Tomi Lahren: Outrage Barbie...please go away

(RawStory.com)

What would you get if you mixed Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Ann Coulter in a nifty Ninja blender? You'd get "Alt-Right" Princess Tomi Lahren. Like one of her ideological fathers, Bill O, Lahren was recently fired from her other daddy's Internet channel, The Blaze, but that doesn't mean she's gone quietly into that good night.
Tomi, like Ann Coulter, is a blond, (they say) attractive, white woman with a penchant for giving angry white men stiffies with her screeching about the war on White people, police officers, and, of course, all things Negro.

Tomi has appointed herself the far, far Right's spokeswoman where outrage is concerned. Her most inflammatory rants always seem to be ones in which she is taking a black man to task; most notably, her rants against actor Jessie Williams following his acceptance speech at the BET awards last year and Colin Kaepernick regarding is decision to sit during the National Anthem.




Her "anger," as contrived as it seems, boils over where Black Lives Matter is concerned. She has likened the BLM movement to the KKK on several occasions.



Like most overly privileged white woman, Tomi either doesn't know or doesn't care how her, to use her words, "mouth diarrhea" plays to those lacking her privilege. In fact, she like others, is often rewarded for their racial tone-deafness. Though her stint on The Blaze has come to an end, reportedly because she reveled in being the "Alt-Right Princess" and not because of her "pro-choice" comments in an interview on the day-time talk show The View, she won't go away. Like her ideological mother, Ann Coulter, being a blonde hate-speech spewing ideologue plays well in America. After all, isn't hatred much prettier when you dress it up?

Tomi has "faced-off" with the likes of The Daily Show's Trevor Noah and "urban" radio personality, Charlemagne Tha God, but these so-called confrontations left me baffled...briefly, and then completely overwrought. White girl magic did it again! Not only was she presented as "really a nice girl who doesn't really mean any harm," both men, BLACK men, seemed to be deferential to the point of gushing over this woman who feels it her "place" to tell them how to be men. As I watched both interviews, I wanted to scream! I determined one thing: Tomi needs to be called on her sh*t by a Black woman who will not go all "gushy" over her blonde hair and green-eyed evil self.

She, like Beck (who seems to be having some sort of mental and emotional crisis or change of heart -- he says he supports BLM), Bill "the Falafel" O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, and their ilk deserve no quarter. They are the megaphones of white hatred, and should be called such at every turn. These are the people who co-sign "average" white folks ignorance against black and brown people and make America, not great, but disgusting.

One can only hope, with her firing from The Blaze, Tomi will go back to being a regular white girl from the Midwest.

Republicans hate us...yes, all of us.

Recently, I have been doing a lot of reading on the Enlightenment and the great minds it spawned. The 19th century was a period of upheaval all over the globe. The collective mind was being challenged to separate superstition from reason. I find this period of history fascinating based on where we are as a nation currently. Of particular interest to me has been the thoughts of Karl Marx. (Yes, that Karl Marx) Without getting into the minutiae, Marx basically saw Capitalism as a severely flawed economic system. The basic premise is Capitalism is a system in which the worker is exploited by the Capitalist to the point of losing his individual freedom of mind and soul.  Relationships are based solely on monetary gains and losses, and the worker is generally always on the losing end. For Marx, the only logical outcome and solution would be for  workers (the majority) to organize and revolt against the Capitalists (the minority.) Such a revolt would be the only way to shift the ba...

Facebook Bra Color "Scandal"

I have had it with the hoopla over the Facebook Status update. In 2000 my 43 year-old mother died from breast cancer. When I saw the email on FB, it warmed my heart because at the very least, Breast Cancer was on the minds of those forwarding the message and changing their status. I gladly changed my status. My mother had a double mastectomy, but she had a wonderful doctor who helped her get bras that gave her "breasts" and she felt so much better. Everyday, as a young mother, I worry about my risk for developing cancer and I worry about the risk my daughters may face. Breast cancer does not only belong to those who have experienced it alone. It belongs to the mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, friends, etc. of us all, and any thing that will make it a topic of discussion is fine by me. Of course, changing your FB status won't resolve the cancer issue, but it will get young women talking about this very serious illness. When my mother developed breast cancer, there was...
