Democracy Now “Tough Love” host Mike Zinnia on Race

Race and making fun of blacks and blind folk was discussed on the self labeled Antagonistic Mike Zinnia show this week as presented on “Democracy Now” cable. His show “Tough Love “is underwritten by Zircon Corp. Hope the race police do not shut them down or boycott them for racism. Probably not, the show was done by very liberal Zinna and two blacks.

Sam Adams was one of his guests. The other was Karen Brown G……(I missed her last name, can anybody tell me what it was?) said the line is crossed when someone who was made fun of is personally offended by any satire. Especially when those offended, even as public persons, individually protest, saying the satire has crossed the line and offended them. Legally blind New York Governor Patterson said that about the skit this year on SNL.

To no ones outrage, Zinnia said the video of that SNL show which was posted on youtube had been pulled and was no longer available.

About the personal offense as the metric to define when satire crosses a line, a surprised Zinnia said to Karen, “come on, someone is offended by everything”, to which Karen definitively replied……”well”……..

It frankly did not seem like she would allow such a consideration as that for white heterosexual old men. She also suggested in a non-sequitor that the flag should not be burned. Interesting lady. Wish Zinnia had asked her about her reception of somebody like Bush protesting and being offended by being called the many names he was and is called.

Zinnia replayed a 2009 Presidential roast when the comedian made fun of Rush Limbaugh and he asked if the line was crossed when the comedian said she hoped Limbaugh would destroy his liver with drugs and die, all to much laughter by the entire audience and head table where Obama sat.

All three on the “Tough Love” show laughed out loud at that, but no one answered that seemingly rhetorical question about Limbaughs theoretical protest. Were I to foolishly point out the racial criteria involved in this situation and their choices, without even calling it a racist  action on their part, I could of course expect a chorus of charges of racism on my part.

The industry of race baiting by charging racism in such a legally discriminating way, is a despicable act, highly detrimental to our entire country, but it is a highly profitable activity.

Bring it on, everybody should make fun of everybody without regard to anything, according to Sam Adams, award winning journalist in 2003 and 2009 award winning comedian.

Laughs were relived by all three when discussing the Eddie Murphy Saturday Night Live skits making fun of Stevie Wonder, a very popular modern American blind musician.

When asked by Zinnia why his guest, Sam Adams, does not look like the Sam Adams on the beer bottle, Sam replied that the one on the bottle is Sam Adams lite, smiling and indicating he is the Real Sam Adams.

Sam is a funny guy, check him out here if you missed his link above.

He is on facebook as you can imagine so consider friending him here.
