Race and the PC Nazis: The Case of Dusty Baker -  A person of color (redneck) looks at  racism in America

The Booda Speaks...

 

On Race: "...watch close when any Republican is asked about a race issue. Poor shit bastard is apt to look more nervous than a long tailed cat in a roomful of rockin’ chairs." 

 

On Animal Rights:  "I've always been for animal rights, and have always supported their right to be brutally murdered, deep fried and slapped on a supper plate. Bunny rabbit stew has always been a favorite round these parts, though not quite as satisfyin'  as a nice, savory leg o' mule."    

 

On Duality: "There is no Free Will vs. Determinism. There is free will and determinism; free will wrapped inside a deterministic bubble.  The ultimate end is known. The means to that end are not. This is life."

 

Race and the PC Nazis: The Case of Dusty Baker

By Bubba Bob Booda

 

Dusty Baker is a person of color. ‘Person of color’ is an accepted term in these politically correct days of splendor and delirium. Just be sure and remember to keep your word order correct, because the term ‘colored person’ will get you in a whole heap o’ smoldering mule fuel.  Being a redneck, I too am a person of color, and know only too well the ugly sting of ethnic prejudice.  

 

Anyway, this person of color (dark brown to be more precise) by the name of Dusty is accused of being a racist towards other persons of color, namely fellow African Americans and Hispanics.  (Just in case you don’t know, Dusty is the manager of the Chicago Cubs. Before that he managed the San Francisco Giants for ten years, winning three Manager of the Year awards). Dusty is known as a ‘players manager’, a guy who has a personal connection with his players.  This includes black players, Hispanic players, Asian players, redneck players and even white folk. In all his years in Major League Baseball, including more than a decade as a player, nobody ever had the slightest notion that Dusty was a dangerous racist. 

 

I say “dangerous” because that’s what UPI’s Kim Gambrell said about what Dusty said. What Dusty said was that his black and Hispanic players could handle the heat better than his white players. Racist pig! Where’s your hood, you Southern fried Uncle Tom!  Gambrel went on to say that there was no scientific basis for Dusty’s racist statement. Huh?

 

But Gambrell was not the only one to utter this nonsense; I heard it several times on several cable news shows. And not once, not once did one of these chickenshit hosts—Bill O’Reilly in the case of Miss Gambrell—say “What do you mean there is no scientific basis, of course there is, it’s a little thing we like to call—evolution! Why do you think blacks are black, because of all that snow in equatorial Africa?” How about them deep dark southern Indians, is there an Ice Age going on in Tamil Nadu I haven't heard about?

 

That’s right folks, as fantastic as it may seem, dark skin, dark hair and dark eyes are a nature’s answer to—HEAT!  So it only makes sense then, that iffin’ it’s time to run a marathon and it’s hotter than a June bride’s panties in a pepper patch, best bet the pig farm on the feller from Kenya! Now I ask you, is this racism or just a bit of good old fashioned sports betting?  

 

Racism really shouldn’t exist anyway, hell, we was all colored once! That’s right Cletus, once upon a time your family tree was an Acacia on the Serengeti. When our ancestors made their way out of ole Africa and finally trudged up to cooler climates where there was less sustained heat and UV radiation, their skin tones gradually lightened. It took about 20,000 years to make the complete transition from black to white, with various shades in between. Only Michael Jackson can do it in less time.

 

In other words, if you took a group of blacks from Africa and moved them to say, Sweden, and kept them from having sex outside their group for 20,000 years, they’d end up white as a Pat Boone Christmas.        

 

It’s people like Miss Gambrell who are the real danger. They’re the next generation of Nazis—the PC Nazis—and it’s news anchors, cable news hosts and other elite media types who are their collaborators. And just like the French who collaborated with the Germans during WWII, they oughta bear the shame of having their heads shaved and marched through the streets so that everybody knows who they are.     

 

If Dusty Baker is a dangerous racist than I’m a pretty ballerina. All 309, finely tuned pounds of me. All Dusty did was speak the obvious: blacks and Hispanics in the Major Leagues, due to their evolutionary advantages and often the environments they grew up in, are generally better suited to play in the heat. Dusty took a lot of PC Nazi heat for his remarks, but because he was black he could handle it better. And he got to keep his job. Point is any allegations of racism should never have been raised at all. God forbid a white manager utter such a simple observation, because the PC Nazis will hang the poor bastard from the right field foul pole quicker n’ spit fries on a griddle.   

 

Bill O’Reilly called Dusty’s remarks “foolish”. But why was they foolish, Mister O?  Because they was incorrect, or because he should have known he’d incur the wrath of the PC Nazi’s? Clearly the answer is the last one, and part of the reason is because of cowardly Talking Head collaborators who live in fear of their jobs if they ever dared to face down witch hunting witches like Miss Gambrell.    

 

And isn’t it funny how the PC Nazi’s seem to almost exclusively inhabit the left side of the political dial? Ain’t if funny how they always manage to look the other way when one of their own expresses racism, real racism? 

Case in point, California gubernatorial candidate Cruz Bustamonte. A devout liberal, Mr. Bustamonte used the nigger word not once, but twice in a 2003 speech before a group of African American persons of color, and not a word of complaint or a single demand for his resignation was uttered.

 

Compare that to the case of that useless slug named Trent Lott. Lott made only an allusion to racism open to interpretation by telling a former segregationist senator on his 100th birthday that the country might be better off if he would have been elected president way back in 1948. And for this he gets branded a racist and relentlessly pulverized in the media for weeks before being forced to resign his senate leadership post. This is nothing less than race based McCarthyism, and it stinks worse than a fresh turned sewer skunk on a compost heap.  

 

Something needs doin’ about this craziness before the PC Nazis on the left has us all fitted for ‘moral’ straightjackets worse than the Puritans on the far right ever could. The deluded power of the left has the right cowering like a whooped pup just shit on the shag. And its plumb pathetic is what it is.

 

At the risk of over-metaphor’n, just watch close when any Republican office holder is asked about a race issue. Poor shit bastard is apt to look more nervous than a long tailed cat in a roomful of rockin’ chairs.  Not because he’s racist, but because he knows that anything he says—like being against the reverse racism of “affirmative action”, or thinking OJ was guilty, or thinking Michael Jackson (formerly a person of color) just might be a pedophile, or pointing out the hypocrisy of race racketeers like Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan et al—will get him labeled as a racist.   

 

But this bendin’ over and spreadin’ the cheeks to the PC Nazis has got to end.  What all level headed folk needs to do is stand up and call a spade a spade. It’s the race racketeers and their PC Nazi stooges that are the real racists, out drummin’ up business. Most folks these days don’t have a real racist bone in their bodies. The good aspects of true liberalism, a faint memory now, won the day a long time ago, and now it’s a perverted form that that threatens to create a backlash that could ruin it all.

 

If race is not supposed to matter, then why is everybody on the left always goin’ out of their way to point to it? Why does every measure to end matters of race get opposed by the left? What kind of logic says that discrimination against one group to advantage another group will lead to the end of discrimination? Any dumb ass mule can see that those discriminated against will resent it and that it will lead to them discriminatin’ in the future. Two wrongs don’t make a right, even if three lefts do.

 

Race preferences hurt everyone. It is a perpetuation to the problem under the guise of a solution. Want a solution? Want a level playing field? Level the damn education system so that inner city schools get the same “quality” education as suburban schools. 

 

As long as the race card pays to play, then politicians, especially democrats, have a vested interest in keeping racism alive. Their  “solutions” have nothing to do with ever solving the problem, but in perpetuating it as an issue they can continue to exploit. The democrats rely on the ignorance of the poor; without ignorance they are powerless.

 

But it’s the moron populace who believes all the bullshit that’s ultimately to blame. They by sheer numbers hold the power, only they is too moronic to realize it. Welcome to the tragic story of man on earth.

 

If calling Dusty Baker a racist doesn’t show you just how out to lunch the left has become, then you must be left out to lunch yourself. 

 

And as long as yer out… Order me up a plate of Bud-fried okra smothered in cheeseburgers, will yuh?

THE HEE HAW THEORY

 

What we think and believe inside our tiny little minds ain’t shit on a tick’s ass. The human brain was designed in good measure as an open tuning device, a kick-ass CB with thousands upon thousands of available frequencies, with a bit of memory built in. But we’ve become our own worst enemy in two basic ways: first by taking these freakish free tuning devices and sticking Restrictor Plates on ‘em, which in turn force a mental back-up of a type of memory I call SMM, or Selected Malleable Memory, which is the real root of all evil.

 

Now, these Restrictor Plates take many forms and come piece by piece, some of the most prominent by way of dip-shit teachers, preachers, politicians and Talking TV Heads, who have all been pre-programmed into “experts” at the Dipshit Factory.  The only thing they is expert at is getting us to believe in going along with their narrow little solutions to the growing problems that their previous narrow little solutions made into growing problems in the first place! And worse, in getting us to defer to their supposed expertise and to give up figuring things out for ourselves, which is tantamount to volunteer robotism.   And then we go robotin’ the same shit them “experts” done roboted at us back to each other like it was the goddamn gospel!  The robot gospel is what it is, “Danger Will Robinson, Danger!” This is how formerly open minds narrow and eventually, close up tighter’n a banker’s back orifice.

 

Now I know what your saying, “Hell, I don’t believe a damn word they tell me!” Not true. With such an aerial bombardment we can’t help but be covered in shit, I don’t care if you are walking around with your goddamn patio table umbrella over your head. Now, some of the shit sticks and some of it don’t, but what does we marry ourselves to like a 14-year old cousin.  In a universe full of infinite frequencies, most of us “sophisticated” humans have done lost the remote, and are effectively stuck tuned to the titillating, worn denim vacuity of the Hee-Haw channel.

 

BRAIN BOXING

 

There is a lot of talk these days, mostly in business and business advertising borrowing from a quantum mechanical vernacular, about ‘paradigm shifts’ and ‘thinking out of the box’.  Muleshit. These Slick-Dicks may think they’re thinking outside the box, when the reality is they’re only thinking in a different part of the box, or in rare cases, in a box pushing out at the seams. What they and we need to do, is learn to think without the damn box, to eliminate the box completely.  The only way I know how to do that is to NOT think at all, to get my useless, judgmental, bitchin’ and moanin’ steer-brain the hell out of the way so’s I can pick up the clear signals streaming in from the highways and byways of ole Infinity.  It ain’t easy, but it can be done, is done, and has been done countless times. You just ask old Einstein or young Hawking or my cousin Earl (the inventor of the pig fart [methane] fueled still) ‘bout that. The more people that do it the easier it’ll get, impregnating the ether (see Rupert Sheldrake’s ‘Morphic Resonance’) with broader, more available frequency bands.  I know this sounds like so much crap to most Box-Brains, and all I can say to them is that it only sounds like crap because they’re still thinking inside their same crappy old box. Further, if they really did want to shift their damn paradigms instead of just wearing the word around like a fraternity pin, they’d push in the clutch and pull the damn stick out of their asses. Shifting is so much easier that way. Less painful too, I’d imagine.

Where my loyal legions seek wisdom...

 

Dear Booda,

 

I’m a cattle rancher in Colorado. Over the years me and some neighbors have had dozens of head of cattle mysteriously mutilated. Organs surgically removed, bodies drained utterly of blood, no signs of human intrusion whatsoever. Frankly, it scares the holy living hell out of us. Who, or what is doing this?

 

Jake Harwell

Dear Jake,

 

Hmm, no signs of human intrusion huh? You know, it could be a renegade steer, a real Angus the Ripper done snuck off to medical school without you noticing.  Either that or its aliens from another world, like them strange PETA creatures out trying to drum up business.  I suppose it could be real aliens from another planet, but since the government says they don’t exist that’s impossible. As you well know Jake, the government never lies or covers anything up.  I don't have an answer for you, but if you'll go ahead and send me a side or two of that there mystery beef, I'll conduct some extensive gastronomical lab tests for you.

Dear Booda,

 

The world is getting crazier every day. People are calling Donald Rumsfeld “Dr. Strangelove”.  My wife is a Mayan Guatemalan, and she says her calendar stops at 2012. I’m a big Pat Robertson fan, and everyday on the 700 Club he’s talking about the Middle East situation. He says the Bible prophecy of the Tribulation is just around the corner. I’m saved and all, but still very frightened. My brother says all this end of the world stuff is just a bunch of Chicken Little nonsense. Who’s right, reverend Robertson and my wife, or my brother?

Dear Jim,

 

If you’re a big Pat Robertson fan, the only thing you’re saved from is good taste and common sense.  That being said, the Mayan calendar does indeed end in Roman 2012.  (Worse, my Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar ends in 2003). Hopi and Tibetan prophecy both get a little melodramatic about 2012 as well. It’s also true that global upheavals, and mini-mass extinctions--you can call ‘em Tribulations if you want—seem to happen about every 10,000 years.  The last one happened about 10,000 years ago and brought a sudden end to the last Ice Age.  7 out of 10 biologists (along with 4 out 5 dentists) agree that the earth is presently in an accelerated mass extinction phase. In addition, the earth's magnetic field looks like its gettin' ready for another reversal. You do the arithmetic.           

 

Sincerely,

The Booda

 

 

Dear Booda,

 

Now I don’t mean to be a stick in the mud, but I was a little teed off over your disrespect towards the great legacy of HEE HAW in your recent column, The Hee Haw Theory.  Tell me sir, why on God’s green acre would you suggest that being stuck on the HEE HAW channel would in any way present a problem?  Are you suggesting the fine, loyal fans of HEE HAW are somehow mentally deficient? I’ll have you know, I spent many a fine year at HEE HAW looking up the very "denim vacuity” you look down on, and was never at a loss for mental stimulation, let me tell you.  I suggest you brush up on your HEE HAW facts before popping off in such thoughtless manner, and you can do that at my website: www.roy-clark.com.  I’ll be touring through Texas soon, so why don’t you stop on by and say your howdy-do’s. I’ll be more than happy to introduce you to the business end of my banjo.  I disrespectfully suggest, dear Booda, that you find another show to name your ridiculous theory after. Perhaps The Beverly Hillbillies would make a better target.  Don’t make me sue you, boy.

 

Sincerely, Roy Clark

 

 

Dear Roy,

 

Thanks for your kind letter. What strikes me most is that your banjo seems to have a “business end”.  This confirms another theory of mine, that you are and always have been an inveterate butt picker.  As to the Hee Haw Theory, your failure to appreciate the full extent of its high falutin’ philosophical brilliance, as demonstrated by your suggestion that I rename it after The Beverly Hillbillies, only further supports my theory. 

 

The Beverly Hillbillies, as intelligent people well know, was and is one of the great social satires of our time. Never before or since have in-depth issues of class struggle and Proletarian ideals been more accessible to the masses.  

 

Granny, may she rest in peace, had more gumption and country wisdom than the entire cast of your show combined. Her medical knowledge shamed Marcus Welby into early retirement, and makes the ER staff look like a bunch of Amazonian witch doctors. Uncle Jed was no less than a thinly veiled, down-home cross ‘twixt Gurdjeff and Rodin. The man could wax eloquent on the Duality of Man while whittling a Civil War relief out of Popsicle stick. His deft jabs into the upturned nose of the neo-riche were a tribute to the common man, and further, an infusion of pride and determination into the collective arm of the downtrodden.  Why, even Jethro’s cypherin’ skills, a humorous but pointed condemnation of the Bugtussle Education System, said more with 2+2=5 than Junior Samples entire repertoire of hambonin’ and corn-pig jokes.  Now, I’ll admit that Barbi Benton has aged a lot better than Ellie May Clampet, but at the time they was pretty much a toss-up. Ellie May, in her Dolittlian genius with the animals, not only embraced Buddhist principles of love and respect for all sentient beings, but kick-started the animal rights movement, a movement since hijacked and subverted by them leftist neo-hippie nut-jobs over at PETA.  

 

I for one have always been for animal rights, and have always supported their right to be brutally murdered, deep fried and slapped on a supper plate.  Bunny rabbit stew has always been a favorite around these parts, though not quite as satisfyin'  as a nice, savory leg of mule.    

 

I appreciate your concern Roy, however misplaced.  I kindly suggest that you stick to what you know best though, squawkin’ them lame lyrics and double pickin’ your axe.
