunk, of course — they’d pretty much all have died. They bought African slaves from Africans. Back then if you lost a war, you either died or were enslaved. That’s just how it worked.  

History is history, despite efforts to rewrite it

Amid the global debate about race relations, colonialism and slavery, some of the Europeans and Americans who made their fortunes in trading human beings have seen their legacies reassessed, their statues toppled and their names removed from public buildings.

Nigerian journalist and novelist Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes that one of her ancestors sold slaves, but argues that he should not be judged by today's standards or values.

Short presentational grey line

My great-grandfather, Nwaubani Ogogo Oriaku, was what I prefer to call a businessman, from the Igbo ethnic group of south-eastern Nigeria. He dealt in a number of goods, including tobacco and palm produce. He also sold human beings.

"He had agents who captured slaves from different places and brought them to him," my father told me.

Nwaubani Ogogo's slaves were sold through the ports of Calabar and Bonny in the south of what is today known as Nigeria.

People from ethnic groups along the coast, such as the Efik and Ijaw, usually acted as stevedores for the white merchants and as middlemen for Igbo traders like my great-grandfather.

What if the largest experiment on human beings in history is a failure?

 It is starting to look to me like the largest experiment on human beings in recorded history has failed.  And, if this rather dry report from a senior Indiana life insurance executive holds true, then Reiner Fuellmich’s “Crimes against Humanity” push for convening new Nuremberg trials starts to look a lot less quixotic and a lot more prophetic....

“The head of Indianapolis-based insurance company OneAmerica said the death rate is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people.

... this report implies that the federal workplace vaccine mandates have driven what appear to be a true crime against humanity.  Massive loss of life in (presumably) workers that have been forced to accept a toxic vaccine at higher frequency relative to the general population of Indiana.

NEWSWATCH: Calgary officer says politicians using police as ‘hired goons’

 “What is happening in Ottawa, with the clearly political influence on the police to physically exert political will on peaceful protesters for nothing more than possible political gain, is so very wrong on so many levels,” said Motycka.

Motycka said the statement, “I was just following orders,” is no longer an excuse for his fellow officers....

BLM's millions unaccounted for after leaders quietly jumped ship

 

No one appears to have been in charge at Black Lives Matter for months. The address it lists on tax forms is wrong, and the charity's two board members won't say who controls its $60 million bankroll, a Washington Examiner investigation has found.

BLM's shocking lack of transparency surrounding its finances and operations raises major legal and ethical red flags, multiple charity experts told the Washington Examiner.


BLM was never a charity.  It was an extortion scam that got millions from corporate America who used shareholders' money to buy off racist criminals.

Justin’s Puppet Masters and the Protest Against Them

Critical Race Theory is the Marxism of Skin Color

Never Apologize

 So, libertarian law guru Ilya Shapiro got a gig at Georgetown Law. When Grandpa Badfinger got his chance to keep his racist promise to only appoint a black woman, Shapiro observed that the nominee would forever bear an asterisk since she had been selected for her race and gender. This is not only true, but it is central to Biden’s decision. He said it. And the libs love it. Then Shapiro said it. And they freaked out.

Of course people will think she was picked for a reason other than her abilities. Biden promised he would pick his nominee for a reason other than her abilities.

Apparently, telling the truth is racist, even when the truth is that Democrats are racist. You just can’t say it, even though they say it. It’s like CRT. No, it is not taught in schools and also it must continue to be taught in schools.

Regardless, conservatives need to understand that the institutions – like academia – are past hope. They must be leveled and rebuilt into something that’s not trash. Anyone who does not get this, absolutely understand this, should not be elected dog catcher.

Masks Are for the Peasants

 

Gavin Newsom decided he did not need to wear a mask at a big football game in the middle of a city where you have to wrap your face in a cloth just to get some tacos. He got photographed maskless, then lied about it. And you are expected to take it. After all, this is no longer about science, if it ever was. This is about you peons knowing your place.

And even as these schmucks demand obedience, they quiver in terror at the thought of Joe Rogan saying unapproved stuff. I keep telling you – these people only have a Potemkin façade of strength. They are weak, and their quest to shut up everyone who refuses to kowtow to them is proof.

Will We End Up Invading Canada?

 

The old stereotype of Canadians as slow-talking, syrup-slurping igloo jockeys has been dashed this week as our friends to the north have launched a peaceful working class revolt against the blackface-wearing clown they have as their prime minister, as well as against that country’s entire ruling caste. We patriotic Americans stand in solidarity with the big rig truckers pushing back against The Man – although that assumes their oppressor’s gender. But, in this Age of Insanity, there’s always the possibility of chaos – even in Canada.

While the good-natured, polite pushback against the globalist establishment has been entirely pleasant so far, the terrified elite’s reaction to it has not. It’s been ugly and could get uglier. All over the world, it is the same when the people of what we once knew as the Free World challenge the powerful. The failed global elite is getting desperate to retain its power, from Austria to Australia. All those alleged principles you hear so much about when you try to protect or pursue your own interests? Forget them. Silencing dissenters. Banning assemblies. Even turning the cops on peaceful protestors. These are the tools in the rulers’ toolbox. You see it here in America too, in government and out. Even Neil Young wants to shut down and gag Joe Rogan for refusing to enforce the official narrative, and is anyone surprised? They adore censorship. They won’t call it that. They call it suppressing “misinformation,” with the definition of that term being anything they don’t want people to hear. And they call protest against the corrupt incompetents of the ruling class “insurrection.”

The tragic kingdom of Anthony Fauci





The endless media worship of Anthony Fauci is the culmination of this. He resisted it in his first casting as a glorified antagonist to Donald Trump, hiding his anguished brow during press briefings. But he seems to have realized that his inflated status was a convenient cover to avoid answering questions about his larger role in the pandemic, specifically his relationships with EcoHealth Alliance, its head Peter Daszak, his friends at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and its bosses in the government of China.

 To understand Anthony Fauci is to understand that this is his career’s work. The enormity of that goes far beyond Twitter hashtags and cable news monologues. We might conclude that the pandemic is the predictable result of human beings screwing around with nature’s source code — so predictable that even the CIA foresaw it.We might hope that Covid is a once-in-a century event, an almost unfathomable accident. We might fear that, because the pandemic response is hard to process on a day-to-day level, it’s simply the end. We would be grievously mistaken.

 The response to the pandemic has radically transformed the working and social lives of everyday people all over the world. Anthony Fauci and his colleagues view this as the scientific process — even if it’s a process they most likely started and manipulated. Every new discovery, and every new step down the path of pandemic response, furthers that process — even if it results in mass death, economic destruction, a lost generation of schoolkids and permanent masking for the survivors.

When Frankenstein’s monster broke out of his dungeon and wrought havoc on the village below, killing scores, the doctors did not attempt to stop the carnage. They simply watched, studied it and wondered what they could learn. Medical bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci are just getting started. Sixteen million deaths are simply another opportunity for new funding: more research, more viral tinkering, more genetic splicing, more protein manipulation, all of it creating the material for the next pandemic, that can then be fixed by the federal government’s partner, Big Pharma.

Whoopie Goldberg learns about race

 

I have a feeling the "learning" about the Holocaust and what Hitler was up to from 1933 to 1945 she's claiming she's done in the last 24 hours -- something she somehow did not learn about for all 70 previous years of her worthless life -- will not stick, and at some point not far down the road, she'll be making noises about racism only being something that can happen to dark-skinned people....

Whoopi described the Holocaust as "white people doing it to white people. So, this is y'all go fight amongst yourselves."

Wow. The Holocaust is just white people shit, white people Doing Some Things to each other. Got nothing to do with me. Not interested!

Well, you know, the great majority of white people whose ancestors did not emigrate to America until after the Civil War, or were far too poor to own slaves, or who were Northerners, would also like to explore this "ain't got nothin' to do with me" philosophy you're sketching out here, Whoopi.

But that is a really dismissive and nasty take on the Holocaust. And therefore it's 100% honest -- this is white people shit. Whoopi don't care. She's got no Grievance Stakes in this.

And furthermore, she insist that there are no racial Grievance Stakes to be had here, because "it's not about race." Racial grievance is something only her race gets to wallow in.

This is all a nasty political game about deciding about which races deserve racial sympathy, and which -- such as, here, the Jews -- do not.

Or maybe she just is this ignorant of any history or experience outside her own. In which case, I guess I have to ask why I grew up having to constantly learn and relearn about black civil rights icons, when Whoopi could obviously give no cares about anything not directly affecting her.

Do you know how many times I had to read about Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, or W.E.B. DuBois?

Or you know, I had to read The Invisible Man thinking "Oh fun, it's the invisible man," but no, psych, it's a racial metaphor, see?!

Not fun at all. And I'm supposed to be "learning" about the politics of the radical black community. In ninth grade.

And meanwhile, Whoopi doesn't even know that the Nazis had some interesting ideas about race.

Must be nice.
