reverse racism, double standards, etc

im sure this will step on some toes, and it may even further bolster my point...
i still dont understand why someone who is of any "race" other than "white" can make a racial joke or slur, and its funny or forgiven. if a white person makes the same joke, he is a bigot - a bona fide racist.
for example, dave chappelle: the very first show he ever did featured the black white supremacist. he made all the racist jokes about black people that ignorant white supremacists use. in addition, he made jokes about gay people, asians, etc. one particular line went something like "with all that ching chang chong, i cant understand you...go back to your country" -- hey, he's a black comedian. he's just making light of the racism in the country, right? if a white person did something like this, it would be in poor taste, racist, etc.
i could write a book about all the reverse racism other races have toward white people, and how white people's comments and jokes are held under a microscope in comparison. why is THIS okay? how long til it swings full circle and white people are allowed to complain about racism? isnt the basic assumption that all white people MUST be racist a racist assumption in itself?
a couple things here. racism isnt a laughing matter, and i understand plenty of people are legitimately bigoted, and people of all sorts of races get pigeonholed. however, if you scrutinize every little comment and look for hidden meaning and racist hints in every little situation, your life is going to be really depressing.
learn to laugh stuff off and stop being so uptight.
anyways, ive gotta go -- my white hood just finished in the dryer

hey look, its red hot chili pep---errr, pink

so i was at the gym doing some cardio this morning, and im a decent distance from the tv, but i can still see whats going on, more or less. thank you smu and the millions they spent on their new gym, which includes giant panel tvs. anyways, i see one of the "good morning, asshole" shows on, and its the summer concert series or whatever they do. i see what looks like a fairly built person in what looks like a blonde wig and a silly dress jumping around and performing on stage. naturally, i think it's anthony kiedis (i dont care if i spelled that correctly) from the chili peppers performing dani california. he's bizarre, and the body type fit. he wears wigs and ridiculous garb and all that, so nothing new here.
well, heres the rub. it was PINK. female, pink. suddenly i felt bad for assuming it was the chili pepper's lead singer. not in the way you'd think, though. i felt bad entirely for pink and not for anthony at all. he does weird shit. she has a man body. thats all there is to it. what's even more bizarre is that i think she could be kinda hot if she would just not be so muscular and mannish. my god, she has the same sex muscles as brad pitt, and she's broad. but she isnt unattractive, so i think if she just toned down a bit, she could be quite attractive.
of course she wont, b/c shes contrarian and does her own thing...which apparently includes dianabol and winstrol for breakfast
just thought this worth mentioning. come on pink, just slim down a little. lay off the steroid waffles for a couple months and do some feminine things

freedom & irony: random thoughts

okay, so a day late, id like to thank the troops for fighting for my freedom. thats not a yoke, either. theyre "brave" enough to defend their country and the rights of its citizens. i only put brave in quotations b/c there is a certain degree of ignorance and/or stupidity inherent in the decision to defend the rights of people you dont know, to the point of risking your life. is that rude of me? yeah, probably. but it's also accurate. anyways, thanks, b/c i wouldnt risk my life and freedom to defend your rights or the rights of others. obviously.

i got an interesting piece of mail earlier this week. to summarize, it said "your [credit card] statement is now available to view online. this notification is part of the all-electronic program you enrolled in to receive your statements online only instead of in the mail." anyways, it goes on to give me some more details on ensuring that i continue to get my statement notifications, etc.
now, correct me if im wrong, but isnt the point of these all-electronic things to save on paperwork and the use of paper (hug a tree, you dirty granolas). so, im baffled. what part of me receiving a paper notification fits in with the "all electronic" option?
