Since you posted my email and my ip address because i told you that
the law of america is right instead of going along with your ignorant
cliche of calling anyone that doesn’t believe breaking the law is
good, racist, I’ll find out who you are and come after you.
What is posting my IP address and email supposed to do for you?
All I said was %100 correct and the truth,
If you are trying to put me in “harm’s way” because I don’t agree
with your ignorance, i’ll put you in harm’s way.
I am glad people see what foolishness people like YOU have to spout,
because instead of putting your country first, you rant the same
garbage that a cornered criminal rants.
My uncle is a private investigator and he gave me software that i can
use to find anyone, since you are seeking me out, i’ll seek you out
and report you for invasion of privacy,
You are just like that creep hiding behind a fake identtiy and
calling themselves “abagond” as soon as someone tells you the truth,
you want to attack them personally. GROW UP.
You want to play nasty games and start a fight with someone you don’t
know that game will be played against you.

Many of the comments you posted however will remain in the Royal Trash Bin.

You like smearing people that don’t agree with you but i’m sure if
i put your personal info on the internet that you wouldn’t be kissing
me for it.

And yes i sent you a “personal” email because you think you have the

I reported you to wordpress and i sent a copy of your letter to me
to wordpress.
I see you think its fine to expose people’s personal info without
their permission on your blog, but i’m sure when the same is done to
you you would have a fit.
You are just like the ignorant illegals that you support, you think
the rules don’t apply to you and you can do whatever you want. This
ain’t Jaurez.

You have no right to post the ip and emails of me or other people
and if you don’t take it down i will go further and file a complaint
with internet crimes.
I told you off right when i said that you wouldn’t like it if i found
out your info and blasted it all over the net so who hell are you to
do that?
You removed the other people’s ip and emails but now you solely attack me.
This shows you have personal malice against me.
I will keep emailing you until you remove my personal info from your site.
I don’t want to get a court order but i will if i have to.
My emails are not harassing they are telling you simply,
you have no right to post my email or ip adrress on your site just
because you want to cause me harm and i didn’t agree with you and your
ignorant views.
And you had no right to do that to the other commenters either.
Take it down.
America was built on the fear of the other. Nothing must slip past the eyes of Uncle Sam. He is all seeing and all knowing. Everyone and everything must be accounted for.
Its okay to say you’re afraid of people who aren’t like you or that you are afraid will take something from you. If that’s true, then what are Americans afraid of? You can be robbed, killed, tortured, run over, assaulted, stolen from, slandered, etc. by people who are citizens in your own country. It can happen anytime and anyplace. Why does matter who did it and what country they came from illegally? Unless people are suggesting that those who immigrate to the U.S. illegally are here to commit crimes, this intense fear of illegal immigration doesn’t make any sense.
I’m just so sick of all the whining and bitching and moaning about how the “illegals” aren’t playing fair according to American rules. I’m sick of the same people stomping their feet and saying, “Wah! Wah! Uncle Sam–the illegals aren’t playing fair!!! They didn’t register with the government for proper documentation of citizenship–WAAAAH!”
Its not that I am “pro-illegal immigration”.
I. just. don’t. care as much.
And I don’t care as much because the history of the United States has taught me that the thing I should fear the most is within the borders of America, not outside of them.
Everyone’s affected by white fear because its contagious in this country because America is built off of it.
Stop the whining.
American citizens need to admit that border control is such a big deal to them because they are afraid. There’s nothing wrong with being afraid. Its when you let fear rule you that problems appear.
All day, every day,
Ms. Queenly
After yesterday’s little incident with a post about my blog on Americans for Legal Immigration, I must admit that I had to think about it. I know those kinds of people exist in the world–the kinds of people whose worldview is so narrow and attracted only to their own needs and desires so much that the lives outside of people who aren’t like them don’t matter. Their only concern is their safety and their well-being and their lives and what they think they own and their viewpoints, their families, their wants, needs and desires. They can never see or understand anything from other people’s perspective. They are the same kinds of selfish people that push, shove, trample people to death, and cause bodies to pile up in the emergency exists during building evacuations because they really believe their lives are so much more gotdamn precious than everybody else’s.
I know they exist… I just never thought they’d have so much to say. Its really scary stuff to have people react the way people on 10 Things That Tick Me Off All the Time or Occasionally did.
I used to be fearless. Now I know for certain that insistently close-minded people exist. And they have a lot to say. Their world is about the size of a needle in a haystack (to use an old cliche) and they never think outside of it. And that’s what’s really scary.
If they’re reading it they must like it right? ^_^
I have attracted some minor attention from Americans for Legal Immigration and this is what they had to say so far. *sarcasm* I got a thread started about my blog!
I attracted the attention of some of these type of people....
I mean I got called a buffoon but I also got over 100 views today.
My JROTC instructor, Sgt. Hall, always used to say there’s three things you don’t talk about in converstion: religion, politics, and other people’s mamas. I broke the cardinal rule, Sgt. Hall–I’M SO SORRY!
Kidding, I’m kidding. I’m not really sorry. Anywho–
There must be something great about Ms. Queenly’s political thoughts if they keep readin’ it.
Keepin’ it real, all day, everyday,
Ms. Queenly
Nita "Jade" Hanson called Laura Schlessinger hoping for advice and got shit in one hand and white racism in the other.
What do I say to that?
Right on!
Its an individual decision to forgive, forgive and forget, and/or let go. I would like to be like Jesus or Shirley Sherrod but I’m with Nita Hanson on this one. Maybe she’ll recant and accept the apology. I don’t know. What I do know is that I don’t accept those kinds of apologies. In relation to the Shirley Sherrod incident, I think Sherrod had no choice. The government had the power to ignore and belittle her if she pursued the issue without accepting their apology or appearing reasonable in a way that they could digest. Hanson or “Jade’s” situation is different: Schlessinger got caught on the air and there’s no way to deny it. The kind power dynamics (the governmental type) involved in Sherrod’s case are just not there. Hanson has every reason to refuse some lame ass apology from Schlessinger and she has.
Sometimes forgiveness is the answer. Sometimes it saves your sanity just to let certain things go. But sometimes I can’t help but think that when you forgive white people in particular for things like this the acceptance of the apology is all they want. Once you give it to them they move on and forget to change, thinking everything’s all good with them and “the blacks”. Accepting an apology is a political sign that its okay to drop the issue for many whites.
I think its better to leave them on the hot seat. Screw insincere apologies.
Initial Thoughts & More:
Shirley Sherrod turned down the position offered to her by the government “for now”.
The reverse racism cardholders reared their ugly heads to attack this Black woman. Then they want to hug you like
Then they want to hug you like they didn't do a damn thing wrong!
they didn’t do a damn thing wrong. Tragic, tragic! And damn infuriating.
Let’s take a moment to be positive:
Sherrod is being very benevolent, very PC, and very diplomatic about this. It shows the wisdom of her age and her graciousness and understanding, I feel. I, however, reserve the privilege of “acting young” and fired up about everything.
She’s being too optimistic and should be careful of looking too hard for good in a mostly bad situation. I understand that sometimes you just get to a point where you want to hear positive things and leave everything else alone but racism has never been good news for anybody whether they know it or not. She may be out of the loop on how racism operates today–I mean who knows? No one is omniscient. Or maybe she’s just playing the game and knows exactly what’s going on: One way you can’t win in a white world is by holding the proof of their injustice up for them to see. You have to learn how to do things their way and hope your Black skin isn’t eaten up by it and spit back on white. That’s my trouble adjusting–can’t do it.
Like the Black female caller on Schlessinger’s radio show who refused to accept the apology she offered, I think Sherrod made the right decision turning down that job even if she did graciously accept the apology. What she decides to do is up to her but I hope she isn’t being too naive and forgiving about the situation.
Read my initial thoughts on the situation.

“Things won’t get right until you face the past head on”
I was watching Celebrity Ghost Stories with my mom and someone said something that. Reading Miscellany101′s “America’s incessant internal battle with racism” I remembered that very recently I wrote something related [See Ms. Queenly's "Why Race Will ALWAYS Matter Especially in the United States"].
In people’s eagerness to forget the past they also forget or never realize the present and future’s relation to the past. America cannot move forward until it takes a long hard look at its past. This country is full of ghosts; not to be cliche or corny or anything but there can’t be any modicum of peace for the living or the dead until this miraculous act of acknowledging the past face-to-face happens.
For real always
Ms. Queenly
Its the one law that the white supremacists who invented America forgot to explain and state explicitly. What is an illegal person? Better yet, how can a person be illegal? Come on. Let’s be blatant about what we mean when we call someone illegal.
A lot of people in America, especially in Arizona right now, seem to be confused on their working philosophies of personhood and illegality. Instead they seem to have a need to send all the brown people back to where they came from so America can go back to the way it was befor– Wait a minute. Indigeneous peoples/”American” Indians were already here, African and Black peoples were bought and kept here in chains, and before there was a border everybody in Mexico just used cross from one side of the river to other–easy, no fuss.
I sense a theme here.
OMG! Ephiphany!
Could it be? Are white western European settlers the original “illegal aliens”? You know, the pale-looking ones that kind of just showed up on the continent, trickled in unannounced, started building houses, and breeding and inviting all their friends? Uh-oh–I might be on to something here!
Just the fact that Americans are calling people “illegal” shows that American law is glorified and romanticized for offering liberty, freedom, and justice, but the law itself is written and manipulated to keep people out. Certain bodies, certain people, are not allowed and it has nothing to do with the illegality of the actions and everything to do with them as people that certain groups are pushing an agenda to keep out.
Bottom line: People are not illegal. The act of entering America without citizenship (or some form of
Anti-SB 1070 Demonstration in Phoenix
visitation rights) is illegal. Academically, its called being “undocumented”. I can only hope that everybody falls in line with this kind of thinking, especially our friends in border states like Arizona. Actions are illegal and even illegal actions vary from state to state and country to country.
People are undocumented. Actions are illegal. Get the picture?
Don’t you wish you could send me back to Africa right now? (or Haiti–close enough huh) ^_^
Keepin’ it real,
Ms. Queenly
One of my good friends told me that whenever there’s a natural disaster in her home state a lot of middle to upper class white women call her and ask about how they can adopt those poor little brown children who’ve lost their families.
In the same vein, there is an outpouring of people adopting Black Haitian children after the earthquake last year and that most of the images of people trying to adopt them are of phenotypically white western families from places like the U.S.
Now for the question.
Yes or no: if someone asked me if I think white people should adopt Black children my answer would be “No”. By default.
Do I think Black people would make better parents because they’re Black? No.
After the earthquake, I attended a teach-in on Haiti and many of the Haitians there said the same thing. Some were desperate for aid in any way that they could get it and didn’t care who adopted the children or the fact that millions of donated dollars and aid is not reaching the people of Haiti.
Everybody’s situation has to be taken case by case. Not everybody’s a crazy vicious racist or even a colorblind one. Not everybody’s an incompetent inconsistent parent. It is only on principle that I don’t think whites should be adopting Black children. Not even my closest friend who is white and is one of the most empathetic intelligent and capable people that I know. The principle here is that white people will never understand what its like to be Black for the many Black peoples who share similar experiences in a white-dominated world. Oftentimes, when they even get a glimpse of what its like, it is by an unhappy accident.
What is most important is that adopting Black children appears to be a humanitarian Christian fad to some whites. Some even think that the children’s own communities of color are evil and incapable of providing for them like in The Blind Side or something. White, might, Christianity, and money automatically cures you of all wrongdoing. They treat children of color as if they are commodities, like so many brand name shirts on the rack to be demanded, supplied, and bought. See how liberal and American I am? they say proudly.
Another friend of mine–who is Black–married a white woman, divorced her, and doesn’t want her raising their daughter for the same reasons.
I do not hold it to be a universal truth that white people cannot raise Black children but it is funny how white people can ignore racism then they adopt Black children without understanding how their ignorance and privilege affects the children’s lives.
Sometimes Black children suffer with white parents/families and sometimes, some might argue, its better to have some family than no family at all.
