Racially Yours - The Frogs

This is their so-called 'most offensive album of all time'.

It was recorded in the very early 90's. They claim to have tried to shop it around to various labels for nearly a decade. It was released in 2000.

The liner notes was a bunch of rejection letters from various labels big and small. Some of them were very concerned, and some were very angry. One guy was upset at their apparent cover of "Gloria" on the demo tape, though it didn't make the album.

These are the track lists.

Track listing[edit]
"Truth"
"Holidays 4 King"
"Sorry I'm White"
"White Guy"
"400 Years"
"Racially Yours"
"Now You Know You're Black"
"White Like Me"
"My Slave"
"Freedom"
"Whitefully Dead"
"BlackMan, BlackMan"
"Full of Monkeys"
"I Had a Dream"
"Revolution"
"Massa"
"Darkmeat 4 Sale"
"The Flag"
"An Unwanted Child & A Wanted Man"
"2 Blacks Don't Make a White"
"The Purification of the Race"
"You're a Bigot"
"The Blue-eyed Devil & Brown-eyed Angel"
"Uncle Sam Loves U"
"Prejudiced"

The lyrics are, as always, stupid. However, he seems to be claiming that he's not racist because "Half the songs are against blacks, the other half are against whites."

But some songs are very SJW. For instance:

The difference is, I'd do Rachel Dolezal.

Well I learned, a few months ago, that the term 'female bodied', used to refer to people who can get pregnant, is in fact, 'transphobic as fuck' and 'denies people their gender'

The people in question, specifically, are trans women. I was merely following the orders of a well known SJW, when xie told me to use 'female bodied' to refer to those folks who can get pregnant. In my naivete, I assumed, wrongly,that this was an SJW approved term. Well, not every SJW agrees. I was rudely told that I was 'transphobic as fuck' and 'not a trans ally' and 'full of shit'. Once I explained that I was merely following orders, I was told to 'think for myself and research the issue' (oh, the irony) and furthermore, that I had no right to have hurt feelings because the use of terms such as 'female bodied' to refer to people who can get pregnant LITERALLY KILLS TRANS WOMEN. I had to 'shut up and listen' and if I felt at all defensive, or hurt, well, this was just proof of my BIGOTRY.

Yes.

I still couldn't put it together but after some thought I figured it out. Female bodied erases trans women because the phrase suggests that biological femaleness is associated with the ability to get pregnant. Well, trans women are 'real women for sure', even though they can't make babbies. So, it erases them, by implying that femaleness has anything, anything at all to do with the ability to produce ova. Biological femaleness is entirely in the brain. And this is why 'female bodied' literally fucking kills trans women, because those southern bigoted redneck types who beat trans women to death are clearly going to be swayed by such language when they are perusing social justice forums on the intarwebz.

Oh, and the person who accused me of these thought crimes described herself as 'nice' as in "I nicely explained". And she then described me as 'toxic' and "I stay away from toxic people like that", which is hilarious, because she came to a website that I frequent, and chose to attack me, out of the blue.

Then again, she is the same horrible person who tried to destroy someone's life over this:

Special announcement!

If you go to Carrier's blog right now you will see a beautiful sight-- all the recent comments are from Richard Carrier. Every last comment! I have seen it with n-1 Carrier comments before, but never with the unprecedented cosmic alignment of all n.

I have been waiting for such a pure concentration of raw intellect for-- well probably forever. It is a lamb without blemish.

Apologies if I am the only one who finds this so, so....Carrier.

Well, to be fair, that's only really because of his approach to reading and responding to comments. He generally only reviews his comments once or so every week or so, and then responds. So, really, it's a false appearance of him being the only commentor, or summat.

I do not like Carrier, and I think he's a moron, but if anyone here only read the comments once a week or so, and then responded to them all with a series of back to back posts the same thing would happen -- if you see what I mean.

And it would be meaningless.

In that light, its more of a sense of the slow pace of comments on his blog than anything else. Still amusing to see.

(10 p.m.) More than 370,000 customers without power across the region at peak of storm. Puget Sound Energy reports 169,000 outages at this hour; Snohomish PUD reports 150,000 without power
Many roads are closed due to trees and wires down

The storm came through here last night. 60km/h winds. I decided to go for a hike up one of the local bluffs and was almost knocked off the thing.

I don't think there would be much demand for an short bald fat hairy dumpy man... with no money, status, & not much goin' on.

I've got it better than Muscato does in unearned ways-- like being tall & not-bald. But I do feel like my value is based on my utility + how much I make a spectacle of myself. Otherwise I fade into obscurity.

I interpret this the way MRAs do-- the 'disposable male', 'gynocentricism', winner-take-all masculinity.

I speculate that Muscato's interpretation of his predicament... isn't so far-off from mine. But his strategy is to become Danielle.
Is he trying to ditch his male worthlessness, be valued as an honorary female? Be valued as a victim? Trade his individual identity for membership in an identity group?

I keep trying to put myself in his shoes, find some way that I can imagine arriving where he did.
I think he's a legit trans, not a gimmick.

Mama dave is really screaming dysphoria.

I know we're all fooled by his beard and tux, thinking he's simply trying for attention. That's true too. But really, she's just, well, stupid.

She's so dumb that she doesn't even realize that she jumped the gun by announcing her new identity as "established". Perhaps she thought that this exposure would rapidly propel her to financial success - in order to pay for the treatments?

I mean, a head's up announcement of "going trans" is a good thing. a heads up announcement of "I've ALREADY transitioned, it's Danielle! "

I really think she's just stupid.

You're right about her needing to be a spectacle, but I don't see anything evil with that. Every class needs a clown, and every office has a milton.

play your part.
This was probably already asked but did Muscato announce his new identity just prior to losing his job with AA? Could it have been an effort to shame hem into keeping him on?

Why should anyone be surprised at the barbaric rural redneck faction of turks currently supporting the islamist party in power boo'ing a minute of silence for the Paris attacks? Just the most "secular" and "modern" muslim majority country on the planet.
Remember the Ankara terrorist suicide bombing? The one hypocritical idiot dhimmi leftist westerners are whining no one cared about in the west, in order to shame and guilt the people daring to show support for the parisian victims? Exact same thing happened. They can't even respect a minute of silence for their own countrymen, ethnic loathing for everyone not turk (or even "traitor" turks) is endemic and practically government policy:

Should just separate separate Thrace and Izmir from the the rest of backward anatolian cunts, the only places that aren't yet completely taken over by religious fanatics.

Why did the audience's skepticism suddenly go out of the window when it was a WoC talking?
