Don’t Forget The Gift Wrap
With the season of jollity and gift-giving bearing down upon us, like the crop duster in North By Northwest, patrons are reminded that any Amazon UK shopping done via this link, or for Amazon US via this link, or via the buttons in the sidebar, results in a small fee for your host at no extra cost to you. Feel free to shop excitedly and without restraint.
If the urge to give requires more direct expression, there are three buttons below the fold.
Also, open thread.
I know, you’re shocked.
According to Mr Carron J Phillips, the Deadspin writer mentioned above, the boy in the photograph, the one painted with the colours of his favourite team, has “found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.” “This is what happens,” he writes, “when you… stand against Critical Race Theory.”
Mr Phillips, by the way, is “concerned” by the sight of white people.
Every time.

*ahem* I managed to post a link without making too much of a mess. Can I do my lap of honour/victory dance in here, or should I take it outside?
Congratulations. Though the cheerleader outfit is perhaps a bit much.
Available from Amazon. You see, I clicked on this here link thing…
Some of the choice replies.
“Did you know Allah is beyond gender?” asks a deluded buffoon.

That has to be a parody, right? Otherwise that’s just too stupid to process.
To be honest, I wish I was.
It is odd that the boy chose to paint his face black and red. The team’s colours are predominantly red and gold. Black is used to outline the “arrowhead” and the “KC” in the logo. White and Black do appear on the logo slick, but it would make more sense to paint your face red and gold or even red and white.

Despite a claim to the contrary there’s no evidence there is a mind to be blown.
Karen J Phillips, surely?
A pre-Christmas ping for you, barkeep.
Bless you, sir. May your children carry with them the hard-won knowledge that M&S Cheese Tasters are better than Waitrose Cheese Puffs. Not hugely so, but better nonetheless, at least as an MSG delivery system.

‘Auto-beatification.’
Nicely put.
Oh well, there wasn’t much I wanted to see in Éire anyway.
@aelfheld. The vision of the anointed is, after all, the vision of the oily.
Why is it that I see so many of these harpy, annoying, shrews from hell yet I never see anyone putting these ignoramuses in their place? Are there no men left in this world? I mean besides me. I’m getting mighty tired of being the only one who says anything.
Pinged. They said it’s “Giving Tuesday” here. Or something. Buy one of the henchlesbians something. The hunchbacked one winked at me the other day so…no not her. Meh, you’re just gonna do whatever anyway…
I know, you’re shocked.
We know what you white people are up to putting your children in facepaint, under such pretexts as “pageantry” and “eye catching graphic statements”. In every white heart there lurks the dream of marching their children around in Al Jolson impersonation squads, creating a menacing environment for 320lb/$320m defensive linemen.
Bless you, sir. After spending half an hour carefully wrapping presents for a birthday party, such that the parcels are glorious and immaculate, may you not have a belated and rather awful suspicion that you’ve forgotten to remove a price tag from one of the presents, now immaculately wrapped.
The young man at the center of the red face/blackface controversy is named Holden Armenta. His Dad is a member of the Chumash tribe, making young Holden also Native American.
I wonder if the family will hire Nick Sandmann’s lawyer.
Whatever happened to “Give Till It Hurts”?
Clearly the only solution is to force the diverse to donate.
In light of which, it’s worth noting that when readers challenged his claims and drew attention to the deceptive photograph, Mr Phillips continued his grown-man-meltdown by calling his readers “idiots,” and then blocking half the internet.
Character, you see.
I’m surprised to discover that by ethnicity Asians are the biggest wankers. Not what I was expecting!
Heh. Per previous Buc-ee’s discussion, here’s a small scale model to help find your way around. Kinda. Sorta.
Clearly the only solution is to force the diverse to donate.
“This really highlights the need to identify barriers to increase recruitment of these donors” – Perhaps rappers, basketball players, and other black role models could popularize the idea of sperm donation?
“so that we can support family-building for all populations,” – “populations”=”races”. It’s still ok for the moment for customers of these services to express a wish for same-race children.
“said Lauren Gibbs, MD, a resident in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta.” – this is a black college. She’s saying there’s a supply problem, but what’s the black representation on the demand side?
As in total lack of.
Well, I’ve yet to see Mr Phillips offer a retraction or an apology of any kind. Perhaps he was too busy calling people racist based on bugger all. Presumably, like so many of his peers, he’ll act as if nothing happened and then find some other target for his performative indignation.
Rinse and repeat.
One can hope.
Velveeta.
“Mr Phillips, by the way, is “concerned” by the sight of white people.“
Well, to be welcoming and inclusive, perhaps his white colleagues should black up? That’d fix things, I’m sure.
Oh, our little Holden’s troubles are just beginning…
Seriously though, if you google his name, some Pop Warner or whatever highlight videos are out there for the kid. Looks like he plays safety.
Well, in his…defense…were he to apologize he would be admitting wrongdoing and thus speedup the process. These things must be done slowly, over long periods of time so as to generate as many billable hours for the lawyers.
This writer is a scumbag and I have zero sympathy for him but a functional society would require him to apologize, as you say, show some serious contrition, be soundly humiliated by everyone and preferably lose his job and that would be the end of it. But no, we cannot have that. There’s no money in it for the legal system.
Clear as a mud lake…
I’ll be busy for a couple of days, so no Ephemera tomorrow, I’m afraid.
What about bar snacks?
[ Brushes unidentifiable crumbs in aelfheld’s general direction. ]
There’s flavour in there somewhere.
I’ll be busy for a couple of days, so no Ephemera tomorrow,
blackface kid: even if the kid actually did blackface, it is unseemly to pick on a kid who cannot defend himself. Just like with Sandmann. As to getting offended by someone wearing a war bonnet….for a team with an indian mascot…that is just stupid.
The bigger problem is that the media has gotten used to using outrageous lies with no blowback. Calling teaparty or school parents or catholics “terrorists” and actual terrorists “freedom fighters”, calling a man a woman in official gov business. Ignoring the FBI plants in J6. Saying Trump is racist and will execute his opponents (just a few days ago on MSNBC IIRC).
At least Sandmann was a teenager. This kid is what? Nine years old?
I just checked this db “reporter”, this Pulitzer guy’s Twitter feed. It’s still there, no apologies. He even mocks what little criticism he had allowed himself to see. He’s put up about one or two dozen more tweets since then. I have seen none of the “establishment” types on the right say boo about this. It’s a culture war thing that is simply below them. Meanwhile there’s a completely fabricated freak out of advertisers pulling back from Twitter over a manufactured lie regarding Musk supposedly being an anti-semite. All the while the same people regarding or being mum about Hamas being “freedom fighters” and similar bullshit. Outrageous lies ain’t gonna blowback themselves, you know. Fortunately, Musk at least knows how to fight. And he pulls no punches attempting to be polite.
A footnote to the Deadspin / “blackface” story, mentioned upthread.
Projection of note.

This reply in the same thread captures the zeitgeist.
I don’t see the reason for conservative glee in the fact that the kid turned out to be an Official Native American. It just seems to reinforce the principle that whites, including white children, are fair game for bullying. If that principle is conceded, then all the Deadspin guy has to do to come out well from this is to say that his anti-white instincts were correct all along and he’s a big enough man to be corrected on the point of fact that his target wasn’t white.
God forbid that “conservatives” stand up for some conservative principle or conservative statement of how the world works. By definition, most borrowing from foreign cultures will be superficial, irreverent and self-serving – whites borrowing from non-whites and vice versa – that’s a statement of how the world works that a conservative might live by. We feel sorry for what’s become of aboriginals and as a courtesy to them we think it’s fair not to dress up in their costumes, but we refuse to be guilt-tripped by representatives of third-party races, or to buy into a theme of eternal white bad intent – that’s a principle that a conservative might stand up for.
And God forbid that “principled” “conservatives” stand up for living breathing white people. What a relief for them that the kid is a minority, so they can go into full DR3 (Dems are the real racists) mode.
OK…so absent a Friday Ephemera I submit for your consideration this bath towel I…uh…focused on in my mother-in-laws bathroom many years ago. My friends didn’t see anything odd about it so…do any of you complete strangers notice anything?
I have questions – does anyone here have any suggestions?
Speaking of which – I assume you’ve all seen this?
