CNN's New Euphemism For French Youths of Undetermined Ethnic Extraction: "African-Americans"CNN immediately apologized for the gaffe. Henceforth, all rioting Muslim youths will be described by the racially-sensitive term "rambunctious darkies." posted by Ace at 02:48 PM
CommentsI bet Melissa Theuriau wouldn't have made that journalistic error. In fact, why not put up another post with her picture as proof of this theory. Posted by: JohnO on November 15, 2005 03:12 PM
You know what's really funny? I had to think a minute to work out what's wrong with that description. I started with the working hypothesis that they were North Africans, while African Americans are usually sub-Saharan. But, of course, nobody's putting my wet brain stream of consciousness on the air. Posted by: S. Weasel on November 15, 2005 03:13 PM
I did too. I focused on the African part (partly true) rather than the American part (not true). Posted by: ace on November 15, 2005 03:14 PM
I have heard a person refer to Europeans of dark complexion as African-American once before, and it made me laugh out loud. The woman responded by asking me what she was supposed to call them if not that. Political correctness is nothing but Newspeak, and reduces the need to think dramatically.

I was thinking the same thing Dave. French Quarter-Americans. At least it has french in the name. Posted by: polynikes on November 15, 2005 03:30 PM

Okay, Sortelli, that made me laugh. Is there some place you can download that cool moonbat font, or did you just type that with your toes? Posted by: utron on November 15, 2005 03:57 PM
Actually, it's really easy to get that moonbat effect for yourself. Go buy an old-fashioned mercury thermometer, crack it in half, and take a sip. Refreshing and delicious! Posted by: Pompous on November 15, 2005 04:04 PM
I had to write a lot of dialogue in internet idiotese back in the day. My general rule is to switch the lats tow lettres of a word.
Posted by: Sortelli on November 15, 2005 04:06 PM
Oh, I saw the "Iraqian" guy yesterday. Nope, you can't make stuff like that up. IIRC, he really did respond by asking what he was supposed to call them, if not that. Posted by: utron on November 15, 2005 04:18 PM
I think we need terms to distinguish between good and bad Iraqians. The former can be Iraqtaculars, the latter Iraqickies. Posted by: Enas Yorl on November 15, 2005 05:52 PM
I'm trying to remember a story I heard -- someone at some liberal rag (New York Times? Not sure.) was editing an article that referred to black people in Europe or Asia, hundreds of years ago, and changed the reference to "African-Americans". The original author objected to the change, pointing out that there was no America, per se, at that point, and these folks didn't live there anyway, but the editor pointed to the style book and insisted the text had to change, or the article would be killed.... PC run amok. Posted by: Wiz on November 15, 2005 06:56 PM
Sounds like the New York Times. They follow their in-house style guide so obsessively that if an article mentioned the singer Meat Loaf, he was invariably called "Mr. Loaf." Posted by: utron on November 15, 2005 07:35 PM
You folks are all missing the obvious. The Youths of Undetermined Ethnic Extraction are burning cars for one reason, and one reason only. They want to know: Who won the poetry contest! And who are the honorable mentions! Because, many Youths of Undetermined Ethnic Extraction were deeply moved by the Ode to Odgen Nash. Posted by: Michael on November 15, 2005 09:01 PM
Lennox Lewis has been asked about his African-American heritage many times. In one exchange, he corrected the interviewer with a simple "I'm British," and the interviewer was totally confused - he couldn't tell what the comment was in reference to. Posted by: Tim Higgins on November 16, 2005 12:07 AM
In the book Paved With Good Intentions by Jared Taylor, (footnote on p. 218) he quotes a WSJ story ("American, Not African-American", by Deborah Wright, 10/30/1990): "Nelson Mandela, leader of the African National Congress, must have been amused when a befuddled reportere referred to him during a trip to New York as an 'African American'".

After threatening that the "clock is ticking" for renewed strikes on Iran, Trump once again calls them off to give negotiating a chance.
I can't even cover this any more. It's embarrassing. It's like covering the endless negotiations over DHS funding. Trump is going to drag this out through the midterms and then lose them. Note to the president: At some point, allowing the Regime to remain in power without actually forcing them to give up nukes is just a back-door, unacknowledged renewal of the Obama policy. Well, I guess we just have to wait for their economy to collapse and their troops to desert.
Mayor Karen is so stung by fan-made AI ads that she's resorting to the shitlibs' go-to demand for an end to criticism -- these ads are "violent" and "hateful" and making me feel unsafe because one video showed AI cartoons throwing tomatoes at me and the tomatoes looked like blood when they squished
This was her actual complaint. The mushed-up tomato looked like blood so it's a death threat and these violent attacks on me must stop. What is dis bitch, CNN?
Few people remember that Norm MacDonald began his career as a ventriloquist
MacDonald's old partner Adam Egot revealed that MacDonald repurposed a bit with one of his ventriloquist dolls -- that he was a "bad guy" who "didn't believe the Holocaust happened" -- for the Norm MacDonald show, in which he claimed Egot didn't believe in the Holocaust. Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?" I posted his post on twitter and it's gotten 25K views so far. Thanks, Smell the Glove Chris

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source" Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held. Basil the Great
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.
Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing. Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult. Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending. (((Dan Hodges))) Nick Lowles
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98. Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years. Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45 Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%. I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens. REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56. Recent Comments
