The news always fits because they make it up
A long standing institution in the midwest (well, Madison, Wisconsin at first), the print ‘newspaper’ The Onion is a satiric and sometimes outrageously absurd skewing of the news. Some stories mirror current events, yet others reflect the staff’s (and audience’s) dryer sensibilities when it comes to humor.
In addition to fake news, The Onion also produces some real journalism in the form of The Onion A.V. Club, providing weekly reviews of books, movies and music in addition to hard-hitting artist interviews and general entertainment information.

I believe the Justin Timberlake travesty committed at the conclusion of the duet he and Janice
Jackson sung at half-time of the Super Bowl was an atrocious, deliberate public rapelike
violation of that woman on his part not unlike historic and white-male rape of African-American
females since they have ever come around Black Females and especially since African-American
Females were drug to these American shores by white males not only for free labor but free
violative sexual abuse. A practice started in slavery continued after slavery until stopped by
the Black Conscious movement of the 1960’s and the organization of African-American males who
patroled the African-American neighborhoods, many openly armed, which was legal, driving away
white males who had always preyed on Black poverty, haunting the Black neighborhoods in search of
what they referred to as “clean colored girls” meaning they didn’t want a professional
prostitute, they wanted a young, untouched African-American female that they could turn-out, and
these white males had no qualms driving up asking young children, adolescent males and females
“say, sonny, say girly can you tell me where I can find a clean colored girl?” Another
traditional white male practice was to bring his son on his 16th birthday into the Black
neighborhood in search of a sexual experience with a Black female stating that “he should have at
least one experience with a colored girl in his life”. It is this crap and police brutality,
another form of raping African-Americans that the Black Panthers took up arms according to the
2nd Amendment and drove that traffic out of our neighborhoods.
However, the white male never ceases to re-invent the rape of African-American females in some
form. The oscar-winning “Monster’s Ball” starring Halle Berry in which there were several
gratuously, graphic violent rapes of the African-American female that Halle Berry played,
translated - the rape of Halle Berry. Or take any movie depicting a male-female sexual encounter
between a white make and a Black female, it is never romantic or respectful, nor does it ever end
on a “happy-ever-after-note”. Even if at first it starts off that the white male show genuine,
sincere tender interest. That is just to sucker, probably the African-American, audience in.
The next thing you know the white male character verbally defiles her, then brutally, sexually
ravages her, then tosses her aside like a dirty rag, and she usually either is killed off in the
end or has to leave town in tears and pain. Somehow or other the white males believe it is their
birthright, their manifest destiny to denigrate the African-American female.
One can see clearly these rapacious, ravenous, often murderous white male encounters with
African-Americans is done deliberately for their public braying because put a Black male in the
same situation with whites and you don’t get these kind of outcomes. For example, let’s talk
about deliberate white male police brutality and murder of African-Americans. Why is it that
African-American police officers aren’t killing up white people at the “same rate” as white
police officers killing up African-Americans? Why aren’t African-American police officers
claiming they believed a white person’s billfold was a gun and felt it necessary to defend
themselves by shoting and killing the white person the way white police officers claim to have
been threatened by a Black person’s billfold or cellphone and had to defend themselves by shoting
and killing the Black person who didn’t even know the police were stashed in the bushes near
their home? Or, why is it that African-American police officers making simple traffic stops
aren’t clubbing to death, shoting to death, and strangling white motorists with their billy clubs
like white police officers - let alone the same rate - it just doesn’t happen when the police
officer is Black and the motorist is White!
Then there are the myriad other social rapes of African-Americans where we are charged more for
cars, housing, interest rates when all things are equal between the African-Americans and the
counterpart whites. This is not only rape but vampirish bloodsucking of our very life’s blood
because it took hours of our lives to earn that money that is our lives rapaciously sucked out of
us as whites overcharge us just because we are African-American. The more things change, the
more they stay the same. And I hope Janice Jackson sues Justin Timberlakes butt until he is
drained blue of every dime he owns or ever hopes to earn!!!

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
