Weaponizing Ignorance

Chipster has to confess that he backslid on his New Year's resolve to no longer pollute his mind with poisons from the pages of the New York Slime. But I couldn't resist.

Through the tube-vine, I heard that the Slime was proclaiming that Cleopatra was black (or as the Slime would have it "Black"). You kiddin me??? Nope.

Cleopatra was black because there is a possibility that maybe some slave or Persian [sic] got mixed into her bloodline somehow, sometimes, AND BESIDES "black" isn't a question of skin colour anyways but has to do with the experience of oppression. .... Cleopatra was "oppressed"???

And because culturally "oppressed" therefore it is legitimate to portray her skin tone as black (or "Black") or "black" or at any rate as a slimmer version of the later versions of Aunt Jemima....

What is really deplorable about all of this is that USA's cultural hegemenony has now turned into a Black Hole of Ignorance and Insanity which is sucking in the rest of the world.

I renew my resolve.
