    Here's Another Parody of the National Anthem...It Must Suck to Be White

    The National Anthem- Not for Illegals:
    Remember that debacle about the National Anthem being sung en espanol? Of course you do. It was just last week, on the doorstep of the national protests against the immigration bill, HR 4437.

    Well, Peter Boyles of Denver, Colorado talk station 630 KHOW has a version of the Francis Scott Key tune, written by Don Wrege, that is a bit less supportive of the illegals.

    No, make that WAY LESS SUPPORTIVE!

    BEING WHITE: A "Privileged Race" or an Ingrown Hair Up the Ass?:
    There is this op-ed from the Wall Street Journal on "White Guilt". You see, if a white person says something that seems a bit politically incorrect, then they're labeled a racist- you know, like they say "nigga" to a black person, and the next thing you know, the white man or woman's undergoing plastic surgery in some boutique plastic surgeon's office (hell, they can afford it, right?). Whereas when anyone who's African-American- such as this blogger- or Latino, etc. who calls a white person a "honkie/honky"; "cracker"; "ofay"; or "gringo", or even says the word "nigga", we get cheered on by just about everyone else. Hell, white people must be the Microsoft Windows of civilization, if you ask me. You know, dominant in every damn thing, and are a walking target (despite us blacks folks feeling pressure, however sometimes undeserved).

    Why the double standard? Is anyone who isn't lilly white feeling like victims here? Or do we minorities- black, Latino, Hispanic, Asian, etc- feel good playing the victim? Do white folks really have a charmed life, the privileged race, if you will? Or are they just like everyone else- human and mistake prone (despite some calling the Caucasian race, the "master race". Didn't know these white supremacists came from the planet Krypton...).
