A comment this morning from Wolfgang Black 8:38 AM
so now people do not have the freedom of association and have to put up with customers they don't want. Seriously, you have things backwards and if you dealt with "african americans" a lot you'd quickly see how backwards you are. Question: why doesn't the law stop black colleges and business from discriminating against whites and asians?
Was in response to my post about the Green Book, and the racist south east USA.

The title of that post was probably all it took to upset Wolfgang...
the racist American southern and eastern states created a need for a travelers guide to avoid the racist assholes, so Victor Green made a travelers guide so blacks could avoid racist places and find the hotels, gas stations, and restaurants that were hospitable
My response to Wolfgang was so damn long I had to waste an hour to type it, and then it wouldn't work in the 4000 character limit of a comment... so it's in two pieces at that post, and if you are curious what sort of reply took my that long, click on this link, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-racist-american-south-eastern.html?showComment=1516992997602#c3405021990252913380 and scroll down past the post.
No one else had commented on that post. I think that indicates that not very many racist people are reading my blog.
Good. I'm not racist, my parents are.
I'm also not some one who has to cater to racists. That's for people who get paid to make magazines, tv shows, and websites where they have to worry about ratings, readership numbers, stats, metrics, traffic analytics and how their income is affected by opinions.
I don't have to. No one was ever invited to read this blog, no one ever paid to, and no one ever had to subscribe, register, or sign in. So, no one is looking at this blog unless they WANT to. That's why I don't have to put up with any shit I don't WANT to. It's my blog, my site, and whatever I say, goes. Like Eddie Murphy once said, if you don't like it, get the fuck out.
For everyone else, who doesn't mind what I do, say, post, feel, or promote, I'm glad to get along with you, as all I'm doing here is sharing stuff I think is cool. Not finding people and forcing them to look at my nonsense. I'm just putting my favorite things up, and letting it be, and letting the rest of the online world judge for themselves if they want to look at it, or not.

Well said Jesse.
ReplyDeletethank you. This, or my reply to Wolfgang?
DeleteYou're spot on, although it wasn't (and isn't) just the east and south. Remember black entertainers playing Vegas couldn't stay at the places the headlined, and Oregon's constitution excluded blacks from moving in.
ReplyDeleteNo, of course it isn't, but, it was the most. The South east is synonymous with racist assholes, and will never shake that reputation... they created it. Now they have to deal with it. I hadn't ever heard that about Oregon! Wow, that's some shit! As for Vegas, I've heard that, but I've also heard it was the only place some black entertainers could get a gig, solo on stage, and stay at the casino. Results may vary, of course. Thanks!
DeleteIn 1962 I met the girl that would become my wife and we took a day trip to Virginia and we were both shocked by the separate but "equal" restroom we saw that day at a gas station. I am so saddened that back then in the 1960's I thought things were getting better, but instead more than 50 years later race relations in this country seem worse that ever. I told my two children as they were growing up that when we are cut our blood is the same color as anyone else.
ReplyDeletethen you've seen the entire span of pre and post civil rights racism, and damn... I'd hoped it was much better too. The last couple of years around St Louis and Baltimore indicate it hasn't changed much in the eastern states
DeleteTheodore Roosevelt said it best in 1915, and I feel it hods truer today than even back then:
ReplyDelete"What is true of creed is no less true of nationality. There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.
The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country."
Thank you for this post.
ReplyDeletewell.. you're welcome of course! Did this need to be said a bit more than I felt it did?
DeleteWell said!
