Is No One Going To Say It?

Most nations on earth are in Instagram (IG), and it doesn't matter what color, status, class, background, age or gender.

IG has this feature where users can use filters to alter what they look like. Yes, this is the same girl above but what she actually looks like.

If we look at a few IG filters, such as the Make up vs. No Make up, the Internet vs. Reality or the Filter vs. Reality, we will notice IG users drooling over their "doctored" images and ashamed or upset over what they actually look like.

Not Surprising

But this is not what is bad about this phenomenon and our need to go viral culture.

What is both sad and mad is that social media has been added to our list of influences regarding what is considered as the norm or the standard for what is beautiful or desirable. Actually social media is the biggest influence.

Biased

The filtered or doctored images changes dark skin tone to light, wide, thick, flat noses to thinner, higher, thick eyebrows to thinner and it changes the shape and the color of their eyes, length of eyelashes and other special "make over" effects.

Cultures all over the world look at light skin, high nose, light color eyes, almond shaped eyes and anything they don't have as beautiful -- deciding their standard of beauty for them. 

Filter  vs  Reality

And this new culture starts them off young, kids now look at themselves as not attractive if they don't fall into this social media standard of beauty.

And it doesn't matter from what country, the "standard" of beauty is the same for everyone, however impractical or unattainable it is.

With everything else everyone is going through, adding this biased thinking and stereotype of beauty will add more issues into most people's already full plates of things they have to deal with.

IG, Tik tok, Reels, Shorts whatever we may call it, everything online and social media is promoting a bias and everyone is biased, even without admitting to it.

We don't need to, the demeanor and the facial expressions speak volumes.

Whoopi Suspended After Insisting Holocaust is Not About Race

First off, I didn't know The View is still on air. In fairness, I haven't watch TV in years,. Watched the news on TV for a handful of weeks as they were first reporting about the pandemic mandates around March of 2020. But quit watching even that.

Open Discussion

The View is a good television concept as they try to make it appear that people from different backgrounds and persuasions can sit side by side and talk about their views on whatever topic can make their ratings go up.

The issue though is that this is dependent on what agenda the TV station is pushing and who they are putting on as hosts.

Whoopi and other The View hosts have a long history of foot in mouth disease.

And I guess there is just so many times you can fit another foot in there without someone doing something about it.

Freedom

In America, everyone loves their freedom. But freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences.

Main stream media has focused on Whoopi's apology afterwards which is to be expected.

If you are like me and do not know what happened, let us watch the cringey moments and how the other hosts of the show were reacting to Whoopi's insistence that they were all missing the point of what the holocaust was really about. And that it wasn't about race because it was white on white

Racism

That was her point of view and she spoke about it over and over, insisting all the others have missed the real point -- the holocaust is not about race.

The point is she is assuming what Hitler and the Nazi leadership were thinking.

Color

And all of us were assuming what Whoopi was thinking too. Except we know what she was thinking because she said it not too many times. To her, race is about color. It really isn't surprising because we are all biased (whether we admit to it or not). 

But race isn't really all about color, white people of many European countries regard white people from other European countries, territories or other people groups as inferior to their own "race".

People of certain Asian countries think the same of people of other Asian nations or Asian backgrounds, the same as among people of different African countries and people groups, Arab groups, North American countries and South American countries, yes even if they all look the same and have the same skin color.

Offensive Topics

The holocaust has always been a hot topic and it still is. This is the same for many others which different people look at differently.

If anything though, the decision to suspend her is a good thing for television and The View.

For one, at least people would know that show still exist and two even though the real topic of their discussion was hijacked, I think it was basically about the banning of certain books in schools, people who are still watching TV now have the opportunity to hear that racism is not merely about skin color.

That and yes, there is only so many times a TV personality can say something wrong before someone will jump in and do something about it. Even though we know it is for ratings. 

We all have our own views but sometimes these views are only correct in our own minds. But we wouldn't know that unless we hear of other points of view from others who are from different backgrounds and different biases.

Man Beats Up A Lady And Onlookers Had No Urgency

Yes as we saw, at least a few bystanders walked over and tried to "help".

This man casually walked up to a lady pumping fuel to her car and then proceeded to mess her up -- unprovoked as far as we know.

Now people in this area will be profiling unknown guys walking towards them -- taking evasive action or a self defense stance mainly for safety reasons.

But then people will cry racism or discrimination. This saga will continue and we do hope people who know this guy would call the police so this guys can be arrested.

We shouldn't be afraid to do normal everyday things like a stop at the gas station.

Generalizing That All Non-White People Wants To Be White

"You're Never Going To Be White"

Anyone who wants to find out what is wrong with America only needs to watch this.

"You know that right?"

The peace officer should be given a commendation for showing restraint, respect and professionalism.

While a considerable portion of the American people have been calling for the abolition of the police because (we have to admit that) cetain members of the police are rotten, here is one reason to keep them.

As we saw here was one officer who was doing his duty and did it calm and collected under the barrage of verbal attacks and racial abuse and harassment.

And lady, here's a lesson for you, not all Hispanic looking individuals are Mexicans.

She's A Teacher

Hopefully she didn't teach any of her ideologies to her former students.

And no lady, not all non-White people wants to be White.

Pretty sure that now some Whites wish you weren't White.

Gives me reason to pause and remember that Hispanic lady who also got caught on video in a racist rant in a Torrance California park. She had a Hispanic surname and looks Hispanic but in her mind maybe she think she's White and worse that she own this land and wants Asians to go to the (bleep)ing Asian countries they came from. Well, we can all tell her to pack her bags and do the same.

Stereotyping

So to go with the way this "teacher" thinks, we should also generalize and stereoype her as well (do unto her what she wants to do unto others).

You give 'being White' a bad name (what a way to represent boomers, ladies and educators). 

And Karen if you are going to give an excuse in order to avoid getting a traffic ticket, a bad lie will not work and a racist rant against the peace officer who pulled you over is the worse thing to do. And lastly, calling all police officers murderers are not going to get you brownie points.

I can just see her excuse coming up shortly would be, she didn't take her meds that morning, that her sugar levels were either too low or too high, she was having an episode, she has a mental illness, she is scared of police or all of the above.

And no, no era racista ni estúpida.

#BiasedMuch

Here We Go Again

In America, whenever the topic of racism (against people of color) comes up, people of color have always said something like if you ain't of the right color then please refrain from commenting because you wouldn't know anything about what you're talking about. And pardon the saying, because frankly you don"t know jack. Yes, ask yourself, how would you?

Okay, okay, granted we know that the media, politicians and celebrities exaggerate, create a narrative or push an agenda. And there will always be people still gullible enough to think that those people are their friends. No they are not, money or power, that's their friends. 

It's Not Always About Race

So it's not always about race. But in America, more than half of the time IT IS ABOUT RACE or ethnicity or color. And the other times it is about sex, age, religion, status or disability.

Do not be naive, we all are biased about something or everything. It's human nature. There will always be some things that you prefer over another (whether you will admit to it or not is another matter).

Bias

And do not worry, in America and all other predominantly White societies, the bias is always against the non-Whites. In other cultures, say in China, then it is the billion Chinese people who are biased against the non Chinese. In India it is the billion Indian people against the non Indians.

Same in Japan, in the Arab world, in Israel, or anywhere else the dominant color or creed or ethnicity will lord it over those in smaller numbers. It's just how it is.

If you aren't in the minority, yes please sit down because you wouldn"t know anything.

Cards

Don't pull up your favorite go to "I was friends with Blacks back in school" card. Or your "My father-in-law is Native American or my daughter-in-law is Korean, El Salvadorean, Hawaiian" or whatever color they may be card. And please no "I grew up in a colored community and walked with them to school" card.

Come on, if you aren't those colors you wouldn't know how it is to walk in their shoes. In fact, none of you White people will trade places with a common normal looking Brown, Black or Asian person.

Would you trade places with any of these?

Okay maybe unless if it's a really rich, good looking and famous Black, Brown or Asian person. And still even if you could, you still will think long and hard to do so.

And please will any White male want to switch places with an Asian guy? 

Any one against Asians?  What do you think?

UC Riverside Professor: Heterosexuality Is 'Tragic'

Heterosexuality Is 'Tragic' according to University of California-Riverside Gender and Sexuality Studies Professor Jane Ward.

Ward is author of the book 'The Tragedy of Heterosexuality'. 

The UCR professor was featured in an Insider article titled, “Why heterosexual relationships are so bad for us, according to a sex researcher” and this is where she was quoted to have said that heterosexuality is "tragic." 

Also read article from Campus Reform.

Heterosexuality

So in case we may be confused with what she meant, let us define what is heterosexuality.

Heterosexuality is the romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between persons of the opposite sex or gender.

So this norm (of our biased society) since as far back as we and our forefathers can remember is now (as Meriam Webster defines the word tragic) regrettably unplesant.

Tragic

Other words for tragic are deplorable, lamentable, grievous, heartbreaking, regrettable unfortunate, woeful.

I see. And this is what our teachers are teaching us in school. If we are older, then this is what our school system is teaching our children and grandchildren.

Professor Ward has a lot to say about gender and sexuality and she'd written several other books about it.

She was quoted as saying: “It’s that straight culture is based in a presumption that men and women are really different kinds of people, that they want different things, that they have different interests, and that they are sort of opposite”.

So at least she said something that many will agree with.

Misogynistic

I understand that the feminist movement has fought hard for a very long time for gender equality, and in recent times society has tasted the fruits of their efforts -- some of them sweet, but others were sour.

When people born with a <bleep> --female reproductive organ will share a dorm room, bathroom, restroom, changing room and massage room with people born with a different reproductive organ and when the dividing gender lines between who can compete in individual and team sports and programs are permanently taken away, then let us come back to this discussion and see what would be more tragic.

A world without those long drawn dividing lines will spell the death of sport scholarships for people born with female reproductive organs and female sports in general.

Men and women are really different kinds of people, they are built differently,  they want different things, they have different interests and they have different strengths and weaknesses.

The Press Conference Where the Press Did Not Report Anything

Can't see it? Here's the youtube link: 

10 22 2020

Barely 12 days before the November 3rd Presidential elections, U.S. Veteran and Businessman, Tony Bobulinski held a press conference where he said he has evidence that he will provide the FBI and the DOJ indicating that Presidential Candidate Joe Biden knew about (son) Hunter Biden's and (brother) Jim Biden's business dealings and is a silent partner (silently taking a cut) with his son's and brother's dealings with the Chinese.

News Flash. Nobody is talking about this. Their reason? Your guess is as good as mine.

10 26 2020

Update: Mr. Bobulinski Explaining himself.

Can't see it? Here's the youtube link:

Still no denial, still a media blackout. Still no hard questions as no one is interested in getting the answers.
