Baracist Obama

First of all, just to make this idiot-proof to people who think I run around screaming the N-word:

I’m not saying I agree with the guy in this Dustinland. I’m making fun of him. I’m saying it’s ironic when racist people complain about racism.

Now, I didn’t want to post this comic. I drew it last weekend right after this whole situation first happened. I heard on the news: a black professor was arrested because he got angry when a white cop hassled him about entering his own home. A reporter asked Obama. He said, “sounds like the cop acted stupidly.” Of course it became a big deal. And I KNEW IT. I KNEW what these assholes would say. The whole reverse racism thing. It’s so predictable, it’s pathetic. So, after drinking a few beers, while on vacation, I sat by a lake and drew this comic. But then I figured, hey, this whole thing will just blow over. No need to ever post it.

But nooooooooo. Of course it has to keep going and going, with assholes like Glenn Beck going on FOX and not even beating around the bush — just calling Obama a straight up racist.

You know, if you don’t like black people, just say it. I would respect you more. Join the fucking KKK. At least be honest about it. Then we can have a real discussion. But what I really can’t stand are racists who hide behind this thin coat of bullshit. These are the same people who complain: “How come black people can say the word ‘nigger’ but white people can’t?” Why, do you want to say it that badly? Yes, yes you do, and everyone knows it.

Holy shit, how can this situation be an issue? I’m white and if a cop started giving me shit about getting into my own house, I’d get pissed. If I was black I’d be double pissed. It doesn’t matter if the cop’s intentions were racist or not. What matters is that from the point of view of a black person, it’s “Oh, because I’m black I can’t live in a nice house, I must be trying to break in.” Maybe the guy overreacted. Hell, maybe he’s a total asshole. Either way, the dude had a reason to be angry, and most definitely did not deserve to be arrested — that is for sure. So Obama hears about it and says it sounds like the cop acted stupidly. “OH NO! WHAT A RACIST! If it was a black cop who arrested a white cop, he’d never call him stupid!” Man, you can just feel it — these people love this shit. They are so angry, they have so much hatred, they just wait for instances like this to pop up so they can rant and rave and focus all that pent up misery in one place.

Man, I am sick of it. It’s just boring at this point more than anything. Boring and predictable, and I wish I didn’t feel like I had to put this comic up but sadly I still do.

Rejected Nose Spray Ads

Regarding this Dustinland, I have to say, overall I’m not really a huge fan of nasal sprays, although I did once use this one with the ridiculous name of Nasaltron or something really clsoe to that, and it really did work wonders on my nose. I always imagined the nasal spray was really a Transformer but using it was definintely not that exciting. Although I would rather use a nasal spray continuously for three hours rather than sit through the new Transformers movie.

The Art of Fighting

Don’t get this week’s Dustinland wrong: I don’t really fight with my wife much but of course there are a lot of little things we rag on each other about. And it’s all fun and good when that happens, even if once in a while it gets a little serious. The problem lies when little arguments are constantly springing up in place of bigger ones. You see it in unhappy couples. Lots of little bickering about nothing, that comes out because they’re both trying to hide the real issues that are making them unhappy. Sometimes I think everyone can see it except for the people doing it. But that’s life — it’s so easy to see when other people are making mistakes, but so hard to notice it in yourself.

The Worst Day Ever aka Non-stop Hiccups

Okay, so this Dustinland was written yesterday. I don’t want to ruin the surprise for you, but I did make it go away, shortly after finishing up that comic actually. And yes, hiccups are not conducive for drawing. The first time I tried drawing the frames, one of the panels was bordered by a wavy line. Well, I’m curious to see if anyone has any interested cures before I publish the one that worked for me, so I’ll stop writing now, except to reiterate that it really is not fun to have prolongued hiccups.

The Next Generation

Man, this week’s Dustinland is based on a true story and it sure does make me feel old. I mean, I’m a Gen Xer, and I laugh about how being little and playing Oregon Trail and using BASIC on those stupid green screen computers and doing this whole thing:

10 PRINT “DUSTIN”

20 GO TO 10

30 RUN

In case you don’t remember, that would make an old school computer print DUSTIN in a continuous loop. Yup, that’s about as far as I got in terms of programming. You can probably tell that just from looking at my site but anyway, if you think that makes me look stupid, just wait until 10 years from now when little kids start laughing at you for having CDs. Hell, I just read an article from the BBC where they gave some 13 year old kid a walkman and he reported on how crappy and archaic it was. Well, call me a stegosaurus but I’ll tell you one thing: when my walkman broke, I could buy a new one for about $50 max. These freakin Ipods break after a year and cost $200 minimum. Not to mention Iphones. I know people who have the “old” Iphones and have already been suckered into dropping a few hundered bucks on the new one just so they can cut and paste. Whoopdeeshit!

Alright, Andy Rooney hour is over. At the end of the day, most new technology is pretty awesome so I won’t be bitter because I’m too cheap to spring for it.

The end.
