Cry More, Please

Being the most sought after sex, race, and sexual orientation just isn’t enough it seems…

I hope I’m reaching out to a wide variety of White Heterosexual Males in posting this, because as one of you, I want you to know that I do not share your beliefs or ideas.

Just in case you haven’t noticed, you’re not being oppressed in any way, shape, or form. And you haven’t since the dawn of man.

Also, just a quick side note, did you forget Christian-Baptist and Regresso-Conservative in your title or did you want to hide your two-faced plot in all of that pathetic set of complaints that the average male tends to make? I’m sorry, but when I read through that poor excuse for your group’s orientation, I didn’t find anything that proved to me that you deserve to exist as a unity. All I read was: “Wah wah wah, I’m not told how awesome I am enough, and everyone else is getting that more than me!”

What part of white privilege haven’t you heard? What part of history has the white male spent being subordinated to women? And when has being straight ever put you in an unsafe position where you are afraid to even leave your house? Just because you don’t have some slaves following you out into the world and telling you that to be you is to be the greatest thing to ever fucking exist doesn’t mean that the world doesn’t treat you as such.

I’m tired of it, I really am. You have to have fucking balls to get out there and tell everyone that you’re doing this for “equal rights.”

“They have their support groups, but we don’t!” Piss off, you whiny bitch. When have you ever faced oppression in your entire life?

Were you oppressed when the slaves were freed? No. Were you oppressed when women achieved suffrage? No. Were you oppressed when gays came out of the closet? No.

But where you think you lost, you actually won. Because when these advancements in society came about in the so called “Land of the Free,” you got your bonus points, too.

When the slaves were freed, you were given the right to badger them to the point where it didn’t matter that they were liberated.

When women were fighting for their rights, you were given the right to push them back into the kitchen.

When gays started coming out into the public, you were given the right to kill them in the name of your God.

And most of all, you earned your freedom of speech that was and still is used to dehumanize every one of them so as to further justify the acts that are still committed to this day.

Don’t try to pass off your group as “Non-Oppressive,” the very fact that it even exists is all of you demonstrating your power as white heterosexual males to do what you say you are not, and that is to tell the world: “Fuck you, I don’t care about your problems, because I need my constant reminder every day that I am awesome for being white. I am awesome for being straight. I am awesome for being a dude.”

Grats, dickbags, a whole lot of effort to only show that you are the most pathetic beings in society.

Stupidity is no excuse; Ignorance is no excuse; And yet you’ve somehow put both together. It isn’t really hard, but hell, I felt like letting you know.

I hope you all feel proud in taking part of your ongoing brofest.
Perhaps you should change the group name to “Popped Collars Anonymous.”

Peace!

Don’t Wear Your Trousers Low or Pay $500

Don't Wear Saggy Pants in Flint, Michigan

Ok, so I said I was going to stick with sports and gaming… I lied…

Flint residents now have to watch their butts because Police Chief David Dicks is on the lookout.

Dicks, who took over the department last month on an interim basis, announced that his officers would start arresting people wearing saggy pants that expose skivvies, boxer shorts or bare bottoms.

“Some people call it a fad,” Dicks told the Free Press this week while patrolling the streets of Flint. “But I believe it’s a national nuisance. It is indecent and thus it is indecent exposure, which has been on the books for years.”

On June 27, the chief issued a departmental memorandum telling officers: “This immoral self expression goes beyond freedom of expression.”

The crime, he says, is disorderly conduct or indecent exposure, both misdemeanors punishable by 93 days to a year in jail and/or fines up to $500.

Dicks, 41, broke down his interpretation of the laws as such: Pants pulled completely below the buttocks with underwear showing is disorderly conduct; saggy pants with skin of the buttocks showing is indecent exposure, and saggy pants, not completely below the buttocks, with underwear exposed results in a warning.

I was lurking my usual skate websites and came across this article.  When the diagram popped up that showed they meant business, I dropped everything and threw down my pants to their “Indecent Exposure” level.  Now granted that only lasted twenty or so seconds, I think I made my point to myself.

My initial response to seeing this article was deciding to myself whether or not this was just a joke, because naturally, I’m just prone to falling for internet pranks.  But then I realized it’s not April Fool’s nor the month of April, so there, I’m awesome.

How can we be so concerned with the way we wear our clothing?  Now, I understand if like someone is literally showing off their booty or dick (and the minuscule amount of people who would be upset with seeing a pair of boobs), but really, to tell someone that they can be fined or jailed over showing their underwear is just…. stupid!   Because in saying that, you’re also telling women that they can’t wear spaghetti straps that show bra straps either, and to be perfectly honest, that’s not even being addressed in the article!  Once again, invisibly noting the gender barrier that is so powerfully embedded into society, but that’s another story.

The worst part about this article is reading that it’s a gang related topic.  Seriously?  What’s a gangster today beyond being a part of the largest gang organization in the country that is our police force?  We haven’t had a real one otherwise in over thirty years otherwise, and we have the tyrants known as the cops beating down these “thugs” over what is nothing more than drug possession.  Now, I’m not advocating that we get a revolutionary to rise up and spit bullets left and right until the police force is nothing more, I’m just saying that just because they “look” like a gangster, doesn’t mean they are.  So don’t tell me that they need to pull up their pants, ’cause you have to have some go-nads to think you’re any better than they are.

So, to the city of Flint, Michigan, read this, get angry at me, and tell me I’m a hippy liberal that smokes marijuana and does nothing all day, because I love it how we in the Midwest have such a liberal out front, yet we have some of the largest branches of the KKK, some very regressive leaders in office, and yet we smile to ourselves and say that we’re out to make a big difference in the world.

And that’s just me ranting about pants.

I’m Not Good at Intros…

Hello, Hello Everyone-

For those of you who are reading from me for the first time, my name is Geoff Christ. I formerly hosted two separate blogs on LiveJournal (under the username “geoffizzle”) and a skateboarding blog with only one post at BlogSpot (Blog Name: “God Bless His Herpes”). If you haven’t already noticed, I’m not great at introducing myself, so I’ll try to keep the details minimal for this post.

Geoff Christ of BlogosisI’m 21 years young as of the 24th of April this year, and as the skateboarding-blog-mention would point out, it is essentially my life in a box… or involving a box. I’m also a very dedicated gamer, and have been heavily influenced by so throughout my life. I graduated from Park Center Senior High in 2006 and spent a couple years at Saint Cloud State University; I’ll be finishing up at the University of Minnesota… long story short, transportation is not fun, and I didn’t want to put up with it another year at SCSU seeing as I’m a new driver.

I currently am facing an addiction with Taco Bell, so forgive me if I make a lot of references to how much I love cheesy gordita crunches and baja blast combinations in the future.

Ok, I’m tired of talking about myself- If you want to make friends with me personally, hit me up on the book of FACE… or Facebook for people who don’t follow funny all too well.

Geoff Christ’s Facebook

Looking over the topics available for me to post about, it seems like I’m gonna have a general focus on the gaming/sports stuff, but since my Homepage is set to Commondreams.org, I may as well link and perhaps put my thoughts out on some stuff that I find interesting in my future posts.

Feel free to hit me up with stuff you find out there in the internet world that I may not see. I generally lurk a lot of skateboarding websites, and my facebook is usually off the hook and open for business. Gaming sites are fun for me to look at, as well as lots of tech stuff, too. I’m a camera-guy, so if you see something that interests you that will likely interest me… HOLLA HOLLA HOLLA!

Peace,
Geoff

P.S. No, it’s not a typo, my last name is Christ, not like: “THAT GUY Christ,” just think: “Christmas but without the -mas,” and you have it.
