The Pot Callin’ the Kettle Black – I mean African American!

So, some Australian loser named Rudy decided to call Molly a racist because she wrote about me and called me a “Black lawyer” and referred to herself as a “Jewish Girl.” In fact, now he’s not even sure he wants to come to the good old U S of A because we’re sooooooooo racists.

WELL STAY YOUR BITCH ASS IN AUSTRALIA! (Australia gets pink because they're clearly a bunch of pussies).

Is it really news that Americans are racist? After all, aren’t we the land of the smallpox blanket and the home of Kunta? (insert crack of slavemaster’s whip here) OUCH! I mean Toby?

But for fuck’s sake. An Australian tryin to grandstand offends even my jaded sensibilities. The only country MORE racist than America is Australia! An Australian sayin that Americans are more racist is like the Aryan Nation sayin that the KKK is more racist. Want proof? Let’s take a look, shall we Mates?

BW (before whitey), Australia was a lovely land inhabited by Aborginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who lived traditional lifestyles and spoke hundreds of different languages. These peoples had amicable relationships with Asian and oceanic mariners and traders. Then came the white man.

After European contact, Australia became a penal colony for crazy white people who stole, raped, and pillaged. When the crazy white people were freed, they decided to become a nation and took all the land in the name of the crown.

Then they began killin up the indigenous people. Those they couldn't kill, they tried to assimilate by ripping children from their homes and sending them to live with white people. DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

When the Aboriginal peoples wanted their land back, the Australian court system said NO because the white people were there first (terra nullius), which was obviously a complete LIE. The Australian "in"justice system kept perpetrating that lie until the 1992 in Mabo v. Queensland where the court acknowledged aboriginal title for the first time (but they still didn't give the land back). That was a full 169 years AFTER the US courts recognized aboriginal title!

Oh, but that was back in 1992. They can't still be big fat racists, can they? But, of course they can!!! In 2000, the UN called the Australian government's treatment of Aborigines "racist" and said that it "seems like a throwback to attitudes 30 years ago." That's right kiddies, 30 year throwback! They were still rockin dashikis 30 years ago. So, let me know when you guys catch up Rudy! K?

Rudy thinks that mentioning race makes you racist. I, and a whole bunch of critical race theorists would agree, that ignoring race doesn’t make you less racist. It just makes you RETARDED! (Actually, retarded is too nice of a word because special people don’t mean any harm. Rudy does.)

Just because we over here in America like to define ourselves any fuckin way we want doesn’t mean that we’re automatically more racist than you. It makes us race-conscious – something you Australians apparently are NOT. But what can one expect from a nation that produced such treasures as Yahoo Serious, Crocodile Dundee, and Kylie Minogue?

If Rudy bothered to actually read Molly’s piece, he’d note that she NEVER said that she wasn’t racist. In fact, most of the piece was about how she wasn’t as political as someone like myself or her sister. What she said was that she struggles with her feelings about race on a daily basis, especially as someone who could choose to ignore race, much like good old Rudy, if she chose. What makes Molly different is that she’s honest with herself and actually up to the challenge. She’s trying not to live in a world with blinders on.

So Rudy, I’m sure my rant has not penetrated your strong sense of superiority – the fact of which will neither make me sad nor lose sleep tonight. However, you might consider some introspection. What about Molly’s piece incensed you so? Could you be projecting? Are you jealous? Do you need me to be your Black friend too?

When you throw stones at glass houses . . . uhhhh . . . when you smut a kettle . . . mmmmm . . . Eureka, I’ve got it! When you throw a boomerang, be sure you move out the way before is knocks you in the ass, bitch. Is that Australian enough for ya?

No one would ever accuse me of being a patriot, but I can honestly say that Rudy's blog entry made me feel not so grossed out to be an American (that's all I can muster without throwing up).
