Breitbart:
On Monday, students at Indiana University Bloomington mistook a priest for a Ku Klux Klan member, taking to social media to express their fear of the alleged Klansman, who they claimed was carrying a whip, and dressed in “white robes.”
Residential hall advisor Ethan Gill quickly wrote an email to his students, warning them of the “threat” on campus: “There has been a person reported walking around campus in a KKK outfit holding a whip. Because the person is protected under first amendment rights, IUPD cannot remove this person from campus unless an act of violence is committed. Please PLEASE PLEASE be careful out there tonight, always be with someone and if you have no dire reason to be out of the building, I would recommend staying indoors if you’re alone.”
* From his LinkedIn profile: “This past semester I’ve built a community, help support fellow students academically and emotionally, and I’m there to help around the hall whether it be planning and hosting events, participating in meetings, running the center desk, or adding decorations to the hallways or bulletin boards.”
Now he can add, “or warning students to stay indoors and stay safe when white-robed KKK Klansmembers, whether real or imaginary, are freely roaming the campus. “
* Tough shit for all the wussie boys and girls on campus. The nuns who taught me in grammar school were as fearsome as the KKK, and they threatened you with eternal damnation. The Sisters of St. Joseph, my Patron Saint, wore black from head to toe, a head piece that covered all but their face, a knotted rope around their waist and a mile of rosary beads, the rattle of which acted as an early warning system that Sister Whomever was swooping down on you. Heaven help these frightened babies.
* A priest walking through campus, with his hate-beads and his hate-prayer-book? Triggering.
* A 1969 letter about the black quota at Yale predicting the problems we have now.
* When you live by the iPad you die by the iPad. Young people today spend so much time and energy engaged in social media that unfounded rumors spread like wildfire. Notice the RA advised against going out of the dorm. Stay inside, it’s dangerous out there!
How else can these hot-house flowers get a reality check if they just cluster indoors and don’t venture out to explore and find out for themselves what’s really going on? You know, NEGATIVE feedback. Which most people think must be BAD because it includes the term NEGATIVE. As in, “don’t be so negative all the time”.
Sometimes negative is a GOOD THING. It prevents systems from oscillating to the point of self destruction.
We’re doomed.
* Isn’t there a throw away line in just about every Woody Allen movie of the last 50 years where Woody’s character is certain that Staten Island, Long Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Boston, UpState Ny….. are full of Nazis, Rednecks and Cossacks?
For example:
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Manhattan_(film)
Isaac: Has anybody read that Nazis are gonna march in New Jersey? Ya know? I read it in the newspaper. We should go down there, get some guys together, ya know, get some bricks and baseball bats, and really explain things to ‘em.
In the movies this paranoia becomes Woody’s excuse for never leaving Manhattan. In real life it pretty much explains the “Pauline Kael world view” effect.
It also explains the Jewish elites obsession with with destroying the Boy Scouts of America through legal actions, first for the BSA’s stand against gay scoutmasters, next for decades old highly dubious allegations of child molestations by Gay scoutmasters.
Because we all know that the BSA is just a neo-nazi front and besides if young Jews go camping with the goyim they will only be ritually sodomized instead of perhaps being merely red pilled as to their family’s yenta’s paranoid delusions.
Best make sure that Jewish children be raised as hot house flowers and attend only kosher & or “progressive” youth programs and summer camps like the ones Sabrina Rubin Erdely of UVA rape hoax fame so widely touts for her precious kids.
Microaggressions are simply “Yentaism” runamuck for POC and the more feeble minded among the goyim.
* Speaking of disco groups like K.C. and the Sunshine Band, I was just now reading up on Chic (Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards), who were huge right after K.C. in the late 1970s (“Le Freak” and “Good Times”). Chic was very influential on the first generation of rappers (e.g., the first Top 40 rap hit in the 1970s, the Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” lifts Chic’s “Good Times” riff; and the 1980 #1 rap hit by Blondie, “Rapture,” also uses “Good Times,” while Queen’s 1980 #1 quasi-rap hit “Another One Bites the Dust” lifts the bassline).
But back in the late 1970s I always thought Chic sounded kind of New Wave as well sounding disco. Listening to the KC (two white guys and a bunch of black session musicians) from the mid-1970s, I can hear that Chic was doing something similar to KC in the late 1970s, but their guitar sound was janglier and more alien, kind of like what Johnny Rotten’s PIL was doing in the late 1970s and that U2 perfected in 1981.
And sure enough, it turns out that the first time Rodgers ever heard anybody rapping, in late 1978, it was at a NYC show that he had been invited to by … Deborah Harry and Chris Stein, the wife-husband leaders of the New Wave band Blondie. So the fact that Blondie had the first #1 rap hit turns out to make all sorts of sense.
Soon after Chic played in a show with Blondie and the Clash, who were living in New York in the second half of 1979, and the Clash released their own rap song in late 1980, “Magnificent Seven.” (I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some direct connection to Talking Heads, who released their own rap song in 1980, “Crosseyed & Painless.”)
Reading up on Nile Rodgers, I see that his stepfather was a Jewish beatnik drug addict in NYC. So it’s not surprising that black rap and white new wave were closely linked 35 years ago.
Here’s a 1981 bootleg recording of a concert with Blondie / Chic / Fab Five doing a version of Good Times / Rapture / Rapper’s Delight.
So it turns out that 35 years ago, people got the joke, but now it all sounds like Verboten Cultural Appropriation.
From Wikipedia:
“In late 1978, Debbie Harry suggested that Chic’s Nile Rodgers join her and Chris Stein at a hip hop event, which at the time was a communal space taken over by teenagers with boombox stereos playing various pieces of music that performers would break dance to. Rodgers experienced this event the first time himself at a high school in the Bronx. On September 20, 1979, and September 21, 1979, Blondie and Chic were playing concerts with The Clash in New York at The Palladium. When Chic started playing “Good Times”, rapper Fab Five Freddy and the members of the Sugarhill Gang (“Big Bank Hank” Jackson, Mike Wright, and “Master Gee” O’Brien), jumped up on stage and started freestyling with the band. A few weeks later Rodgers was on the dance floor of New York club Leviticus and heard the DJ play a song which opened with Bernard Edwards’ bass line from Chic’s “Good Times”. Rodgers approached the DJ who said he was playing a record he had just bought that day in Harlem. The song turned out to be an early version of “Rapper’s Delight”, which also included a scratched version of the song’s string section. Rodgers and Edwards immediately threatened legal action over copyright, which resulted in a settlement and their being credited as co-writers.[5] Rodgers admitted that he was originally upset with the song, but later declared it to be “one of his favorite songs of all time” and his favorite of all the tracks that sampled (or in this instance interpolated) Chic[6][better source needed]. He also stated: “As innovative and important as ‘Good Times’ was, ‘Rapper’s Delight’ was just as much, if not more so.”[7] “Rapper’s Delight” is said to be the song that popularized rap music and put it into the mainstream.[citation needed].”
* According to Rogers, it was Disco’s increasing elitism and overt gayness that killed the genre, not necessarily racism, homophobia or even Steve Dahl. Early rappers simply learned to cater to young people who could not afford, or were not stylish enough, to get into the hottest clubs.
Meanwhile Mutt Lange helped AC/DC to a huge hit with “You Shook Me All Night Long” by giving it a beat even uncoordinated white guys who thought disco was for fags could manage enough liquid courage to ask a girl to dance to.
Chic’s repertoire, especially “Good Times” along with Tony Thompson’s beats are pretty much rap sampling staples to this day.
