"Is it the N word, Pat?"

 


I'm going to go out on a limb and say those black servants who Daddy Musk said were Elon's friends would probably disagree.

Elon claims he grew up in a not so fancy upbringing, better than some, but not the money bags he is today. Yet, they had servants. Oh, I apologize, I meant his friends, who cleaned his toilet, washed his skid marked undies, then went home to their shanties in the bantustans.

Remember Paula Deen, who wanted to throw a plantation wedding? The servants would be black men (only she didn't say, "black") dressed as slaves.

It wasn't until Deen was sued by a former employee the truth of Deen's use of the N-word was exposed.**

 


Deen said she was deeply sorry. She didn't think anything wrong when using the derogatory word. Why they said it all the time down South, y'all. What's the fuss?

I remember Deen hitting the morning shows to blubber her apologies. She held the hand of one of her male, black employees as she said they were friends and he understood she was just a big ol' kidder. The extreme discomfort from everyone on the set was palpable, especially from her employee, who said nothing as he tried to pull his hand away.*

I don't remember the first time I heard the word, but I know it wasn't from my parents. So it was most likely from a neighbor. A moment that still stays with me is when mom needed a ride to a doctor's appointment. Our neighbor, "Virginia" agreed to drive her. I think I was included because Mom was going to buy school shoes for me afterwards.

As Mom went in for her appointment, Virginia and I sat in the car. I was sitting in the back, reading, when I heard Virginia gasp. She hissed at me, "Maggie, lock your door. Now!" I looked up to see a black male walking by the front of the car. I don't remember if I locked the car door or if Virginia did. I do remember hearing the click, and felt my face burn in shame when I saw the man turn his head our way. He had heard it as well. 

Her reaction was not an anomaly. It was America. 

Still is.

But, getting back to Elon, who is concerned white men are being vilified and treated most unfairly today. He found an orange friend who heartily agrees with his beliefs, who also grew up with a Daddy who cheated people of color every day of his life and taught little Donny the ropes.

2025, and we still discriminate because of the color of skin. 

It's the reason Trump has been given carte blanche to destroy the planet.

I call him the other N word. 

Nazi.

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
