Bisping Be Speaking the F-A-word

There's one way I'm like Orson Welles. Welles loved racism and colorful language. He insisted, quite logically, that not all people are the same. Ever notice that most Chinese are short? Not all, but most. Ever notice that most of the terrorism attacks are from Muslims?

In "My Lunches with Orson," there's plenty of rude Q&A, including a lively discussion of how awful Irish-Americans are. Spencer Tracy in particular. It was all good, bracing fun. It's no different from two blacks calling each other Nigga, or Sinatra and Dino shouting "Wop" at each other.

If used correctly, an un-PC word gives you a very vivid and potent description of someone else. It's only when used incorrectly, that there should be or could be trouble. A rapper is proud of being a Nigga and he'll call himself one. The President of the United States is not, and if you call him one, you're a racist. Or, at the very least, being an insulting provocateur.

The lawyer who gets you off when you're guilty is a fine Jewish lawyer. If he doesn't get you off, and adds thousands of dollars in billing hours, he's a kike.

Something like that.

Above, is a moment AFTER the press conference. Some cameras were still running. Michael Bisping, who had used quite a few standard rude words muttered one more...oooh, the WRONG one.

First, congrats to him for bringing a championship proudly back to England. Most of the UFC champs are either American or Brazilian.

On Saturday night, he knocked out Rockhold (sounds like a music stealing forum!) in the first round to win the Middleweight UFC championship. The excited new champ brought his wife and children in the ring, and told the crowd he hoped, in his enthusiasm, he wasn't going to say something arrogant or unsporting and sound like an "asshole." People laughed.

At the press conference afterward, he praised Rockhold. Rockhold sulked and called Bisping a prick. Bisping responded with some fucking good expletives (why censor these on the Internet, by the way, where the worst porn is easily viewable). He then said, "You're doing yourself no favors," and appealed to the writers in the room to note who started with the nasty words.

Bisping again tried to compliment his vanquished opponent, and offered a re-match down the road. But Rockhold was still sullen and nasty, and as everyone was filing out, he apparently got in a few last dirty words while Bisping's back was turned. Then he disappeared.

Some cameras were still rolling as Bisping muttered, "Faggot." Followed quickly by, "Shit! I shouldn't have said that!"

So what was the big headline? Was it Bisping wins? No it was "Bisping Uses Anti-Gay Slur!"

Oh, FUCK yourselves in the ass, faggots.

He wasn't Tyson Fury, or Manny Pacquiao, declaring homosexuality an abomination. He was saying a straight guy named Rockhold was being a pussy. A coward. A faggot.

Faggot is a very good word, isn't it? It denotes a bitch who uses his effeminacy, his parody of women, to say snide things, be loud and annoying, or back-bite and then run. But in this age, we're supposed to be tolerant of effeminacy. WHY?

It's like tolerating idiotic stereotypical ethnic behavior. Assimilation is what we strive for. Be Italian, but don't be fucking Chico Marx about it. Be Jewish, but don't be a sniveling little Eddie Cantor. Be black, but not Stepin Fetchit.

And...if you WANT to be ridiculous, make it pay and get respect. Be Jackie Mason with the accent. Be Kanye West with the nigga shit. And if you're "here and you're queer," then you like being called a fag, as heard in "The Boys in the Band." Did Quentin Crisp revel in his effeminate identity, and find some masochistic joy in it? How about Truman Capote, who surely didn't talk that way when he was a kid?

Oddly, in this "anything goes" 21st Century, people can't "fat shame" a blobulent hog by even saying, "you're OBESE." You can't even call an inbred hillbilly "inbred" and not be censored on a newspaper website.

Bisping's a guy who beats up straight men his own size in the ring, and would not deny an autograph to some homo, even one who lisps "I admires your physique." Yet, an off-handed remark NOT part of the sit-down trash talk or post-fight interviews (as you see in the photo) gets him headlines. This, even when his very next line was "I shouldn't have said that," because some reporters were still pointing camcorders at him.

Meanwhile, gays, blacks, women, Muslims...you name 'em...when they get into positions of power, they hire their own way too often. Rather than being grateful that Mr. Wasp gave 'em a break, they use it to play power games. They are also just as rigid as the people they complain about. They'll turn around and use censorship and exclusion. Know why? Because they are as ridiculously human as everyone else, after all.

PS, is your calendar modern? Today is not just June 6th. It says on MY calendar, "RAMADAN BEGINS."
