Asian Pick-Up Artist Teaches Ivy League Asians How to Seduce Blondes

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing…Is this really important?

Well, the obvious answer is, no it’s not. Not really.

Image via Wikipedia. What happened to my shoes!

But it is dorky and interesting in a racially-conscious dorky kind of way. Right?

Maybe?

At any rate, whilst shambling through the internet nether realm of mildly interesting mind-rot (no offense Asian pick-up expert), I stumbled over (or upon, depending on your perspective and angle of said perspective) this article about an extremely confident Asian man by the name of J.T. Tran, who, after studying under the studly and mysterious Mystery, is now a master-seducer of non-Asian American blondes.

Good for him! Woohoo!

But, as facetious as I wanna be (to paraphrase 2 Live Crew), J.T. does have his act together.

He has a great website, complete with self-parody, free downloads that don’t download, funny pics, and he’s getting mondo publicity that this site ain’t garnering.

So kudos to J.T. and his secrets to interracial dating success.

 

 

 

Here’s a link to a recent piece about the Asian master of the pick-up, followed by a link to his personal web experience:

Black Women Seek Independent Presence from “Freedom” Plaza

According to a sad piece by author Valencia Mohammed of Afro.com, homeless African-American women at the Occupy DC encampments are receiving no more respect or better treatment than they do elsewhere. You’d hope (if not expect) that at least there could be some end to racism amongst those struggling to survive.

But, this is what keeps us separated as a whole, and delights the NWO power-elite, and keeps things as they are with true “change” being nothing little than cosmetic decade after decade.

Here’s a link to her piece, which is the only one I’ve come across detailing segregation and racism in one of the Occupy groups:

Black Women Outpace Black Men in Military Recruitment

Image via Wikipedia. I'm only adding this picture because I couldn't find any of black women soldiers on the WordPress photo finder widget. Really.

This is a kind of interesting piece from the great New York Times on how black women are outpacing black men (and just about every other group) in military recruitment and enlistment; because they want to go to college and they recognize early on that enlisting will help stagger (if not cover) college tuition, provide training, and job experience that they may not otherwise get in a Depression-era economy rife with institutionalized racism and little prospects of improving any time soon.

Given those obvious circumstances, it doesn’t really answer why there shouldn’t be more black men enlisting, since the odds are more stacked against them finding decent jobs or finishing college than even black women….unless you take into consideration that fewer black men go on to college as black women (which is not my humble widdle opinion but fact) so the selling point of help with college tuition is not as great a factor.

Can’t blame ‘em for thinking ahead.

Black Women’s Roundtable National Empowerment Tour Makes Final Stop in Georgia Before National Summit in D.C.

Image via Wikipedia. Don't know who this lovely sister is, but you have to admire that wig.

We’re just providing a little bit of (perhaps outdated) news here, to let readers know some of the positive and encouraging things many beautiful and intelligent black women are out there doing to make our society a better place to live and (try to) prosper.

This is a nice article from the reporters at PR Newswire, about black womens’ dedication to civic participation and where this one particular group is heading both in terms of their efforts and geographically in terms of where they’re visiting:

Tense Confrontation on Interracial Dating

On a clip from Jerry Springer…..um, I’m sorry, Dr. Drew Pinsky‘s new television program, “Life Changers,” an attractive (apparently middle-aged) African American woman apologizes to an African American man who admits to hating black womenand refusing to date them (http://www.lctv.com/2011/10/27/too-many-african-american-single-moms/).

Image via Wikipedia. Well hello there. Don't know who this young Nubian Queen is, but we needed a photo in here somewhere.

The woman gets us out of her chair, tells him that she and other black women want him and others like him and that she apologizes for (apparently) dating outside her race.

He, the man, states that she is “sexy,” and that her apology really isn’t good enough because he doesn’t like her “attitude.”

She offers to hug him in yet another apology.

He hugs her and pats her on her booty. Then the woman turns to the audience and says that she’s just about had enough.

Am I getting this wrong? Who is the fool in this mix? The black man for refusing to acknowledge black women and buying into the programming of institutionalized racism, or the black woman for seeing interracial dating as “verboten” and inherently wrong?

Is Tiger Woods wrong for (apparently) turning his back on black women (at least from what I can tell by his list of mistresses and not seeing a single drop of chocolate there) to any greater extent than black women who scoff at the idea of dating a man (or woman) of another ethnicity or background?

Now, yes, it does appear that Dr. Drew isn’t generating enough income from “Celebrity Rehab,” (as much fun as it is to watch and I’m sure host at his rehab facility), and “Love Line,” and various other media appearances and consulting opportunities; and is going more toward the Dr. Phil/Sally Jessy Raphael/Maury Povich direction with this.

Image via Wikipedia. Dr. Drew Pinsky. Seems like an okay guy, but with some serious bags under those eyes.

But at least he’s talking about the point and trying to get others to talk about the point (at least on some level) of the societal influences of institutionalized racism on dating habits and mores, and certainly dating double-standards.
