Guns & The Bible: A Very Short Commentary

Anyone who knows me, either personally or on social media, know that I was recently suspended from Twitter for a full week for calling Tomi Lahren a cunt. I was previously suspended for one day for calling her white trash. The irony, of course, is that Lahren and her cultish following have embraced the term "snowflakes" for anyone they deem to be weak or fragile, not able to handle criticism, or as they refer to it as truths. In my time back, there have been three mass shootings, and the race-baiting, blonde xenophobe has taken to calling out everyone who questions American citizens' rights to be locked and loaded at all times. She's also thrown out that the reason is that there isn't enough prayer in school.

Prayer and Guns. Nothing says modern-day America for inbred, ignorant white people than the Bible and an AR-15. Somehow, in our warped society, the ownership of military-grade weaponry is viewed, as Lahren put it, as a human right. Not a constitutional or legal right, but a human right. As if the gun is an extension of God's will to allow us to kill anyone who questions our devout faith in freedom. A freedom which apparently God can't grant us herself, but an assault rifle can. Omnipotence, be damned. Now it's no secret that American Christianity is just about the furthest thing from actual Christianity as it is written, but those are semantics in this FOX News culture, where everything that isn't based in white supremacy and nationality is viewed as a war. Again, the irony is, these same white folk who use the war narrative, are terrified by their misunderstanding of Islam's jihad. Which, unlike their Bible, is actually retold in the Qur'an. Faith and war is nothing new, because God, well she has a suck little sense of humor. I mean, who doesn't cast out angels before creating everything holy and pure? Also, who would ever follow a religion where evil preceded good? Billy Bob and Mary Sue, that's who.

I have read the Bible, studied it, and even taught some about their own faith, but for the life of me, I don't recall the part where Jesus rides in on the back of a Ford Ram, guns-a-blazing, waving a Confederate Flag, ready to create judgment day for all those who don't believe he's the whitest thing since sliced bread.As absolutely ludicrous as that las sentence sounded, this is just about where we are in 2019, and all you non-believers, or people of color, Jews, women, LGBTQ, or anyone else who doesn't conform to some insane translation of the Bible and our Constitution, better beware. Sadly, that's not a joke, as the bullseyes have been on our backs for a while now and the closer these hayseeds come to being a minority, the scarier it will get.

WWJD?
Love everyone and have faith, just remember, to keep it locked and loaded.

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
