While it was intended as satire, I deeply regret that I mimicked the language of my harassers. These comments were not aimed at a general audience, because general audiences do not engage in harassment campaigns.

The only justification you need is “because I said so.” If anyone challenges, repeat your concept louder and with an implied threat of violence ~ Unless he is under oath, a man who says “I don’t know” is usually telling the truth. ~ If you look at the Sex Offender Registry for 30341, you see that a bunch of them are staying at the Lodge on Buford. Apparently, it far enough away from a school, or a church, to allow those people to live there. This is also across the street from an IRS office. ~ I took got a so called survey.

K.

If you choose to participate, you can realize that the person you are trashing is a human being. This person deserves compassion and respect, even while expressing an opinion that troubles you. ~ @RuPaul To thine own selfie be true. ~ you sure to like to say racist you are telling on yourself you are just like a closet case that calls everyone else faggot, so they won’t think that he is gay instead, you say racist all the time to take attention away from your race problem ~ KimKierkegaardashian @KimKierkegaard Despite what you’ve heard, I’m not ‘Becky with the good hair.’ I am Kim with the tangled soul. ~ @Kimzolciak Tweet me questions now for my podcast use #kzbpodcast @chamblee54 What are your preferred pronouns? ~ @TheSandman8388 If you leave piss on the toilet seat in a public bathroom, I hope a ravenous creature eats your balls. If i ace this math exam, I’m a facking genius I just heard some dude watching cartoons on his phone whilst taking a shit. Classy. I work well under pressure as long as I like what I am doing. Cities are fancy landfills. People who cause unnecessary congestion should get euthanized out of common courtesy. Dick is the pacifier of hoes. ~ @Ange_Amene The Expulsion of racists and bigots from the Democratic party is a GOOD thing. It shows progress, growth and boundaries. The Democratic coalition should not include deplorable people. @chamblee54 A lady said to Adlai Stevenson, you have the support of every thinking person. Mr. Stevenson replied, thank you, but I need a majority to win A winning candidate needs the support of as many people as possible. You cannot tell people to go elsewhere bc you don’t like them @jessicadroeger OMFG – I believe you just told a WOC that we should allow racists to dictate the Dem Party platform. You need to take ALL the seats and shut your mouth. @chamblee54 No that is not what I said. I just said that Democrats should not be so picky about who they allow to vote for their candidates @jessicadroeger One more time – no one is preventing anyone from voting for Democrats (other than the GOP but that’s a different discussion). We’re saying no one is going to change the platform of the party or do anything to appease racists in order to get their votes. Get it? @chamblee54 You need to have a firm definition of what a racist is for this to work. How hard a line are you going to have? Ask 10 people what a racist is and you get 11 definitions. What is appeasing racists to one person is common sense alliance building to another @jessicadroeger Appeasing racists is not something I will ever do and for sure not in the name of “alliance building.” Here’s the on,y definition you need. @chamblee54 By that definition most of African America is racist @jessicadroeger Racism requires a combination of belief in the superiority of your own race AND the power to create policy/laws to benefit your own race. There is no such thing as reverse racism. Maybe the paper bag in your profile picture is meant to hide the white sheet over your face? @chamblee54 iow the first definition is not sufficient, and must be amended why do you assume I am white?

If you have not already done so, this could be a future episode Why do computers have 789 on the top row, while telephones have 123 on top? ~ semantics test ~ dancing girl ~ more putingate ~ American flag burned outside LA office of congresswoman ~ 34 years ago, a KGB defector chillingly predicted modern America ~ things that got me blocked. @chamblee54 i have done research on this, and the key was the people voting for johnson and stein hrc spent 3% in michigan that she spent in ohio hrc lost michigan by >1%, lost ohio by 8% maybe the more of hrc voters saw, the less they liked her @EmoNegro1 Or maybe Russia tampered with the vote totals or Russian assets Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders siphoned off votes from the left, which they were paid to do? @chamblee54 this is why you need to avoid insulting voters that you need an election is not a teaching moment it is about electing a flawed person instead of a much more flawed person call out racism AFTER you elect your candidate @EmoNegro1 So you’re saying Hillary/Democratic Party need racist voters to win? @chamblee54 yes this is politics you need the support of people you think are horrible could the democrats win without prejudiced black people? @EmoNegro1 So you believe black people are prejudiced? @chamblee54 duh there is a semantic game here. people say black people can’t be racist, but can be prejudiced tomayto tomahto until we pay the same attention to black prejudice that we pay to white racism, we will never get anywhere @EmoNegro1 We ain’t got no more to say. You and Bernie want politics centered on white people. Hillary hurt your fee fees You believe black people not voting for Bernie means they are racist. You brought us Trump. Live it, love it and you’re BLOCKED! @EmoNegro1 More If you come running up in my mentions defending racism and saying Democrats NEED to pander to racists in order to win, you’ve let me know you’ll sell my black ass off to the highest bidder for your comforts and YOU GETS BLOCKED! ~ You are blocked from following @EmoNegro1 and viewing @EmoNegro1’s Tweets. Learn more ~ I don’t watch MSNBC, so I don’t know what Miss Maddow was saying in 2016. Today, she claims to be all over the Russia thing, which she might have been. However, that is not what I remember hearing. I heard about a tiny Arkansas newspaper getting blown up into “The KKK endorses Trump.” I remember hearing that if you vote for Trump you are a racist. In the end, the smalltown voters in Michigan did not like being called racist. That is what the pro-Hillary media did, and how Rachel Maddow helped Donald Trump get elected. ~ klepto kakisocracy klique ~ Compassion is when you use dark letters against a light background, so the text can be easily read. ~ This presumes that an idea is at some time alive. An idea.. aka belief,opinion etc. … , is a construct of the human mind. Can this be said to be alive, or dead, in the same sense that plants or animals are? ~ The activities at the place-that-must-not-be-mentioned should be kept as quiet as possible. Unfortunately, the cat is out of the bag. I still think we should utilize some discretion in describing these activities. As for the purpose of the ARF page… it is a place to announce local events. I think it gets caught up in promotion of fae-related stuff. Maybe the admins could be a bit stricter about this. I think the admins are doing a good job as the page evolves. To the admins of this group:THANK YOU!! ~ Another purpose of this page is posting items that may be of interest to the community. Some of these items are going to be *problematic* to some. You are not obligated to read, or react to, anything that ruffles your feathers. I would enjoy having a vibrant forum, with the understanding that we are not always going to agree. ~ pictures for the publication of last week’s notes are from The Library of Congress. ~ here is the poem from last night at java monkey:

Cliches and Commonplaces ~ Number of people shot in Chicago this year surpasses 1,400 ~ goat yoga ~ food from china ~ The Break with Michelle Wolf | Salute to Abortions | ~ Jiz ~ alan watts lectures ~ Why I Stopped Idolizing Sam Harris It sounds like your previous admiration of Mr. Harris was too much. When you saw some flaws in his character, you over corrected. But, that is just one take. I am not familiar with Mr. Harris, and take an amused view of the intellectual dark web. Mostly, I think for myself. Thank you for your contribution. I think I saw one of your videos a while back. Did you ever shoot videos with a Crimson Tide poster in the background? It has been a while since I saw this, but I seem to remember the video was about some type of exploitation of black people/culture, and the add for an NCAA football factory was ironic. I am @chamblee54 on twitter, and fire my own shots from time to time. ~ How Jordan Peterson Misrepresented Bill C-16, Pronoun Use, & Free-Speech To Get Famous. ~ 34-year-old father in critical condition after shooting outside country club ~ Deputy airlifted to hospital after attack by suicidal woman, sheriff says ~ Why do people find Jordan Peterson so convincing? Because the left doesn’t have its own house in order ~ Warrant sheds light on DUI case of Cobb teen who fell from SUV ~ Robber wearing clown mask shoots Waffle House customer in neck, police say ~ 11 Surprising Facts About How Movie Box Office Works ~ voices matter bs ~ Here is your rule:” However, ad hominem (or personal) attacks will not be tolerated, nor will bigotry, racism, misogyny, homophobia or xenophobia.” Here is today’s comment: ” I have said before that these white people … ” Is it ok if a POC does it? That comment is racist, and a violation of your rules. Nate Eaton Please show me an example of when a person of color has made a “false alarm” call to police about white people just living, just being there, just existing. Maybe it has happened, but I have not yet seen it. As for your charge that my comment was racist, I call BS. I am white, but I don’t see “calling it as it is” in cases such as these racist in the least. You seem to be intent on turning logic on its head. Luther Mckinnon Why did you say they were white? We can see that from the pictures? Nate Eaton Since you apparently refuse to show me the requested example, please just go away. You’re proving nothing and adding nothing of substance to the debate. Luther Mckinnon I don’t remember adding myself to your group. This is not the first time you have annoyed me with divisive, logically challenged nonsense. I will probably remove myself eventually, unless you remove me first. This group seems to suffer from a lack of critical thinking. Nate Eaton I don’t remember seeing your name before. I did not add you to this group. If you don’t like this group or don’t find it worthwhile, then go ahead and leave. Your choice. Or mine. I don’t like to cut off debate, but you have not made any reasonable points. Your words reek of white paranoia, which I don’t find reasonable. ~ Just take it a bit easy with the rhetoric. There are plenty of people saying “racism is bad” at top volume. This does not help. ~ Sorry, this content isn’t available right now The link you followed may have expired, or the page may only be visible to an audience you’re not in. ~ added five hours later… Dave Ferreira Sorry to pile on, but Mr. McKinnon makes a solid point. As I’ve pointed out before, these group rules are tainted with socially acceptable prejudice. Why is misogyny expressly forbidden, but not misandry? I’m raising the point again because there was no real resolution — I let it go. Dave Ferreira Nate Eaton when you introduce race as an explanatory factor of a behavior, you’re almost guaranteed to be wrong. Race doesn’t determine behavior. Many other factors influence behavior, race is not one of them. It’s lazy-minded at best to fall back on race to explain a behavior. Dave Ferreira (It’s literally racist, but I’m being nice because I’m pretty sure you’re not a racist.) ~ Racists Don’t Like Their Racism Video Taped.

VALERIE: Roll the window up, ignore the taunting, put your car in reverse, back up to the front of the store, move a parking spot over.

DJT allegedly has been abortion baby daddy. Why is DJT taking pro life stance for public consumption, except that he thinks it will benefit him. DJT is the immoral heir to LBJ ~ @chamblee54 8. The Democratic/Republican duopoly driving America to the verge of race war with their divide and conquer tactics ~ does this skin make me look fat? ~ @wowprettylady i avoid family gatherings because they always ask why im single and i have to explain a million times that im taller than 90% of the male population and whenever i meet a shorter man i instinctively start using his head as a portable coffee table ~ i just had a weird experience… i was in a waiting room, and looked through a copy of people magazine. There was an article about Anthony Bourdain, which was obviously published before his departure. The last line of the story: I expect to die in the saddle. ~ Does the technical expertise of the Watson Institute include putting the light on Dr. Loury, so we can clearly see his face? Or is the sun lit trees in the background more important? ~ @spider_ramone The N-word is trending. In 2018. Thanks @realDonaldTrump, you malignant donkey taint. ~ @ggreenwald That Washington lacks bipartisanship is a transparent myth, sustained only by ignoring as non-issues the vast, highly ideological and profoundly consequential policies which both parties support with equal vigor ~ When you use a slur, against another human being, you hurt yourself more than you hurt the person you think you are insulting. ~ I just got a phone call from the Lucy McBath campaign. I told the gentleman that I don’t vote for candidates who call me on the phone. I did not mention that I have already received a call from the Kevin Abel campaign. ~ “it’s about leading all the other lost soles out there.” That is, I think, a typo. You probably meant to say soul, instead of sole. This may be a case where the typo is more true than the intended word. Man is presumed to have a soul, even if this soul cannot be measured or verified. We say that we feel it, and we probably do. However, the soul cannot be scientifically demonstrated. However, the bottom of your feet, or your show, is a sole. If you look at the bottom of your shoe, you will see a sole. Is a person who is walking, and not sure of where they are going, is that two lost soles? Maybe these are the lost soles we should be concerned with. ~ selah

We ask the question of whether one’s political preferences are manifested in the hand used while cleansing one’s posterior. We find compelling evidence from a sample of professional politicians in the UK (N=8) that this is most certainly the case.

Many felt the celebration should be July 2, the day the Continental Congress voted to declare Independence. Maybe it is time to make this a three day weekend, and celebrate Independence Day on the first Monday of July. ~ Mr. Reagan had just been elected, and there were rumors of a right wing reign of terror. I was in San Francisco for the Pride parade that year. I went into a donut shop early Sunday morning, saw the men, and thought they were in great danger. It turns out I was correct. ~ Dearest Billy Bob, This war is so confusing. Both sides preach one thing, and then do what they accuse the other side of doing. All anyone does is talk.

I was not familiar with the subtle points of the issue, but did think it was a good idea for people to have their rights. More than once, I did not trash talk black people sufficiently, and was called n____-lover. ~ I think that is satire. It sounds a lot like the *logic* I see on facebook every day, though. Freedom of speech does not include a requirements ~ World War One was what led to Hitler and communism. The european powers got into a power struggle, and killed millions of their citizens. Germany got Russia out of the war by exporting Communism. France and England won. Hitler told Germany how they could get even. ~ how to stay young ~avoid fried meats which angry up the blood, if your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts, keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move, go light on the vices, such as carrying on in society. the social ramble ain’t restful, avoid running at all times, don’t look back. something might be gaining on you ~ they play democrats against republicans while the wall street casino breaks the bank. they play black against white while while murdering children by remote control in yemen. they play christians and jews against muslims while g-d/allah weep. they play immigrant against citizen while jobs are flying out the window ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ this is the poem from last night at java monkey ~ selah

The two go to Ponce City Market, the beltline, Buckhead, and other trendoid spots we all know and, if not love, at least tolerate. They talk about hedge funds, and their adventures in moving money without creating value. Finally, they part ways on uneasy terms. ~ I am an Atlanta native familiar with setting of this story It was fun to listen to even if a lot of it did not ring true It is ironic for a *asian*-we never learn what country-to say racism about a buckhead dive bar bless Barry’s heart both Barry investor and Barry ex potus ~ Louie Frank Powell Frank Powell owned the cove, and a series of other bars in atlanta.

If you see something you want to share, you will need to go share it. While you are there, inevitably you will look at facebook, thus putting your peace of mind at risk. Like when two facebook friends shared a vile screed. What is the proper response to this? Say something, and get into a quagmire argument. Or just ignore it, and lose respect for the two men who liked this. I don’t want to be someone who hates others because of their opinions. The article says you should speak up, when it suits them. The good news is, the next poem I found in the archive addresses this issue.
it is is not about justice – it is having an emotional experience
that validates your privilege – the person judging you
is just as messed up as you are – it is is not about salvation
it is having an emotional experience – that validates your privilege

When You Insult People

Posted in Library of Congress, Weekly Notes by chamblee54 on June 18, 2018


David Bowie Memorialized in Traditional Japanese Woodblock Prints ~ twitter poem source ~ do it again ~ twitter chat @TylerMahanCoe If you talk shit on a band and someone tells you they met that band and the band was nice, tell that person that Ted Bundy was nice. @occultauralist Your band can suck and you can still be a good human being. Bundy was great till he got you in the car.‏ @chamblee54 Debbie Harry, of Blondie, turned down a ride by Ted Bundy @TheoRobertBundy Or I turned her down. Blondes are so passé. ~ @marcushjohnson I hate the “Liberal pundits criticizing Trump plays into his hands” narrative. Nobody said conservative criticism of Obama played to his hands. Their anger was treated as righteous not frivolous. Why? @chamblee54 It is not right or wrong, or equal treatment, but political strategy. Criticism of an incumbent usually plays into their hands. The more deranged the criticism, the better. I suspect somebody said that about Mr. Obama’s critics. And they would have been correct. ~ hollywood ~ model T ~ June Dobbs Butts Poetry Reading, July 17, 2016 ~ baldwin ~ Woman trying to burn flag arrested at Philly Pride, police say ~ “other two-bit rouge regimes” Typos can be so much fun. Rouge regime might be a good way to describe President Tiny Hands. In other news, up-and-coming celebrity Jordan Peterson is in town.

While looking for pictures, PG stumbled onto this video by alleged comedian Dylan Marron. They say “surface gestures are totally cool but they do nothing to dismantle systemic patriarchy” Could they be talking about Colin Kaepernick when they says this? When PG went to share that gem on twitter, he found this: @SheriffClarke “.@realDonaldTrump should invite JUSTIFY to the White House lawn for winning the Triple Crown. Justify is a WINNER like Trump who could care less about leftist identity politics. #MAGA” @ghostdancer2017 “Justify might poop on the lawn, but he would still be better behaved than some NFL players.” @JessicaHuseman “He knows Justify is the horse right” 444 words later, there is a post on chamblee54. It was impossible to focus on Mr. Franzen and Mr. Rose while posting this feature, which may not be a bad thing. ~ The FT incident this meme refers to was in New York . ~ If it is a witch hunt, why haven’t they found Kellyanne Conway? ~ @thibbye I clerked in an a C-store for a while before running it. I swore that it it ever caught fire I would lock the doors and make shadow puppets in front of the flames to the screams of the dying. The general public is a disgusting mass that you can only grow to hate. ~ There used to be a radio station, WPLO-FM, which was the most progressive station in town. When I was 14, I got my first radio that would pick up FM. One of the songs they liked to play was “Someday Soon,” by Miss Collins. I was shocked that she would say “damned old rodeo.” ~ @nihilist_arbys Hi.

Eat Arby’s. ~ If Kanye collaborated with Enya, they could call it EnyaKanye Now that ABBA is no more, we need a palindromic act ~ I just got a call from XXX XXXXX with the “Police Action Fund” He asked how I was. I said “Poor” He said to have a good day, and hung up. ~ Sign up for our Press Alerts which will keep you updated by email. Catholic League Press Alerts ~ Pessimist anagrams as piss is met Realist anagrams as ear list ~ The estate of former President Lyndon B.

Nice guys finish next to last. ~ Is the way Israel treats the Palestinians racism? ~ Mr. Chamberlain actually said “peace for our time,” not “peace in our time.” The statement, by Mr. Chamberlain, includes the phrase “peace with honour.” This is how Richard Nixon described the efforts to get the United States out of Vietnam. The Paris accords, the treaty that resulted from those negotiations, was a severely flawed agreement. ~ @tcboyle Because I am a pessimist. (Realist?) @chamblee54 Pessimist anagrams as piss is met Realist anagrams as ear list @tcboyle I do like the tone of this. How about an anagram for spread the love? @chamblee54 according to anagram generator spread the love anagrams as: pothead revels, phase revolted, hovel pederast, head overslept, develop earths, develop Hearst, develop haters, deprave hotels ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah

Some people feel so entitled to other’s time, space, and mental energy… ~ She repeatedly said that intent was not as important as results maybe the wording was off, but that was the gist of the message – now these nfl kneelers are saying it was not their intent to disrespect the flag, when it was obvious some people would take it that way ~ dialog Atonement as Activism Micah718 And that’s why being a white Jewish man I tell anyone who talks about my white privilege to kiss my a$$.

The wrestle of wrestlers, two apprentice-boys, quite grown, lusty, good-natured, native-born,
out on the vacant lot at sundown after work,
The coats and caps thrown down, the embrace of love and resistance,
The upper-hold and under-hold, the hair rumpled over and blinding the eyes;
The march of firemen in their own costumes,
the play of masculine muscle through clean-setting trowsers and waist-straps,
The slow return from the fire, the pause when the bell strikes suddenly again,
and the listening on the alert,
The natural, perfect, varied attitudes, the bent head, the curv’d neck and the counting;
Such-like I love—I loosen myself, pass freely, am at the mother’s breast with the little child,
Swim with the swimmers, wrestle with wrestlers,
march in line with the firemen, and pause, listen, count.
I knew a man, a common farmer, the father of five sons,
And in them the fathers of sons, and in them the fathers of sons.
This man was a wonderful vigor, calmness, beauty of person,
The shape of his head, the pale yellow and white of his hair and beard,
the immeasurable meaning of his black eyes, the richness and breadth of his manners,
These I used to go and visit him to see, he was wise also,
He was six feet tall, he was over eighty years old,
his sons were massive, clean, bearded, tan-faced, handsome,
They and his daughters loved him, all who saw him loved him,
They did not love him by allowance, they loved him with personal love,
He drank water only, the blood show’d like scarlet through the clear-brown skin of his face,
He was a frequent gunner and fisher, he sail’d his boat himself, he had a fine one presented to him by a ship-joiner, he had fowling-pieces presented to him by men that loved him,
When he went with his five sons and many grand-sons to hunt or fish,
you would pick him out as the most beautiful and vigorous of the gang,
You would wish long and long to be with him,
you would wish to sit by him in the boat that you and he might touch each other.
