Chit, it's too stupid not to be true
« on: July 28, 2011, 10:32:10 AM »
I got this via e mail....so I don't know if it is true....but it sure is funny.



just when you think you have heard all of the stupid things that are going on in the US -- this comes along...
Black hurricanes....

Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about. A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names.

She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaquille, and Jamal. I am NOT making this up!

She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.

I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, that's too hard to understand.

I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says...

Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo ass like Leroy on a rocket!
Bitch be a category fo'! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE sh*t.

Woeisha.  Woe-eesha.  Woe-is-ha.

Woe is me.

I can likewise guarantee that the first time one is given an obviously "Afro-American" name, there will be complaints about associating their names with something unpleasant and negative like hurricanes.

It is true that Sheila complained about huricanes not being named with african centric names. But, hey, she is a MORON, with a capital 'MO'!

Yeah, I remember this from a while back - a few years ago if my memory serves.

The cultural legitimization of ghetto depravity is a scourge on this nation. It enslaves Blacks to generations of immorality and substandard existence, never recognizing that they are trading their human potential and dignity for the advancement of Leftism.

There are also Americans named Xiu. Or Olafur. Or Mwai. Or Pratibha.

Shall we force the National Hurricane Center to give an obligatory hat-tip to all these as well, since they're Americans too?

Or should we just tell the pathetic whiners that this is the frikkin U S of A, and to get used to traditional American names for the frikkin hurricanes? Yes, I think we should.

For crying out loud, you'd think there was never a Black named "Katrina" before. We should name the next one "Sheila", and then point out to Ms. Lee that we finally named a hurricane after a Negress.

Gunsmith works with a Quang.  Born here, parents from South Korea.

Once upon a time .... wait, lemme pull over my soapbox ... okay ...

Once upon a time, immigrants (came here legally) and gave themselves American nicknames because they wanted to blend in as Americans, and they formally named their children American-sounding names.

Today?  Pfffft.

Hell Pan, not only that... If you go to China and interface with anyone who deals with americans on a regular basis, they'll take a Western name just to make it easy to interact, so you don't have to stumble through figuring out how to pronounce "Xiu".

And that really gets to the heart of the matter, doesn't it? English is the language of the civilized world, and accommodating English - incorporating it into the myriad facets of life on planet earth - has been the norm for many, many decades.

Ms. Jackson Lee and her ilk are galled by that fact, and are working to see it undone.

Seems to me they have a staunch ally in the white-house.

I'm not sure how "Quang" is actually spelled, speaking of "Xiu"; I wrote it phonetically.

And to your point, Gunsmith's employment involves dealing with India and several other countries, and they, too, give themselves American names to smooth interaction.

Ironic, how Obama was Barry Soetero when he wanted to fit in and became Barack HUSSEIN Obama when the exotic became trendy.

If I'm not mistaken, Sheila Jackson Lee is the one who asked a NASA administrator if the Mars rover photographed the flag planted there by the Apollo astronauts.
