American Racism’s last stand

The mentality is so “mid-20th century” to me, I sort of forget these people are out there. And while they will never go away completely, it seems time for these morons to sound off on the President-elect. From Yahoo News to Nightline, white power fools come crawling out of the woodwork. Part of it definitely is media fear mongering and desperation for a story. Two hilarious points about the yahoo news blurb: the mention of GA three times, and the Mt. Desert Island bit - I can assure you there are no more than 20 black people anywhere near Mt. Desert Island.
These people must be really scared. Most urban centers are set to go white minority very soon, if they have not already. But I suppose some rural areas will stay white majority for a very long time, and these fools can share their absurd theories along with their inbreeding. That part cracks me up too, how they don’t even carry some Nordic/Aryan ideal of white anymore - they guy in the Nightline video has the classic redneck jaw/mouth thing going on. Some muts are OK and some aren’t I guess.

Not Made in China

I’ve added a new “crafty” link in the blogroll, made up mostly of Flickr contacts who make things. There is some crossover with the what possibly should be in the category “visual art” but hopefully there has been no offense given. I want to give a special shoutout to the new Athens based Hand Crafted Industries, who’s birdhouses always remind me of this clip.

And mention tomorrow I’ll be tending concessions at the Winter I.C.E. Atlanta event for I believe my third year now, good fun.

Count Dante

You might look at this ad from a mid-70’s Marvel comic and think “what bullshit, what a scam”. While I can’t stand by his business practices, Count Juan Raphael Dante was real.

Deadliest Man alive

Floyd Webb is making a film about John Keene AKA Count Dante and you can follow the progress through his blog. Dojo wars, bleeding ulcers and comic book advertising: a very 70’s story.

United States elects first black president!

And he has a heck of a job to do: restarting the economy, repairing the US image in the world view, continuing to battle against those who wish to see America destroyed. But many of us are exited by the change he brings and embrace the return to true leadership!
