Mel Gibson, to the mother of his (latest) child, "You're an embarrassment to me... You look like a fucking pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of niggers, it will be your fault."There has been a lot written about Gibson already but for me it comes down to this: You are either the sort of man who says something like this, or you aren't. Mel Gibson is.
Two things scare me about this:
ReplyDelete1.) Mel Gibson's conflation of Black men with violence, animalistic sexuality, gang rape, humiliation and ruin.
2.) The fact that a whooooole lot of fokes think this (and have quietly cosigned) but don't dare SAY it.
What's the saying? Scratch an anti-Semite, find a racist? Something like that.
off-topic, but -- i love this blog, down to the fact that it exists. being an arab-american is wicked lonely sometimes, & i am trying to keep this from sounding sappy and woe-is-me but keep up the good work (!) so i won't have to go all teary-eyed.
ReplyDelete& i think the only thing worse than mel gibson's behavior, at the moment, are the internet comments defending him. never, EVER read tabloid comments, because you'll spend the next ten days measuring your goddamn blood pressure.
I listened to the tapes the other day. Absolutely disgusting. People really need to stop supporting his movies.
