i don't think i ever mentioned this but when i was at rock the bells last year, i found a hardback copy of "the help" (minus the dustjacket but otherwise in perfect condition) lying on the ground in the middle of a field. I mailed it to my mother.

mostly tho the bizarreness is because of the conflation of neoconservatism with social conservatism in the Republican party, right?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 23:16 (twelve years ago) link
the (un?)intended implication of the sum of those arguments is that the modern west has arrived at something close to the exactly perfect status of women. feminism too hot, islam too cold, women voting and driving but making 70c on a man's dollar, just right.
― goole, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 01:39 (twelve years ago) link
well we also had the exactly perfect status of women 50 years ago or 20 years ago. and, assuming things trend in positive directions, we will 20 years from now.

Should note this is part of a full show dealing with bigotry, which I haven't seen, and ymmv with the 'jokes'/character on display here but it makes a similar point to some of the above discussion, might be worth a watch.

One time I accidentally did a very racist stand-up comedy karaoke bit.
I was at karaoke w/ pretty much the whole ChiLX crew (La Lechera, Jenny, Jeff, jaymc, Eazy, et al.). I don't sing at karaoke, but I saw that they had a bunch of stand up comedy tracks and I selected "Celebrity Humor."
When my turn came I was confused b/c the jokes were about race. I was confused and also horrified because it never occurred to me that I could stop what was happening and I couldn't believe that I "had to" do this bit.
Most of the jokes were relatively mild - e.g., the Irish sure have a lot of kids, Italians sure are Catholic - but some were worse (Chinese couple's misunderstanding re "69" being a sex act/General Tso's Chicken).
I interrupted myself a couple times to say "Holy shit! This is terrible!" and finally when it was almost over, it dawned on me that the show didn't have to go on. I think I announced the mix-up and tried to erase my performance with babbling.
Then I went back to the bar and chugged a bottle of beer, which turned out to not to be the one I had been drinking, but one the stranger standing next to me had set down for a second.

The karaoke operator apologized like crazy and bought me a drink. He said he didn't even know that he had any joke tracks, which is plausible since they were a small section and not something anyone would choose on purpose - stuff like mother-in-law jokes, sports jokes, and "Jewish humor".

Those comedy tracks were in the dusty chest in the attic of the karaoke menu. They were on pages tucked into the pocket of the binder. It was like they were an ancient trap set by Nathan Bedford Forrest's ghost, meant to touch off the great race war.

It's good at what it does - it's a show about (amongst other things) racism, by a white guy in a toothbrush moustache, to an audience he is addressing as all-white. If you liked that, this is good at that. The joke in the clip is probably the best thing in it - but then I love the joke in the clip a lot (but haven't ever told it to anyone).

circling closer to what i mean, i feel like anti-black racist ideology necessitated the birth of "whiteness" in america.
