Quote of the Day:

Reality is what you can get away with.

RAW

  1. Biracial…….
    There is only one race: Human. Everything else is an artificial construct designed to divide humans into “victim groups” so that self-appointed elites can exercise power over them and control society.

    I fight back by always checking the box which says “African-American”. Scientists claim that we are all descended from a single female from Africa. Therefore, by the logic of the racists who perpetuate “Races” we in America must all be African-Americans by definition.

    Other times I have checked the box marked “other” and written “Euro-American”.

    But on the whole, saying that a person is anything other than “Human” is just plain wrong, when defining their “race”.

    YMMV, of course, but that’s how I see it.

    1. Ask me no questions…
      Race? Not as much as I used to…
      Age? Unfortunately, at a rate of 1-year for every 365 days.
      Sex? Yes, please. (My cell number is printed on the back)

      Do you smoke? Only when I drink.
      Do you drink? Only when I smoke.

      Have you ever been convicted of a felony? No, I got married and joined the army instead.
