Milo: When I used to kid that I only became gay to torment my mother, I wasn’t entirely joking. Of course, I was never wholly at home in the gay lifestyle — Who is? Who could be? — and only leaned heavily into it in public because it drove liberals crazy to see a handsome, charismatic, intelligent gay man riotously celebrating conservative principles. That’s not to say I didn’t throw myself enthusiastically into degeneracy of all kinds in my private life. I suppose I felt that’s all I deserved. I’d love to say it was all an act, and I’ve been straight this whole time, but even I don’t have that kind of commitment to performance art. Talk about method acting.…
[T]he more love and the less lust in us, the more we cease to obscure Christ and instead reveal Him, in whose image we are made. I don’t mean to suggest it’s been easy, just simple: Our Lord endured worse than any of us and promised us that we have to take up a heavy cross each day.... Secular attempts at recovery from sin are either temporary or completely ineffective. Salvation can only be achieved through devotion to Christ and the works of the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. St. Joseph is the spiritual father figure of the Holy Family. In this time of gender madness, devoting myself to the male protector of the infant Jesus is an act of faith in God’s Holy Patriarch, and a rejection of the Terror of transsexuals. Trannies are demonic: They are the Galli, the castrated priests of Cybele, the Magna mater, whom Augustine saw dancing in the streets of Carthage dressed like women....
I'll let you vote on this one:Over the next decade, I would like to help rehabilitate what the media calls “conversion therapy.” It does work, albeit not for everybody....

Now, I gotta do something worthwhile.
I gotta throw out the garbage.
Why don’t you quit whining like a fucking baby and learn to make a living, you lazy bastard?
Shouting Thomas: "Gays have always been tolerated." "I have my kinks, too."
I just don't want to know about any of this. ST...take a few days off.
You got your troubles, I got mine, Hercules.
Take a hike.
My new song on NewAge Quackery has gotten 123 downloads today, but the only comment has been someone assuming the black guy didn't understand the title of his own song.
My new music on cancel culture hasn't done nearly as well - and I'm definitely going to include a segment on getting canceled by you guys, until I left the Republican Party, too - after this little episode reminded me of it.
You just don't know when to stop.
This thread really went downhill fast : )

You see? I prove him wrong - I provided evidence with links and everything - but "Fuck you once again, asshole" is all the white man needs to be my equal.
No truth, no honesty, no apologies or admittance of wrongdoing - he attacked me, remember?
Reparations, Y'all.
What a fucking mess you are, Crack.
BTW - while ST is screaming I'm a beggar, etc., I'm not asking for a dime for the music I'm letting you guys hear. I make money on specific tracks, but not always the ones I let Althouse hear and download - this is a crowd of old conservatives into cancel culture for instance - so I wanted you to hear *some* of what I've been doing in that area. You know, being productive - the opposite of ST's "lazy"? My Facebook friends get other shit.
So ST's a liar - again.
Please make a note of it.
Not anyone is the same- not fingerprints, not attitudes, not heads nor hearts.
That’s a blessing.
Shouting Thomas: "don’t give a fuck about your racism ranting, your fucking piece of shit."
2 things: ST...can you not see that Crack is an immortal soul? Like you? Like all of us?
Can we refrain from gutter talk in mixed company? I broke that rule, myself. I hated that I did it and apologized.
Can we live up to our best selves?
I do get paid for the Trump numbers so play them as often and loudly as possible.
All I ask of you is to note they're all different, and I'm doing my best with an old computer when I should have a band and producer.
All that shit ST is talking is his own racial paranoia.
Crack: "so I wanted you to hear *some* of what I've been doing in that area."
Every singer or Rapper must master breathing. Young kids who rap have little problem with it because they have young lungs.
You're 60. I listened to your rap. We all take breathing for granted. Breathing is pretty much all voice coaches teach.
Breathe. Your rap was shallow breathing. Breathe deep. Unleash it.

Can you guys quit assuming you know what's on the other side of your computer screen and just try "Good work, thanks" for a change?
I haven't heard that all day - just lectures based on your assumptions.
What if I told you I now suffer from a severe disability that requires I sleep, and basically function - literally - lying on my stomach on the floor, and have been for the last two years or so?
Is this a good enough Rap production fo you, then?
You guys are unrelenting in your willingness to attack me, lecture me, put me down, patronize me - anything but be gracious - and you wonder why I see you as having a race problem?
It's obvious you don't want me to even have a headache.
All I did, today, was offer you free music - I got attacked as a "beggar".
With friends like these,...
And then I'm told to stop whining - which means take it and shut-up.
Ae you sure you're the party that freed the slaves? Why?
Crack: "I will still be treated as their equals, and not as someone who tells the truth amongst Liars and hypocrites.
THAT'S what's wrong with this country."
Pondering this. Cannot make sense of it. Crack... can you expand on this. Break it down.
First black man is seated in Derek Chauvin jury after saying black lives matter more than others because 'they are marginalized'
And guess how and who is making that marginalization happen? Just look at this thread.
it's a fine example of an attempt at marginalization - and a bunch of other white people just watching is part of it.

It means being honest, telling the truth, and providing evidence for it means NOTHING to y'all. A silly ST is as wrong as a silly Deepak Chopra and they'll both laugh they have more than I do because you don't care they'e liar and hypocrites. THAT'S how the wold "works" now. Oprah's an evil liar - anyone can prove it - she's the richest most beloved and trusted woman in the world.
An honest man who knows what he's talking about is doomed in this Hell.
You guys ain't arguing over whether The Crack Emcee Is catching a break being honest - you're worried about liars and hypocrites Harry and Meghan, of course.
That's the way everything I supposed to work in America, right?
Crack" "just try "Good work, thanks"
No. Are you a child? Do I need to tape your picture on my refrigerator, and say good boy?
Here's the fact. You breathe shallow. There is power in breathing deeply.
BTW, I'm as racist as anyone you will come across. Your racist baloney accusations have no power over me. You've got an immortal soul, and I hear it. You don't need to breathe deeply, unless you want to sing or rap.

About the "pursuit of Happiness" --
As used by Jefferson and the Founders, "happiness" here does NOT mean what we think of in the modern sense of a good feeling or emotional state. The “pursuit of happiness” does not mean the pursuit of money or self-indulgent pleasures, much less being able to pursue vices or evils, including owning slaves.
Rather, the term “happiness” is meant in the classical sense of eudaimonia, meaning to lead a good and virtuous life, from Greek and Roman philosophy and later expanded upon by Christian thinkers like Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, who taught that the happy life is the blessed life found in God, who is Truth and Love.
The pursuit of happiness is grounded in the way of virtue. The right to pursue happiness, then, is the right to seek the good, to seek what is true and right and just.
Clearly, slavery is opposed to "happiness" as understood in the classical sense. Being the opposite of virtue, such slavery (and modern racism) was always destined to poison the nation and lead to widespread misery and destruction, as in the War.

They even admit it, and the rest still demand proof.
White people are insane.
Or rather, white people are determined to drive blacks insane - with their insanity.
Crack: "An honest man who knows what he's talking about is doomed in this Hell."
Thank you for responding to my request.
You get it. It's frustrating, isn't it. We are in this world, but not of it.
I've been here for over 10 years and you guys STILL don't know what it means to just let a black guy BE.
But you're not racists.
What are you, then?
Crack: "They even admit it"
"They" admit nothing.
I admit it. Deal with me.

Dude, you are one of many - and you outnumber me - that's reality in America.
If it's not you, it's one of these cowards watching and not stopping you.
They'e gonna let me do it - so I can possibly get in trouble on top of it.
Or get hurt. Nobody minds if I get hurt, when I was just minding my own business in the first place.
This is America.
There are no victims in America - not with you guys relentlessly attacking niggas.
No way.
Mark, thank you for that necessary refreshment.
Not even letting niggas ON YOUR SIDE feel good.
That's really special.
The last guy read a song title and assumed I was translating German incorrectly - me, who lived on the German border for over two years.
>>
Crack, when you put a foreign word followed by parentheses with a word in another language, it is usually understood to be a translation.
I, who lived and worked IN Germany (not on the border), along with Luxembourg, know that.
Seriously, I didn't come back at you after you said that, because obviously you were just fucking around with words.
As I've said before, you can bitch and moan about how life isn't fair and you deserve reparations, or you can, as my just as black as you grandparents would say, get a job.
Crack: ..."me, who lived on the German border for over two years."
"I served in the Navy under a white guy."
Hmmm... Crack's a playa. Weren't no Navy on the German border.
He's goin' after the women who feels. Send money. Hate the game. Don't hate the playa.
"I take your point, but the identity aspect to homosexuality isn't so much about same-sex desire as it is about a shared social experience as sexual minorities. For example, a straight person can't understand the process of "coming out" or what it means to be a sexual minority. It's these sort of shared experiences that makes being gay a kind of group identity."
Farmer, I knew I should have responded to this earlier, now it will be lost, but maybe you'll see it. Thanks for this comment. While I am socially conservative in most respects, I also have a hard time with the debates over sexual identity because I see how so much of it comes out of a context created by a morally conservative expectation that doesn't provide the underlying kind of community necessary for having those expectations.
Sexual ethics, in a truly Christian sense, is coupled with radical community, that is what the Church was intended to be, a place where people could find participation, involvement, discipline yes, but also thorough trust. In our era, we've kept the same rules, but far too much of the Church since the Medieval era has really just expressed society's obsessions with sex and marriage as the real sources of meaning. Church just becomes another form of social validation, and so much of church life focuses on nuclear family success. On the one hand, church and broader culture says that to be whole you have to be in a dating or marriage relationship, and treats those not in those as outsiders. And both dating and marriage are defined by physical attraction--as that recent pastor said out loud what far too many church folk really believe.
Then, it says to a certain group of people their sexual attraction isn't allowed, and thus they have no hope of having that kind of full acceptance. It's absurd and makes what you say all the more true. Finding that place of acceptance, the community, is profoundly meaningful. Even as so many gay friends I've known have had a real conflict with the hedonism and activism, the draw of the community almost always is more deeply needed.
It's a failure of the conservative social ethic, to not include the whole teaching that includes social structures that fill in the psychological and social needs everyone has. When a kind of deep and rich community is in place, sexuality often takes a much lower priority. It's a way of bonding and finding meaning (and neurochemical bursts) but not the only or best way.
Finding identity in sexuality comes from both directions, the "you do..." long has been the "you are..." first to label folks who are minorities in different ways and then embraced by those who, rightly, want to feel whole in the presence of others.
All this to say, the whole issue was really reflecting the broken anthropology and community in our society (that was also expressed in racism and sexism) and then the conservative side wonders why there is a backlash against the dysfunction. Do the right thing from the beginning, do the right thing even now--offer a really holistic community--and things are transformed.
“What are you, then?“
I’m human.
Flawed.
Sorry you’re on the floor.
Thank u for the free rap.

https://notthebee.com/article/watch-this-woke-gay-pastor-say-jesus-used-a-racial-slur-in-the-bible-and-then-repented-of-his-racism
And this: I haven’t listened, but I think it might fit here.
I guess he doesn’t care for Christ, either.
I don't pretend to understand what is going on here with this back and forth between Crack and his concept of "white people," ST in particular. ST doesn't try to be helpful but he actually is teaching Crack a major lesson, imo.
Crack claims to be an atheist but then is horribly upset by and dismayed at how "unfair" the world is, and angered especially by how unkind so called believers are (a real God wouldn't allow that injustice), putting himself at their mercy while it seems that they have some greater access to divine support and truth. Of course they don't, but Crack has in advance put up a barrier to receiving any divine grace, he refuses it, yet resents these morons and fools who despite their flaws welcome and receive the help wherever they can get it. A loving God loves without regard to whether someone is a liar, etc. Unfathomable reality by human standards. Unfair indeed. If there is no God then why would someone expect any kind of justice, who would provide it?
I think the biggest mystery for me is how Crack sets himself up for disappointment by continuing to depend on external validation, either by other conservatives or blacks or new agers. That's a major lesson for all humans, that no one is responsible for him or anyone else, never has been, and now as an adult, no one ever will be. No one's path or comfort or success is guaranteed. Of course if you want the "system" to work for you, you must play by the system's rules and position yourself within that system. Anyone who thinks that successful artists, etc., don't do that sometimes at great personal cost, is being gaslighted.
At least Crack knows who he is. You may be on the floor but you are not lying. As far as being a minority, honestly, Crack, don't you know that "whites" are different? Whites (including Hispanics) are cold hearted, can pass you on the street and give absolutely nothing but coldness. With Blacks there is always some exchange of soul, even if happens in a millisecond -- at least that's what I notice. No one can change that, politicians can patronize the Black community, but people are who they are.
I watched an Amazon Prime special about Whitney Houston, "Can I Be Me." She was one of the most successful artists on the planet, loved by Whites, and I was horrified by how her success destroyed her because she became a commodity in order to gain that success and never did figure out who she was or how to be herself. Whitney wasn't Black enough for the Black community and her religious mother never accepted Whitney was lesbian. All the money in the world and the adulation by Whites didn't fix anything. In fact it made her life unbearable.
I think Milo at one point alluded to taking enough b/Black cock to prove his gay-hood.
So...
Crack says he was in the Navy, and that he once lived with a girlfriend in France--which would easily explain his remark about living near Germany in the past.
These anecdotes make me realize what an easy life--after some early blows and WAY too much entanglement with women's emotions--I've had. I haven't had an actual physical-contact confrontation (other than some fraternal bellowing and stamping) since . . . maybe end of ninth grade?
And as it turned out my Gaydar was pretty good--not perfect, alas, but when you're as good looking as I was (just like ma!) before I chubbed up (just like ma!) you learn to recognize the signs.

I hadn’t realized until this conversation that Crack is near psychotic, and I don’t mean to say that as an insult in the normal terms of the internet.
I dealt a lot with the walking psychological wounded when I lived in Woodstock, because a lot of them washed up there drawn by the myth of hippiedom. Family backgrounds (or the lack of one) similar to Crack’s were common.
The near psychotic or walking wounded tend to keep replicating the nightmare scenario in which they were reared. And, they seem to believe that everybody was reared in similarly insane, violent circumstances.
You can’t talk such people out of their constantly repeating nightmare. Everything they do leads them right back to it. This isn’t really a racial issue (or not entirely one) as Crack believes. I’ve seen plenty of whites in the same dilemma.
Gosh i dont know maybe because the family is the building bloc to the whole society and its based on simple principles. But weve melted down every foundational institution
Yes christian teaching focuses too much on one type of sin to the exclusion of others that we can agree on.
The 40+ guy with severe psychological issues who refused to give up on stardom in the popular music biz was also a very common figure in Woodstock. Some of these guys even had a hit single when they were kids, which turned out to be a millstone around their necks.
If you haven’t achieved success in the popular music biz by the time you’re 25, it’s time to find something else to do with your life, but I knew plenty of people who refused to accept this, never learned a trade, and consequently lived in miserable poverty, usually alone, the rest of their lives.
This syndrome also leads to a spiral of psychological collapse.
My wife accuses me of being bear-like. Big, hairy, and growley.

What can I say?
Mllo is willing to take enough straight white cock to prove..
@Shouting Thomas:
I have my kinks, too. Yours aren't any more important than mine, and I'm not demanding anything or expecting anything.
Homosexuality isn't just a kind of sex; it's a kind of love. Intimacy between humans isn't confined to the bedroom. It involves sharing a life together, making commitments, accepting obligations, and is acknowledged socially.
Your desire to be accepted is no more important than your parents' desire to see their bloodline extend into another generation.
I said tolerated, not accepted.
Having blood grandchildren completes the spiritual cycle of life for most people. I know, because I have them.
I'm sure having a biter old queen for a grandfather is thrilling for them.

If not for the interest of space, I would have quoted your entire comment. I completely agree with your point-of-view, and I thought it was beautifully rendered. I am close with several devoutly Christian people, and we've engaged very thoughtfully on the topic many times. My social conservatism is grounded in the importance of family and communal values. The most important thing about people is not that they are all sinful but that they are all loved. The blood of Christ covers us all, and His grace is equally available to all.

I REALLY DO HATE YOU ALL RIGHT NOW,
You're a bunch of racists who drive blacks crazy for fun. You've driven me into a deep depression so often,...
