I mean, I’m doin’ alright and all, but to be able to just leave a totalled McLaren and be glad I walked away is still too much like rich for me.
and I and my siblings gained from her good choice of mate.
And my siblings are carrying on that tradition, and are raising wonderful, fairly well adjusted and very well educated children who will likely be successful and carry on the tradition of raising intelligent, well educated, well adjusted children.
And so on and so on and more of that.
Not so in many families. And this we can, indeed, blame on Mothers. Good (or bad) choices of mates makes for successful (or not) children in most cases.
This is indeed a part of culture of white privilege, (and/or not) in many cases in white other “less successful”/downtrodden cultures here in America. Part of setting your children up for success. Or not.
So even though the Swiss don’t have a “Gun crime problem ” (hint: the US doesn’t either if you don’t count the mostly “ethnic” parts of Liberal Large Cities…..South side of Chicago, etc.) the EU and their ever intrusive Statist Bureaucrats are pushing for even more gun control in Switzerland…..
And the Swiss have said “Fuck You…we like things just the way they are”
This ougha get, as Kenny said, “interesting”…… I think this might be a line that the Swiss won’t let be crossed.
This article was found over at Ken’s place, BTW.
I mean, just because someone insists that one be a customer to sit in a restaurant and take up a table, or someone gets tossed out of a restaurant because one is fighting, or cannot behave….Or claims racism because they aren’t shown deference BECAUSE they are black….
I mean, I dislike and speak out against racism when I see it. (and, rarely, I DO see it). But the other side is folks who DEMAND special treatment….and when they don’t get it, try playing the race card. Sometimes one is mistreated simply because one is an ass….
I’ve been mistreated on many occasions by black or hispanic employees of businesses. They would fail to see me and take the black or hispanic person behind me. Part of living in our society. I would wager that there are more racists (for sure percentage wise) in this country who are black than white. Probably the same for Hispanics too. You don’t hear whites crying, we simply either deal with it, or go somewhere else to spend our money. (And because it isn’t worth it to try to file a lawsuit…..which is, in itself, discrimination)
But my point is that someone is behind this push for stories and op-ed pieces that have suddenly proliferated…
Is it because they plan to use race (again) as a divisive topic in the upcoming election? Is it because support for Trump and the Republican Party is fairly high among our darker citizens?
For whatever reason, Race is becoming a hot topic. I do believe that the Starbucks incident was orchestrated simply to give a base for the rest of these stories. Those men chose to be arrested, they could have stopped the process many times along the way bu coughing up $4 for a single drink…or leaving when requested after refusing to become customers. And now we have a proliferation of articles claiming other restaurants are racist. (really? 4 ATTEMPTED suits in 40 years? That’s all you got?)
So Who…..and Why?
I stopped believing that they were anything but theater about 10 years ago….once I started paying attention.
If you think that the images of the violence and the “Victims” (women trying to use the cloth of Hijabs as facemasks to filter teargas? Really? I’d think they, of all people, would know better….and why are muslim WOMEN protesting?) are anything but theater and staged by and for the media, you are a fool.
Send a few bucks, if you can, to offset the failures of the British National Health System and the bureaucrats who run it and fund the care of children. I mean, to misquote Maggie Thatcher: “They are running out of other people’s money”
Remember, this will be the fate of you children and grandchildren soon.
And I wouldn’t expect much care as you age, either. Pretty much Ice Floes for the likes of you and me. Even though we are funding most of Obamacare, they will spend all of it on folks that won’t work and simply use, not contribute….so they gotta save money somewhere……

I hope this day is special for you.
Stone construction.
3+ acres.
Modernized in the late 80’s…
$222 Large. Such a deal….
only one issue:
I was in Flint about 15 years ago…It was like a WAR zone in spots.
The (ahem) more affluent, non minority suburbs were ok, but Flint proper was terrible. Sometimes only one unburnt (or still standing) house in a 4 block area.
Graffiti abounded. At dusk, the cops suggested that I might not want to stay in the area….I was not safe there…..mostly cause I wasn’t a part of the neighborhood, but also ’cause I was white.
But hey, there is a bargain home just waiting for someone.
So some woman got pulled over for speeding…
And then, went on Facebook and tried to play the Race card ‘Cause she is Black and the Cop was white.
She was, apparently, combative with the officer when she found out she was gonna get an actual ticket for 70 in a 55 zone.
“It doesn’t matter how polite you are, it’s all sick, crazy bullying and the police are ridiculous,” Hilton-Williams says in the 11-minute video, at times wiping tears from her face and speaking in a frightened tone
and then this:
“I have had a traumatic experience and I want the people who are not African-American who know me to really get where we are coming from,” she says. “When I saw the police pull up behind me, the state trooper, I was immediately afraid.”
“This is the area I’m in,” she says, panning the camera around to show the rural roadway. “In the middle of, this kind of stuff. This is where I am, so it’s not like I’m not afraid, because this is where we got lynched.”
Yeah, ’cause lynchings happen nearly every day of the week these days…….
At the end of the day, the cops BodyCam shows he was professional.
