What Does "White" Really Mean?

"White" is not a culture. And yet so many American people will claim that it is. So will white supremacists.

Although many Americans will identify as "white", so will white supremacists. White supremacists will go one step further to identify the white people whom they believe do not fall into that category.

The concept of "white" only exists when people descended from Europeans, or people of a lighter complexion, separate themselves culturally, physically, legally, and ideologically from those who are not descended from Europeans, or those people with a darker complexion. The same is almost true of "black", although there were no "black" people until those who considered themselves "white" enslaved the poor and people of color.

Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay

Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay both run "Hell's Kitchen"--Marco in the United Kingdom, and Gordon in the United States. Although Marco Pierre White trained Gordon Ramsay, his training is reflected in Ramsay's culinary style and quest for perfection, not his management style. Marco, who may cut a more menacing figure than Ramsay, never loses his temper in the kitchen, never curses, and gives his cooks sufficient training and warning before they get the chop.


The British and American versions of "Hell's Kitchen", while both reality television shows, have different goals. British and American celebrities are selected to cook in Marco's kitchen, while culinary students and working cooks/chefs are selected to cook in Gordon's kitchen. The winner of the British "Hell's Kitchen" simply lives to tell the tale of the experience (maybe they get some prize money to go to charity, not sure), while the winner of the American "Hell's Kitchen" is selected to run one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants.

I enjoy watching Marco Pierre White a lot more than watching Gordon Ramsay. Marco walks around his kitchen with a kaffiyeh tied around his head, wielding a twelve inch chef's knife, like a barbarian king...but he is wise and gentle. He has a sweet tooth and crazy hair. And the man is a real artist.

Skinheads, NeoNazis, Veterans Day, and Cocksuckers

I stayed up late last night watching documentaries on YouTube about skinheads and NeoNazis in the United States, Europe, and Russia. One of the documentaries was actually a National Geographic special, as opposed to one renegade filmmaker's perspective, which validated all of the other independent filmmakers' work on this subject for me. These are terrorists among us, on American soil, and these are the people that red-blooded Americans should be weeding out, imprisoning and torturing in Guantanamo!

Today we celebrate Veterans Day in the United States. Our World War Two veterans sacrificed the best years of their lives to overthrow the Nazis. Meanwhile, some of their children and grandchildren are buying into the neo-Nazi and skinhead movements due to lack of employment, hatred of Mexican immigrants engaged in low paying jobs, and greedy companies outsourcing.

Today, the United States military has thousands if not millions of Americans serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. A percentage of these people are doing their military time in order to train for the white revolution. Some of the soldiers who return from the Middle East bring a hatred of Muslims back with them. Some who have not even served in the US military are writing asinine editorials titled "Why Can Muslims Serve, Not Gays?". The Advocate, normally a reputable news source for the LGBT community, has used extremely poor judgement in publishing an Islamophobic editorial written by--wait for it--A PORN STAR DIRECTOR/PRODUCER.

The best part is that the editorial has nothing to do with allowing gays to serve in the military, but everything to do with the incredibly flawed belief that Muslims cannot be patriotic citizens because they "hear the Koran". I am so ashamed that The Advocate published this trash! And what about all of those gay Arabic interpreters who were booted from the military simply because of their sexual orientation--some of them were Muslims, too. I was shocked to find out that many of those who responded to this porno guy's editorial agreed with him! I could not help but post a comment in response to the editorial.

Just replace "Muslim" with "Jew", or "queer", or your choice of minority in Lucas' editorial, and it is chilling. Read the comments posted, and see how many people agree with this guy. I wonder if Lucas is going to suck the cocks of closeted White Power dudes next.
