Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
We may have reached peak woke recently when some doctor got in a Twitter huff because a peasant of pallor did not detect the MD lurking within her, and this is a very good thing. This kind of foolishness will help us sooner consign wokeness to the fiery dumpster of history. The moral bankruptcy of wokeness should lead to its demise, but the abject stupidity of it might just kill it off first.
Now, the tale is as tiresome as you can imagine – apparently a “middle aged white woman” heir to Bull Connor – who was a Democrat – dared to ask the finicky physician if Her Medical Majesty worked at the store they were both shopping in and thereby assumed that Dr. Brittani James was a mere retail worker. I know, right?
No, it could not have been an innocent mistake – Occam’s Razor is racist too, apparently. Instead, this was clearly a hate crime that harkened back to the olden days, when bands of hooded Democrats with torches would ride the countryside, terrorizing black folks by asking them if they could supersize the Klansmen’s happy meals. Move over, Harriet Tubman, Fussy James has a real tale of racial oppression to tell. I bet a movie chronicling her trauma would win Best Picture; acting legend Nick Searcy could appear as the therapist who helps her move past the pain.
It’s so obnoxious. On May 15 – incredibly, on purpose – Doc tweeted: “Minding my own business shopping and a middle-aged white woman asked me if I work there. When I looked at her blankly and answered back in a deadpan voice ‘no’, she giggled it off and said ‘I was just wondering where to put this shirt back’. But I’m a bad person if I go off.”
Well, yeah. You are a bad person for going off. You’re terrible – snotty, snobby, and so full of yourself you should write yourself a scrip for extra-strength Dulcolax® to empty yourself out.
But she wasn’t done. The sour sawbones doubled down with: “Kicking myself for not saying “I’m a physician” and letting her die of embarrassment. But something tells me she wouldn’t even have the decency to be embarrassed. Most of these types don’t.”
First, who are you calling “these types?” Seems kinda racist. And second, somehow I doubt the poor mistaken woman would die of embarrassment, especially considering that she did nothing morally wrong.
Next, the medical malcontent tweeted, “Stop asking Black people why they are angry. I can’t even shop in peace.” But no one’s asking why she was angry because she shouldn’t be angry that some nice lady mistook her for a retail worker – as if that is some sort of slur. Should one be ashamed to work at a store? Better keep those uppity waiters and waitresses in their place! Heaven forbid someone expect respect if he wrangles feces as a mere plumber! Behold – a doctor! On your knees, proles. We’re not worthy!
On a victim scale of 1-10, Dr. James is about a .0006. But this privileged practitioner has got to take what she can get when it comes to systemic racism, I guess. It’s just that she is going to be so bummed and feel so silly when she hears about (Democrat enacted and enforced) Jim Crow.
This petty grievance-mongering is of a kind with the ever-popular “I have an unusual name and you’re racist if you don’t instantly know how to pronounce it” whine. You get some twit, almost inevitably a young, affluent woman whose greatest life challenge to date was getting that gender studies degree at Gumbo State, and here comes her very own atrocity: “It’s so exhausting when people ask me how to pronounce my name, Ranxthalion Hilkobrunitoxhitol. It’s just more of the burden I endure every day being descended from the people from wherever the people I am descended from came from!”
Now, as the proud possessor of a weird name that almost no one knows how to pronounce, by now I should have accumulated a huge pile of grievance chits. You got Slick-ter, Sleesh-ter, Psylche-ter, plus others that incorporate the obvious vulgarity. Even the damn Germans couldn’t pronounce it consistently when I was stationed in Stuttgart. And you know what I do when someone slaughters “Schlichter?” I smile and ignore it, because I’m a grown man and not a tiresome child who yearns to be a victim of something, anything, that will make up some emotional deficit inside of me. I have these Townhall columns for that.
Now, as insufferably stupid and entitled as it all is, we should still be intensely grateful for this kind of performative outrage over the most micro of microaggressions for two reasons.
First, all of us should be on our knees thanking God that we live in a country where intramural hate manifests as not detecting one’s medical license or failing to be a linguist fluent in each of the world’s myriad tongues. I served in Kosovo, where people burned their neighbor’ homes and buried the murdered in mass graves, and I think those folks would be thrilled beyond measure to dwell in a place where the greatest challenge to ethnic harmony would be issuing occasional corrections about one’s employment status and name pronunciation. We are blessed to live in a nation that is so generally peaceful that the best these drama queens can do to peg the oppression-o-meter and redline the oppression they so desperately want with this kind of frivolous nonsense.
And there’s another reason to be glad dumb people are howling about puny slights. Wokeness has survived as long as it has via seizing the moral high ground by falsely asserting that the wokies are fighting bigotry. Of course, what wokeness is really about is enshrining bigotry in our society and leveraging it for power. But, while we are conserva-woke to this scam, many normal folks are not. It takes time and repetition to explain that the cynical hucksters calling themselves “anti-racists” are actually the only significant group of active racists left in society. But everyone understands immediately that harumphing all over social media because some nice lady mistook you for a clerk is stupid.
Wokeness is jumping the shark, and it looks ridiculous. And looking ridiculous is the first step to it being rejected.

Kurt Psylche-ter is really one of the most level-headed writers today.
He truly is a pragmatic opinion offered with an objective voice, I think.
Hey, Stephanie.
I, personally, am glad to see you posting a lot and, as I’ve said, I appreciate your point of view because you, like my son, grew up in the echo of the boomers.
I am a “cusper” boomer, born on the edge (1961) and I attended college after a decade in the USAF and ended up in class with mostly Gen X students. Since smart people tend to get one another’s sly comments in class, I hung out with a few of them for quite a few years as I took advantage of the GI Bill for disabled veterans and used the vocational rehab entitlement to go to college a couple days a week and be a stay-home mother. I was blessed to have the advantages I had.
I hope the world recedes from the brink.
I also hope you do, as well.
These types of things tend to show up here at the most vital of moments, when everyone should attend to the topics at hand and not the personality clashes on the horizon or in the past.
If there was ever a time to let bygones be bygones it is now.
And, I guess I’m speaking to Israel and Hamas.
Build a bridge and get over it.
I couldn’t find the image I wanted… thought this was almost appropriate.
Am looking forward to discussing/debating how tired we all are of the Woke crap. I bet Coke is sick of Woke, too.
Thanks. I’m not the one starting the personality clashes. I just want to be able to post and comment in peace. But as long as that is not going to happen I will match provocation with provocation.
When you trashed Stucky, was that done peacefully?
All I did was treat him EXACTLY how he treats me.
He spammed you with gay porn memes?
Fuck off Mygirl. Stop stalking me, you creep.
You aren’t worth stalking…
Seriously, your obsession with me is fucking creepy. This is reaching bunny boiler level and you need to BACK THE FUCK OFF.
You’re the only creepy one here.
Nope. He gave up on Trump and election fraud. Too much hot air.
There was a ton of electoral fraud, but Trump didn’t have the skills to suppress it – just like his whole term was appointing people opposed to his agenda and then being shocked that they worked against it. The only possible way to shear off a layer or two of the rot would be to run pretending you’ll defer to the professional bureaucrats and then immediately fire everyone you can – the heads of all agencies and all DOJ lawyers – the minute you get in. Like a democrat would. And even that would have minimal effect.
Explain to us how Trump could have suppressed vote fraud when every court refused to even rule on a vote fraud case….
Stopping it on the front end would have been more difficult. We all knew that Philly, Detroit & Milwaukee were going to be stolen. I don’t think many expected Phoenix, Atlanta and Vegas to be part of the plot.
Patrick Byrne, Gen Flynn & Sidney Powell told him to use US Marshals in these 6 cities for a hand recount & electronic audit of the Dominion machines with all of it live-streamed. His advisors talked him out of doing it.
The Steve above isn’t this Steve.
Why was my name thrown into this soup?
Not my post above.
Definition of ‘Woke’ – Asleep
More like brain-dead.
Give that man a cigar!
A broke joke.
Notice its Doctor not MD.
Once had the displeasure of coming across an RN with a PhD in nursing who insisted on being called Doctor.
I believe you, but she won’t get away with that in any hospital I know of….
Freeport, Illinois. Now you know of one.
Did you call her Dr. Nurse?
Once met a former PhD superintendent who was running a Central American resort who told us the PhD stood for Pile it Higher and Deeper. Having been lectured by many of them in college, I thought that was the most appropriate phrase for describing their sheepskin.
My Eastern European name is seldom pronounced correctly, the advantages of that is that I seldom receive others mail. My feelings don’t rise to that level of hurt, my level of hurt is rising because of the color of my skin due to my lack of melanin by a certain political party.
One time I wore tan pants and a red shirt in a Target. Everyone kept asking where things were. “Over by automotive” was my answer to everything. Fucking racists.
Aaahhh…..so you are really Jake, with State Farm?
That was funny.
And Jake is NOW a brotha….. go figure…or is it molato….
Ha ha….Iska, love your sense of humour. What’s great gift humour is.
I wore orange skivvy shirt. It put a knot in deputies panties when I took off work shirt in hot July sun while working on swamp coolers atop jail roof. My bad.
My family’s original name was MacUaithnin.
Far too many blacks are very concerned about status and image.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen some low wage earners hop into a BMW.
Peacocks….if you doubt this, watch Housewives of Atlanta or Married to Medicine. OMG….
(Wifey watches that crap and I’ve suffered through it several times).
Cars are the status symbols of black people. They may live in a shack, but they will wear flashy clothes and drive a fine automobile.
and have gold teefs…
We called them pimpmobiles back in the day….
Like the one from Magnum Force?

I remember seeing a “Welfare Cadillac” front license plate more than once in South Florida. Anyone here know what “Spreewells”are? Gotta hand it to the negroes, they never disappoint!
Had to look up Spreewell. Saw many of them in Memprica. The old saying was “Brotha gots $4,000 worf of tires & rims on dat $700 caddy”
I was told many blacks are “nigger rich” driving a new Cadillac while working as a janitor. one of the racist things I’ve heard over the years.
Not really. I’d say they’ve already won and are now consolidating unquestioned power. Very painful to acknowledge.

Not sure why anyone would be offended but Wow….that is so cool…..a statue with THREE ARMS!
Yeaaah baby. I only noticed the third arm later. Chicks w/ dicks are da bomb!
That is so he/she/it can hold on to your waist while still giving you a reach around.
please tell me that is fake news too!
Couldn’t we all use a third hand sometimes?
It just gives you another thumb to hit with the hammer.
No one is mentioning the obvious? Ya’ll be punking me out! ;0
Where is Stucky when you need him?
I think Stephanie hurt his feelings and he is still pouting
Could be another form of Baphomet?
Sort of a human Swiss Army Knife or Leatherman tool. Many functions in one package.
By definition that is Satanic if any Christians care about that anymore.
I’m betting on it.
If she had told the woman she was a doctor the first thought would have been affirmative action.
Which is worse?
And my last name is Moran, as far as names go Schlitter ain’t got Schlit on me.
Some people go through the world with a chip on their shoulder, other people just grin and bear it. The good doctor is inflicting unwarranted stress on herself by carrying a burden she doesn’t need to bear.
chips on shoulders lead to backs broken with boulders.
and i told you soldiers on the backs of beholders…
We went to Lowe’s to get some lumber and it has increased in price since last Friday. (The ten percent military discount no longer applies to lumber so we are talking to local mills about buying/trading some of our trees. (Not the giant oaks.)
I made attempt at negotiating a treaty and I demand credit for it.
Yeah the price of wood is crazy these days here too! We are finishing up a reno on the cottage, having re-sided the ocean face with new boards and bats. Five years ago it could have been done for around a hundred bucks. This year the cost so far is over five hundred and we’re probably not done. Did a bunch of windows as well, learning much….
And what did I learn?
Well, first off lumber prices are crazy and thru the roof. Even buying directly from the sawmill brings hardly any relief. Having talked to the owner of one mill nearby and he tells me that nobody wants to work anymore. It pays better these days for folks to just stay home and collect a check.
And still, I work and learn.
Crazy times! But what’s a fella to do….. there is no point fretting over the twattery of the woke. All it does is holds a fella back from getting out and doing things. Real things! I’m done with the “we’re all in this together” horseshit that is clogging up the narrative too. Woke be damned for all I care. Dr. James can piss and moan aboot my privilege and I still won’t care…
Gotta say though, whatta waste of an education.
That woman is going to spend her life on chips…
At the start of the year, I made a resolution to lead a moar stoic life. And while I will never attain the sensei status of Scrabble I have found some bumps have gone away. I fret way less about busy bodies like that Doctor…
Let her collect her chips..
I’m going to the beach
and she is not going to spoil the view!
Ask for a job with the miller, Rins
That’d be a terrific learning opportunity.
Might do that!
He might be willing to pay you in lumber.
I started a reno on on about 600 sq ft of deck, then decided to hire someone. What I expected to be about $4k easily bumped up to $8k because of the astronomical lumber cost. I had a really hard time even getting call backs from subcontractors. Finally bumped into a guy loading lumber at Lowes, and asked him if he was building a deck. He’s a two guy outfit and that guy got the business…he called back and said his biz was great because the stimulus payments took out a lot of competition.
When it quits raining in a couple of weeks, we now how the excuse to rehab our deck instead of rebuilding.
What do you do with a 600 sq ft deck? That’s almost the size of a small house.
Am assuming Stucky is kept away by familial obligations or great sadness.
wondering the same… and hoping things are okay for him.
Yes, let us hope familial obligations rather than being run off by a very special little snowflake.
You don’t think very highly of ol Stucky then… Specially thinking anyone would run him off with mere words…
It is like “dog whistle” words. All of the black poverty pimps know them, but white people have no idea what they are.
If you walk around with a chip on your shoulder, don’t be surprised if someone unknowingly knocks it off. That is the real purpose anyway, isn’t it?
I’m only a lowly retired engineer, but if I’m not mistaken, .0006 is not an option on a scale of 1-10.
“peasant of pallor…”
That’s funny!
I’ve been asked a few times if I work at a store when my shirt is the same color as the employees were wearing.
My first jobs were in grocery stores and I just seem to look like I know where I am going.
I usually do… LLPOH claims to have an intuitive grasp of what is factual datum, but I claim an intuitive grasp on what is on Aisle 7 by knowing what is on Aisle 2…
Since I entered the grocery store business early, during very formative work years, I have a good grasp on where the items should be placed in relation to other items.
I will often take old confused ladies right to the items they are looking for, so I suppose I act like I work there too.
My son says I look and act like I care too much and that is why people bother me. He says I should be more of a jerk. Like him.
Well I just gave up and conceded that grocery merchandising is completely random so that I can’t find anything. And then some cashier will have the nerve to ask “did you find everything OK?” No. No I did not, because you keep moving everything.
Can you explain why Kroger likes to “re-arrange” things every year or two? I think it is to get us to go down every aisle so we can impulse shop.
We have a daughter who has one of those “tell me everything” faces and when people come up to her and start discussing their problems, she inevitably gets around to talking about the Grace of God and the salvation of Jesus.
My wife said it has something to do with increasing impulse purchases. And she said it with that “I know what I am talking about voice”. Makes sense.
Go back and watch sitcoms from the 90s. The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Married With Children, Family Guy. Nowadays a single episode from any of those shows would deep-six the series instantly. Political Correctness killed satire. Now the world is full of retards with zero self awareness.
“I have an unusual name and you’re racist if you don’t instantly know how to pronounce it”
I’ll just leave this here.
I still like some of them in a way, but many of those were propaganda that was destructive towards society and culture (actually they all were, but not to the same level). Yeah they could still be funny. I have even seen young people watching Friends because they see it as sort of a golden era, it makes them feel comfy compared to what is around them now.
That era of propaganda is over. Where Friends normalized the ‘dating’ urban lifestyle and Al Bundy showed the world what white trash was, tv shows now normalize the faggotry and racemixing and every white is racist so that the lemmings think that is just how the world is.
I never really watched Friends so I can’t speak to that one. But the ones I listed were all about stereotypes and ridiculing bad behavior. To some extent the viewer was forced to stop and ask, “Is that how I act? Am I really that obnoxious?” It helped keep people self-aware.
Now the world full of snowflakes too fragile to handle constructive criticism. They go through life unaware of how obnoxious they can be.
You think those shows were constructive criticism? Only if you’re trying to ‘construct’ a nation of lowest common denominator consumers and empty-headed followers.
It’s programming. And it worked. Look at the people around you.
I’ve told a few people that they were either very strong or very tired. When asked what I was talking about, I tell them from carrying that big chip on their shoulder.
It is terribly naive to think that people will be tired of it, and one day it will be too ridiculous and no one will push it anymore. No amount of conservatives being reasonable and telling people what is going on will do anything. Because they are only looking at the symptoms, not the disease.
“Wokeness is jumping the shark, and it looks ridiculous. And looking ridiculous is the first step to it being rejected.”
The early history of christianity begs to differ. Think of how ridiculous it looked to the Greeks, the Romans. And I’m sure the various forms of communism looked ridiculous to the people of the time.
“It takes time and repetition to explain that the cynical hucksters calling themselves “anti-racists” are actually the only significant group of active racists left in society.”
Maybe because that is complete bullshit.
Is Sh-lick-ter jewish? Maybe that’s why the Germans couldn’t decide how to pronounce his name.
Not really. It is kinda how the USSR fell. The “elite” got sick of their own lies.
Which was multi-generational. Marx’s theories are still being taught, it just shifted forms over time. The ‘woke’ness being talked about is one of their expressed tactics.
And I used christianity for a reason. It started off as a religion for slaves and the weak, an inversal of values held by the western civilizations of the era. And yet it became the religion of empires. How many years was it from Constantine until the Renaissance? Do people not say to this day things like turn the other cheek, the meek shall inherit the earth, those who love this world can’t get into the next, or whatever?
Looks pretty ridiculous to me.
People don’t just en masse wake up to the lies they are told.
We are still feeling the damage from Calvin which I imagine was very similar to “wokeness”.
Will Kurt ever realize he is just woke-lite?
You know how many black doctors I’ve seen in my lifetime? ONE. In an ER in the late ’70’s. Maybe instead of pulling the race card as a reflex action Dr. Pansy needs to look at her own mental state of being permanently aggrieved.
If I had a nickel for every time in my life someone asked me if I worked in a store where I was merely shopping, well, I wouldn’t have to work any longer. It happens. Deal with it, “Doctor”.
She’s trying to cash in. Black lady doc living in a town founded by and run by Blacks. The bitch’s problem is all the white folks left her town and there’s nobody left to scam and guilt. She might have to actually practice medicine or move to Naperville.
Al Pacino in Devils Advocate. Vanity! My favorite sin!
Her insecurity is to be expected when she knows full well her degrees came from
Watermelon U.
Not a woke song…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmT8jGhkzPY
She’s probably insecure because she knows she got into med school because of affirmative action.
Here is a fucken cookie “hero” twat. You should have just went to Target in your fucken blood spattered scrubs with a giant doctor sign floating over your inflated head.
Did she just assume her career field? Burn the heretic.
A real person with a real intellect would have said “yes. You can go ahead and walk right out the door with it.”
I told you all that most doctors are fucken clueless. Overrated and overpriced mechanics for human bodies. And not even good ones for the most part.
ZFG, out.
P.S. Eat a dick retail doctor.
Here’s the reality of negros in America: https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/henrico-county/source-friend-pushed-killer-away-ran-for-help-before-13-year-old-henrico-girl-was-killed/
