It’s My Blog And I Can Do What I Want To: Genes Are Color Blind

September 4, 2015|Richard Nikoley||

OK, I’m working on the Green Pastures FCLO post, but I find it difficult to not keep watching this.

Take note that as we improve the paleo narrative around these parts to expunge the just-so convenience in all respects, that you will constantly encounter the appeal to genes.

Well, explain to me how this white KC girl—Samantha Fish—somehow got the genes of a black diva and male blues guitarist all in one, when so far as I know, she’s not even a Stevie Ray Vaughan love child—himself a bit out of his genetic profile, and Eric Clapton too.

Genes are basically bullshit unless super serious and you know that early, like infants getting cancer. Move on. Create your own self and soul. Or, consciousness and human drive trumps genes.

Forget the fuck about genes.

    I first heard about Samantha Fish from a video by Sadie Johnson. Samantha was one of the people Sadie looked up to. Here are two videos of Killing Floor.
    One of the things I really love about Sadie is that she is the biggest fan of her band members in the room.

      Thanks for the further lesson in genetic anomalies, man.

      Both vids smoke.

    Yeah, bullshit.
    Intangibles like morality have nothing to do genetics. It’s just one big con.
    Szasz showed a long time ago that we can’t just reduce behavior to chemistry.

    I cannot believe that these women have the gall to engage in twofold cultural appropriation, black, and male.
    They had better get out their washboards and start playing some non-oppressive music right quick, or Bernie Sanders will be coming with the cattle prod.
