Due to contractual demands, my disgust with my fellow Americans, and the fact that my daughter is now old enough to think for herself, RaceAgainstRace is officially closing its doors, I will cease to add posts to this cathartic website after Turkey Day.

I would like to thank Sara Silver, who reacted passionately to today’s shocking surprise win by Donald “Billionaire Groper” Trump.   She showed true colors today, raising her voice in frustration at high school conservatives.  There is some hope for this country, we just need to get out of the way of the kids!

Don’t worry so much, America, Obamacare will likely survive the next eight years, as will gay marriage and abortion.  If Reagan couldn’t destroy Social Security, Welfare, or Abortion rights, how will the dumbest President since W do any damage?

I started this website because I have been subjected to many unforgivable acts of racism from fellow NYers (gentrification included, fake liberals)!  You know what, I DON’T FORGIVE YOU!  I just have better things to do, now that I have a job.

In the past few years I have worked through life-long depression, and have come out on the other side a little smarter, and much healthier.  How have you done, White America?  As you keep taking illegally gotten opiates, OD and do no real jail time for your crimes, I can’t help but laugh.

As I watch people being unnecessarily shot, unlawfully detained, and killed in police custody, I can’t help but laugh.  As I live through watching yet another neighborhood I can barely afford to live in peacefully accept new Caucasian neighbors, I can only laugh.

As I watch you fail to expand your cities, because Euro-wanna bees don’t want to commute on trains or buses with their OWN neighbors, I can only laugh.

That’s how I got through my anger — by laughing at you, so desperate for power, you would elect someone who has no experience serving the public, who can’t debate an equal without behaving childishly, and admits to committing sexual assaults against women.

Eat it, White America, we minorities will outnumber you nationally quite soon, immigration reform or not!

In the meantime, fellow warriors of race, enjoy the site, before I start deleting stuff.

What can I say about Larry Bartles, author of today’s featured NY Times Op-Ed?  This fact-based opinion should be good news to people who care about approaching a post-racial America.

Mr. Bartels wrote, “The single largest difference in positions between either party’s presidential candidates and swing voters over the past three decades has been on the issue of racial policy. On average, Republican candidates have been seen as just six points to the right of the political center on the question of government assistance to African-Americans. Democratic candidates have been 26 points to the left…

“Using survey data from the authoritative American National Election Studies, [Larry Bartels] tracked the positions of swing voters (those who are most likely to be pivotal in a close election) and core partisans (the most committed and politically active members of each party’s base) on five important issues since 1980 — government spending, jobs, aid to African-Americans (the survey asks if the federal government should make every “effort to improve the social and economic positions of blacks”), military spending and overall liberal-conservative ideology. [He] compared these positions with the positions of the parties’ presidential candidates (as assessed by politically well-informed citizens in each election year who were asked to place the candidates on the same issue scales they used to place themselves).

Across all five issues, the average distance between Democratic and Republican core partisans increased by almost one-third between 1980 and 2012, from 26 points to 34 points on a 100-point scale. On average, the Democratic base moved 1.5 points further to the left of swing voters, while the Republican base moved 6.5 points further to the right.”

An article worth reading, fellow citizens!

Dear Faithful and Loyal Readers;

Due to my desire to make a better impact on my city, my blog must go on temporary summer hiatus, as I delve to further my personal mission to making OUR great apartheid-like, second-class-filled nation a truly fair one.

This summer, I will wander the urban dessert, as many before me, to find my Mecca, as Ta-Nehisi Coates teaches.  (And if you don’t know who that is, you are hereby condemned to read every entry of my blog since inception, slacker!)  I will re-post some of my favorite entries just to say, “Hey!”

Don’t worry about what I am doing (not your business, nosy!)  What are YOU doing to save the future?

I am starting in my own backyard, but what will YOU do this summer to make the world more fair?

Will you help underprivileged children read, while gentrifying their neighborhood, so they someday cannot afford to live there?

Will you work to eliminate state voting district gerrymandering, while supporting your local congressperson to maintain their power?

There are countless ways YOU can help the less fortunate around you, while pretending they don’t exist as you commute.  Volunteer in a mediocre fashion at something to promote fairness TODAY!

In the meantime, enjoy my old stories, I crack myself up watching my imaginary news crew pull no punches on the issues of the day.  Sing a song parody, re-create one of my satirical plays with your friends, or just fill up a high-pressure water cannon and play the Civil Rights Game, knocking people of color down in a fake protest!

Until the dog days of summer, fellow race warriors!

Love and war,
Sara Silver, Tony Danzig, and Ren Louis!

[To be sung to Adele’s “Hello”]

Hello, Mercury.
You and Venus are so very hot, but she is more gassy,
Not like the others, like Mars and Earth,
They are the planets where you likely find live things and birth.

Hello, Jupiter,
I help Saturn’s icy rings shine in the universe.
And Asteriods are not a disease,
They spin around just like planets, except with holes like cheese

There’s such a difference between us
200,000 light years wide.

Hello from the Milky side
200,000 light years wide
And this whole galaxy, is moving through space
At 340 per second, it can win any race

Hello from the Solar side,
400 Billion stars outside,
And that’s only the size of our Milky Way,
There are million billion more stars in the way in our home.

Hello, Uranus?
It’s so typical of children to make fun of butts,
I know, Neptune is laughing
But at least folks can recall you, Neptune’s always last

It’s no secret that all of us,
Are missing Pluto right now.

Hello from the Milky side,
200,000 light years wide
And this whole galaxy, is moving through space
At 340 per second, it can win any race

Hello from the Solar side,
400 Billion stars outside,
And that’s only the size of our Milky Way,
There are million billion more stars in the way in our home.

This Black History Minute is brought to you by Gecco Insurance:  If you’re Peter Pan at a high school reunion, you stay young and treat your oldest friends like crap, it’s what you do.  Gecco Insurance is a proud supporter of popular characters that are rarely played by people of color during Black History Month.

Peter Pan sings,
“You make me feel so young,
You make me feel like whites have sprung…”

What do The Oregon Standoff and Tamir Rice have in common?  Both involve white supremacy and institutional racism at its worst.  But now humor must be injected next, now that the initial premise has been established.

How can you tell one racist event from the other?  One event is a preposterous claim from American authorities that it’s okay to cheat a minority group, and the other is a lame land grab.  Oh wait, they are both land grabbing events.

One makes it easy to point out that there is a double standard in this country’s gun policy and public property use, and the other….

One shows how someone that’s dark-skinned can’t enjoy this country the same as white people do.   Hmm, I’ll have to finish this draft when our country makes sense.

The Sara Silver Chronicles – Continuing coverage of the race war in America, told by a fed up 13 year-old.

The Lenape Nation is cautiously positive with Whitesboro’s recent decision to change it’s town seal, despite repeated votes to keep the seal as it is.  Why would a New York town be content with the image of an American pioneer beating an American native?

“History” seems to be the word included in replies from many Whitesboro citizens, apparently not happy enough with the fact that the name of the town is already called Whitesboro.

The Daily Show’s Jessica Williams proposed a more accurate image of the two iconic figures strangling a British redcoat, as the two sides were allied during the American Revolution.  Common sense, however, is usually the first victim of ignorance.

The masterful sitcom “Parks and Recreation” mocked such poor decisions since its start, but satire on a national scale was not enough to sway these townies during the past decade.  Perhaps this story is a microcosm of the NFL Washington R–skins controversy, but at least the slug-like pace of American progress is moving in the right direction.

Reporting live, from the sticks…

Can’t figure out why Donald Trump is being taken seriously in our country?  Didn’t you know it’s cool to be racist again?

Let’s laugh later, first a history lesson in American White Supremacy from one of the most important organizations in the fight against racism, the Anti-Defamation League, now over 100 years old.

Congratulations, ADL, a hundred more years!

Black History Month is coming up, so you know I’ll be there to tear it to shreds.
