White women & cyber cowards

-
After I blocked her faceless friend @NotGayDalek - who, by the way, is tiresomely gay (for some reason buffoons think irony is the height of witticism) - from contacting me this fag hag Lindsay Smith took up his whiny cause with hallmark triteness that has, sadly, become standard for their "community." 

I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one.

Here is what Chaz Bono would look like if she still wore women's make-up:

      @NotGayDalek @TWPtilden Seriously? His ideals can't stand up unless he can see someone's face to attack them personally?

@nighttime_linz Correct. Arguing with someone you can't see is as asinine as shadow boxing in the dark.

Wouldn't be surprised if liberals lead the charge.

A poem about illegal Mexicans

-
Came across the following comment to Arit Young's piece Obama Isn't Deporting 'Gangbanger' Immigrants, But Ones Who Run Red Lights. 

I come for visit, get treated regal,
So I stay, who care I illegal?
I cross border, poor and broke,
Take bus, see employment folk.
Nice man treat me good in there.
Say I need to see welfare.

Welfare say "You come no more,
We send cash right to your door."
Welfare checks, they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep you healthy!
By and by, I got plenty money,
Thanks to you, American dummy.

Write to friends in motherland, 
Tell them come as fast as you can,
They come in rags and Chebby trucks,
I buy big house with welfare bucks.
They come here, we live together.
More welfare checks, it gets better!

Fourteen families they moving in,
But neighbor's patience wearing thin.
Finally, white guy moves away,
Now I buy his house, and then I say,
"Find more aliens for house to rent"
And in the yard I put a tent.

Send for family, (they just trash),
But they too draw welfare cash!
Everything is mucho good,
And soon we own the neighborhood.
We have hobby----it's called breeding,
Welfare pay for baby feeding.

Kids need dentist? Wife needs pills?
We get free! We got no bills!
American crazy! He pay all year,
To keep welfare running here.
We think America darn good place!
Too darn good for the white man race.

If they no like us, they can go.
Got lots of room in Mexico!

Centrality of black people in Toni Morrison works

-
Clint Eastwood makes a WWII movie with 100% white soldiers and it is barely a cinematic footnote that the movie's American army has no black people. Toni Morrison's imagination - and every Negro writer with a predominance of black characters - projects a world full of people who look like her and the question is "Why?"  

Reducing James Baldwin to his bedroom

I came across a clip of James Baldwin speaking that I hadn't before seen. The particular segment of the clip concerned what white people knee-jerkingly like to (dis)regard as the race card. (You'll notice they never play the race card -as if, for that matter, it is a literal card game or a game in any general sense of the word - only we do.) As it concerned a discussion of "the nigger" I wondered why John Aravosis, founder of Americablog, made a point of mentioning Baldwin's sexuality and dress. So, too, did a few of the article's comments. The majority of the readers, though, were successfully distracted.

Below is the exchange which followed between me and the single-minded Aravosis on Twitter:

   @twptilden because we're proud of him being gay, and I think he's a worthy role model for a lot of young gays

   @AMERICAblogGay Only thing is James Baldwin was not 'a gay.' Didn't make his living or mark on the world as being gay. He was about smthg!

   @twptilden I'm not sure I understand your pt. He was as gay as he was black as he was a man. And his gay mark has been made now

   @AMERICAblogGay Weak. Like celebrating F.Scott Fitzgerald for having #wife. Or drinking lots of gin. Since both were 'equally' true of him.

Dear Egypt: Stop the mass execution

-
From the hoopla of Arab spring - remember that? - to President Mubarack's prison release to this: a court in Egyptland has actually sentenced over 500 people to death! No hyperbole. Exactly 528 people have been sentenced to a mass execution.

This is unreal! And, yet, it is very, very seriously real.

Follow the link below to read more about this tragedy. Alongside the article you will have a chance to sign a petition (to hopefully make a change):

Larry Scott, champion bodybuilder 1938-2014

-
I just learned Larry Scott passed away over a week ago. Only yesterday I was flipping through my collection of Physique Pictorial and paused to look at a photograph of him posing his bicep. I am a little surprised not to have heard about his death in more real-time. Even though I haven't a television I read the headlines daily and follow some fitness and bodybuilding Twitter accounts. Guess that speaks volumes of the state of the sport. (I bet if any bodybuilder had, say, died from cardiac arrest owing to preparation for a contest before/during/after the event there would have been a media frenzy cautioning (parents) against the dangers of the sport.)

what gains a man if he has everything but loses his soul?

In addition to his regional, Mr America and Mr Universe titles, Mr Scott was the first winner of the Mr Olympia competition, a contest invented and organized by Canadian muscle entrepreneur Joe Weider and brother. He successfully defended the title the following year -- and promptly retired. At 28 years old! Years later he would admit the real motivation behind the unexpected move: fear. In biblical parlance, what gains a man if he has everything but loses his soul? Mr Scott, newly wed, uprooted from L.A. and resettled in Utah where he gained spiritual fulfillment in Mormonism and operated gyms and fitness supplement businesses.  

When I was in the 7th Grade I remember reading an ad in a comic book  and writing to Larry Scott for the advertised booklet on muscle building. He never replied and I never got the booklet, and I wrote him an angry letter in turn. From that point onward I didn't like him so much. (But years later when I got into the sport and modeling his images were among the dozens I would photocopy to study and practice in my room and gym mirrors; yes all those mirrors serve a real purpose, folks.) Mr Scott's health and vigor were impeccable and his legendary biceps were authentically some 20" big...unlike this fool here.     

(L.A.Times obituary)

in 1991 (around age 52)

and how!

Are you a fan of fitness like me? Would love to hear back from readers who met Larry Scott or saw him guest pose.

This guy, Arlindo de Souza, is no more a bodybuilder than Chaz Bono is a man...just as a decoy duck ain't a duck. My, my, my what times are these where bona fide fakes are granted legitimacy!
