Asian Women with White Men Suck?

from chinaSMACK ::: blogger Christine H. Tan explores the intricacies of interracial relations: here's a snippet or two:::

Just think about that for a while — without being politically correct, what is your gut reaction to Asian women with white men? ... "We're not all rich old white men with young ferocious Asian wives... but they do exist." ... I keep a blog where I’ve occasionally touched upon my type of interracial relationship, particularly in two posts, The Asian Girlfriend Complex, and Ending Bias against White Male and Asian Female Couples?. I wrote these posts because I am very much aware of the negative associations...

...and "it ain't pretty!" The radio talker wants to see Norplant, the embedded contraceptive, required for all women on welfare.

This isn't really a new concept... scroll down to the end of paragraph 4 on this webpage...

Savage has summarized his political philosophy in three words: borders, language, and culture. Some, including Savage himself, have characterized his views as conservative nationalism, while critics have characterized them as "fostering extremism or hatred."] He outspokenly opposes illegal immigration to the United States, supports the English-only movement and argues that liberalism and progressivism are degrading American culture. Although his radio delivery is usually characterized as confrontational and politically themed, some of his show involves ruminating on topics such as medicine, nutrition, music, literature, history, theology, philosophy, sports, culture, and personal anecdotes.

I woke up this morning to the news that another pop culture icon is falling...

We've all heard the old saying "the bigger they are the harder they fall," and we've seen it happen so often in recent memory: Mel Gibson, Nadja Benaissa, Don Imus, Tiger Woods, Rod Blagojevich, Eliot Spitzer, and now, as unbelieveable as it seems, long-time radio personality Dr. Laura (who bills hereself as "America's #1 Female Talk Radio Host") is leaving radio! (Up until a few months ago her show had been broadcast in the Capital Region over talk1300 - you can bet they are SO glad they dumped her before this!)

Dr. Laura quit her show on Larry King Live. Why did Dr. Laura Schlessinger quit? Saying the N-word 11 times to a caller on the air just isn't acceptable! (Not in these times!) So, what's next? Dr. Laura promises that she will "speak her mind more freely." Is she a real doctor? Dr. Laura’s doctorate is in physiology. Following text written by guest blogger, Saki Tumi:

Here's what happened! Dr. Laura Schlessinger was talking to Jade, an African-American caller, looking for some advice and sympathy for the way she is treated by her Caucasian husband's family and friends. The conversation triggered DR. L to invoke "the N Word" - it all went downhill from there!

TRANSCRIPTION FOLLOWS

Female caller: Is it OK to say it?

DR. Laura Schlessinger: Well, it depends on how it is said.

Female caller: Is it ever OK to say that word?

DR. Laura Schlessinger: It depends how it’s said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it’s OK.

Female caller: But you’re not black. They’re not black. My husband is white.

DR. Laura Schlessinger: I see. So a word is restricted to race? Got it. Can’t do much about that.

Female caller: I can’t believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the (bleep). I hope everyone heard it.

DR. Laura Schlessinger: I didn’t spew out the (bleep) word.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Everybody heard it.

DR. Laura Schlessinger: Yes, they did.

Female caller: I hope everybody heard it.

DR. Laura Schlessinger: They did and I’ll say it again (bleep). Why don’t you let me finish a sentence? Don’t take things out of context. Don’t NAACP me.

Female caller: I know what the “n” word means and I know it came from a white person. And I know the white person means that.

DR. Laura Schlessinger: All right. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Can’t have this argument. You know what, if you are that hyper sensitive about color and don’t have a sense of humor, don’t marry out of your race.

What do YOU think about what DR. Laura said?

#drlaura Rapid Fall From Grace

Just when you thought that maybe we were all startin' to get along!

The harmony cart is being upset on all sides... In this corner, there's Maxine Waters (via Michelle Malkin) [...On the Reverend Al Sharpton’s national radio show on Tuesday afternoon, Waters played the persecuted champion of Urban America to perfection. She claimed the meeting was arranged on behalf of all black banks in the country. Sympathizers are now framing the matter as a threat to “advocacy for black businesses” and whispering loudly about a “racial profiling” campaign against Waters, her embattled colleague Rep. Charlie Rangel, and other ethically-challenged members of the Congressional Black Caucus...]

And in this corner, Doctor Laura! DR. Laura Schlessinger was talking to Jade, an African-American caller, looking for some advice and sympathy for the way she is treated by her Caucasian husband's family and friends. The conversation triggered DR. L to invoke "the N Word" - it all went downhill from there!
