...bear fruit in the pages of the National Geographic.*
The June letter below is in response to an earlier NG "ZipUSA" profile of Greenwich, CT. This Gottlieb is one righteously angry non-Aryan, it would seem. One has to wonder how and why this supposed culture of "superwealthy shoppers" has come to be the exemplar of white America in many people's minds. It is sadly true that among some of the wealthy and not-so-wealthy whites in this country, materialistic consumption has been accepted as the pinnacle of their existence- but who creates and promotes that paradigm? Going a step further, what should replace it?
[INDENT]*** ZipUSA: Greenwich, CT
You owe Greenwich an apology. Your photographs portray Greenwich as an Aryan nation of superwealthy shoppers. Your photos were mainly rich white blond women. You took a very small part of the population and made it seem to the world that a majority, if not all, of the citizens are like the people portrayed in your article. We are not all superrich. We do not all drive Bentleys and race yachts. There are many blacks, Hispanics, and Asians living here too. Greenwich is not a whites-only shopping utopia.

The answer comes with the July issue, in the article "Hunting for Glory with the Barabaig of Tanzania". The story begins with the "steely" eyes of a "warrior hunter" glaring out at the reader; these are obviously some noble savages we're about to see. Indeed, Geographic translates the Barabaig word for the hunter subjects as "heroes".

Unfortunately, we find that these "heroes" gain their status by
slaughtering elephants, carving out their tusks, and leaving the corpses
to rot. The "heroes" are slathered with butter, granted "sexual privileges",
and otherwise given the usual royal treatment found in these noble
cultures. Mead and Boas are most likely beaming up from their pits of hell,
viewing the fulfillment of their program in these virtuous warriors.
But wait! What's this quote from an innocent young member of the unsullied tribe, when speaking of the new status of the "heroes"?
[INDENT]"If you are rich", says one boy, "all the girls will love you, and you will be respected."[/INDENT] What the hell is this? Are these Barabaig's some sort of Aryan wannabes? We can only await the inevitable explanation from one Gottlieb or another...*

*Courtesy of MTV, ESPN, and the ADL/public school multiculturalist agenda, we find that the Barabaig heroes are alive and living in the US as...
playas!
Only thanks to the above cultural agents, we find that these "heroes" are served not only by willing concubines but also by their supplicants known as "whiggers". A read-thru to the end reveals some doubts on the part of those whiggers; they'll head to Duke or Vanderbilt, and come back to D.C. to complain about the latest bank robbery, murder or rape headed up by the erstwhile playa heroes who for some reason didn't make that sure million in the NFL. They'll have some doubts, perhaps, about their former associations while mailing in their association fees to pay for the new gates on the neighborhood security fence.
The good corporate souls at MTV and ESPN will have no doubts; their main task might well be deciding whether the revenue generated by all the ADL-approved activities should be counted as profits or used for future growth.
Elephant tusks replaced by pigskin. What an empire we have become.*

Fast and Loose
Once, a while back, every high school had a few -- the bad boys, the sexy, perpetually unhappy James Deans of the 20th century. They were accompanied by motorcycles and Camel cigarettes and a lot of girls saying that, despite the arrest for stealing hubcaps, they were actually sensitive or intelligent. A lot of girls did not say that bad boys were attractive because they were dangerous, exciting, sexy and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to escape the Mom-and-Dad proprieties of teenage life.
Now there are fewer proprieties and more bad boys taking media-glorified rogues as their models: rappers, professional snowboarders, actors or athletes who flaunt their roguery. In high schools, the outsiders are now the insiders: Boys who attract lots of girls, and treat them badly, aren't called bad anymore. They're called players.
Same old game, but less blame and a brand-new name.
"Player" is a label that kids instantly recognize as belonging to someone who prefers sports jerseys to leather jackets, who charms rather than alarms adults and resembles a bad boy in one significant way: attracting all kinds of girls who should know better.
