The oppression of a cultural group or minority is often responded to with actions and expressions of outrage that succeed in drawing attention to the cause but simultaneously discredit it through over-personalization.  

Rupert Murdoch apologized for the offense caused by a cartoon printed in the New York Post last week and assured readers that it’s intended message had nothing to do with racial issues. By calling for a boycott of the newspaper and insisting upon discussions with the Post’s chairman, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are damaging their own credibility.  Directing their energy toward more positive actions in the vein of the new president they are claiming to defend, would help their cause infinitely more than harping on a perceived criticism.

Although I only read the Post when nothing else is available and think the cartoon in question is in poor taste, I nevertheless see the attention surrounding it as an opportunistic attempt at self-victimization.  

What I like about Obama is that he sees himself as a politician first and incidentally – but not without pride and honor – the first black President of the United States.  He gives the subject of his racial identity its due but perhaps not as much as those around him.  He’s more concerned with getting things done and making progress and is, in the meantime, doing infinitely more for racial equality than every boycott, protest and demand for apology combined.  

The Post responds to critics here.

The threesome is a double-edged sword.  I should start by saying that I’ve only been involved in threesomes that comprise another woman and a man, both heterosexual.  It makes sense; a couple wants to experiment a little, another woman is usually more agreeable to them both than another man (if I were part of the initiating couple, I think it would be different).  Often, I find, although the woman might be the one to initiate the adventure, she doesn’t want another woman fucking her husband/boyfriend.  She wants her husband/boyfriend to lust after her being lusted after by another woman. 

The first time I was going to be getting down and dirty with a girl, I wasn’t expecting to like it.  I really am just basically into cock.  She was soft and sweet however, and I found myself enjoying it and understanding why men enjoy it.  Dick and Jane were a young, hip couple with the desire to keep their sex life interesting.  The three of us had been to a strip club, gotten naked with Irina in the Diamond Room and made our way back to the hotel.  Dick was off limits to me; my focus was to be on Jane and to listen to Jane’s instructions.  I had an amazing time focusing on Jane but I won’t say it was easy, after hours of playing, to end up watching her get all of Dick’s attention; the voyeur my ultimate role.

My personal fantasy is to be with two men, one my partner (someone who’s mine for the time being), the other a guest.  Yep, I want all the attention, fully, from both of them.  My partner will watch the guest and I, then the guest will be the attentive voyeur while my partner gives me all the Dick I can handle

Sorry gentlemen but this woman will not entertain you for large sums of money.  Her publicist said so specifically in a press release today.  She is not a ‘high-fallutin’ call-girl – in fact, she comes from a good family.  She’s Julie Henderson, current (but not paid) companion of Russell Simmons.

Hmmm, I’ve always thought I came from a good family…

I believe that if you wish hard enough, your desires will eventually come true.  Case in point – I finally got my head-face-down-in-the-pillow-treat-me-like-a fuck-toy action.  And a bit more, with (hopefully) more to come.  I also learned a few things about myself.  I got a compliment on my cock-worshiping abilities, for example.  A pleasant surprise – I knew I liked it, just never thought of putting it that way before.  Saturday afternoon, lying in the luminance of an overhead light, naked, sticky, sweaty, messy, exposed, content.
