As yall know, today is Martin Luther King Jr Day. He was a leader who was assassinated, but had a pretty chill vision of ‘all humans chilling together even if we don’t have the same racial skin tone’ because we are all from africa but then went to different continents by boats and land bridges eventually settling and our skin changed colors because the sun is shinier in different places so it doesn’t even matter because it is just pigment and all of us are ultimately the same except Africans got effed over and had to be slaves because white people are all effed up but they wanted to run some sick ass farming systems so hopefully things are better now unless Walmart as an employer is some sort of metaphor 4 slavery.
N e ways… I just wanted to take some time to go back thru HRO history and honor the greatest blipsters that have ever been blogged about. These are probs some of the of the most important blipsters in HRO history, since they are probably some of the most influential blipsters in alternative cultural history. They probs inspired African American mainstreamers to ‘become a lil more alt’, teaching them that there was a way to ’stay true 2 their culture’ without leaving behind their rich heritage/pissing off their family by ’seeming too white.’
Which 1 is ur fave blipster?
Which 1 do u think inspired the most pre-blipster brands?
Who is ur fave blipster of all time?
Kanye West shopping at Am Appy
Group of Progressively Dressed Black Males who trick u into thinking Kanye West is there

Blipsters chill @ (possibly segregated?) relevant coachella pool partie
so many blipsters
so many memories
such a good time
4 every1 on the planet
even alternative ppl
Feel like maybe MLK finally won. We have a black president of the United States of America. Most major professional sports leagues are dominated by African Americans. The blacks have their own ‘vibe’/’style’ of music that white ppl buy via the iTunes super store.
Really feeling happy today, like I am a good person since I am ‘tolerant’ and try to maintain friends who are all different colours without even trying. As an authentic alt, I just search for ppl who are 80-100% authentic. Like surrounding myself with a group of ppl who ‘get it.’
I honestly feel like we are all equal, because we all can have a twitter, and we all have the chance to get as many followers as we want. Seems like the dream is very alive. I am proud to be alt today, because I know that our alt community is ‘transparent’–there is no such thing as skin colour. Even if the mainstream world still has racial issues, eff them… cuz I already live in utopia.
I think the alt community has a lot of great initiatives going on to help African American artists. I think 10% of all blogged content should involve minorities. It is good that indie sites ‘pretend to be into authentic rap’ to meet that quota. The truth is, the white run alternative media is very afraid that African Americans will ‘takeover’ much like they have in professional sports. They are afraid that if white indie music gets ‘too ethnic’, then it will eventually merge into mnstrm hiphop culture.
I sorta wish we were all the same so there wouldn’t be any problems, but then there would be less of an opportunity for me 2 be an individual. It is chill that some people are ugly, obese, and dumb, so that I can ‘fit in2 society’ more than them. Just relieved I am not a horrorcore bro.
more confused than ever now. Just want 2 be me, and sorta want every1 to be equal, just as long as I am ‘a lil bit above’ equal.
XX BONUS MINORITY GROUPS XX
The Contorted Alt
AZNs
Is it chill 2 celebrate other minority groups on MLK day, or are African Americans ‘mad territorial’ about what is ‘theirs’?
Might just chill out today. Play Blipster Bingo in honor of AfroAmerbros
Sorta miss the days when I was first ‘getting to know’ abt black culture [via the television]. Seems like I always knew people of different colours were as chill as me.
Do u think alt culture gives all races an ‘equal chance’ 2 fit in, or are alternative ppl ‘just as racist’ as every1 else?

My fave is Ninja Fucking Sonic, ya’ll!!! Saw them at a relevant Coachella pool party and I couldn’t tell if they were ironic, but they made fun of the audience for not knowing Doug E Fresh’s music and then insisted that “All the ugly broads need to leave the party right fucking now” and sang songs about being a “Tight Pants Wearin’ Ass N-word”

Hey dude! I just wanted to say, I love your site but I hate black people. One time I raped so many asian girls that I had all these nose bleeds and when I came to, your website was there. Ironically, this website only promotes hatred! I mean, come on buddy, my website, brooklynvegan.com people at least pay me money to promote there bands properly! You know…people like viacom (owners of stereogum) and pitchfork media.
Why, did you know that you immediately sell 50,000 for getting best new artist on Pitchfork Media? I mean..people like Brendan Fowler of ANP Quarterly Magazine and the band BARR won’t return my emails, the band Lightning Bolt is letting their friend Johnathan Scanlan’s mother (who actually has cancer)’s grandmother (also actually has cancer) and AIDs patients getting thrown out on the street so he’s forced to become an alcoholic, but fortunately all these golden globe and Haiti benefits are going to set it straight!
Conclusively, I think you should apologize to black people, hipsterrunoff. I don’t think its funny to make fun of black people and I don’t think its “cool” to make fun of asians or girls. You need to seriously get your act together buddy. This sort of thing is not like the kind of thing you should like be doing.. I mean like society is like a big egg and you’re like messing with the egg, you know?

Hey dude! I just wanted to say I think its cool that you like talk about black people. I have a lot of black friends and when I invite them over, my roommate (who is a molecular biologist) always makes all these upsetting jokes about “the holocaust never happening” and “how dumb niggers” are. I just want to thank you for the perspective. Recently, I learned I was dying of age and just want to have a bunch of sex. You’ve helped me discover that AIDs isn’t a virus, its a condition. If you think you contracted AIDs, then you probably did.

Sry dudes. I’m an African American and a “hipster.” I find this whole “blipster business” a bit ridiculous. As if minorities aren’t already misunderstood. Way to marginalize/ stereotype a group of individuals! You should aim to celebrate ethic groups with dignity, not mere blogosphere babble and snark.

Just when the line of self-segregation becomes
a little fuzzy blogs like this have to come and redefine it. I’m a minority and most white ppl around me are kind of racist not because they are nazzis but because they are stereotypical/scared of ppl of other race. But once they become good buddies with a non-white person they are cool with it. Eventually they even forget that he/she is not white. Why can’t ppl just let the line fuzz? Why do they have to celebrate holidays like MLK day? I mean I get the whole blk ppl are less discriminated against and stuff but I just feel like it’s things like this that push the progress backwards every once in a while.
Sorry I gotta chill l a lill. Bye
P.S. Love the blog.

How come i feel like its in”alt”-thentic to acknowlegde segregation-causing holidays for anything more than time and a half at work than the remembrance of a really chill bro who is associated to being black more than should he be rather than for just being a really chill bro?
How come writing racial blogs on MLK day are so easy to write about carles?
How come “everythings” carles says is so perfectly post- ironic ironic in reverse and makes perfect sense?
How come i think carles is my english teacher who is tryin to bang my alt french art professor who is way to alt-hot for “carles” but only dates mexi-alts now, but carles fcked up and told her he was white and so now she wont give him any play ?
How come people lose the chance to be first to comment by actually writing something instead of first, like i did?
