Of Madonna and Niggers

It is interesting how "nigger" and it's variants have long been used in America to denote the lowest reaches of American society. I have so rarely stooped to such a crash level. People who are at the bottom are "scumbags," not "niggers." Weak or obnoxious men are not "faggots" (which was a lesson both Isaiah Washington and Ann Coulter needed to learn). Dimwitted people are not "retards"--very few developmentally disabled people try to appear on reality TV.

At a certain point, it really is rich black people mocking poor black people, rappers and pro-athletes demonstrating they're still "street"--even though Jennifer Lopez no longer parks her Jag in the street. It is totally asinine, and completely detrimental both to American society and black people to tolerate such idiocy. This goes into identity--and blacks claiming they can "reclaim" a word if only they use it as a term of endearment. That one person has the "right" to use a word but not another is a degree of nuance that liberals oddly enough do not understand. So this should be abandoned completely because it's just easier.

Throughout her long career, Madonna has lacked identity. She has positioned herself as the role of the constant teen, always redefining herself...while pushing 60--that's right. This is truly a desperate necessity, thus is the nature of the pop music industry--even though her relationship with younger men is a symptom of her emotional immaturity. Meanwhile calling Madonna "a racist" tends to ignore that she'd done more to help black people than many black people: She adopted two black kids, no strings attached. Racism has gotten more confusing in our so-called post-racial America.

This is the constant stream of wiggahs being created in our society: White people now think they're "down with it," which is about as offensive as rich blacks believing they have suffered the sting of racism as their forebears had. When Gwyneth Paltrow used the word "nigger" in a Twitter post a few years back, she really was quoting a song. If black people degrade themselves, whites will get on board. The versatility of the human languages allows for the constant creation of new slurs, making it additionally pointless.

That the kid Kanye allegedly beaten up was apparently using the term "nigger" as a derogatory term is an example of how little progress has been made in America. He then used the insult "nigger lover" on Kardasian suggests that this young man is both mentally unstable and stuck in the 1960s--and Kim Kardasian took the time off from destroying American culture to be a victim of some good ole fashioned American racism. For once in Kanye's life, he accomplished something awesome: Beating that kid up.

If Ricky Gervais had hosted this year's Golden Globes.

The Fey-Poeher pairing was pretty funny. Don't get me wrong. But I missed Gervais's sharp-tongue ridiculing of Hollywood pretentiousness. I thought I would imagine an alternate universe, where Ricky would've been given his rightful due, and here's how the night went down:

He would point out how much Amy Poeher looks like Justin Bieber. “That’s right. You know you look like’em, love.”

He would mock Steve Carell’s post-Office career. “Not so easy, is it? Not so easy to be in movies.” This would then be followed up by him bringing out the cast of "Anchorman 2" onstage, then he would tell the cast of "Anchorman 2" to leave.

Tell everyone at the ceremony to save their leftovers for the Somali fellow's family, then he would tell Sandra Bullock not to try to adopt him. He's a grown man.

Ricky Gervais broke out his Sean Penn jokes. Sean Penn doesn't get jokes, so he slugged Ricky Gervais.

He would call Mila Kunis a whore. No context. He would just get onstage and call her a whore.

He would tell Jennifer Lawrence not to trip this time…. Then he would totally trip Jennifer Lawrence.

Did anyone say “Paul Walker death jokes”?

He would call Mel Gibson, get him on speaker phone, then break out his Mel Gibson jokes. Because you know he’s got a lot of them.

Woody Allen would be mentioned, and Gervais's head would proceed to explode. (Fortunately Mia Farrow's son filled the vacuum and called him a pedophile.)

Slave jokes! Slave jokes! Slave jokes!
