By now if you haven’t noticed the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has raised every “liberal” and “conservative” pundit to great moral soothsaying and even though they seem to have missed the mark they just can’t seem to put their distorted OPINIONS aside and shut the fuck up.

You can learn something new everyday!

Now while this was all unfolding Tubularsock lacked interest in the subject but as the trial reached its crescendo it just became too loud to ignore.

And so Tubularsock started his research.

Now Tubularsock is not going to regurgitate all his steps and yes Tubularsock did wear his hip boots and hazmat suit that is a very trendy pastel but the information is shocking and more shocking is the lock-stop-mind-fuck that is being spewed as accurate.

Let Tubularsock clear this up for you in a simple, clear, honest format.

Kyle Rittenhouse stated his actions were based ON SELF DEFENSE. PERIOD!

All the direct action is ON VIDEO. Look at the video.

It really doesn’t matter whether you are Black, White, or fucking Chartreuse. Look at the video!

From that point it is clear: Four STUPID WHITE GUYS go male hormone crazy attempting to recreate a B rated action movie script but in REAL LIFE!

This had NOTHING to do with Black Lives Matter or race or White Supremacy. And this so called “vigilante” trope is all hype and bullshit.

What you do have was four stupid white boys lost and disengaged from sound thinking.
As happens when you are running around in the street after dark with crowd energy reacting without clear thought.

You have two white guys that brought guns to a riot, a guy with a possible lethal skateboard and a guy who was wacko with mental issues.

And they all meet and collide with different agendas with the end result of two dead, one wounded and one running to the police lines for protection and to turn himself in.

You can watch it on the video and see for yourself.

It doesn’t take “A Philadelphia Lawyer” as the saying goes to look at this video and determine SELF DEFENSE”. That is clear.

You have three guys with different motives engaging Kyle Rittenhouse.

Rittenhouse has a AR-15-type rifle and was protecting an auto business from looters, or so the story goes.

Joseph Rosenbaum, who was on antidepressants and had just been discharged from the hospital after a suicide attempt started to follow Rittenhouse after a crowd clashed with Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum started to chase him and got himself shot.

Anthony Huber went after Rittenhouse and attempted to grab the rifle and hit Rittenhouse in the neck with his skateboard and got himself shot.

Gaige Grosskreutz approached Rittenhouse who was on the ground. Grosskreutz approached with his hands held up with a pistol in his hand. As he lowered his gun toward Rittenhouse Rittenhouse fired and hit Grosskretz.

At this point Rittenhouse got to his feet and ran toward the police lines for safety and attempted to turn himself into the the cops. They told him to go home.

Rittenhouse then attempted to go to the police station but could not get in due to barricades keeping people away from the police station.

Rittenhouse then proceeded home and turned himself in to his hometown police.

THE VIDEO shows all this clearly.

These are the facts as proven by his defense.

No Black people were involved but those close had the good sense to duck and cover. Something one learns living in a Black neighborhood from a very early age. Tubularsock has direct experience having lived in such a neighborhood for a number of years.

The White guys were not all that bright. Tubularsock has learned early that one does NOT rush a person with a gun. Unless you are James Bond and trust Tubularsock on this, YOU’RE NOT!

Each of these guys were carrying their own agenda and the outcome was played out in a predictable horrid way. No surprise there. Bringing a gun to a riot is not the best approach to the situation. No question about that!

However there is a much bigger and far more dangerous orchestration of this entire episode of stupidity.

And that is the bias news stories being exposed in front of your eyes. Tubularsock figures the MSN organization just stay in their own echo chamber and spout total “woke” bull shit. It is enough to make Tubularsock want to grab his AK-47 and blast Tubularsock to stardom!

LOOK AT THE GOD DAMN VIDEO YOU ASSHOLES!

And knock off this total misrepresentation of THIS incident!

Aunt Jemima: PANCAKE LIES MATTER!

Now just hold on a minute! Tubularsock’s White Privilege is being stepped on and there is just no call for it!

Ok. Ripping down Confederate Generals statuary and tossing them into to the dust bin of history is OK with Tubularsock.

But melting down ALL those fucking American Generals and all that statuary with the lowly solider sacrificing to get the fucking imperialist flag to the top of the hill as a symbol of “winning” must be destroyed as well.

Just promoting that shit should be a fraudulent offense with substantial prison time.

And while Tubularsock is at it, lets remove and destroy all that statuary that show all those abolitionists promoting freedom from slavery!

And all those bronze lifeless slaves reaching dramatically for freedom frozen in time does not improve the facts on the ground!

So get busy right now. There is something scary about a society that will spend its money on bronzing the past and not changing it in real time. It is looking and idealizing in the WRONG direction!

Which of course leads us directly to Aunt Jemima.

Aunt Jemima isn’t the old school Aunt Jemima with the “do rag” on her head and a skillet in her hand any more. They (the corporate interests) upgraded Jemima all the way back in 1989! Her label image looks more like Doris Day, a solid white lady!

Get up to date!

Now there is no question that there is a racial stereotype built into Aunt Jemima that carries the idea that Black woman are caretakers and great cooks and great storytellers.

Wow. We all know that those stereotypes are JUST NOT TRUE! Right?

Especially if you spend any time around Black women. They yell at their children, they sit like fat queens on their welfare couches sucking in the government dole, and they argue with their deadbeat husbands constantly. Right? Hmmm.

That may be just a different stereotype which when it comes to any subject, the view always comes from the viewer. And is ALWAYS loaded with the viewer’s beliefs and prejudices. Not very solid in facts as it comes from the eye of the beholder now is it.

But there are some facts that do exist around Aunt Jemima which are fascinating. Some of those facts may have been overlooked. And those facts go like this.

In 1889, Aunt Jemima became a pancake mix spokeswoman for the Peal Milling Company but that Aunt Jemima was based on a minstrel show performance where a white male actor would, dressed as a woman in black face to perform the Aunt Jemima character.

Though popular in Minstrel Shows which at time were horrendously racist this Aunt Jemima rendition didn’t really work as a pancake mix promotional technique.

However after Peal Milling sold to R.T. Davis Milling Company, the new company hired a “real-life former slave” named Nancy Green who for the next 33 years would work as “Aunt Jemima” and would conduct pancake seminars at fairs and travel to towns across America to spread the word about the pancake mix.

Lets ponder that for just a minute. A former BLACK slave was hired for 33 years to act out a part to sell pancake mix.

Employment for 33 years. And a BLACK woman in the 1890’s!

From another point of view, talk about the power of women and feminist freedom rather than “slavery” and this story becomes pretty much a success story.

It is all in the way one wants to views it.

After Quaker Oats bought R.T. Davis Milling Company, which by this time had changed its name to Aunt Jemima Mills Co., there was no real life person “playing” Aunt Jemima for the next decade except for a short time.

Between 1933 to 1935, Anna Robinson played the character for Quaker Oats until she was replaced by Anna Short Harrington.

Anna Short Harrington came from being a sharecropper with her husband and raising five children to being hired by Quaker Oats Co. as the new Aunt Jemima around 1935.

“Chauffeured or flown by jet around the country, Harrington served Aunt Jemima–brand pancake mix at store openings and other public events, living a lifestyle that eluded most blacks and whites. By the time of her death, the former sharecropper owned two homes and lived in an area occupied by the black elite of Syracuse.” (South Carolina Encyclopedia)

Again, a former BLACK sharecropper HIRED for nearly 20 years to act out a part to sell pancake mix.

Employment nearly 20 years. And a BLACK woman in the 1930’s!

It is all in the way you look at Aunt Jemima.

Racial stereotype, or employment opportunity.

In 1989, Quaker Oats updated Aunt Jemima’s look from the “do rag” head gear to a more modern “Doris Day” look.

Using Harrington’s youngest daughter Olivia Hunter as the “new-modern-look” of Aunt Jemima.

And now there is a call to boycott Aunt Jemima products because of the Black Lives Matter movement

position that ahhhh ………. well pretty much a silly waste of energy and direction.

 

Maybe AUNT WHITE BETTY’S pancake mix would be a better name anyway. Even if it would end black female employment!

Guess it is all in the way you look at it!
