O.M.G!

I knew the libs couldn't let this be!

G-d In Heaven, First, Wildest Dreams is Taylor's Best song on the 1989 Album.

Second, That Music Video is fantastic (MUCH better than the butcher shop of Bad Blood with Kendrick Lamar)

Third, The Video is based in 1930's Hollywood est Location Filming Of course it is going to be set in period Clothing and people! GOOD LORD!

Tell me this is racist, I defy you!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdneKLhsWOQ

So what? No one in any sphere of society can say anything without offending someone. So what? Get over it, don’t listen to it and move on pansies.

Director Joseph Khan insists the video is a 'love story' and has no political agenda.

That's the problem. Everything must have a political agenda, even a freakin' Taylor Swift video.

It’s a damned video. A story. Set to music.

It is not a documentary. It’s not even real. It’s “make believe.”

Does no one have an imagination any more?

If they wanted an “accurate” period piece she would have been attacked, raped, and taken away to be sold into slavery.

But that would not sell records.

I agree. I liked it and for an older dame, I thought young Scott Eastwood (you know son of Clint) a real hunk! 😍

Hey, if it depicts minorities...it’s racist.
If it doesn’t depict minorities...it’s racist.
If it refers to minorities...it’s racist.
If it doesn’t refer to minorities...it’s racist.
If it’s produced by white people...it’s racist.

Only if the players, producers and writers are minorities, to the total exclusion of whites is it not racist...

Unless it is.

Let’s just simplify, if you’re white, you’re racist.

Their Only Weapon

A correspondent on Lawrence Auster’s site,

http://www.amnation.com/vfr/

commenting on republican Arkansas Governor Huckabee’s feeling that racism is fueling the anti-immigration sentiment, wrote:

“All he has to do is stand up there, give one inane comment after another and use the word that puts trembling in the hearts of the American people and shut them down. Racist.”

A cartoon I saw recently showed a Mexican-flag-waving illegal snarling at a white man, saying something like “Let me into your prosperous country, you damned racist xenophobe.” It captured perfectly the dynamic involved in the immigration debate: people who have no leverage other than guilt are using it to control us.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/8211/demanding8dy.jpg

What are they going to do the day that white people stop running from that word, “racist”?

I have begun, among my white friends, to acknowledge that I am a racist. I say, “If by racist, you mean that I think there are actual differences, genetic differences, between racial groups that have real consequences, then yes I am a racist. If you mean that I feel more of an affinity for people of my ethnic group, that I feel more comfortable and at home with them, then yes I am a racist. If you mean I put the interests of my people, my ethnic group, ahead of the interests of others just as I put my family’s interests over others, then yes I am a racist. But if by “racist” you mean someone who believes in genocide or slavery or hatred or oppression of other ethnic groups, then no, I am not a racist.”

I sense that many white people have had enough of being bullied with the “racist” label. But there are two ways of handling that accusation. One is to claim that you’re not actually a racist. This is the approach most whites take right now, but it hands all of the power over to the non-white person, who can then act as judge and jury on the evidence to decide whether the white person is a racist or not. The other approach is to say, “yeah, I’m a racist; so what?” There is no answer to that. If you prefer your own people and put their interests ahead of others’ without engaging in hatred or violence, what’s it to them?

Perhaps the non-whites and liberals are flinging the “racist” accusation with such vehemence because they sense that the white majority is losing patience. Their one tool, their one way of controlling white people, is losing its efficacy, so they ramp up the volume and the bitterness to try to keep the upper hand. Their worst nightmare is that white people stop flinching at the word because that will be the day that anti-whites (both non-whites and whites who scorn whiteness) lose their only weapon.

But while we need to assert that we, like every other healthy people on earth, are indeed “racists”, what we want to avoid this time is letting the pendulum swing back the other way into hatred. We don’t want another Hitler. We don’t want burning crosses. We don’t want oppression and injustice. We just want to assert our right to survive as a distinct people and to separate ourselves physically and politically from those who threaten our safety, prosperity, and unique identity.

The term “racism” was invented by communists. Leon Trotsky was one of the first to use it. When whites engage in favoritism toward other whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), it’s called “racism”. When other groups engage in favoritism, it’s called “ethnic solidarity”. When you buy into these word games, it’s called being a useful idiot.

Racist is an intresting word, after all who are the real racists? A person that loves their race, is proud of all it’s accomplishments, wants to live with their own kind and perserve their heritage. Or is a racist someone that is trying to destroy someones heritage through diversity, multiculturalism and race mixing?

The multicult condemns genocide as the ultimate crime while at the same time actively engineering the immigration-genocide of the entire white population of the planet.

You can’t do “period pieces” anymore because they’re not “diverse” enough, or white people were too racist back then so it’s therefore racist, or some such ridiculousness.

And if people ever come after Enya for singing about Africa, they're going to have to come through me.

I've been in love with her for decades...
