ellauri067.html on line 502: Pynchon´s early story Low-lands contains general immaturity, and racist, sexist and proto-Fascist talk. It´s his own voice in Pig Bodine, a notoriously bigoted and asinine sailor who recurs in later novels. The claims of racism and proto-Fascism are hardly substantiated, while the misogyny is pervasive. Women are considered as semi-inanimate objects upon which men have a right (or even a duty) of possession, imposition or defilation.
ellauri100.html on line 349: For the results of other tests of my moral preferences, go to “My Moral Profile“. BTW, I took my nom de plume from Psalm 14, which is a paean to bigoted hypocrites.
ellauri146.html on line 688: In a review of 1836 Poe referred to the “bigoted lover of abstract Democracy” and appealed to Americans to divert their minds “from that perpetual and unhealthy excitement about the forms and machinery” of government to a greater care of the results of government-“the happiness of a people.”
ellauri219.html on line 805: That’s why when people are outright nasty towards bigoted Americans, they don’t think they’re doing anything wrong. Because as far as they’re concerned, they’re punching back. Serves ’em right, they’re privileged on everybody else's expense.
ellauri458.html on line 121: Dumb kaffirs think “money ain’t nothing but trouble”. Voltaire’s arguments about the biological differences of race, despite him being an abolitionist, is still highly racist and bigoted. Jim ponders the absurdity of knowing he’s equal to any other man, but he needs someone else to make that argument for him, someone who is the right social statue to be able to make the argument. Jim is surprised to find Voltaire’s Treatise on Tolerance and All for the Best and Rousseau’s Discourse on Inequality. When Huck asks whether all men have a right to be free, Jim starts to say that there’s “no such things as rights”, and quickly drops the topic. He is perfectly right. As he reads, Jim is transported elsewhere, not on “one side of that damn river or the other”. Jim accuses John Locke for abandoning what he claimed was moral and right when he wrote the constitution for the Carolinas. John responds that they wanted a constitution to justify their behavior, so he gave them one because otherwise someone else would have. Great excuse. The Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina was adopted on March 1, 1669. The document was authored by John Locke.
xxx/ellauri167.html on line 596: The notion that simply showing police violence was evidence of liberal bias didn’t begin with Chicago. It traces back rather directly to TV coverage of civil rights, when white Southerners complained that the networks ignored their perspective and were manipulated by publicity seekers within the movement. By the late 1950s, many of the same people who would later object to the network’s coverage in Chicago had already taken to calling CBS the “Communist” or “Coon” or “Colored Broadcasting Company.” The same bigoted wordplay made NBC the “Nigger Broadcasting Company.” Alabama’s Bull Connor summed up the situation with an aphorism that wouldn’t seem out of place in some conservative circles today: “The trouble with this country is communism, socialism and journalism.”
