My premise is that racism is based on ignorance and primitive tribalism. We share 99% of our genes with chimpanzees. We are really nothing more than a third race of chimps. We also share nearly as much with our other close relative – the gorilla. Human beings are extremely new as a species. We have only been on this planet for 200,000 years. Not nearly enough to evolve greatly. The first humans were black skinned and lived on the African plains. The first white skin mutation only occurred in Europe around 15,000 years ago. Skin colour has evolved as a balance between the need for vitamin D and protection from skin cancer. Melanin is the black pigment found in skin. It protects against UV rays but stops the production of Vitamin D from sunlight. Through a number of minor mutations skin colour has evolved t…
See that ? Could be YOU in a couple of years. Be that in the US or here in Europe. Old age poverty will increase at a thousand percent rate. Too many people, an aging population, not enough jobs for people being able to pay income tax, and therefore the savings for social security and r…
Ok. I read all those comments here about Charlotteville. I excuse myself, because it's not my business what happens in the US (I get often reminded of that), but what happens over there comes over here to Europe too - sooner or later. Sometimes it's good news like Elvis, Easy Rider or Noam C…
Unfashionable as it is to say, President. Trump was right to a degree in his comments on Tuesday. Now he was wrong about some things. Few, if any, of those demonstrating against the removal of the statue of Lee from the re-named Emancipation Park were people of good will who are opposed to an…
Do the removal or destruction of statues of solders and Presidents from over a century ago matter more then Black Lives or for that matter any life? I live in the shaddow of Chicago that has not ended gang violence that has been around for decades. “[T]he welfare state has done to black Americ…
Charlottesville. Trying to make sense out of a living nightmare is not possible. I am for free speech and civil disobedience, and that has not happened. mrt has been fanning the flames of racism, hate, and evil since his campaign that led to his election, began. He has openly uncovered what lay…
I am an antitheist and have seen no evidence for the existence of any deity, yet I find myself strongly attracted to many natural phenomena, such as sunsets, starry nights, trees, rocks, seascapes and mountains, in what I experience as a ‘spiritual’ connection and I am a great believer i…
You are about to read a list of 45 goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As you read this, 39 years later, you should be shocked by the events that have played themselves out. I first ran across this list 3 years ago but was unable to attain a copy and it has …
1. Hunger from Chronic Food Shortages " . An estimated 25,000 Venezuelans make the trek across the Simon Bolivar International Bridge into Colombia each day. Many come for a few hours to work or trade goods on the black market, looking for household supplies they cannot find back home.…
Clearly the violence in South Carolina could not exist if both sides had not gone there looking for a fight. If the most radical White Supremacists shouted Nazi slogans, and ugly racist slurs as they marched down the street the only headlines we'd have seen would have been how stupid the…
I recently watched “The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin” and found it hysterically funny. There were many times when I laughed out loud. “The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin,” as well as the players described in the film made the latest series of “Saturday Night Live” shows loo…
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which has power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory …
TRUMP'S SHEETS ARE SHOWING Damn, WHAT A TOAD! Tubularsock blames Alzheimer-Reagan for the total failures of Trump! Seriously! It was Bat Shit Crazy Reagan who was responsible for putting the mentally deranged out in the streets and making mental illness a criminal offense rather than a medic…
My parents suffered under German Nazism White supremacists told my parents they were subhuman, just mules and pigs. My parents were enslaved for years and saw their family and friends slaughtered. My family spent 6 years in a refugee camp in Germany waiting for Amer…
by Billy Roper As most of you know, I did not attend the Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, this past weekend. Many of you also, whether you agree with them or not, know my reasons why. It is not my purpose to rehash them here. Nor is it my intent today to discuss in detail t…
Nothing Makes Sense A trillion stars glistening like white salt crystals on black velvet; The Milky Way a band of circling smoke; A mind to witness the majestic impossibility; A mind to ponder all possibility; A sea of questions to founder in; Answers like driftwood to cling to; Facts that ar…
The average White guy For this piece, I am the average White American Guy. You can call me WAG. I am from an average family on Long Island, who lived in an average house and was an average student who played sports. I finished High School and went to work in a factory. Every body had a job wh…
The last thing we need right now are people banging the partisan drums. There are truths that transcend political affiliations but are mired and hidden in today's hard and irrational fighting. It is time for people to start looking for common ground. I am typically …
Somewhere in America, a young man sits at the breakfast table, eating his cereal. He’s getting ready to go. His backpack and coat are in the chair next to him. His parents are nervous and excited for him. He’s told them that he’s going to the city for a jo…
It’s coming! An event that long ago showed up as a dream marker upon my imagined future life trail. The eclipse of August 21, 2017. As a child I was fanatical about all things related to the cosmos, and I devoured all of the books I could about astronomy and cosmology. I confess tha…
When it comes to sleazy bastards Paul Lying Ryan is one of the sleaziest and his supporters all need to die of cancer. If Paul Ryan were to croak tomorrow I would disrupt his funeral service and then piss on his grave. The House Speaker, in his inimitable snotty-ass frat boy way,&…
Of Two Minds on Everything. Both were to blame. Except the Jews were right. Except arm yourself and prepare to fight. But we have bigger concerns in the world. But is there a bigger concern except who gets to speak their mind? But of course. Wh…
Baltimore Watch this 2 minute video..this has been going on literally for hundreds of years. Here is a propaganda “war video” from 1943. Pay attention to the end. Why must people hate people so much they have to make a point by killing others when they don’t agree? &#…
