NEW RULE: Unstable White Women Need to Stop Blaming Male Minorities for their Miserable Lives.

[pepperbear]

Remember the runaway bride, Susan Smith, and the infamous "backward B" bitch? Now Bonnie Sweeten joins this wonderful cast of misfits. When is this crap going to stop?

edited to add unstable so as to not have every woman on DU cricify me.

21. of course it's not and the OP knows that as does everyone with half a brain. FLAMEBAIT!

5. Lets take it a little further. NEW RULE: Everybody needs to stop referring to genders and races as..

...units, instead of large groups of unique individual people. EOM.

[Believing Is Art]

16. I am white woman

I do whatever white women do. Umm, let's see, I shop, eat chicken, have a torrid affair with my boss, and religiously Tivo all reality shows.

I laugh in the face of your "unique individual" crap!

[napoleon_in_rags]

18. LOL! nt

[librechik]

6. you can't tell the mentally ill what to do

and expect to get it done.

Still, what a dirty trick.

[CBR]

7. As a white woman.... I totally agree! nt

[Hannah Bell]

9. because this is a very common problem, white women blaming minority men for their miserable lives.

i mean, if it makes the news, it must be widespread.

[Divine Discontent]

10. How about you quantify that by saying "unstable" or "racist"

otherwise, you're just fanning the flames of intolerance. I understand your anger over this, but without being specific - it comes across no different if I said, "black youth need to stop selling crack and hash down at my neighborhood mall to help get them out of their miserable situations"

Ya see? Again, I agree with the premise of the anger, but the flame-bait wording is unnecessary.

[AspenRose]

12. That's good advice

[pepperbear]

14. done...n/t

[pepperbear]

15. done....

yep, I can see how people would be offended by the generalization

[omega minimo]

23. It's still offensive, stupid flamebait -- and you used the B-word?

Here's a story.

Last night four friends are standing on the sidewalk in the late May dusk. A disturbed man approaches with menacing body lanuage and shouts as he passes by:

"I'M SICK OF ALL THESE HONKIES, WHITE HONKIES ALL OVER THE PLACE MUMBLE YELL HONKIES........."

He passed by and goes about 5o paces and STOPS and looks back at the four who didn't move. Then he starts COMING BACK. Telling us to "Go."

In obvious danger, we did.


He's sick of the honkies and he's blaming everything on them.
He was Hispanic and emotionally disturbed.
Someone commented "they're not picking up 5150's any more" meaning our bankrupt city.

There's plenty of bias and blame and pain to go around.

Don't add to the MISOGYNY THAT IS AT THE BASE OF ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS.

11. A little context, please? Oh, and "nice generalization" (meant sarcastically).

Use of the B word also earns you negative points for insensitivity and an obtuse approach to gender issues.

I don't think "all" White Women or White Men or Black Women or Little Green Men are routine "blamers" of any sort.

I despise that Bill Maher construct you are using--I know he delivers it as a joke in his little New Rules segments, but it's using a very wide brush to paint a very narrow line. Not clever, particularly when talking about a majority group in America (women, no matter what their color or ethnicity) who have gotten the crappy end of the stick, routinely, throughout history.

It's as stupid as saying "White Men need to stop serially killing women in droves" and referencing that BTK Killer and Ted Bundy to back up that absurd remark.

13. duly noted

17. I remember when it was always blamed on...

Drug crazed hippies!

Remember this?

http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/4574512/

Jeffrey MacDonald was convicted in 1979 of the Feb. 17, 1970, murders of his pregnant wife, Collette, and their two daughters, Kimberly and Kristin. He is serving a life sentence in prison at a facility in Cumberland, Md.

MacDonald has maintained his innocence, claiming a group of drug-crazed hippies broke into his home and attacked his family.

The case inspired two books, "Fatal Vision" and "Fatal Justice," and a television miniseries that carried the name of the first book.

MacDonald’s attorney Hart Miles said the appeal could open the door to a new hearing about evidence uncovered since the conviction, including witness statements and particularly DNA evidence.

22. All the drug-crazed hippies I ever knew were too lazy to go to the convenience store for

stuff like Fritos and ice cream. They'd always ask ME to go for them!!!

I can't imagine any of those giggling youths of days gone by committing any acts of violence, except perhaps murdering a chocolate cake or a box of Oreos.

I do remember that, though!! That riff/Great Big Storyline that the guy coughed up was based on Charles Manson, certainly--which was a different thing altogether!

CBS did a "thing" on it--there's a clip at the link and a story: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/16/48hours/main2580419_page3.shtml

24. Too Mello to Murder!

Haha! Yep. Yeah, this was no Helter Skelter, that's for sure.

Thanks for the link. Very interesting!
