So when I was poking around on Roosh’s Return of Kings blog the other day I ran across a guest post from someone calling himself Samseau accusing feminists of using racism to exploit men – that is, of expertly manipulating men of different races to fight one another instead of standing firm against the evil feminists and their evil agenda.
The post, while purporting to be somehow “above” the issue of race, is a muddled mess full of “white men have it worst” nonsense like this:
[R]acial infighting between American men wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the political consequences.
Women, if you haven’t noticed, do not fight with each other over racial conflicts. They might get angry over the past, but they are able to resolve all issues by agreeing on a scapegoat: the white man. Colored women will gladly forgive their white sisters, since, after all, it was the white man who oppressed women and minorities.
White men are the big, bad, evil masters, and as such, all females of different colors can agree to put aside their differences in order to bring the white man down.
Yes, he did indeed use the term “colored women.” Oh, but there’s more.
The election results show that decades of brainwashing young American boys has been an unqualified success. Rather than have boys be loyal to their gender, boys have instead been trained to be loyal to their race.
Little non-white boys at the tender age of 9 years are fed lies about how white male oppressors created their poor living conditions, while white boys are taught that they need to correct the injustices of their forefathers lest they be guilty with the indelible sin of white privilege. Female teachers use the appropriate shaming tactics on these young minds to imprint the intended desire for conflict.
All according to plan.
And more:
Men are pawns in the race game. Thus while American women feed themselves government largesse, jobs, university degrees, their husband’s money, and child support money, American men fight each other over table scraps.
But my favorite thing about this article is the little graph that Mr. Samseau made up to illustrate the REAL issues men face today.
Yep. Race is the least important issue, while “getting laid” is number one.
It’s a pretty revealing little chart, huh?
The comment section for the article – wade into this swamp at your own peril – is (predictably enough) filled with angry racists trying to explain why race really does matter. Others, meanwhile, seem upset that all this racism is getting in the way of the regular woman-bashing. Still others suggest that men of all races needed to understand the “root cause” of all our “multicultural problems.” That being … teh Jews.
My favorite comment of the bunch, though, has to be this, from Caliente, combining an astounding ignorance of history with some half-digested evo psych:
Btw the reason why there are practically no racist women is simple.
Males of mammals are territorial.
They naturally base they identity from bottom up: family,tribe,nation,race.And naturally react negative to males of different “tribe”.
Females at the same time are receptive to have sex with any males as long as they are alpha enough.
In 19 century whites fucked all the black women because they were alpha and they had recourses,just look at Brasil.Nowadays a feminist will be cheating on her white beta herbling with some black fitness coach because that is how her brain assumes alphaness.
Wow.
Glad we got that all settled!
LOL I followed the link. I assume that Tony Perkins has forgotten the Sermon on the Mount, or has a copy of the original scriptures that say, “Actually I just said all that for the LULZ”.
Okay, so now I’m wandering that fundieslike site, which ended in my husband hearing the hymn, “I’m Not Going to Hell.”
Hubby: “Oh god, it’s so bad… but I can’t help it! It’s Southern gospel! I WANT IT!”
Poor, poor conflicted bisexual Southern Baptist hubby…
“Blessed are the cheesemakers!”
LBT – earplugs, stat!
Guns are the only way you can stay alive! Therefore Jesus opposes gun control!
Now hubby’s just holding his face in his hands and we’re cleaning our brains with Johnny Cash singing “God’s Gonna Cut You Down.”
Isn’t it amazing how people live around the world with no guns … I’ve never seen one outside a museum unless it was in a cop’s holster.
I guess that just proves I’m no Christian. 😛
@LBT: just for hubby:
The Constitution is literally in the Bible!
RE: Kiwi Girl
Oh yeah, Alison Krause is good, we’ve got her singing that song, which is a bit more Appalachia than Deep South. Still enough to give him nostalgia.
I remember nostalgia. Of course, lately nostalgia hasn’t been what it used to be.
@katz should I be concerned that it comes in a “camo” jacket version?
“…nostalgia hasn’t been what it used to be”
I arrest you for old jokes!*
*and if you know where that line came from you’re really admitting your age. 😛
I had to look the phrase up. I’ve not really heard the Goon Show, no-one in my family was that much into comedy. Apart from Gilbert & Sullivan, if you’ll let me stretch the “comedy” definition that far.
No worries! The only reason I brought up the fact that I come from a conservative Muslim family is that I wanted to explain exactly why growing long hair is difficult for me. It’s understandable that you’d assume that I came from a conservative Christian family because no one really talks about conservative Muslim families (which, by the way, are typically much more oppressive than conservative Christian families simply because Islam is very different from Christianity in practice – that’s just something I believe because of my personal experiences with conservative Muslim families).
Thank you, mxe! The interesting thing is one easily thinks of “oppressive Muslim family” if one thinks of those who are already living as women in that family; it’s a real stereotype here in Oz, too, every time some godawful man murders his wife or daughter (not that that’s unique to any culture or creed, but the media would never say as much). One doesn’t necessarily stretch to thinking of the oppressive aspects for everyone else, though the G of LGBT comes to mind readily enough.
Kiwi girl – if you look up the Goons on the Net, you’ll find their old shows can still be played. They’re the ones who really started the whole line of English humour that the Pythons carried on; being a radio show it’s purely verbal humour and the imagery is surreal. It’s 1950s so be aware there is stuff that we side-eye now a bit, but oy, so much of it is still so funny.
I’ve heard so many childish and destructive feminist theories : I’ve heard feminists saying that to defeat patriarchy women should stop having children, stop having sexual intercourses with men, go lesbian and build the true egalitarian amazon society; I’ve heard feminists saying that because white patriarchy is the real oppressor, feminists must support any kind of non-white patriarchy; I’ve even seen feminists calling for a partial eradication of the males because masculinity is evil, so no man, no evil.
Although, I’ve never been troubled by these sort of paranoid and over-generalizing speeches like I am by all this “manosphere” stuff : seeing men saying that banging the maximum of girls, don’t marry, don’t have children and keep bitching about girls (while lifting weights) with your bros is a “liberation of men” is as childish and destructive than seeing a bunch a girls pretending that they participate in the liberation of women when they keep hating on men (while writing articles about the last shoes of Kate Moss) and advocating for always more state control over sex relationships (and use of free-speech) on Jezebel, but the “manosphere” stuff, that’s like the final step, the destruction of the last barrier to the annihilation of any kind of adulthood.
In a certain way, I find it reassuring that there is still a group of people on earth who is always taken for responsible of what they do, who can’t blame other people for their behavior.
What will happen if white males start buying this shit and go forming another oppressed group which will produce such a paranoid, irresponsible propaganda with the same arguments and the same rhetoric feminist, gay, black, jew, muslim used before them to take a fantasized oppression as an excuse to just hate the rest of the world and free them of any guilt for all the shit they do?
I want to remain responsible of everything I do during all my life. In this purpose, I’ve always pretended to be white to not fell in a “victim” group, but as it seems that white boys will soon claim their share of victimhood, I propose to form a new group for all those who don’t want to be involved in all this noisy and noxious nonsense.
Really? Citations needed.
Cool story, Brz.
Shorter Brz: Everybody but straight white christian males is terrible, but what if the straight white christian males start acting like non-straight white christian males? *shudder*
Oh goody, someone else who doesn’t know the definition of oppressed.
Kitteh’s: When was JC ever portrayed through centuries of imagined portraits as having a buzz cut?
In Rome, and Byzantium he had short hair, and no beard.
I have long hair, baby fine and super straight. I wash it as little as I can, and then only shampoo my skull. If I plait it when wet I can get about three hours of wave from it, then it’s straight again. Right now it’s to the top of my waist.
I’ve seen one of the earliest Roman carvings of him, and he has a sort of shaggy cut, and is clean-shaven, but it’s not a buzz cut. 🙂 They went for a sort of Apolloesque longish hair – down to the nape or almost the shoulders – and a youthful look in the early mosaics. Mind you, even those would have been Decadent Girly Homos to the 1950s genius of the “Jesus Had Short Hair!” nonsense.
Shit, yours is even finer than mine, braided while soaking wet it says wavy for days if humid enough (though that might be some winter 2012 fluke, never done it before!)
I’m just going to ignore Brz there and offer Reese’s pieces I didn’t know I had, anyone want some?
Yes please! (No idea what Reese’s are but I’ll take a chance with intertubes ones.)
Peanut butter, lots of various oils and corn syrup, in a candy shell. Incredibly unhealthy, and incredibly delicious 🙂
Sounds good! 🙂
