Tell me what's up.
For folks who were just tuning in on Ustream,
we just started talking about Sam Harris,
the big fat Islamophobe.
What is that, man?
Is that because they're brown?
Is that because people are trying to be super progressive?
Is that because they're brown?
Whoops.
It's a very dangerous irony and double standard.
It's one of the most disturbing phenomenon, I think,
just to be found on the landscape now.
For folks tuning in on Ustream, just to keep you up to date,
we were talking about how you can make fun of Christianity
with no problems whatsoever.
Make fun of Mormonism, nobody cares.
But if you make fun of Islam, progressive people will call you Islamophobic.
Yeah, it's a combination of very understandable fears of racism and xenophobia.
So we're obviously trailing a legacy that we should be mortified by,
a legacy of slavery and colonialism.
