“The Negro is indolent and a dreamer, spending his meager wage on frivolity and drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving.”
ernesto “che” guevara
(From the Motorcycle Diaries)
The above quote is from one of two great pieces on che at the Palm Beach Post by Liz Balmaseda today:
Who was che guevara?
More than a mortal, more than a revolutionary, Che Guevara is pure mystique, a pop-culture phenom born of a cool graphic image.
Che, the brand, has been unparalleled in its reach across cultures and purposes, from the militant to the materialistic to the rampantly mundane, emblazoned on every imaginable surface: T-shirts, posters, belt buckles, lighters, lip gloss, curtains, shot glasses, skateboards, action figures, nesting dolls, tattoos, maracas, bikinis.
He’s Hello Kitty – with a body count.
And also “The reach of che guevara” where Balmaseda notes just a few cases of celebrity useful idiocy, including this whopper, considering the quote above:
A soon-to-be-released album by Kanye West protégé Rhymefest is titled ‘El Che.’ The rapper, whose birth name is Che, in honor of Guevara, has described the album’s messages as this: ‘Come on the journey with a revolutionary.’
“A soon-to-be-released album by Kanye West protégé Rhymefest is titled ‘El Che.’ The rapper, whose birth name is Che, in honor of Guevara, has described the album’s messages as this: ‘Come on the journey with a revolutionary.'”
I see then that Mr. West, by using the image of a notorious murderer, is really trumpeting the violence often boasted about in gangster-rap lyrics.
Nice.
What can I say “Dumb Negro”. Haven’t they always fallen into the lefty trap anyway. For example, Obama wants African American daddies to man up, yet he’s also wants to increase gov’t subsidies like welfare and WIC, etc etc. I guess he wants them to man up, but please don’t leave the Gov’t teet. Pathetic!
The African-American men (as a group) are a disaster and it will take a few more generations for them to get it together..in this case Che was right! Obama wants change…he should start in his own your back yard!
Hello Kitty with a body count…I like it! I think I’ll start using this one from know on…
Last night BBC Radio 2 ran an hour long documentary about Che’s greatness. It’s still available to listen to – a link can be found at the review I left in the comments at the Biased BBC blog.
I’m not surprised about the BBC. England is more of a communist country than Cuba is. Because to the lazy ass English communism means the government wiping their bums and prechewing thier food for them. They are the laziest, sorriest people on earth.
The ironic thing is, they love che like he’s some great messiah. But there’s not an englisman alive that could have with stood a moment under the harsh disciplinarian che. He was a man who believed in working 6 days a week and volunteering on Sundays. You couldn’t get an English man to work two days in a row let alone 7.

That’s because it takes an Argentinian a week to do what an Englishman does in a day.
Nice, DB.
This blood soaked Hello Kitty has done more for capitalists than for anyone who actually heeded his bum-steer commie advice. Is there an “El Chancho” beer yet?
