Snoopitorial
Ok now you know I am speaking very serious for a change because of the lack of all caps. I received a curious but slightly disturbing, confusing note from a young woman who I will not name out of respect.
She has been reading the zone almost since I started over a month ago.
She is honestly confused and bewildered at my political points of view. Especially with her knowing, I am black.
Everything I have posted and said on my blog is contrary to what she was taught by her parents and those around her.
She has never been around blacks nor has spoken to many blacks in her lifetime, which makes the Zone to her more of an interest of sorts.
Some may remember a few weeks ago when I “jokingly” said that people who did not vote for me in the Battle of the Blog contests were racists.
She found the remark offensive. The post was pure sarcasm; I was not serious in any way.
I think I said on the post before I don’t take the battle thing seriously or personally
its simply a way to introduce folks to new posts. What counts for me is traffic, and I can assure you I receive a fair amount.
Regardless of the lack of comments many people are at least looking. Surprisingly enough less and less of my traffic is “Blog Explosion” related.
So folks are finding me, which makes this more fun.
I have fun with my blog and I don’t take myself or this blog too seriously.
FYI folks I have the best wife and job I could ever hope for. My life is pretty darn good. Blogging is a hobby people. Anybody who takes this endeavor too seriously needs psychiatric help. You need a life.
She talked about how she could not vote for my blog because of my views. She thinks my views insight hatred, and in her words “adds to the suffering” of black individuals in this country.
She stated that my blog is funny sometimes and she would like to vote for it, but cannot out of conscience.
This young woman said that my attacks on liberals are an attack on the very people who try to help blacks and other minorities receive opportunities in this country.
Pause for a moment and think about that comment………………….
Let’s assume you believe that particular comment, do any of you who do feel the same way understand how dangerous that comment is?
Can anybody see how self-absorbed and self important you have to feel to think that way?
Could she not see how condescending that remark would be to another black individual?
This young woman in her heartbelieves that her goodness and caring is what is needed to provide opportunities for blacks or other minorities.
This is why I am Republican and Conservative. This is also, why I sincerely believe that liberalism is at its core destructive and corrosive to promoting freedoms and opportunities for minorities and blacks in particular.
To this young woman or anybody else who may have those same views, you need chill and get a grip on reality.
I am not about promoting a pro Republican or Pro Conservative agenda. Not everything Republicans do is sound is always correct and is always in the best interest of the country.
We all need to take a close and honest look at our views and make our case and stand up for what we believe.
However, I have always felt that those of you who consider yourself liberals are not honest with yourselves or real life.
If any of you share this woman’s thought processes they you better do some soul searching, because you are not only out of touch with reality you don’t have a clear grasp of the world around you.
Like the invitation, I extended to “Liberal Traitor”, please feel free to set me straight, feel free to try to educate me.
Peace, Snoop

Much respect dog, regardless if you are black, white, republican, democrat, liberal, conservative, man or woman, that was an insightful editorial, like you said, you can’t make this your life, I enjoy some of your rants and ravings, if I feel I need to respond, I do, if not, I don’t, it’s my choice, This is America, everyone has a choice, you don’t have to agree with it, it’s healthly to disagree, but this lady apparently is a little out of touch - this year 2005, she doesn’t deal with blacks or minorities, but thinks she has the right to tell us what we need, now that is bullshit, anyway again, I enjoy your blogs, thru reading I know most of them are just to start something, and it’s all good
love, peace (you know the rest) MJ

The best you can hope for? Or the best period!? Hmmm. The prior says you got what you deserved, no more or less, buty the latter says you got the best that there is (for you)! LOL.
As a former bleeding heart liberal, let me just tell “the young lady” that my head nearly exploded as I took a race discrimination class from a beautiful Black woman who MARCHED in the 60’s civil rights movement (in the south no less). Ms. Marilynn Yarbourough, God rest her soul, helped me to understand that my heartfelt desire to be kind and gentle to those of darker skin tones was in fact a condencending and not too subtle way of setting myself up as superior to anyone that I wanted “to help”. That kind of “big brother” paternalism was/is in fact a reason why so many social programs have been abysmal failures! After taking that class, and reading the assigned book by Dr. Derek Bell, I began my sea change in attitude. May I suggest to this young woman that she study history more closely, and read some of the wonderful Black conservative authors (like those Snoop links to on the side bar)if she wants to begin to see what those who are not Black can do to REALLY help promote a world that allows all people to achieve their full and personal potentials! Snoop is being sarcastic 90% of the time (when he calls someone a racist), but racism still thrives (make no mistake about it)….Even in the hearts and souls of those who would be horrified to admit it…..

woops…I THOUGHT Snoop had links for such folks as Thomas Sowell…but they aren’t there…so I must have imagined them…ANYWAY - Snoop can provide you with some reading materials, if you would like to expand your world view on what does and does not actually help members of a racial minority. Just feeling bad for them, and passing more laws to provide more funding/crutches doesn’t accomplish a whole lot of good….
