Fragile White People

Submitted By: runnawaytrain1@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
I just checked my hate mail for the week. As best I can tell, the folks who send me hate mail are:
A. Hateful
B. Unable to write anything intelligent enough of to post on BBQ for the rest of ya’ll to read.

Someone wrote to me suggesting that I am racist because of my “Jamal” story.

For those interested (If you are not interested in this, don’t read it), a recap. I walked into an eye doctor apt. in Wokeland and the receptionist asked if I was Jamal. (I am very obviously white). I answered “Do I look like Jamal?” She replied “Well you never know these days.” I said nothing, but smiled at the other receptionist who was smiling and sorta laughing at her idiot co-worker. What I didn’t say was “Actually, you can know these days, as rationality and common sense are not time-sensitive.”

For that post above, a hate-mailer accused me of being racist.

I bet that hate-mailer couldn’t handle five-minutes at a black bar in NoPo! He’d be crawling in his honkey skin!

I have the CD below, and I listen to this song weekly or so, it’s in my play-often stack. I bet this song scares the hell outta the honkey hate-mailer accusing me of being racist. Give a listen, does it make you uncomfortable? If so, you are a fragile white person:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNahqMd2dPE

The black stripper I got a lap dance from last week doesn’t think I’m racist.

Nor does the black lesbian stripper I met a month ago who voted for Trump. (Seems like some of ya’ll whiteys are behind the curve on some (a lot!) of the political stuff.)


The two black strippers who I brought to Hawaii for my 50th birthday don’t think I”m racist.

Nor do the dozens of Muslims I sat with two days ago for their Eid celebration. (For all the honkeys who don’t know, Eid celebrates the end of Ramadan.)

I met a black woman with the last name Stokely last week. Unlike a lot of fragile whites out here, she knows about geo-engineering. She hopes now that Trump is in, Democrats will wake the hell up. I asked her if she knew of Stokely Carmichael. She said yes. I then asked about Huey P. Newton, she knew of him, and I mimicked what Huey always ended his talks with: “I AM…A REVOLUTIONARY”. I then told her about the Huey P. Newton Gun Club. She is blind (which is why I was driving her) and said ‘you don’t want me shooting a gun.’

Here is a great test to see whether or not you are a closet racist, as I suspect of the fragile whites who have accused me of being racist. Does this song scare you? It’s on another CD I listen to regularly. (I went to a talk by the singer Chuck D. at UMASS thirty years ago):



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrFOb_f7ubw&list=LL6LGeigL6ItCHy_R15nyOtg&index=72

But the ultimate test lies here. Can you listen to this entire song? If not, you’re a fragile white honkey! (It’s okay if you need to turn it down so the neighbors don’t hear it, we understand. Just see if you can make it to the end.)

Jeff’s doing a (short) honey “pop-up” on THURSDAY!!!

HI FOLKS! It’s been a little while since I’ve had the chance to do a roadside “pop-up” appearance in north Tillamook County – and this THURSDAY (April 17th) marks the first of hopefully many in a new spot – immediately next to Handy Creek Bakery (63 N. Highway 101) on the north side of WHEELER. Hours will be short for this one – count on me from at least 12-3 pm – with quart jars of the lovely raw Yaquina River-area Blackberry Honey ($30 each) as a feature – but there will be other varieties of honey in pint jars – real maple syrup from the small farm in northern Vermont, gift packages of honey from Oso farms too. Questions? Special requests? Pre-orders? Contact Jeff soon if need be – via text to my cell: 208-424-0042 – or e-mail: jwmerc@gmail.com – we’ll see you this THURSDAY next to Handy Creek Bakery in WHEELER from at least 12-3…JW

A sad moment for our local Anti-vax Patriarch: RFK Jr (putative Secretary of Health an Human Services) has officially announced that “The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine.” No response has been forthcoming from the Patriarch’s office as to whether Kennedy’s name will be placed on his List of War Pigs.

Of course, Sec. Kennedy didn’t come to this conclusion before quite a few kids checked into the ER with Vitamin A poisoning when they followed Kennedy’s previous recommendation to consume lots of cod liver oil.

OK, enough snideness! The outbreak is still happening and looking at where the large majority of cases have occurred, there’s much to be learned. Gaines County, Texas is on the far west high plains of the state and mainly known for extracting fossil fuels from the Permian Basin and irrigation water from the Ogallala Aquifer. The county of 22,000 is 82% vaccinated (95% is ideal for measles) and is home to large congregations of Anabaptist Mennonites who, while not theologically opposed to vaccination, seem in this case to be the focus for the outbreak along with plenty of people who no longer trust vaccines of any type.

So folks who meet congregately on a regular basis should be especially wary of the possibility that this highly contagious and serious disease is spreading farther afield.

Nobody is above the law!

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
First of all, SCOTUS declared the incumbent president above the law, so at least one person in the US is above the law.

A search of recent news gets many results echoing claims made in this recent post to BBQ. However all of the sources cited in the search results are either obscure or social media (in other words, it’s gone viral). Certainly at least one, if not all, well known news sources would report on such an explosive story. Instead nothing, so I thought this post was worth a fact check, and I found one by “Tech ARP” with the following reporting. Make of it what you will. Here are relevant excerpts:

“Some people are claiming or suggesting that 7 states have filed criminal referrals against Anthony Fauci and other top officials for COVID crimes. Some even claim that those states are calling for, or even pursuing, criminal charges against Fauci and other officials!”

“Let me start by pointing out that the criminal referrals against Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other top officials involved in the US COVID-19 pandemic response, were not filed by any state, never mind 7 of them.

Instead, they appear to have been filed by the Vires Law Group, which appears to be a South Florida-based law firm that specialises in civil litigation.

Anyone can file a criminal complaint, or a criminal referral, with the police or any US district attorney. You don’t even have to be a lawyer, or law firm, to do that.”

“It appears that the Vires Law Group has filed multiple criminal referrals since at least 2023, but despite their prolific efforts, no attorney general or district attorney in the United States has ever filed criminal charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci, or as far as I can tell – anyone else on the list either.”

“On the other hand, a coalition of 17 state attorneys general led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson say that they’re investigating Dr. Fauci’s role in the US government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, after President Biden gave him a blanket pardon.”

“Notably, those 17 state attorneys general still have not filed criminal charges against Dr. Fauci, as of 11 April 2025. That usually indicates they have not found “violations of state laws“, or they would have taken “appropriate action to ensure justice is served.“

In addition, this investigation by those state attorneys general appear to be limited to Dr. Fauci, and does not involve any of the other people mentioned in the criminal referrals by the Vires Law Group.”

SATURDAY PROTEST MANZANITA

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
There will be a different location for this week’s peaceful PROTEST gathering. We will be meeting at the corner of Highway 101 and both Laneda and Manzanita Avenues. We will meet up at noon and going to 2 PM, Saturday, April 19. There are a few extra signs but please feel free to bring your own. The gatherings in Nehalem have been positive with approximately 98% of the people going by thanking us for PROTEST. New people are coming to join us each week-we thank them all! Please join us if you can. At this moment, the weather is projected to be cloudy next Saturday, but we all know that can change one way or another.

Government funds have affected many local programs. A critical program in our area is the North Tillamook County Food Bank (NTCFB) located in Wheeler. We are asking you to donate what you can to this organization. The location of the NTCFB is 278 Rowe Street-which is across from the Nehalem Bay Health Center. The building is only open when food is distributed and that is at noon on Tuesdays.

You can donate three ways. Go to their website, www.northtillamookcountyfoodbank.org and press the “donate” button to donate online. You can send a check to NTCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon, 97147. Or you can go to the NTCFB on Tuesday to deliver food at that time. A monthly donation they can count on would be a real bonus. The NTCFB has a message phone, 503-368-7724. Thank you for considering adding them to your giving list. We will have collection boxes for canned foods and donations at all our PROTEST locations.

A reminder of our PROTEST will be sent out later this week.
