Can’t We Just Let This Die?

While reading FARK.com I found the story below. While not exactly a major news item it still bothers me. My wife and I are an interracial couple, our son Aidan is as pale as Casper’s ass and aside from his nose, he doesn’t look as though he is my wife’s biological son so we often hear comments about how wonderful it was for my wife to adopt my son as her own; ad nauseum. If not something similar, my wife is also the subject of a number of rude comments from members of the African American community who have accused her of “betraying her race” and some people have even told her she needs to “stay in the race”. The point being, I’ve come to the conclusion that while race does sometimes play a factor in life, its influence is no where near as widespread as it’s been argued. I won’t ruin the article, surmise to say that I think its a total crock of shit, but I would appreciate a different perspective.

Shell-shocked!

I’d rather be liberal than illiberal.
I’d rather be progressive than conservative.

I wouldn’t ordinarily, however, I was let off early from work and I simply can’t muster the energy to work on my book. Its a bit of a hobby in a way.

Didn’t someone tell him to stay on the back of the truck and just bark?

I liked it better when he just barked.

I’ve discovered that it all boils down to brain wiring: your brain is wired to worship magic or it isn’t, either it’s wired to utilize logic or it isn’t, either it’s analytical of myths or it isn’t.

I just went over to Debunking Christianity to see what was happening.
The photo shows what happens when one person thinks he is superior to another based on skin colour.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

In Oz we didn’t use the black fella as a slave cos he wouldn’t work in an iron lung; we just used him as target practice.
A few years ago I saw an interview with Malcolm Fraser (note his year of birth); PM in the 70s. He recalled as a very small boy a coupla riders came onto the property. In answering his father’s question they said they’d been out hunting and only got a couple. What they’d been hunting was never mentioned as it was known they’d been hunting blacks.
These days Malcolm is a tireless Aboriginal Rights campaigner.
Although he was a right-wing politician in his day he’s looking more like a lefty these days contrary to Churchill’s: To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy.

Moloch: That sucks for you. I can’t even think of interracial sexual relations without feeling sick.

I think we should all start flooding Moloch’s email with interracial porn, but that could just be the whiskey talking.

Back to writing now....
