True. That explains Tiger Wood and Obama. But here you had two minorities, both part black, one part Japanese. If everything else were equal, Japanese and black would trump black and white. After all, they were put in internment camps and had nuclear bombs dropped on them. But Serena Williams starts in with how she’s fighting for “civil rights and stuff” and this somehow makes her opponent’s victory hollow, because one of the three points she beat her by was a questionable call. So Osaka and Williams are both being jeered and they’re both crying as Osaka gets the prize. Totally weird.
It reminded me of two kids who had a wonderful time, and after a day at the fair they’re both crying and fighting. It was sick. But at least Williams got punished, and they didn’t go so far as to take the award away from poor Osaka. Again two kids at the end of an outing presents itself to me. Where have all the grownups gone?
I remember grocery stores in the old days:
You gave money, got groceries. At Whole Foods and many other businesses today, there is a final step before paying (this has been fodder for South Park): You are asked to donate to The Whales, or what have you.
That's fine, but...more and more we are confronted by social causes in non-traditional venues.
And there isn't just one cancer lapel pin, there are TONS of them. I'm ribboned-out, lapel-pinned out.
And I don't get why a tennis player disputes a line call with shibboleths about "fighting for women's rights" and stuff about her daughter. The ball is in or out, yet there is a high-volume discourse about her family members, somehow.
And that reminds me of Rush's football game predictions based on lib political analysis of mascots; a Titan smashes trees underfoot, but then a 49'er pollutes rivers via gold panning, and if we weight these two against each other, etc...
It seems his humor is not far of the mark, with Serena a former slave, yet Osaka for her part was interned and then A-bombed, etc.
