iodine, baby oil, mormons & the end of the world as we know it

when caucasians talk about
spreading iodine & baby oil on themselves in order to
sit out in the sun
and
burn themselves to a different color,
it makes me think of those girls who
milk the tanning huts during the winter months
in order to create the illusion that they are
orange
all year round.

when these idiots look in the mirror,
outside the obvious fact that they are not happy with
themselves & are
insecure in their own
skin,
what is it that makes them leap that extra foot to
assume the color of a
road construction sign?

don’t they know that they are orange?
can’t they see the brightness bouncing back at them?
don’t they have any non-orange friends who are
happy being themselves,
who would say…
“um,
you’re orange…you know that?”

it makes me wonder what racists do when their
orange teenage daughter
comes home from a day of tanning---
if the shrewd KKK daddy runs upstairs to get his
cleanest white sheet &
then quickly cuts out eyeholes
like the principle did on South Park in order to cover up
cartman’s forechosen
hitler costume,
throwing it over his daughter &
sighing with relief.

it makes me wonder what mormons who initially
said in their “holy book” that
those who were not “white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome”
(the uncursed),
were “cursed” with blackness by “god”
(“God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.” 2 Nephi 5:21-22)
& to take it all a step further,
that mitty
(republican presidential hopeful, mitt romney),
a man who believes in the words of
joseph smith, the plates, pre-existent spirits, the modern “prophet” thomas spencer monson, jesus in america, multiple worlds & multiple gods, etc.
will be a good man to have his
finger
on
the
button.
