I've reached that happy stage in life where I'm like the bewigged judge at the Old Bailey: "Who are these 'Beatles' to whom the defendant refers?"
"I believe they're a 'popular beat combo', m'lud."
So I have no very clear idea who Amy Schumer is. Never knowingly seen or heard her. But I understand she's boffo with the millennials, and one must respect a hit. So I was interested to see turn up in my inbox this headline from Salon:
Amy Schumer's one tweet that captures the Rachel Dolezal controversy
Naturally, I clicked. And this was it, the Tweet that singlehandedly "captures the Rachel Dolezal controversry":
Oh, no, wait. First, "the editors" (for this appears to be a Salon editorial) preface the Tweet as follows:
Leave it to Amy Schumer to sum everything up.
Gotcha. So now here's the Tweet that is the grand summation of l'affaire Dolezal:
Wait, we can be black if we want?

Seems to me that this new trans-racial thing would completely eliminate racism.
Blacks can be both black and white, whites can be both white and black. There’s nothing left to complain about.
Rumpole: Your Lordship, he’s making my client out to be some sort of James Bond!
Bewigged Judge: James Bond?
Rumpole: A character in fiction, M’lud, who spends an inordinate amount of his time sleeping with air hostesses.
Bewigged Judge: Well let’s confine ourselves to the facts in this courtroom.
Hey, if Lieawatha can self-identify as American Indian, why can’t RD self-identify as Black? After all, Korben Dallas self-identified as a meat popsicle
I now recognize the source of all my stress and consternation. I am a young handsome billionaire trapped in a poor old body. Today, I’m buying me a $2.2 million yacht and after loading it up with the finest wines and booze, the best food and a bevy of beautiful nymphs, I’m off around the world.
I play sax and guitar in a local beat band. Is it possible for me to self-identify as black while I am playing horn and as white while strumming the guit? I wish to be Charlie Parker and David Gilmour. I think I will change my band’s name to The Oreos.
>> Theres nothing left to complain about.
Oh I can always find something to complain about.
But I do know that on the next census form, I’m going to put down “transracial ambiguous” where they axe for Race.
I’m looking forward to it. :-)
As a bonus, I may put down “cis” where they axe for gender.
Yeah....I can say I feel like Donald Trump but it don’t make me rich....
You’re also trapped in out of date thinking. You won’t get much of a yacht for 2.2 million dollars now, more like a large rowboat.
Hey, I’m 5’6”, weigh in at 320 lbs. and I’m skinny!
Oreos have been trans racial for sometime now
That was one of the best TV shows ever.
hahahahahaa
My sandals self-identify as sneakers, so they’re more comfortable being worn with socks. Take that, fashion nazis!
