    George Carlin would consider you to be a ****ing moron.

    George Carlin was the best bullshit detector on the planet.
    How right he was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AB9LZiOh1I

    How true: https://tinyurl.com/nfvypfg

    Frank Zappa was a close second. The lyrics to Zappa's songs are more
    relevant today than they were fifty years ago:

    Mr. America, walk on by your schools that do not teach
    Mr. America, walk on by the minds that won't be reached
    Mr. America try to hide the emptiness that's you inside
    But once you find that the way you lied
    And all the corny tricks you tried
    Will not forestall the rising tide of HUNGRY FREAKS DADDY!

    Mr. America, walk on by your supermarket dream
    Mr. America, walk on by the liquor store supreme
    Mr. America try to hide the product of your savage pride
    The useful minds that it denied
    The day you shrugged and stepped aside
    You saw their clothes, and then you cried,
    "Those HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY!"

    Carlin & Zappa ... how we need them now !

    Find Zappa's "Trouble Every Day" .... sounds like the nightly
    news from Portland and NYC ............ I think it inspired Henley's
    "Dirty Laundry" a decade+ later.

    WTF is with this Black and White shit anyways?

    People come in all kinds of colors, from purple thru hot pink.

    But black or white? Naaaa.

    Then why do skin-lightening creams sell so terrifically among dark-skinned people?

    For a real eye-opening experience, go to your local library and see if you
    can find a book entitled "The Color Complex" by Kathy Russell, et al. Amazon lists it too, and it offers a shockingly frank look at the obsession blacks have with skin shade (it's authored by three people: A black man, a black woman, and a White woman): http://tinyurl.com/heddxak

    Check out the readers' comments too ("'Dirty Laundry' is Stinkin' up the House"). Das right, bro: Jigs judge each other by skin color first, not by any "content of character".

    This is the "dirty laundry" that blacks don't like to air in front of White folks: Their obsession with skin shade. Blacks have this "color complex," where they deride each other as "tar babies," "high yellahs," "redbones,"
    and "snow queens." In addition to the "bag test" (skin lighter than a paper bag), there was also the "ruler test" (hair had to be as straight as a
    ruler). When Clarence Thomas -- as dark-skinned and nappy-haired as any
    African -- was appointed to the Supreme Court, his lighter-skinned former neighbors in his childhood home town were not amused...

    Because they want to look beige not white and straight zinc hasn't got that effect.
    Fact is that +really+ dark skinned people look *purple* to me.
