The Unbearable Whiteness of Being (A Nashville Liberal)

February 1st, 2006 at 10:36 pm by Smantix

Like some Conradian clarion to explore The Heart of Dorkness, the interweb beckoned:

With a job approval at 39 percent, Bushie’s SOTU is sure to be a widely viewed and jeered event. Here in East Nashville, progressives will gather at the 5-Spot to see what new failures King George has in store for us.

But Bushie isn’t unpopular everywhere. The Boy King gets his highest approval ratings from Utah, the nation’s most Rethuglican state. (via Wonkette) They love him in White Utah.

At last, an opportunity to immerse myself among a throng of aging, self-hating, white liberals in their natural environment. “Natural environment” being a historically black neighborhood that has been racially cleansed of all black people so that white liberals can ensure that their investment pays off in spades. It can’t just be their love of money and hatred of black people that led them to infect the urban jungle with their Volkswagens and Honda Civics.

Though 40 degrees outside, the air is as thick as it is acrid. Perhaps this pollution was man-made.

Do I dare follow where the river goes?

A portent along the asphalt tributary as I near the Cumberland…

Touché street sign. Touché. But alas, you’re not being completely honest. This may be the last left before I get to the river but it’s all Left from there.

“You don’t even know where this place is”, my Inner Gay chided. “Turn around. The 5-Spot is where it’s always been. It’s you that’s lost – with your prejudices and misconceptions of people just because they don’t vote like you. Or dress like you. Or bathe as regularly.”

“Shut up, stupid Gay Inner Voice”, I explained. “I think we’re here.”

“Oh really? What makes you say that, Mr. Sensitive-Sweater-Combo?”

Let’s just call it a hunch.

….to be continued.

DON’T MISS PART TWO!

    A Conservative Inflitrates A Gathering of Progressives To Watch The SOTU

    Pretty funny: I find a spot at the bar and survey the selection. Belhaven Scottish, Abita Amber, Abita Turbodog, Clausthaler Amber, Flying Dog, Genesee Cream Ale, Harpoon IPA, Harpoon UFO, Sierra Nevada PaleÂ…my, my, my. It seems the liberals are…
