Pray the Black Away.
Various Christian groups have a "pray the gay away" thing. It occurred to me that 13% of the country is Black, and if we bill them $50 a piece for special prayer shawls, etc, that means we collect just under $2 Bn. That's a billion each.
You can be our spokesperson, as you have IIRC, gone from 1/8th Black to not Black at all, under Oregon rules. We have a 100% success rate.
And it makes just as much sense as what Rick Warren is peddling, right (ie, pray the gay away)?
I don't see a downside, here.

Jesus won't mind. It's in a good cause.
Not that I mind being black, mind you. But being LEGALLY black according to a Federal law which overrides State laws about legal blackness... well jesus fuck what is that? Also under former Oregon law my children were legally black, under this new overarching Federal law they are not.
My children, legally speaking, are white.
Also I hate humanity what is this.

Perry slices it by using the exact same arguments segregationists used, and then tacking on the words "BUT IT'S NOT HE SAME AS BEING BLACK".
BTW when they lose this fight I anticipate the segregationists going after Muslims next, and using the exact same arguments.

Well, you have to start with the assumption that 301,000,000 monkeys that have enought to eat cannot act in a rational manner. I think we've proven this.
Then you let all those monkeys pretend they're part of the political process, and you teach them that "freedom" means the right to act like THEY themselves act (and nothing else), and then you scare the shit out of them a few times, using brown people as your scapegoat.
Then you lash the pressure cooker closed, and leave boiling for ten-thirty years.

Yes. Yes it has.
It's not quite as bad as the USSR got at the end, yet.
But it's definitely reminiscent.
Not just politically, either. Listen: As an American, I have always expected stores to have fully stocked shelves. But they don't anymore. Our government now has carte blanche to detain citizens indefinitely with no charge. There is a Federal law defining degree of blackness (which to be fair, overrides many even worse State laws defining blackness). So much is wrong, horribly, unspeakably wrong, that when you think about it, it's hard to do more than stare bleakly at a wall.
I should be assumed that all of us Americans here are on a list. Just for thinking beyond our next wide-screen TV. Not a list that will get us harassed at the airport... a different list.
Oh, America.
We also have a legislature that is compelled by our political system to constantly make laws.
We have so many fucking laws now that it's hard to imagine being more Free™. Fraz Kafka had NO FUCKING IDEA.

I believe it may have been America which also came up with the economic adage "You have to grow to stay in the same place".
Which eventually destroyed the economy of the entire world, because growth inevitably leads to death.
Ten years ago I was told that I don't understand economics, because I pointed out that infinite growth is not possible and raised questions about sustainability in a company meeting. Sustainability was not a word yet.

Steady, supportible growth is good.
Unsustainable growth is bad.

It's not that weird, historically speaking in the US, anyway. Prior to this, many states, including Oregon, had a law called "the one-drop rule". This is one of those things that colored people grow up with and white people don't even know exist, which is the reason only white people say things like "I don't see color" or "I don't view people's race".

There's brownish people, there's whitish people, there's white people who could pass as brown (my dad definitely, he's got a thirty year old tan and could pass as a border hopper almost, and he's of Dutch descent), and there's brown people who could pass as white (my friend Pool Hall could, I think she's Mexican? I don't know. She looks white-with-a-tan but I think she's naturally olive).
Sometimes when I'm bored I try to amuse myself by focusing on features that give clues to their ancestry, but I'm not very good at it.
I don't doubt that there's stupid laws covering race, but its fucking stupid anyways. :(

Yeah, it's pretty stupid. And it's also the reason that until the 1970's people "of color" couldn't buy houses outside of Portland's Red Line.
