Mimosa, Bloody Mary, nice flute of champagne — or maybe a favorite tipple in your coffee. Make yourself one and join me at our own Algonquin Round Table, the spirit of Dorothy Parker abides.
Happy Sunday, dear friends! And a Happy St. Patrick’s Day. And while many of you discovered that Punxsutawney Phil lied his little furry tuchus off, keep the faith that spring is around the corner. Grab a flute of champagne (no no no, I will not color it green) or an Irish coffee and partake of a brunch with Irish offerings; soda bread, scones, clotted cream, baked beans, sausage, eggs (any way you want), hash browns and more! You’ll definitely need a nap before evening partying. Do gird your loins as this past week is still featuring the Leftwing bedlamites engaged in the behavior we’ve all come to expect. They don’t even take Sunday off. Lift your glass and let’s get to it. Sláinte!

Who knew that :::checks notes::: landscape paintings are white supremacy?
The Fitzwilliam Museum has suggested that paintings of the British countryside evoke dark “nationalist feelings”. (snip)
The new signage states that pictures of “rolling English hills” can stir feelings of “pride towards a homeland”.
Let’s pause for a second and consider that these obsessive, woke prigs are the same humorless scolds who insist on land acknowledgements in word and plaque at any place some hunter-gatherer may have pitched a tepee for a couple of months. But the English of pallor looking with love and pride upon their own nation’s countryside is problematic?
Via David Thompson who adds:
The problem, we’re told, is that paintings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are “leaving very little room for representations of people of colour.” And obviously, even the past must be made “inclusive and representative.” Which seems to mean that we must all pretend that our islands’ population and cultural assumptions have always looked like those of, say, twenty-first century London, a city whose demographics bear little relationship to those of the country as a whole, even in the twenty-first century.
Londonistan is now only 35% problematically yte and has the same issues as other parts of Europe overrun with migrants who were never interested in assimilation into the culture they demanded access to. Even Jews face no-go zones in London, with nothing in response but anemic lipservice along with some finger wagging — at Jews — to stop shoving their faces into the fists of melanin-enriched Jewhaters.

She says she doesn’t hire white people because they’re unsafe and it’s hard to work with them and only hires people of color.

Of course, this is entirely illegal. But she seems to feel free to discriminate and brag about it. Her casualness in expressing such racism says more about the cultural/work environment she lives in than anything else.

I’m not sure exactly, but in my humble opinion this faction of black folk invented everything started in the 60s with the Black Panthers and other black supremacy groups. (looking at you, Louis Farrakhan) Here we have a writer who usually dabbles in critical race theory :::natch::: working overtime to make Blacks part of pivotal moments of Japanese history.
I ask the question now that I naively didn’t ask in 1980. Where are the Black people?” he adds.
In Africa, that’s the short answer. But no, Spivey isn’t done. He goes on to claim that there absolutely were black people in Japan in 1600 and some of them were Samurai warriors.
“I don’t ask out of a desire to see representation when it wasn’t historically accurate. I inquire because there were Black people in Japan in 1600 and before, though Japan could teach Florida a thing or two about rewriting history,” he claims.
Spivey continues,
“According to multiple sources, one of the early real-life Shoguns, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro (758–811), was Black, though denied by others. There is a consensus he was something other than pure Japanese, and he is often considered descended from the Ainu, the darker-skinned indigenous people of northern Japan who were subjected to forced assimilation and colonization.”
Not content with that unverifiable and inaccurate claim, he made up a ‘Japanese’ proverb, that goes “For a Samurai to be brave, he must have a bit of Black blood.”
Note Spivey’s capitalisation of the word ‘black’. This proverb, if it exists at all which it likely doesn’t, is not referring to black people, but rather darkness of the soul.
We’ve recently witnessed a sub-Saharan Cleopatra and the 69-year-old Denzel Washington cast as the 20-something Carthaginian general Hannibal.
If more people were well-versed in actual history, this kind of cultural rewrite wouldn’t be so darned cringey. We could just point, laugh and ignore. Sheesh!

This is where all the ACAB/defund-the-police/Soros-pro-criminal-DAs ends up. Where the law-abiding work and criminals take. No middleman needed in this real-life example of “To each according to his *need*, from each according to his ability.”

It’s not like this is a one-off or confined to only one law enforcement agency. For decades, crime stats have included the race of victims and perpetrators. What better way to increase the number of whites in the perp column by :::cough::: mistakenly list the more melanin-enriched as “white”. Like the farce of George Zimmerman being reported as a “white Hispanic”. Or like this:

If facts won’t support the narrative, change the facts. Truth has never been a Leftwing value.

I can’t help myself. This was one of the most enjoyable movies of the past 10 years and you can’t just help tapping your foot along with this song.

When inspiration meets a lot of perspiration:
11-year-old Harrison Johnson from North Carolina has raised $81,000 to help fund history projects to tell the story of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The money was raised by collecting donations door-to-door, selling patriotic popsicles, and public speaking engagements (yes, by Harrison himself). (snip)
Following a visit to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Oahu, Harrison was motivated to start a campaign to ensure that the heroes and victims of the date which will live in infamy are never forgotten.
Bravo, young Harrison! May you reach your goal of $100,000. I predict a bright future for you, young man.

Our Sunday together has come to a close. However, the rest of day remains to be enjoyed in laughter and camaraderie.
“May green be the grass you walk on, May blue be the skies above you,
That pure be the joys that surround you, May true be the hearts that love you.”
See you next Sunday! Cheers!

Royalidiot says: One of the most interesting developments of the week also came from Canada. Seems that the Trudeau Cabal is trying to enact legislation that would make it legal to jail it’s citizens for daring to criticize the government………..How fascist of them…..
Cameron says: Regarding the “Shogun” remake.
The We Wuz Tribe is getting more and more desperate and they’re going so far as to use AI image generation to prove their arguments. And the ONE example of a “Black Samurai” falls apart after basic historical records.
NTSOG says: “… paintings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are “leaving very little room for representations of people of colour.”
Who constituted the indigenous people of England? That would be Caucasians including the Celtic Britons, the Picts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Gaelic Scots, Norse, Danes and the Normans. I’m not sure where the Welsh fit in, but they deserve a mention just for their skills in archery, male choirs and Bryn Terfel.
Apparently indigenous rights and values only apply to people who are not Caucasian. Note that the list includes the Romans who invaded England but did not control the far North as the northern natives were pretty savage. Later came the Vikings and Norsemen, both groups prone to a bit of rape and pillage as well as slaving.
GWB says: But you’re leaving out Ireland. The Tuatha de Dannan and the Fomorians might have been Black. I mean, they were mythical, so they could have been. Right?
And there’s that honorary Arab Viking dude. I saw a documentary about him, I think. Right?
GWB says: evoke dark “nationalist feelings”
I thought using “black” and “dark” to signify problems or bad things was RACIST? Are we not doing phrasing anymore?
Of course, this is entirely illegal.
Not that it necessarily should be. I believe in real freedom of association. But if you’re going to make not discriminating a law, it has to apply across the board.
black folk invented everything
This is a Marxist thing. Does no one remember Chekov’s “We Russians invented that” all throughout ST:TOS? And then continued with things like “Shakespeare is best in the original Klingon.” (BTW, it’s also a Chinese thing. It’s part of appropriating everything for the glory and power of the Emperor of the Universe.)
there were Black people in Japan in 1600 and before
Sakanoue no Tamuramaro (758–811), was Black
Ummm, there’s a 1,000 year gap there. A lot can happen in 1,000 years.
This proverb, if it exists at all which it likely doesn’t, is not referring to black people, but rather darkness of the soul.
And here we go with the racism of using ‘black’ for bad and nefarious, again. /eyeroll/
a campaign to ensure that the heroes and victims of the date which will live in infamy are never forgotten
Kudos, young man. Bravo Zulu.
