Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III | 107 comments (107 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (4.00 / 5)

I didn't write it for them. I just slopped it out and it seems to have gotten a big response. I think it was the title. I didn't thin it through. I like Boo man and I hope I didn't offend you.

It is better here.

I don't know that much about blogging really. I just write quickly and hit the post button. I thought these two sites were connected or something.

If I had spent more time with it, I would have posted it here as a pieces on which I spent more time.

I was just surprised that they seemed to have banned me yet again...if that's what they did.

Oh well...

It was your mood. It was your gut. It feels authentic to me. Don't worry about the bozos who complained. It's true, and that's what counts.

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (4.00 / 6)

We're you banned over at Dkos for this diary? I wrote a comment on your diary over there quoting songs from one of my favorite Award winning prolific writers Randy Newman...he grew up in the South...Louisiana to be exact. Anyone remember any of these lyrics....."Louisiana...Louisiana..they're tryin' to wash us away..they're tryin to wash us away"- how prophetic was that lyric...and "Rednecks".."We're Red Necks..we're red necks, we don't know our ass from a hole in the ground, we're rednecks, we're rednecks...and we're keepin the niggers down" and think of the horrific photos of what happened in Alabama during the 60's, then think of this great lyric.."Birmingham, birmingham..the greatest city in Alabam..you can travel round this entire land, there ain't know place like Birmingham" and Sail Away.."In America you get food to eat, don't have to run in the Jungle and scuff up your feet, you just sing about Jesus, drink wine all day..it's great to be an American...Sail Away, Sail Away..we will cross the mighty ocean down to Charleston bay" If you have any of these or other early/auto bio songs by Randy Newman give them a listen while this nightmare continues down in the south. He nails it and he did it years ago.

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (none / 0)

Chamonix, I'd give you a 5 if they were legal just for quoting Randy Newman's great songs. I have recc'd Rednecks to so many people who are self-righteously indignant about "terrible racist Southerners", as if race isn't a problem for the entire country!

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (none / 0)

If only we had some new writers around like Randy Newman to wake up this dumb fuck country we live in. I guess a lot of rappers are doing it, but I can't get past the first two lyrics with the non melodies

What do you expect from that site ...when DHinMI writes a "Do not pick on Bush diary.... I think that pretty much sums up the mentality over there

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (4.00 / 3)

You're kidding me.

Some people just have NO sense of humor.

Or, as I replied to that asshole Lucian over at DKos yesterday after the asshole bashed my HSUS diary for caring about animals, not people (that shit again), "There's one in every crowd."

P.S. Lucian's username should be Lucifer. He's a black cloud in every diary I've ever seen him comment on. (Actually, clouds are too nice -- how about steaming pile of s__t?)

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (none / 1)

Susan, I loved that diary you did on the animals. I watched the video you linked to, on and off, all day. It was a necessary, and bright, respite in an otherwise difficult day made so much harder by comments like the ones from Lucian's.

Still haven't watched the video! Figured it'd be good if HSUS did it.

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (4.00 / 2)

That's cute ... I do get very pissy sometimes. And I was on a tear this morning. I could not sleep last night -- despite medication that regularly helps me sleep like a baby. So, I'm sleep-deprived and just so terribly, terribly upset about how avoidable so much of the death and destruction was.

And, on that diary yesterday at DKos, so many people were posting the most lovely notes and saying that they'd donated to HSUS.org. It was an example of how wonderful people can be. And, it's BY DEFAULT that everyone -- except dicks like that Lucian -- knows that animal lovers and caregivers also care deeply about people, for pete's sake. And I did include a link to the Red Cross too!

That's not the first time that that Lucian has pooped all over one of my diaries, or other people's. He's a troubled person. To put it kindly. And he should get on some good meds or get some therapy, if there are meds therapy to deal with his kind of nastiness and negativity.

Your HSUS diary was wonderful (none / 0)

I couldn't believe you got zapped for that, Susan, I didn't see it until much later. Made me so angry. . So few people know that the first convictions against child abusers were with laws against animal abuse. Or that the Humane Society regularly finds abused children where they find abused animals.

(True confessions: I've partnered with the HSUS on a preventing cruelty to animals and to kids program for younger children, aimed at teaching little kids not to grow up abusing smaller children or animals)

Frankly, animals help keep us sane, and happy. And people need that help especially when their lives are completely torn apart, like with this devastation.

You can add this from Wonkette to your perspective when it comes to how the Media treats "race issues" in its coverage of the disaster:

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (none / 0)

that link doesn't show different perspectives how the Media treats "race issues"...it shows different perspectives from different wire services...one that is right of center and one that is left-leaning.
