    I think we need to investigate.
    It was probably the russians fault.

    I was wrong about there being no black posters? You really take Diablos word as gospel huh? For one, Gebbeth already came out and said he was not black. Come on, with a name like gebbeth that had to be a given. Even I knew that. And doughty is Asian. So now tell me who here is black? Maybe if Grizz was still around we would have one. But we don’t.

    You guys are really letting a lurker own you all on your own turf? Sad.

    Come with the facts next time

    If you don't want to get hurt by your country for not being a good slave then...
    Who wants to be hurt by their country?
    I used to hug police officers when they came to talk us in elementary school.
    Until they saw me as a criminal and start bashing my head on the way to putting me in the backseat.
    I was weak and fell to the pressure of wanting to drive when the law said I was not supposed to.
    I wanted to go to work. I also wanted to hang out with my friends and go to the beach and the park to play ball.
    My parents would have just gotten up really early and taken the bus to work and taken the bus back home and not driven to the beach but either would have gone with a friend who drives or taken the bus.
    As a kid the only time I went to the beach was on the bus or when an extended family member would take pity on us and take us with them.

    The point of these stories is not poor rube and how he had to overcome.
    Its that im not part of your america. I dont get to live by your rules. I dont have your rights.
    I should have known better. I knew better. I was told. I was 'smart' enough to know it myself.
    But I was weak, I just wanna party, party just for you.
    Grandpa told me to get my money. Money just for you.
    He came to us with nothing, mom brought him to the US.
    He got a government check every month as soon as he arrived.
    Free healthcare and everything else.
    He came a strapping 73 year old machete wielding 6'3 rancher in fantastic shape who looked more Germanic than you.
    He died a frail cancer patient that went from his neck to his bones in a few months after Kaiser told him he was in the clear at 76.
    He lived in my room, I lived in the living room. I had finally had a room of my own for the first time in my life at 13 but after a few months I had to share it with my grandpa and finally I had to move to the living room because he got so sick. I spent a lot of time with my grandpa everyday after school and in the summer. He was usually the only other person I saw when I got up and the only person I saw when I went to bed.
    One of the things he said though was this...

    This is America. And it is heaven on earth. But heaven is not a place earth.
    So dont get it twisted now. Dont catch you slippin now. Get your money.
    You are an old man. You are a dumb kid. You are both an old man and a dumb kid.
    Do a good job for us. Because you are our lawyer. Dont fuck this up.
    Fuck your school. Fuck the life you want for yourself.
    Go buy me some cigarettes and some lottery tickets.

    I would tell him it was against the law. He would tell me to stop being lazy and go get him his stuff.
    I would go to the liquor store and get rejected of course being that I was 13.
    But he was not having it. He kept sending me everyday and I kept going. Because.
    And always the same rejection. Then I went to 711 and the hindu sold me cigs and lottery tix.
    And my granda said to me... This is America. I just got here and they giving me free cigarettes and lottery tickets. This is America and the law is for the criminals. Dont be a criminal. America is heaven.
    But if you wish to be a criminal. This is America. It looks like a celly block. Dont get your Kodak shot.

    What you say is true, but its true in the same way that it was true that Moses killed a whipcracker who was beating on his brothers from other mothers.
    Then Moses had to go to the desert. And Moses said...
    This is America. I love America. What the fuck is happening to America.
    I am America. Why am I watching this show. What should I do about it.
    I am a prince of America. My future is laid out in front of me. These are my people though.
    This is America. The burning bush and all. Its Outer Heaven though.
    The pharaoh must be crazy. He looks like my brother though. I have no brothers though.

    Did Moses have to be a criminal and lead a life of crime?
    Had to ride dirty and do some dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
    Because someone has to get dirty. Not everyone can be clean.
    Because someone can get dirty. Not everyone can afford it.
    Only a prince. Only in America. Where a criminal don can be a king.

    I once asked my young nephew if he has ever thrown a punch.
    He said no.
    Then I asked him if he has ever been punched in the face.
    He said no.
    I have plenty of facial and cranial fractures from getting hit in the face.
    Hooray for me?
    No. But getting punched in the face by a bully is the best thing that can happen to a kid.
    Depending on how the kid reacts to the punch.
    Because you can learn a lot from a bully.
    I have never been able to punch a person in the face without feeling absolute dread and anxiety as I pull the trigger.
    I would go for their gut, the chest, their back, their neck even. I would attack pressure points as seen in the martial arts magazines I would save my money for and special order. Like my CD's imported from the UK with deeper cuts than the equivalent US released cd.
    My Queen's Greatest Hits 1 and 2 had songs yours didn't.
    Maybe all that queer music is what made me not be able to punch a guy in the face.
    I would head hunt of course but miss almost on purpose.
    Or maybe I just knew that they would cover up their face and leave their weaker spots exposed?
    Fights finish much faster when folks start covering their head. I was all about the ground and pound.
    But to the chest. People tap out quickly if you hit them in the right spots in the chest, neck and abdomen.
    I would always stay classy. No Johnny Cage funny business. I was strictly shaolin. Wu-Tang all the way.

    Anyhow, my nephew would drown in a glass of water over the minor stupid shit in his life.
    Like a woman. Not any woman. But most women. Because women are rarely punched in the face.
    My mom has been punched in the face and had her teeth kicked in all her life and she is the toughest SOB I know.
    She is not even in this world.

    Thing about memory myopia is that it is 100% real.
    Penn Jillette was asked recently if he can vouch for what Omarosa is saying about Trump saying nigger and fag or whatever.
    He said that he was in the room and heard everything.
    So is it true?
    I don't know he says. I am a storyteller. A big part of that is bullshit. Try telling an old story. Try to remember it straight.
    You will think you do. That is your brain on drugs. How does your toothpaste taste?
    Penn knows he is an unreliable narrator. Because we all are.
    If you think you want total recall just ask Quaid.
    We can remember it for you wholesale... because you just remember a story.
    And a story is a frame in which you put the snapshots that make up your memory.
    Then your programming fills in the blanks.
    That is why the moral of the story is to say "I dont know".
    Which is what Penn says.
    And he hates Donald Trump.
    But morally Penn cannot say what he remembers about Trump from his time on the Apprentice.
    Because he hates Trump. And his memories will be influenced by that emotion.
    And while he hates Trump he loves truth more.
    Penn knows that he does not have the full truth and nothing but the truth.
    And that Trump is no longer the head of the Apprentice but the head of the USA.
    Which means he is the president for most Americans.
    Penn knows that whatever he says will affect the nation greatly either way.
    So he stops himself.
    And that is pretty cool.

    Wait... you said Myopia?
    I thought you said something else.
    Maybe a couple of shiners will improve their eyesight.

    Perfect is the enemy.
    Good enough is better than perfect.
    Unless you are a literalist who has no knowledge of the real world.
    Don't try to bat 1000. You will always lose.
    Instead just try to help your team score a run.

    Yeah I wanted to share that on the Off Topic thread, even when @rube is coming at me his prose and choice of metaphors bring smiles, plural, to my face. Then I have to wipe my eyes, refill my cocktail and shut him down, but I too am smiling the whole way.

    You're having a good time roasting the newbie but...and maybe he's earning it but...

    It was ME who CORRECTLY asserted that we're a pretty 'cracker box' sort of sports blog at DSP. All whites with a smattering of latinos and asian blends. Like a lightly toasted cracker. Yeah now a week later my point is proven. So?

    It's All true. So? No one including me posted anything beyond making that simple TRUE assertion which has been irrationally responded to repeatedly.
    @rube no one cares about PSD... Maybe there were racist posters there.. so? No one is commenting there so stay focused.
    @LAdiablo the truth is that DSP has zero black posters today. So? As long as we're not denying that fact it's OK. Otherwise (I'm hoping) that no one at DSP cares about what skin color someone has so long as they hate the Giants. That 'should' be enough to unite us. Otherwise skin color confuses the issue more than not.. so let's keep the racist drumbeats to a min.

    I demonstrate that I don't care about skin color and will debate intellectual merits of race baiting with anyone of any race. So should everyone here. Let your salient logic be your only respite.



    Now just don't go claiming that DSP is NOT a right wing Faux News closet racist echo chamber and we're all good.

    I know you understand full well that even when I used hyperbolic language and pull out my blusterbuss that I never aim for a soft spot and am always looking to give you a shot in the arm.

    If folks talk about there not being black people here you are race baiting.
    There are also no illegal immigrants here.
    And there are also no nazis here.
    There are also no brazilians here.
    We used to have a guy from spain.
    We used to have black guys too. But then we used to have an active basketball forum.
    Was that racist?
    No, it was truth.
    And truth puts facts to shame.
    Because who cares that there are no blacks in a forum that is 99.9999% dedicated to a small group of Dodgers Baseball fans.
    And baseball and the Dodgers skew white/latino.
    They tried making that about race too a while back.
    How stupid are people to not understand that all those cubans, dominicans and puerto ricans are black.
    Yasiel Puig is black. He is from a country where most slaves first arrived before coming to the rest of the America.
    Cuba has always been the most segregated country between blacks and whites. Sure there are plenty of mixed people but it has always been a huge stigma to mix with the blacks in Cuba. And the point of that is that Puig has a much higher chance of having pure Africa running through his veins.
    Obama and Tiger have anglo and asian blood in large quantities. As do large swaths of the black population in america.
    Obama and Tiger types don't really fuck with baseball much. They want to play other sports.
    You need land to play baseball. And you need lots of time. Inner cities dont have much land or time.
    But in the country and in the suburban sprawl there is ample of both.
    Those are facts.
    The truth could be that the baseball does not want black players and therefore no one wants to build baseball diamonds near where black people live. That would be fucked up and pretty racist. Even if it was drawn down from a study that said that black people did not want to play baseball and so building diamonds would be a waste of money.
    Baseball would be dumb to be so racist and not try and get more black eyeballs on the game.
    And IMO we would be even dumber to believe that the case was that.
    Because they bring in boatloads of blacks like Yasiel Puig from other parts of the world.

    Puig has been a victim many times. Life has given him some fucked up experiences. But life gave him 5 tools to work on those problems.
    Which is why Puig is nobodies victim.
    He has a winners attitude. You dont go through the cuban communists and then sharks and then get owned by narco traffickers only to get met by prejudiced teammates like Greinke who treated him like shit.

    You wanna know what DSP is Cap?
    DSP is me.
    And you know something about me?
    Conservatives love me. Libertarians love me. Progressives love me.
    You know why?
    Because I don't parrot any of their bullshit.
    You are hard up on the voting thing. You are addicted to this democrat/republican shit. You view yourself as a centrist which is even fucking worse than being a democrat or a republican. Pick a side and stop being a wishy washy pussy.
    Third parties dont matter. We live in a dualistic society. Pick a binary and go with it.
    Or... dont play that fucking game.
    Play another game.
    You wanna play my game instead?
    Its all about mountains, beaches, and deserts.
    Stay away from the woods and the valleys.
    Except when you need to hunt.
    And then go well armed.

    Au contraire mi amigo Facts be Truth and Truth be facts, we'll have none of that 'Giuliani' "truth is not truth" doublespeak nonsense here...but continue...
    Yep we're agreeing here, baseball would be dumb to ignore ANY talent, I care not what color Puig is so long as he mashes. Nor do you.
    We agree again, you @rube do indeed spew your own flavor of shit. I don't mind it mostly but once in a while..
    OK we are still both Puig fans... despite his cabeza de repollo
    YOU choose to live that life buddy, I do not. I will remain an ACTIVE voter my whole life. I chase down my elected officials routinely and let them know what I think. Others don't vote and just piss and moan worthlessly on sports blogs. Why? Because it's easy anonymous and worth nothing. Way to extend your neck... Not. You got your $0.02 and don't spend it that's on you. Lots of countries have three or more successful political parties and if BOTH the GOP and DNC fuck me then I retain the right to vote elsewhere.. despite what shallow non-voters think.

    If YOU want to adhere to a dualistic society that's on you for being weak enough not to stand your ground.

    I stand and defend mine. Did you have any other points to lose?
