Listen, dudes..... we know you are livid and seething from inside because you have been out-manuevered in your maniacal, obsessive, overzealous and overreacching quest to "bad-mouth," sabotage, derail these Beijing Olympics Games.
From the media center, the indelible impression harks to my art class teacher who admonished us students about reaching out and taking in the aesthetics and beauty in the arts as most others can't do it, and that is:
"To not just hear but to listen; to see rather than to look; to feel rather than just touch; to take in the tactile sense, and totality of the ambience, the beauty, the nuances" of the setting we call these Beijing Olympics.
American and Euro-reporters covering these Games in Beijing are clearly warped and stunted by a sense of arrogance and haughtiness which spells "BIAS" "HUBRIS" and "WHITE SUPREMACY" in bold capital letters. And they can't see, hear and feel beyond their prejudices and pre-set "white lenses." So be it, a supposedly open society with constructed white bigoted minds.
You can have an Orville Schell, a supposed learned Sinophile turned Sinophobe who is being bandied about as a "China Expert" who pontificated about "bainian guochi" or "100 years of national humiliation" or what is described as a Chinese "inferiority complex."
What a bucket of horse manure. Mi Dian Gong. Schell missed the fundamental point of white racism in the history of imperialism and colonialism, and the messianic pursuit of "the White Man's Burden" in contemporary modern history.
White people will never accept the Chinese people for what they are, human beings with their own civilization, folkways, mores, customs, standards, values which may not be palatable to the West, but nonetheless real and valid.
The problem is the so-called liberal "do-gooders," the CBs (China Bashers), and the CDs (Chinese Demonizers), so suffused with their Europeanised version of human rights, good or bad, right or wrong, who relentlessly attempt to mold, shape, steer, cajole, hector, insult China and the Chinese people along their own white supremacist standards and values.
At these Olympics Games, we can see that the provocation, carping, insults, disrespect, racism, white supremacist piling and bullying have been dished out in buckets aplenty.
And good lordy, they are coming out from these so-called institutions we supposedly call a free press. What free press ? More like a recklessly, irresponsible and white supremacist press.
The New York Times ? publishing all the news that are fit to print ? More like freedom of the press to publish for white people, by white people, and of white people.
Thankfully, we are now living in a new brave world of globalization, where the tools of the internet, information technology, and the panoply of hardware and software is leveling the playing field, especially in news and information arbitrage, with or without the filters of the New York Times, CNN, NBC, CBS, BBC or Fox TV. In days past, the institutional hegemonistic stranglehold of these Anglo-news media behemoth is in the hands of Europeans and white Americans.
Not anymore. There are alternatives. There is Al Jazeera, CCTV, Phoneix, Jade, Zhong Tian, and thank goodness, they are providing the alternative perspectives about events such as these Beijing Olympics Games.
Consider the following while the CBs and CDs in the Anglo-Western news media plot, script, and prepared for their last "Hail Mary" pass to derail and tarnish these Beijing Olympics Games with their "bad-mouthing":
If nothing else, these Games have demonstrated that European and American athletes are no longer as dominant as they once were... in previous Olympics. Unlike previous Olympics, the emergence of other than European and American athletes in the medal stands are much much more pronounced..... with or without the hype over Michael Phelps, their "Great White Hope."
If there is one metaphor in these games about the erosion of the West's domination and lording over the athletic competition, it is the defeat of the American female softball team to Japanese femal softball team.... what a metaphor indeed this was.
Also, consider the disastrous erosion and evaporation of the once-dominant U.S. track teams in the highly-honed track competition.
Look at Jamaica and its sprinters. And compare that with the bungling of America's supposedly famous relay track stars, both the male and female track athletes. What happened ? Why this erosion of competitiveness or sparse medal counts ?
Clearly, there are myriad explanations about why the Europeans and Americans are ceding their once dominant position in the sports arena.
As I write this, they are thinking about lowering the drinking age for Californians from 21 to 18. Every single day, there has been talk in the mainstream American news media about legalization of marijuana. It is all about dope, alcohol, and the next bonk party.
And while Americans vicariously enjoy their dope, their booze, and their partying in their sports bars, the rest of the world has just zoomed ahead and leave "Johnny Six Pack" and "Susie Cupcake" in the dust.
The precipitous decline of the West is right before our eyes. And Westerners are in complete denial about this glaring fact. And they are enraged, surly, arrogant, and worse, racist against any other than Europeans and white people.
I say, "let them carp; let them hector; let them diss us." Just forge ahead stoically, and work hard.
And why they are at it, consider some of the "basket" cases in America's fast deteriorating cities.

As I write this, Oakland, the city across the Bay from San Francisco, is gripped by a crime wave of armed robberies victimizing its food establishments. In less than 4 weeks, at least eight armed robberies have been committed against restaurants where the restaurant staff, as well as diners, were victimized and fleeced of their wallets.
And there is nothing the Oakland police can do about it.
Worse, the California government is gripped by gridlock, deep in a hole, with a budget crisis of major gargantuan proportion, short by US$ 17 billion, just for this fiscal year.
It is now August, past the deadline of July 1, for the California legislature to pass a state budget; and they can't get past the dysfunctional mindsets of "tax and spend." US$ 17 billion in the hole, and California's legislators are talking about lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18 years of age.
Talk about perversity and the epidemic of "affluenza."
And here the Western mainstream anglo news media is carping about China and demonizing the Chinese on everything from the air, the toilets, the food, and the strange creatures they find in China's capital city.
Disgusting.
