Colourism ~ A Taboo Subject Too Far

There has been the usual white angst driven PC crappola on the web sites about the fact that fairer (whiter) skinned black women do better in show business than dark skinned black women. Frankly it made me laugh, because as usual they couldn't bring themselves to really say what the underlying issue is.

Skin Lightening Products Sold In Asia And African Diaspora ......

It isn't that white people are less discriminatory against paler toned black people .... it is in fact an internal colour prejudice within the black and Asian communities.

The Viking In The Machine

Or as I could have said 'Juti ex machina' ("A Viking from a machine"), if you'll excuse my pig Latin .... Ingvar Orn Karlsson or as he is now known 'The Berserker', is a firefighter in the southern Biskupstunga area of Iceland. He was/is also the local candidate for the Nytt Afl (New Power) political party, in the 26th of May elections.

The Last Berserker ....

Unfortunately for him, he's not able to control that Viking ancestry as well as is expected of modern politicians these days, and was asked to step down from his candidacy for the Bláskógabyggð municipality.

Stupid Prats

There's no doubting that the Arab world is more full of idiots than most. Their lawyers are no exception to the hyperbole that surrounds a world view, in which wild life is considered to be Israeli spies. They believe that every event is a plot against Islam and Muslims ....

Arab World Conspiracy Theories Are Sign Of Their Mindset

... Heck, half of them think it was Zionists or US who attacked the twin towers in New York on 9/11 (or at the very least, organised it using gullible Saudi boys).

Backside Backfires

In North Korea it is virtually a death sentence to defile or damage any images of the leadership, especially images of the Kim family.

Don't Dis The Kim's

Similarly, this is the case in the other despotic regimes around the world.

Battle Cry Of Backwardness

Why do Jihadists think that shouting the term "Allahu Akbar" ("Allah is greatest" in Arabic), just before you murder someone, is a good advert for the self-styled 'religion of peace'?

A Believer In Peaceful Religion ....

Because of course there is little peace in Islam (which is also the term used for 'submission') these days, if there ever was .... so only the most blinkered optimist has ever interpreted it as peaceful. Except possibly in the context of 'as peaceful as a morgue'.
