The classic ShatnerCadence(tm) doesn't really lend itself to rap so much but I love this whole series so...uppity-voteity.

The Cherokee Natives cloaked their irrational belief in sovereignty when they stood up against the first Democratic President, Andrew Jackson. Their armor was the US Supreme Court, the law of the land, but Democracy shown brighter that day and demonstrated to the uppity Engines they have no rights when the majority are whites.

Two wolves. One sheep. Democratically voting the menu of the day.

doublepromote for all to see. WTF check out the misogynist comments. It's like fucking youtube or some shit. Yeah, I am out for blood now.

Okay, you've had your fun being uppity. Know what else would be fun? Making me a grilled cheese. Mmmmm.

Upvote this comment if you love uppity women!

Or be an uppity internet nerd and go around telling people they're doing it wrong. "Hey stop posting Ron Paul videos! But hey, did you see my umpteenth Fifa World Cup video?"

Or maybe I can be an annoying hypocrite and moan and piss about some copyright owner taking down my free internet videos?

You're comparing the Civil Rights movement to dancing? Seriously? Black people had a hell of a lot more to lose than these morons. Slavery, Oppression, Murder... these are things worth changing. These are things worth protesting. These are things worth standing up against and taking risks to change.
Doing the cha-cha just does not compare.

Did you see the video where the white cops sprayed the black people down with hoses? Did you watch where they used their training and put snarling dogs on them? Where they had to enlist a large number of cops on the public dume to keep them uppity black people in line, thanks a whole bunch for that?
See, I can do that too.

Did you watch the prior video where instructions given by police officers were ignored repeatedly and the cops used their training? Did you watch this video where the cops were better trained and better prepared and used different tactics -- which included a huge number of police officers on the public dime, thanks a whole bunch for that?

These people in the video, on the other hand, are privileged cowards, well-fed comfortable cowards. They chose an easy target, with virtually no risk involved to their persons. They protest against some memorial or capital cops, hardly an intimidating foe in this circumstance; these cops are not going to crack their skulls for not complying.
Did you not watch the prior video where the cops were bodyslamming people?

I noticed that you did not answer my question as to whether you believed in the Constitution, the different branches of government, and whether you think there should be any laws.

You are one irrational man, blankie. Irrational.

You're technically correct. However, there are implied "shut ups" everywhere. Here's one, written in joke form:

Translation -- shut up now and get in the kitchen.

It's a joke. And it's a shut up.


>> ^UsesProzac:

Who told you to shut up? I ctrl-F'ed it and you were the only one to say it, three times.

I just am not comfortable trolling/trash talking/whatever you call it. It isn't my nature. I want to explain why I answered @blankfist so rudely.

I sent him the private PM below. He responded with the comment above, hours later. As I promised him, I responded in kind. It was his choice, not mine.

Sorry to inflict this silly battle of wills on the Sift. I am weary of this, as are all of you, I'm sure.

What I sent him and rottenseed (although rotten told me he didn't read it because it was too long. Maybe blank didn't either):

This whole sift talk was triggered by me being silent for 5 years about stuff that really bothered me, and finally having enough. (Well, and it was qualitatively worse a couple of days ago, that triggered it really.)

There is just no way that I am going to stay silent in the face of any trolling on this Sift Talk. I can't. I just can't.

I am getting weary of this, as are you, I suspect.

But I am also very very stubborn. And I have 5 years of silence built up. And there is No Bloody Way I am going to let one of you guys end this Sift Talk with a mean trolly dig at women.

Just so you know.

I once was on the Food Coop board of directors with a New York Jewish Lawyer. That was how he introduced himself to me, before we were elected, and he warned me that he would talk me down. I just looked at him and said, "You don't know me."

We became very good friends, argued for hours on various topics (outside of board meetings), and occasionally would remember our first meeting and laugh and laugh and laugh.

So here's fair warning. I am not going to let one of your troll "jokes" be the last thing on the Sift Talk Post.

New York Jewish Lawyer. I talked him DOWN.

You will not win this. This is my battle, my pent up frustration, my need to NOT be silent, not here and now.

I have already winced over several things on the Sift the past couple of days, the usual stuff, nothing to say, it is what it is.

But this Sift Talk. This is different. This is mine. You guys have the rest of the Sift. But this is mine.

Telling me to shut up is the very last thing you should be saying to me, if you really and truly want me to shut up.

Just so you know.... Fair warning.

Ah! The theme of racism returns!

Uppity is a word usually associated with certain people.

And so I get to say I TOLD YOU SO -- sexism and racism are similar!

Nanner nanner boo boo.

(Image of me dancing) I am right! I am right!!!
