I'm Sure CK Would Like You All to Know that "Sand N**ger" is a Bad Word

There's something about Canada's progressive blogosphere and the topic of racism. There's something about it and the very notion of racism, especially at its most extreme fringes.

There are days in which a conservative can't even breathe without being accused of being a racist by such individuals.

This is actually rather remarkable when one considers the uneasy relationship some of them have with racism -- that they're more than willing to tolerate it when it comes from someone on "their side" of the ideological divide.

So one would imagine that when it was pointed out to CK of Sister Sage's Musings that her "Uncle Tom" remark directed at Conservative MP Christian Paradis was actually a racial slur, one would expect that it would provoke some serious soul-searching in the heart of anyone who was serious about the topic of racism.

Guess again:
That's CK using the pronunciation of the word "master" stereotypically attributed to black slaves and applying it to, of all things, to the spokesperson of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

God knows that no one has ever applied the vile epithet of "sand nigger" to Karzai himself.

CK has the temerity to claim her comments were merely "sarcasm", but after reading them it becomes clear that she just has a different definition of sarcasm than the rest of the world does.

If a Blogging Tory had dared utter such epithets, one would have to imagine that CK and her colleagues in The Chickenwankers would be all over it like a pit bull on a poodle. They would actually be right to do so.

But this being the case, one has to wonder why it would be acceptable for CK to indulge herself in the same kind of language.

Then one remembers who they're dealing with, and the answer becomes crystal clear: to CK, Hamid Karzai is on the wrong side of a political issue, and for her that makes all the difference in the world.

  1. I ran into a similar debate over a statue in a public place by the wrong type of "bible wavers".

    They will tolerate religion if it serves their purpose.

    I am curious what is the linguistic voting demographics of the Bloc.

  2. The key point being, of course, that it has to suit their agenda.

    It's clear that they're willing to target racists if it suits their agenda -- it seems that CK is just a boiling kettle of racial hatred.

  3. Words fail me...just fail me. Jack Layton must be so proud.

  4. It seems to me that maybe it's Gilles Duceppe who's to blame for this one.

    If anyone wants to scope out some bonus hilarity, I suggest scoping this out.

    My, my. Such hysterics from Sister Sage.

    Oh, and just for those who are keeping score, as it pertains to "stalking", CK can say what she will. The difference between us and them is that when we have a problem with a blogger, we leave their kids out of it.

  5. I think you would make a good fisherman, Patrick.

  6. Not really. This is CK we're talking about here.

    She's been delivering stupid to the internet since... god only knows when.

  7. Nope, none of them really do know stalking from their asshole.

    After all, we remember Robbie Day's criminal harassment plot against a rival blogger, and how they still deny that's what it is -- even after Robbie Day himself admitted to it.
