» Posted By Khirad On July 5, 2020 @ 4:26 am My Father’s Advice On Opposing Racists: “Let Them Keep Talking” “There was, I knew, no excuse for my behavior, and with that knowledge came a growing sense of guilt. It sprang partly from the realization that I had betrayed the family’s expectations, especially Mother’s, that I have violated the basic human dignity that my family acknowledged blacks possessed. Yet there was another sense of betrayal, deeper and more personal. I realized that I had hurt Sam, had hurt him deliberated, and worst of all, had hurt him for his race.” That’s where I think you knew where my dad was coming from. He went to college, the first to, and I wish he would write a book on his transition. In my experience, the more you know people, the less you hate them on a personal level. They become friends, fellow humans. Assholes come from everywhere, but I’ve always appreciated social psychology – though I have no talent for it. I digress. What I’m saying is, if you’re cool with me, I’m cool with you, full stop. » Posted By Khirad On July 10, 2020 @ 3:46 am The North and South of a Confederate Monument I thank you for this. I can can go off forever, but am writing a similar piece. » Posted By Khirad On July 5, 2020 @ 4:33 am Weekend Music Thread – Don’t Come Around Here No More Say what you will about Scots but the Irish got it riight.

» Posted By Khirad On June 21, 2020 @ 7:45 pm This is a picture of me with my dad. He brought me up with The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Kinks, John Prine, Dire Straits, all that – so whilst not “dad related lyrically” you may see some of that. I called him today, I love my dad even though I know he’s in his 70s. And I still think he’s lame for not being into the Doors or King Crimson. https://planetpov.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG_0637.jpeg » Posted By Khirad On June 21, 2020 @ 7:34 pm Part II of My ADD Journey Through Life Thank you very much, I’m still ashamed at my grammatical errors. I hate confirming biases of ‘stupid’ AD/HD people. My mom would actually correct the notes I would exchange before she washed my pants. But, that’s another story about cursive, paper and prying… » Posted By Khirad On June 29, 2020 @ 2:55 pm You just nailed AD/HD in the last two paragraphs. Also, I felt bad about calling you out but could tell you were African American looking for answers. I’m writing this so close to … gosh, there’s so much not to unpack or dispute here, but to talk about. You nailed AD/HD. And it gets deeper than that. I wanna getinto the Hunter Gatherer hypothesis. It’s very hypothetical. Not Scientific, I’m gonna say that, but … Spanking is another thing to which… just makes angry adults pissed off at everyting. I can do a whole thing on that. However; I can not speak to Black kids thinking they are the same as everyone else. Because they are, but, I understand spanking to not get killed. » Posted By Khirad On June 26, 2020 @ 6:34 pm Part I of My ADD Journey Through Life I’m about to submit my second and perhaps final installment. I was responding to how AD/HD is treated in popular culture, and how some still don’t believe it exists. I used to be a fan of Dr. Amen – and think he was onto something with an ADD spectrum, but his methods and celebrity have given me pause. I have no doubt I have ADD/I anymore than someone doubts the color of their own eyes. I love my hyperactive counterparts, but it’s roughly half, and the diagnoses are even fewer for girls. Thank you. I just despise how it’s treated as some new concoction of big pharma when *we* just need more spankings and discipline. [P.S., that approach did not work]

» Posted By Khirad On June 8, 2020 @ 7:15 am The White Authoritarian Skin Beneath the Surface of U.S. Society I still want to push back on the mental illness thing. I think it’s the next civil rights issue. And, every time some shooting or violence happens, it’s not guns, but mental illness. Alright? Then fucking fund mental illness treatments and support medicaid for their/our prescriptions? It pisses me off, how the mentally ill are scapegoated. » Posted By Khirad On June 8, 2020 @ 8:46 pm I knew about the Proud Boys but the Boogaloo Boys are new to me and I would have assumed they were from A Clockwork Orange or The Five Points. I’m still processing this all and don’t disagree with much, but need some time to – deal with this country right now. It’s often said on both sides they will leave the country if their political rival wins, but I’m serious this time. If he wins again, I’ll never stop loving America with all her faults, and I don’t want to run away, but I can’t deal with the thought. It CAN happen here. “The Senator was vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected, and in his “ideas” almost idiotic, while his celebrated piety was that of a traveling salesman for church furniture, and his yet more celebrated humor the sly cynicism of a country store. ~ Sinclair Lewis, It Can’t Happen Here » Posted By Khirad On June 8, 2020 @ 8:42 pm Weekend Music Thread – Fortunate Son I know it is near impossible to feel sorry for Germans in WWII, but I do. I wonder what I would have done. Not been SS or anything like that, but, if you knew my real name, – my German side was here before WWI, but still. We were American. We dropped the German language on that side. We integrated out of fear for being un-American. As such, I do have sympathy not for the Nazis, but for every conscript. It’s difficult, and those that have known me also know I have a Southern Scots-Irish Confederate history. Yeah, every day I don’t wake up and blow my brains out is a good day. I can’t divorce myself from my heritage though. All I can do, is excise the bad parts. In both wars, they lost – and I’m glad. But, I’m sorry, not everybody had a choice – especially in Nazi Germany.

Certainly there was nothing exhilarating in the actual words of his speeches, nor anything convincing in his philosophy. His political platforms were only wings of a windmill.”
