The Daily Word 11.06.09: Fort Hood, Gary Johnson, Baby Accents

My 1940 home had that language in the covenant. You could have a Chinese houseboy who lives in a separate building, but not the main house. Which is kind of hilarious, because all the homes in the neighborhood are tiny 2-bedroom bungalows. These archaic and unenforceable covenants aren't exactly news.

But I don't think anyone's using it as a justification. That piece is trying to being to scratch out an understanding of who Hasan was.

Did you read the piece? There's also a link to a blog he wrote about suicide bombers.

Its because everyone's automatically making BS assumptions because of his background and the family decided it would be good to come out saying he's not some terrorist like a good amount of media people are already trying to make him out to be. I just read an article claiming he said "Allahu Akbar" before he went on his rampage, yet the media also reported he was dead yesterday, and that there were three shooters instead of just one. So I'd say the family was trying to take action before the some of the shady ass media did their usual crap.

And that's not to try and justify what he did, but to point out how quickly some parts of the media resort to knee jerk, racist reactions way too quickly.

You would catch a lot of shit for having the name Nidal Malik Hasan in the U.S. military...

But on a side note, we did elect someone by the name of Barack Hussein Obama to the highest office in the country.

So it's obvious people are able to transcend these kinds of ridiculous assumptions, it's just extremely difficult and rare.

using faulty logic, (even with the bullshit caveat)

I would catch a lot of shit for using the name Nidal Malik Hasan

We have a president with the name Barak Hussein Obama

Therefore we as a people are able to transcend racist assumptions.

You're tiresome beef with racism clouds your vision and causes you to make illogical arguments.

Read all of the threads, not just the latest ones, to prevent looking like a total asshole before you attack what you believe as being "faulty logic."

What was discussed is how racism, name-calling, pestering, harassment, etc. are all deep-rooted institutions in the military. You'd catch just as much shit if your name was Jack Smith, because now you're from Kansas (hypothetically), therefore you sleep with your sisters and fondle farm animals, etc. Everybody is subject to a a brutal attack as being part of the process. Having that name is no different in inviting those attacks. As does being from Kansas. As does being overweight. I'm sure you see what I mean.

I heard you were offended by racist terms in blogs so I wrote "cracker", "nigger", "spic", "heeb", "raghead" and "slope" in this post so you could be offended while you blogged.

but what I was getting at is that no one is exempt from that type of treatment. It's not like all the white GIs are all huddled in a circle laughing at the lonesome little Muslim boy, everyone is subject to a lot of crap there. His attacks are probably just more racially motivated than others in lieu of the current political climate, but everybody else gets theirs someway, somehow.

...and you still managed to make a really illogical argument that I proceeded to point out. Also you're assumption that a really boring person from Kansas would get as much harassment as a Muslim in this type of politically charged climate is naive at best, idiotic at worst. I think youre confusing racism with negative stereotypes.

Do your mothers know you are playing on t3h interwebz?
