“Outside Ajee-taters!”

That was the preferred description of Americans who came south to march for civil rights for all, a century after the Civil War when nothing much had changed. Hippies didn’t exist then, and they were pretty much interested in drugs and “free love” (which meant getting girls to fuck guys who didn’t bathe often) when they came along. So Miller is being anachronistic in his Target and in his temperament. The whole point of the phrase was to declare the group discardable, ineffectual, and inconsequential. Rather like the way Southern racists regarded black people. Miller is down with that, too. White people who don’t recognize the superiority of white people, are no longer white themselves.

Not surprising, really. Most non-English, non-Germanic, non-Nordic people who came to America weren’t “white,” at first. Italians, Greeks, “Eastern Europeans (an uneasy dividing line); the Irish. The Scots got here early enough to leave their mark on the South, so they were okay by the time skin color and country of origin began to matter in America.

So this is not new stuff. It’s as American as Mom and cherry pie (interesting how “democracy” never made it into that list, isn’t it?) We just convinced ourselves we buried it with Dr. King, and scattered the ashes when we elected Obama.
They don’t count for a different reason. Not to Miller, I mean. Indeed. Why go to a museum that doesn’t tell us sweet lies? For white Americans, I mean. I just have to look at this video.
It's okay to be a deranged narcissistic sociopath like @realDonaldTrump , and it's okay to tweet like a deranged narcissistic sociopath like @realDonaldTrump if, in fact, you are a deranged narcissistic sociopath like @realDonaldTrump .

But if, like @GavinNewsom , you're not a deranged narcissistic sociopath like @realDonaldTrump , you are *not* allowed to make fun of a deranged narcissistic sociopath like @realDonaldTrump by tweeting like one.

The sheer lack of self-awareness is breathtaking.
