What people without homes *really* need is (white) people with a shitload of privilege to be LESS interested in helping. What poor women getting beat up *really* need is more guys like you just chillin'. Yeah, chillin'. Chillin' is so obviously a universal good. <BR/><BR/>And I don't think all humor must be devoid of controversy. Man, Lenny Bruce is like one of my heroes. I think one of the main purposes of good satire is to push and pull at the fringes of society. The problem happens when it's not totally clear if something is satire or not. (Big question: is something still satire if no one can tell?) The point I was trying to make is that if any of my activist friends, doing work in their communities to combat racism, sexism, oppression, gentrification, etc. read this blog, I don't think they would be able to readily identify it as satire. And that's a problem. I can, because I know Schuyler, but I don't think that would be readily apparent to them. Especially with all the dubiously "satirical" comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1153766775788841792006-07-24T14:46:00.000-04:002006-07-24T14:46:00.000-04:00Shellshock,I hate to defend Schuyler since he is s...Shellshock,<BR/><BR/>I hate to defend Schuyler since he is so damned super-popular, but I totally disagree with everything you're saying.<BR/><BR/>Bad things, including, but not limited to, pimps, racism, murder, colonialism, sexism, anti-Semitism, death, and beastiality can all be VERY funny.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if you're Schuyler's buddy or anything, but I think you need a serious chill pill.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850398011830933932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1153763532320312902006-07-24T13:52:00.000-04:002006-07-24T13:52:00.000-04:00Uh, Schuyler, you're funny, and this blog is funny...Uh, Schuyler, you're funny, and this blog is funny, but what's with the weird and bad racial politics? I mean, I know you, and I know you're making fun of people like yourself who (unlike yourself) have bad race politics, but that doesn't actually allow you to "ironically" spell out the n-word (even the colloquial version) on the blog. Yeah, yeah, self-mockery, "the difference betwen white and very white is...", but you don't seem to understand that a lot of people actually think that way. I had a five hour fight from 12:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. with a white Seattle "liberal" hipster, who at one point was pounding on the table and shouting "SOMETIMES CONQUEST AND COLONIALISM ARE GOOD! THEY ARE NEEDED!" Um, no.<BR/><BR/>So I am warning you that someone who doesn't know you is going to think you're the conquest and colonialism guy, which is not OK. <BR/><BR/>And even I'm not OK with joking about my time spent working in the cherry orchards in Yakima. I got the job of "ticket-puncher" (marking off the number of boxes of cherries each person picked) because I was the white kid of the white orchard owner's friend and therefore "trustworthy". Ha! I was Freedom-Punching those cards like nobody's business. But that's illegal, so don't tell, please? I just didn'tk now what else to do. I was 16-17 years old and held an inordinate amount of power over other people's health and wealth and well-being JUST BECAUSE I WAS BORN WHITE. So joking about la raza is a little weird. And unacceptable.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And "octoroon" and "pimp daddy"? Seriously, readers? The South is not over catagorizing people as "high yellow" and all other such crap, and the last time I checked with my friend Carmela, who was sold into prostitution at the age of 13 to pay for her step-dad's crack habit, "pimps" aren't any too fucking funny either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1153748690581089382006-07-24T09:44:00.000-04:002006-07-24T09:44:00.000-04:00Wow, Schuyler.
