Racial profiling in the media.
I know that media people say that they are impartial and try to view the world through glasses of a uniform color. They make the claim that all people are equal in the eyes of the media. Really? Then explain to me, please, why is is that every time you people have a story about a new robot or computer system there is always a side story that has an asian kid saying how impressive it is? That has gotta be racial profiling, does it not. 'Yes Phil, I am reporting from the electronics expo and, oh hey here is a conveniently placed asian guy'. Gimme a break, just because they invent most of the advanced electronics on the market, you think that all of them are gonna be experts on science, that is wrong. I would be careful too there mr. media man, you could offend one of them one day and you'ld get a good old butt kicking, after all, pretty much every asian on the planet knows some form of karate, it's common knowledge. Did you ever notice that, if the media covers a drunken brawl, there is always an Irish guy in the background, swigging out of a bottle of Jameson and yelling about his pot-o-gold or whistling a song about soap. Okay mabye that doesn't always happen but the media would like you to think that leprechauns are magic wand wielding, rainbow riding, suger crazed, twinkle fairies, definition, penis waving, homosexual, cocaine using, twinkle fairies and we all know that this only covers half of the leprechaun society. The other half, being violent maniacs who kill anyone who has touched taken their gold. What about the media acting like so many black people are drug dealers? We all know that that is the Cubans. Look at the TV show cops, I am white and have committed a few crimes but I have always worn a shirt throughout every caper. Then you get those commercials that make you think that tuna fish want to be eaten and that they are disappointed when they don't get selected. It is wrong to racialy profile, they know it but they do it anyway, gotta keep the audience rivetted, give the punters what they want but first tell them what they need to believe. I am off now to get some food at this middle eastern buffet down town, hope the place doesn't smell to much like camel, I geuss I could always wrap one of their towels around my face though.

Are you saying there is no master race? Because I have a time capsule that can only be opened with the "key of the master race" and I'm not sure what that means, or the key to the city. Or I can just wait until Christmas, because, it also says, "do not open until Christmas". And if I do open it at Christmas, do you think that people will get the wrong idea? Because I don't want people to think I believe in Satan. Well, I believe that he exists, but I don't think he goes around handing out toys.
Anyway, I think they should just sort out this whole master race issue once and for all. My money is on everybody with Down Syndrome. When you think about it , it makes perfect sense. They can come from within any genetic background, yet they all look similar. I know that seems racist but it's true. Plus, they have more chromosomes than you do.
They are using every supposed race as breeding stock. What are they up to? So far they seem to be benevolent. I hope through racial profiling and focused misinformation we can keep it that way.
on the topic of racial profiling i have a few personal preferences, and those of you that know me know that i am not going to beat around the inept president when it comes to expressing my views. so here it goes.
is it good or appropriate? i say yes, not only is it appropriate it sometimes is neccessary. if you feel the need to call me a racist feel free you won't be the first, but i'm not a racist i hate everyone equally. the neccessity of racial profiling falls into one basic theory, if you look the part you should be profiled. who would rather have airport security check out, an 85 yeay old grandmother whos dental work and leg breces set off the metal detector, or muhammed bin alla fkljas;klgob, with an unusual bulge in his fanny pack? we as a society need to stop worring about pissing people off and placating to everybodys need to not be offended, LIFE IS OFFENSIVE. you don't like being checked out at the airport stay the fuck home. that should be our new motto in this country. "I was interrogated py police because a suspect and I look alike, the cops are being racist." if you don't like being interrogated for things stay the fuck home. "I was at Denny's today and I was offended by vulgar language that I heard" if you don't like foul language stay the fuck home. "I was offended by a joke I overheard on the bus by someone who wasn't even talking to me." if you can't keep your nose out of other people's business, stay the fuck home.
it is a simple concept, and a neccessary one, and if one day there is a rash of nefarious indignations involving a 6'1" white guy with tattoos, a bald head and 3/4" plugs in his ears well pick me up, and i won't even call it profiling.
here's a scinario for ya. let's say a skinny black guy with a wife beater and baggy pants holds up a liquor store, and the cops bring in a 300lb asian with a sweater vest on trere may be some racial issues there, either that or those cops need to be fitted with a super man costume. (see joe's blog a few entries back, it's about making money.) the point is that we live in a society where we need to piss of a few to serve the needs of the many. and if you are the type who are offended eaisly, well first off you probally came upon this site by accident, and secondly calm the fuck down. the world is not and should not have to cater to your foibles and disingenuious naturs, if you don't like something, then don't expose yourself to it, don't be there if you can at all help it, and for fucks sake quit evesdropping on peoples conversations, you get offended by a joke or phease that's not even aimed at you. in other words mind your own buisness, do that and maybe i'll hate everyone a lot less.
Marty, you make some good points but you say you hate everyone equally, then you champion the rights of the many. Everybody knows that most people don't deserve rights.
What about your own rights? What about my rights? The way I see it nobody has any rights, but I want some. Instead of championing the rights of the people you hate, do some campaigning on my behalf.
By the way, I do spend a lot of time at home. People suck.
