"Make It Like Me"

This is the perfect answer to all the white-fragility whining over the Black Ariel in Disney's live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid."

Miles Vorkosigan (in a comment on Adam-Troy Castro's Facebook page--scroll down almost to the bottom)

Cue "Under the Sea"....

The Jealousy's always greener

When you've always had your way

The casting for Little Mermaid

Has people in disarray

For Disney's had the audacity

To do something we insist

Defies the innate caucasity

Of creatures who don't exist!

Looking like ME!

Looking like ME!

That's how the white folks and the alt-right folks

Say it should be!

All mermaids must be white as snow

As our made-up evidence gonna show!

It's not what her race is

Just that her place is looking like ME!

Her tail is still green and scaly

She still has the same hard choice

But making her Halle Bailey

Is taking away MY voice!

Now every proud Paul and Peter

Don't like her inclusive hue

We gonna boycott the theater

And hold our breath till we're blue!

Cater to ME!

She must look like ME!

Because if you don't, then maybe I won't

Buy your DVD!

It's all your fault I got the notion

To go ethnic-cleansing the ocean!

Don't you be carryin' any non-Aryan diversity!

(Diversity!)

Make her like me

(Monochromy)

We want adhesion to simple reason

Naturally! (Naturally!)

And to really make us bitch

You'll have a drag queen playing the witch!

Don't mock my frail face! Give her a pale face, ASAP!

The Aryan Guard

Is taking it hard

The new KKK

Is crying away

The white-by-default

are planning assault

On Twitter, they're bitter and pale!

The Bijou Beckys

Are pain-in-the neckies

The Cinema Sallies

Holding hate rallies

The film-critic Flynns

Are flipping their fins

And, oh, those Incels WAIL!

So make 'em like ME! (Make 'em like me)

Always like ME (Nothing but me)

If Idris Elba plays William Tell, be wary of me

If your shows pass the Bechdel test

I'll be fomenting civil unrest

Don't call me racist! You're a disgrace, it's all about ME!

Whites are so groovy! Make every movie all about ME!

I'll feel excluded if it's not duded

I'm in a rage unless it's Caucasian

It can't be better-o, unless it's hetero

MAKE IT LIKE ME!

Bathroom Peccadillos, Part II

For the curious, this is what happened to the racist message I found in the Porta-Pottie, as detailed in my previous post.

This morning I went walking on that same route. I went very early, as I intended to look in the pottie and didn't want to be disturbed (or run into the jerkwad who wrote the original message). In this case, "early" means 5:30 in the morning, and even so there were a few workers driving into the subdivision, although there was no one on the cul-de-sac where I was headed.

When I pulled open the door of the pottie, a most welcome sight greeted my eyes.

Nothing.

No swastikas, no White Pride, no semi-illiterate profane race-baiting messages. Just normal blue walls, with no inflammatory writing, just as God intended.

Obviously someone had to scrub off the Sharpie-penned writing. Their shoulder muscles most likely got a workout, as they also had to get rid of the additional message I added to the fray.

YOU are an IDIOT.
Privileged racist sexist pig.
What would you think if someone called your mother or your sister such names?

And down below, next to the "you ain't white" canard:

So? Unless you're albino, neither are you.

I don't want to hear any "defacing property" nonsense. Technically, I suppose that's what the both of us did. However, if the original jerkwad hadn't spewed his racist filth to begin with, there would have been nothing for me to respond to, and thus no "defacing" to be done.

In any event, it's all gone now. All hail the Squeaky Wheel.
