Longer John Hawkins:

Someone called me a name. Now I know exactly how a slave felt. In 1820. At noon. On a hot summer’s day. Pity me. Please.

Conservatives have been taking their pre-reparations for decades.

John Hawkins is a spoiled, self indulgent cheeto eating moron. Also a douchebag.

Apparently his book was ghost-written by Jonah Goldberg.

Ah yes, remember when the rightwingers used to lament that calling someone a racist was used by leftwingers to stifle debate?

Not a day goes by now that I don’t hear some lily white douchebag pewling about being a victim of racism.

-G

Those photo’s are only the tip of the iceberg. The Chicago History Museum had a photo exhibit on lynchings. They were some absolutely horrible, graphic photos depicting shit that you’d never imagine.

Fuck you, John Hawkins. No, really, just fuck you. You are a sniveling, puling, whiny, disgusting, quivering mass of gelatinous goo who needs to grow up or STFU.

FUCK YOU.

Did they learn nothing from l’affaire Hoekstra?

Intellectual shut-ins, everyone of them.

What did John say or do thats considered racist besides making a dumb racist comment?

…Except when they’re whinging about “religious persecution.”

Who is John Hawkins?

The great thing about Preparation-R is that you truly can pull it out of your ass.

I live in the South. There’s a little “family owned”business here that’s proudly racist. There’s a “White History Year” sign on the front door of the place and lynching photos and other”memorabilia” are prominently displayed and easily visible through the front windows. Recently the owner of this shop recieved a civic award for his civil war reinactment camp for(white,male only)kids. Everyone knows the place is a front for KKK/skinhead types and no one bats an eyelash. The place is smack in the middle of the newly rennovated “historic district”.

Here’s a hint for Hawkins: You don’t have to worry about being called a racist if you aren’t a fucking racist. I’ve lived 50 yrs and no one has ever even hinted I was racist. Wonder why that is?….

I can’t wait until conservatives start demanding reparations.

You really shouldn’t put ideas in their heads.

A Mom: OK, gotta ask, WHERE is this place? I want to make sure I never visit!

Believe it or not,it’s in the suburbs of Metro Atlanta. No one would visit here for a vacation or anything,since urban sprawl took over,there’s not much worth visiting for. I’m not a native,I moved here 25 yrs ago for a job,I’ve lived in this particular place for about 15 yrs. I remember the first time I saw this place,it was total culture shock and complete horror. I’m from Ohio,and we have our own rednecks and fucked up history there,but this was the first time I’d ever seen such overt and accepted racism up close.

There are plenty of overt racists around Atlanta (and plenty in other areas, too), despite a fairly urban atmosphere. Drive a little out of town and you drive back into history. Nasty, brutish history. But thank dog not everyone is like that.

growing up in the 60s, watching the marches on TV, MLK’s speeches and the assassination coverage, my mother would say “the south is uncivilized.” Such an understated way to put it.

Your mother did understate it. It’s the US that’s uncivilized.

See? What JDM3 does is harder than it looks.

Hawkins is writing anti-birther posts at Right Wing News. Heh. Good luck with that!

According to the commentors, all liberals are racists.

I can’t wait until conservatives start demanding reparations.

They are already demanding affirmative action.

As disgusting and shameful as those pictures are, there are still many people here in the south who would wonder what the problem is with them.

I live in the south too. The most overtly racist thing I’ve seen is a house that’s on an access road to one of the Civil War National Battlefields around here. Signs all over it of the Confederate Flag and Yosemite Sam saying “Lee Surrendered, I didn’t” oeuvre. Lots of homemade stuff informing passersby that they are his guests at the National Park so if they don’t like his dogs running loose on public property they can STFU and go home (and if nobody can make you take a sign claiming ownership of public lands down because the sign is posted on private property, that makes it true!) The funny thing is, the owner is only second generation American. It’s kinda weird.

The second most racist thing I’ve seen was a bumper sticker on my MIL’s car that said “RACIST: a Conservative who’s winning an argument with a Liberal” which she thought meant that she was saying that the only way a conservative could think they were winning an argument was if the conservative was a racist. Could not be convinced otherwise. So that was kinda weird, too.

The really pernicious stuff I’ve seen isn’t the overt, unabashed (or accidental) expressions of racism, it’s the racism as background noise. Not all poor people are black – not by a long shot – but around here black people tend to be poorer, and that’s just accepted, to the point where black people who aren’t poor are challenged to explain how they got to be middle class.

The worst part was when they called Hawkins “boy” and beat him for looking at a black woman.

Ah yes. I remember it well. John Hawkins refusing to sit in the back of the bus. And how about the time John Hawkins drank from the “whites only” water fountain? So moving, so moving. Oh, and of course who can forget John Hawkins’ “I have a dream” speech?

John Hawkins, you’re heroic fight for civil rights and equality humbles us all. How can we ever thank you?

Ooooh, I know. Let’s elect a Black guy President! I’m sure you’re on board with that, right?

Oh, I know. I shot my entire wad on the last post, and I was just tired by the time I read this asshat. I don’t know how JDM3 does it day after day after day. That is why he’s the master.

I wouldn’t post Hawkins’ motherfucking addy even if I thought it would encourage Michelle MalKKKin to ring his doorbell, rim him and then leave a flaming paper bag fulla dogshit on his fucking front steps:

Where do you live now?
On the Carolina Coast. I don’t give out any more details than necessary. It helps keep liberal bloggers from posting my address and phone number in hopes that their readers will harass me.

Sides, wtf besides a loser like her would go outa the way to visit a trailer park in fucking South KKKarolina? Geez, he’s down with some pretty cool peeps:

What an ugly, odd little man. Looks like he lives in a dead person’s rotting asshole. I wouldn’t even bother calling him a racist. Or calling him ever fer anyfuckingthing. I’m going back to watching the Biblical channels now. Motherfucking shitbard asswipe turd burglar. Fat n’ ugly to boot.

A Mom: Ah, OK, I wondered. I moved to Northern VA from Ohio 20+ years ago. Not as big a culture shock except for everything under the sun here is named “Lee” or “Jackson.” Of course, if I drive a few miles south or west I start hitting the confederate flags. I’d love to get a bumper sticker with the Stars n’ Bars that reads “Its Heritage IS Hate!” but I really don’t want to get my car keyed that often or be shot at on the road if I drive south of Fairfax County…

PS Ya wanna see some strange fucking fruit of the republiKKKan Tree O’ Life And Motherfucking Equality, check the huggy pics of Hawkeye No Known Address Hawkins and Iron Mike “Shit In My Mouth, Yeah, Again, Again” Steele.

I just got back from checking out that shot. I could almost see the thought balloon over John’s head: “Ewww, the Black guy is touching me. And he smells. Also.”

Whats with the wattle under his neck? Many guys get a beer belly. This turd looks like he has a beer chin! And why did I feel compelled to click on JDM’s link anyway?

HotrepublKKanChix, though.

PTBarnum. “This way to the Egress.”

Irressitably amreriKKKan.

Whats with the wattle under his neck? Many guys get a beer belly. This [guy] looks like he has a beer chin!

I keep thinking he’s someone with some sort of mental disability, and not just because of his opinions!

By their chins ye shall know them.

In another time, in another era, this might qualify as the stupidest thing ever written. But in this time, in this epoch of wingnuttia, this is par for the course.

No one–and I mean no one–is as stupid as a wingnut.

I’m sure all of John Hawkins’ thousands of black friends think he’s A-1 top rate.

There’s nothing like Fear of A Black President(TM) to flush out the closet racists.

Q: What’s on your iPod right now?
J.H.: 3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Snoop Dogg — a little of this, a little of that. I like just about everything from rap to country to classical music in small doses.

this can’t be for reals?! Whattafuckindouchebag.

Wow, that Blogometer article is amazing. It’s syrup of Ipecac for the soul.

There you are, ladies and gentlemen, the man who brought us the “spare tire chin” is Nickelback’s target audience. This is also illuminating:

Who’s your favorite non-conservative blogger?
Glenn Reynolds, with Mickey Kaus, Ann Althouse, & Megan McArdle also in the mix.

John Hawkins, a man (I’m using the term loosely) who respects the entire political spectrum, all the way from David Duke to Glenn Reynolds..

Arrgh. dbati is 2 minutes faster than me..

The wingers’ hostile divorce from irony leads them to over look the comic aspects of a bunch of overweight, syphilitic-piss-drinking asshats with more chins than a Chinese phonebook going on about oppression and revolution and sticking it to da man. I’ll give them this much though: they have done a remarkable job of rounding up people who can type with the GOP’s dick in their mouths.

I was thinking the same thing. I may have no life, but at least I don’t know who John Hawkins is. (sorry this was a reply to warrenterra).

Okay, so it’s maybe just me, but I can’t help but think that if these yahoos think that being called out for their own racism is in any conceivable way equivalent to being firehosed or maced or attacked by dogs or lynched, maybe they need a quick crash refresher course in what those things actually FEEL like.

From, y’know, the side that’d never happen to them because they’re white men.

See, it’s that ‘empathy’ thing they hate soo much.

He’s discriminated against by smartsists AND looksists.

He’s discriminated against by smartsists AND looksists.

Tigerismus, don’t ferget musicists. He listens to Nickleback fer fuck’s sake.

Yep, you’ve got that right!

Shorter John Hawkins:
Stop calling me Porkins.

I’m reminded of Alberto Gonzales claiming that he, too, was a victim of the war on terror. Always the victims.

Especially Dr. Melissa Clouthier and Cassy Fiano.

I wonder if Dr. Melissa is one of those wingnuts who think Obama’s nominee for Surgeon General is too fat?

I pity the fool…
(!)

OMG you’re right! Just like Our Lord and Savior, Fugly Moron Tasteless Jesus!

Late getting here, but that’s a brilliant title, T.

more chins than a Chinese phonebook

Now that’s funny.

As to the article in question: isn’t this why we call it the “white man’s burden”?

The horror, the horror.
