So I have just learned of a website named http://www.suckitjesus.com/ ("stop the censorship!" is their mantra). It has apparently taken off, selling bumper stickers and whatever, and I feel the need to write an immediate response. (The posting time is about five minutes after a friend told me of it.) They claim support for Kathy Griffin after her comments and censorship (see earlier post: "Emmys, and Things That Matter"). Personally, I don't really care if someone thinks it's blasphemous. Being a fan of free speech, I think they ought to be allowed to say it. However, being a TRUE fan of free speech, I also welcome all those who say they ought not say it.
There is one thing I'd like to point out, though. If I started a similar website, only suggested that instead of Jesus sucking it, it ought to be Mohamed sucking it... some fanatic Muslim would likely kill someone over it.

Well you know how it goes. You can only insult those who are less than or equally your minority. White women can insult other white women and white men. They can not insult any other race of women or men. White men clearly are not allowed to insult anyone because that makes them racist or sexist. Women of non-white races have it all when it comes to insulting anyone. Now, since February is Black History month, I think that March should be White History month. Oppression doesn't make your history more interesting! I'd like to take thirty days to learn about my German and British ancestors! What about the serfs. They were oppressed. Does that count?
