It’s “black history month.” So what? I’m not black; I don’t care. In fairness, I’ve never cared about any of these ethnocentric “celebrate diversity” kinds of garbage divisions Democrats try to cram down our throats, mostly because I celebrate accomplishments, not irrelevant characteristics over which no one has any control. I’m old school; I prefer to judge people based on who they are as people, not their melanin levels. It’s why I would’ve made a horrible Democrat at any time in their history.
I will say, however, that this black history month, I have learned a lot of new things about black people in general, and black women in specific, that I didn’t know before.
For example, I didn’t realize black people serve as cash repositories. I just assumed they used insulation in their walls like everyone else did to aid in household climate control. Thanks to Fani Willis, it’s worth $20 bills.
The rotund love machine currently serving as a District Attorney and concubine wrangler (the male version of a concubine) in Fulton County, Georgia, educated me on so many things this week, including the new fact that black people operate almost exclusively in cash. This fact was kept so secret from white people that my black friends didn’t even know it, meaning they were either kept out of the circle of trust because they were friends with white people or they were lying because they were still keeping the secret.
Either way, I’ll have to find out how much my black neighbors charge for withdrawal fees; if they’re low enough, I may never go to an ATM again.
Fani, who the liberal media now pronounces “Fawnie” so as to avoid any confusion involving her and what she gave up to her concubinus, not only educated me on black people can the wads and wads of cash they apparently operate in, which may well make up a big part of what liberals tell us is the racist wage gap – cash is, as we saw in Fani’s paying for lavish vacations, untraceable – she also educated me on the hardships black women face in positions of authority and power.
Both the Associated Press and the New York Times ran pieces about how her banging her subordinate is common among black women. Maybe that wasn’t their intention, but what other conclusion could be drawn from the AP headline reading, “Fani Willis’ testimony evokes long-standing frustrations for Black women leaders,” or this offering from the Times, “Why the Case Against Fani Willis Feels Familiar to Black Women.”
I didn’t realize how hard it was not to sleep with people under your authority in a professional setting or how the liberal media educated me into realizing how it’s doubly difficult for black women. Seems racist, but these are the arbiters of what is and isn’t racist, so it can’t be, right?
What I find curious, and I say this as a white guy just applying logic, so it might not have any bearing on the liberal mindset, is how what Fani did is different from what they accused Clarence Thomas of doing.
Democrats hate Justice Thomas because he refused to obey them – he won’t be wrangled to the progressive thought plantation. But they pretend that hatred is based on “sexual harassment” because he allegedly once asked out an ugly chick who worked for him, and when she said no, he didn’t fire her or even make her uncomfortable enough NOT to follow him to other jobs. Horrible, right? But we all know it’s because that black man won’t conform.
Anyway, he’s since been portrayed as a monster because, as boss, he dropped a couple of joke grenades that made the joyless Anita Hill uncomfortable when they went off a decade or so later.
That’s why I found it odd when Fani made it cool to sleep with someone whose high-paying job depends on you. I was reliably assured sexual harassment was about the “power discrepancy” between boss and subordinate and that that differential couldn’t be waived because consent can’t willingly be given (unless it’s between a President of the United States and an intern, then it’s OK).
I didn’t learn this because the left came to this realization; it learned this because there are only two options for Fani and her conquest: She either hired her lover, which would be problematic because he had zero experience in RICO law and she paid him $100 more per hour, or almost $200,000 more per year, than anyone else she hired for the case, or she hired him with no experience, paying him more BECAUSE she wanted to screw him, which she set about doing in short order after his hiring. So it’s corruption or sexual harassment. Either way, office sex is cool again! And Clarence Thomas, who wasn’t even accused of anything remotely close to what Fani did, is the hero he deserves to be now?
Not so much.
Newsweek ran a piece of garbage column by someone called Ameshia Cross, a talentless Democrat lapdog whose writing shows she never occupies the same zip code as original or interesting thought, entitled, “Clarence Thomas Is Not a Black Hero—He's an Enemy of Black People.” Again, his real “sin” has nothing to do with sexual harassment, which is cool now (apparently), but with thinking. The column is written with all the intelligence of a 15-year-old huffing model glue while chugging Red Bull and vodka, so it’s not worth taking seriously in the body, but it is indicative of the real problem on the left. Not black people on the left, all people on the left that just so happens to be exemplified in black history month. It’s the accomplishment is not celebrated, existence is.
Clarence Thomas is an accomplished man who happens to be black, and Fani Willis is a black woman who views that as an accomplishment (and a weapon, when useful). One is demonized by “progressives,” and the other is celebrated and defended, no matter how deep and obvious her corruption. It’s gross, and I’m not about to “celebrate” anything related to a political movement that will do that for a month or even one second.
So, I’m gonna pass on “black history month” and just continue to study the history of the United States that already involves plenty of black people, none of whom were tools of an either political party.
One last thought: I remember listening to Fani’s testimony and her mentioning she’d gotten divorced in 2005. I thought to myself that there was one incredibly lucky man out there somewhere, smiling proudly to himself thinking, “Whew, bullet dodged.” Then I realized that was probably racist, too…but I still didn’t care.
