Folding, spindeling, and mutilating lauguage for fun since Aug, 2004

Dear Amy,

God don't like ugly, and honey, that's just an UGLY way to talk.

It would be better if all people were able to consistantly make good decisions for themselves.  It would be great if people chose not to have children they can't support.  It would be lovely if all women could avoid hooking up with crappy men...

But there is a way to say that, and a way not to.  AFFIRMING the humanity of someone while critiquing their choices is generally the way to go.  Although, goodness knows, Ive screwed up a few times myself on that point.

You have a perfect right to talk about black women "sqeezing out litters" and you have a right to blame the victim when she gets shot by police...

...but other people have a right to point out that you are just being plain ugly.

You know, most people at some point in their lives say something ugly and when it's pointed out to them, they regret it and apologize for it.

Just a thought.

I know, how thrilling that you've got one person reading your blog. Sadly, it's just me, clicking on my technorati linkings and finding your silly P.C. ranting. Here's my response:

http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2008/08/13/is_it_racist_if.html

A couple of excerpts:

I use "litter" to describe the children of Catholic women and rich women and Muslim women in other blog posts here. It's about the number of the children not the race, religion, or socioeconomic background of the women.

The issue: The more children you have, the less care and attention you can give them. This is especially the case if you are a woman who is not married or in a longterm relationship with the children's daddy. It goes downhill from there when the children have multiple "daddies," all of whom are drug dealers.

Do none of you understand the value of a father in a child's life?

I have blogged before about my problem with the drug laws, and my problem with these drug raids. I think it's irresponsible of the police to go into a home with six children present with drawn guns to go after some piece of drug scum. But that's not what that post was about. I don't blog about every single issue in every single post. This one was about the way this woman's values contributed to her death and probably a terrible future for these kids.

I do think it's terrible she died, and I've said so. I've additionally said I don't believe it's every right to take a life, even of the worst scum: child-molesting rapist murderer. (ie, I don't believe in capital punishment.)

Furthermore, I've shown you three other examples where I call women who have multiple children the mothers of litters.

Finally, I've talked about a program that I have at an inner city school, my own program that I started, simply by calling a teacher and having her put me in a classroom to speak to kids one afternoon a month, in hopes of changing the cycle of poverty and terrible values -- like Tarika Wilson's terrible values.

That you persist in contending that I'm a racist in light of being shown these facts over and over and over again says a great deal about you...such as, that you seek to find racism where there is no racism; that you are probably just bone-desperate to do so. There's something sick in you and I suggest you explore that instead of flogging what's proven over and over and over again to be (see above) a dead horse -- the idea that I am racist.

I am white. I will continue to criticize anyone, white, black, or other, who has litters of children without daddies and lives with a drug dealer, imperiling her children and very possibly to very likely setting them up for lives of crime. (Don't children learn by example?)

Oh Amy,


Im so sorry. You're right I was horribly wrong to think you are a racist.

...if that's what I said...which it isn't. I said you were "Talking Ugly" which you were. The fact that you talk ugly about Catholics and Muslims too doesn't make the ugly things you said pretty.

"I use "litter" to describe the children of Catholic women and rich women and Muslim women in other blog posts here. It's about the number of the children not the race, religion, or socioeconomic background of the women."

The record stands corrected You are a MISANTHROPIST.

Happy?
Teresa
