As a teen I heard George Carlin and his 7 words routine for the first time. It was an epiphany for me to hear a person of incredible insight pierce the so-called logic of the establishment. I learned in an instant to question authority, to see mandated anything as evil, and to relish in the self-righteous discomfort of the narrow-minded and the illogical. The following link was the same for me, as it illustrates a truth about America that those who preach division not only miss, but misrepresent... intentionally. Just like Carlin, it contains some coarse language and will likely challenge what you believe you believe, but please listen to the clip all the way to the end. You just might end up re-evaluating a couple of knee-jerk reactions you have, or at least some that certain activists tell you to have.

Carlos Mencia on racial jokes and what they actually mean

When he got to the name tags it made me cry. Thanks. That was great!

Thanks to you too. I should have noted Carlos and his family came to US from Honduras. He's not even a white MAN justifying anything.

“This country was founded by slave owners that wanted to be free.” George Carlin

“The planet is fine. The people are forked". George Carlin

“Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!” George Carlin

“That's why they call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.” George Carlin

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” George Carlin

“Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.” George Carlin

I don't know much about him other than he's apparently a one stop holy grail for white people looking for a minority to quote on race.

He's a shameless plagiarizer of other comics work and he has single-handedly revived 'beaner' as an epithet.

Tex-s

Congrats on missing the point of the post, and of the piece. And I'm not hearing you decry black folks for using their inappropriate epithet to describe themselves.

As for looking for minorities to quote how's this one? "I'm not African-American. I'm an American, and that's a colorless person, because we're all people. I have lots of things running through my veins." Raven Symone

Or this one? "I'd grown up fearing the lynch mobs of the Ku Klux Klan; as an adult I was starting to wonder if I'd been afraid of the wrong white people all along - where I was being pursued not by bigots in white robes, but by left-wing zealots draped in flowing sanctimony." Clarence Thomas

Believe it or not, I don't particularly care about race other than how I'm forced to by laws, policies, and paperwork. I'm an athletics coach, and in that strict meritocracy there is NOT a performance column labeled "race" and I conduct my affairs the same in all aspects. I frequent the stores with the best prices, hours, and service, not those in particular neighborhoods, nor those operated by any particular race. I do admit, though, a general preference for Asian food served in Asian-owned places, and likewise for Mexican food establishments, but that harkens to product quality, not race.

How about this one from Tulsa?

"The Bad Hombres are coming for the white women and they know Kung Flu!" DJT dog whistle, as subtle as garlic.

Do you actually have a point or are you just spewing tripe? Did you listen to the clip?

Texcaster Loc: Queensland

Of course I did ... "We're a post racial melting pot." - Mencia (more or less). So why the massive social strife?

skylane5sp Loc: Puyallup, WA

Media fanning the flames?

Tex-s

Why the massive social strife? Really?

We have strife because it benefits one of the major political parties to have it. It's that simple. There is not a statistically valid argument to support the outrage OR the proposed remedies. Np one can cite a society anywhere at any time that EVER guaranteed the (racial, ethnic, or religious) minority PREFERENTIAL treatment in hiring, education institutional admissions, or the right to civic liberties like free speech. And where actual law does not expressly strike my freedom of expression, the IT overlords have taken up the slack.

Just 2 days ago, a YouTube CHESS CHANNEL had the automated algorithms remove a live streamed video because the game analysis said "no matter what move black makes, white will be better here". I'd be sympathetic except "black lives matter" videos are everywhere on YouTube and "Blue lives matter" content is either removed, demonitized, or flagged.

We have strife because vast swaths of Americans are TAUGHT to view everything through the lens of race and to attribute all inequality to inequity under the law or under the enforcement of law. This world view persist in spite of all empirical evidence because the same race-centered folks have also been taught to view science and math as tools of power and of whites, even when EVERY study on wealth, education, dropouts, crime, suicide, incarceration, drugs, teen pregnancy, domestic violence and many other things correlates with most with fatherless homes, not race. My pointing out race has nothing to do with bad choices will be deemed 'racist'.

I posted just a couple days ago that the first 5 things I use to describe myself don't reference religion, age, income, sex, or race except the use of the word 'father'. Devoted Father, American, Libertarian, Tireless Educator, and Logical. Choose 100 of those marching in the streets and you will find 95 that DO choose explicit references to sex or skin color, as that's the only argument they have, and pointing that problem out only fuels their rage and reduces their 'logic' to even more asinine lows.

The greatest avenue of opportunity is to be born in a home with TWO parents, and the best thing a child who missed that opportunity can do is to be educated on how to not make the same mistakes, not to hate those who did receive that gift.

There is civil unrest because WAY too many people want to blame others for their own choices and were never taught that jealousy is poisonous.
