So, I spent a half an hour watching the scroll of faces across my screen at the top of the Fubar site. I opened up my "members online" option and flipped through the pictures. The vast majority were white. Beyond the expected ratio that the diverse American population would seem to suggest.This made me wonder if what I observed was a result of a socio-economic displacement of funds. As in - non-whites do not have as much of the American financial pie as whites. Well gee, the democrats would certainly suggest that was the case, as would many minority leaders. I guess it was a redundent question if I were to just pay attention to the news - but I thought that I might actually be seeing it in play by the minute number of non-white faces scrolling across my screen.Or was it that there was some other social network that was being used? I needed some help making up my mind, so I thought I'd use a MAKE UP MY MIND and ask for the opinions of others. They could observe the same thing I did if they merely looked up to the top of their screen. Yes, there it still is - a disproportionate number of Fubar members are white, compared to what one might expect given the racial make up of the United States. A simple observable fact.Of course I enjoy wordplay so I gave two choices - neither offensive or degratory, both humerous and using well known phrases from comedy TV. a. No computer for jew (which is what comedians write when attempting a hispanic version of YOU - nothing offensive, just a word play in keeping with the theme.)ORb. homie has a nutha hood (Recall In Living Color and the "Homie Don't Play That" line. And writing phonetically isn't offensive, it was a humerous option in keeping with my mumm).So, if I were to observe that it was mostly northern people that were on Fubar, and I asked a question about southerner's and made "Out smellin Flairs" (Out Smelling Flowers) a choice would THAT be considered horrible?I don't understand the hysteria that poured forth. The facts are what they are. A disproportionate amount of white faces adorn Fubar accounts given the make up of American society. This being the case - is it because of a lack of proper spreading of the wealth, or is it because non-whites chose other social networks? There is no racism in anything I wrote or said. Why was it seen? Do people just want to see it? WHY?My heart is pure and free of racism. I don't need to avoid humor because I'm afraid my dirty secret will come out - I DON'T HAVE ANY RACISM IN ME.And of course my mumm was yanked down - my questions unanswered due to the hysterical shrieks of HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!!!!?? (one more time? Because I watched the top of my screen) - and now I can't write mumms. Hey, there's 4 s's in Mississippi, and only one m - is it because M is a less used letter in the alphabit? (the mob goes wild) OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE DEVALUING THE LETTER M!!!!!! NO I WILL NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO ANSWER OR THINK ABOUT THE QUESTION BECAUSE THE LETTER M AND THOSE THAT SUPPORT THE LETTER M AND THE GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT THE LETTER M IS A LESS USED LETTER AND GOD DAMN IT HOW DARE YOU DEVALUE IT BY COUNTING HOW MANY TIMES ITS USED IN MISSISSIPPI! (heads explode)Huh... I guess the mumm title "White Fubar" must have been popular tonight. I don't know what the other one was about - certainly not about whether the money is equally divided in American society or whether non-whites have another social network they use, since there's a disproportionate amount of whites on Fubar - because somebody posted that somebody was calling names. And then somebody posted a mumm about being blocked by the person that posted the mumm entitled "White Fubar", and I've never blocked anybody, nor would I. Open discussion is my style, not stupid tricks. But just to be sure and to try to offer an explanation to anybody that didn't understand my intent, I commented on that mumm with a link to this blog. It was deleted.
