NO KIDDING: HOOPZ CONSIDERS HALLMARK GREETING CARD DIVERSITY!!!



Just when a few people attempt to argue that journalism isn't dead in Kansas City . . .

JeneƩ Osterheldt keeps her job while some of the most talented newsies in town are failing at their blogs or working horrible PR gigs.

Don't take my word for it . . .

Read it and weep:

The World According To Hoopz: Greeting cards don’t reflect the colorful world we live in

For the record . . . This isn't all TKC hateration . . . Hoopz stopped wearing her signature hoop earrings, she's over 30 now, married and pretty much off my radar . . . However, longstanding complaints persist regarding her writing, topic choice and the all around quality of her work. Sure, some of the criticism can be cruel but let's not forget that she pretty much has the best newsie job in town but continues to write about what her friends discussed over lunch - Thereby inciting the wrath of just about every journalist who still bothers to read the paper out of spite and not just for the Sunday coupons like everybody else.

    neither do NAACP. BET, Telemundo, Gen X, reflect the "colorful" world in which we live.
    Typical progressive bigoted horse shit. That bitch has here job because she is black and female, not because she is qualified.

  3. Oh, she's no worse than some of the other folks writing--like Charles (I lived in Paris and you didn't, I have a cabin in the country and you don't, I have a daughter in New York who was able to get my mediocre books published and you don't, and all my pets are better than you) Gusewelle. I guess the best we can say is these people don't write columns every day.

  4. Nice point 842. He is just as insufferable, and barely a better writer.

  5. Who knew that Plessy V Ferguson would be ingnored by Hallmark?

    Jesus, shut the fuck up.

    At least we don't have to hear about how terrifying it is for her black husband to go run or jog, knowing that whites are hiding in the bushes, ready to assault her husband.

    Did I mention, shut the fuck up?

  6. This is why the KC Star is going down the toilet more and more each day. The key word is "diversity" where people like her get a column well before they deserve it simply based on race.
    Her stuff is more appropriate for a college paper.

  7. She's a new school Journalistical Expert.

  8. Racist has showed up. I have the cum guy in the pool for 2PM and the prostate dude for 4PM.

    This blog reminds me of writing on the bathroom walls in 4th grade. Similar IQ.

  9. The "brown" card line Hallmark produced for years is a money loser.

  10. If you can't figure out where you stand with a black person, check for a dick in your ass, knife in your back or bullet in your body. If none are present, you must not have met any yet.

  12. It's amazing how these people keep a job. Who in the hell would pay for this level of writing? Ops, I answered my own question. Very few people wold pay- that's way the Star is losing readership.

  13. If this is about "black santa" let's quit with that silliness.

    "Santa" originates in the Scandinavian Christian tradition. Namely, the Dutch.

    Therefore, it is impossible to have a black santa.

    1. And JesusChrist is from the middle east so it is impossible for to be WHITE!

    2. Correction: for him to be WHITE! And Easter bunnies do lay eggs! ; )

  14. I also add that, in addition to it being historically inaccurate, it is insulting and horribly offensive to all Dutch Americans by dressing their cultural icon in blackface.

    My family came from the Netherlands, and thus this issue is very real to European Americans.

  15. Wow! The Star is still in business? Must be living hell tree hugging in a place you know is done for.

  16. I'm waiting for the hard-hitting column about why it's racist for kids to drink chocolate milk.
    When you're a hammer, the whole world's a nail.

  17. Hoopz! There it is!

  18. i've seen a ton of people who look "white" in the middle east. some who look like "typical" middle easterners and some who are black.

    what's your point about Jesus' color again?

  19. So many niggers and so little time.

  20. 10:54 & 10:59: The Dutch do not come from Scandinavia. Santa Clause was derived from St. Nicholas, who was from what is now Turkey. And southern Turkey at that.

    ReplyDelete
  21. That would be Santa Claus. Santa Clause is a legal term.

  22. 2:33, bigots like yourself don't seem to understand that "white" isn't an accurate descriptor.

    When "whites" are the minority in america, you will be acknowledging a hell of a lot more than you want. It will happen soon, then the floodgates of affirmative action will work in the favor of us all.

    Until then, continue to be a closeted racist.

  23. Plenty of opportunity for Hoopz or hubby or others to start a new greeting card line.

    ReplyDelete
  24. not to mention hallmark had their Mahogany lines of cards back in the day. don't know if they still do.

    but are they supposed to mass produce a card for every possible demographic?

    it's ridiculous. and furthermore if you see a gap in the marketplace then i suggest YOU for a greeting card company to fill the niche.

    you can make cards with black and white parents. two guys. two girls. a guy and a dog. whatever floats your boat. nobody is stopping you.

  25. Next article from Hoopz: Why is snow always white (unless a dog pisses in it?)

  26. Again, it must be rough being a nigger, but forgive me, I just don't give a fuck about you OR your dumbassed struggle.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hoops is white. I dont care if she's mixed, the world she lives in and grew up in makes her white.

  28. Halmark needs to go into the gold jewelry business where there is a decent gross. All this off the wall shit they are doing is going to speed up a very slow death.
