More quotes by Jim Goad
I've realized there are far more efficient and devastating methods of disturbing people than merely sloshing around in the pigpen with obvious, profane, scatological, flat-brained, grade-school offensiveness.
Jim Goad
What's absolutely impossible to prove is the idea of innate and everlasting equality.
Jim Goad
I can't tell you how many times people - through the anonymity and safety of the Internet, of course - have told me 'You beat women' as if it was an ongoing, daily thing. The only person ever brave enough to say it to my face quickly surrendered his courage when I said, 'Would you like to step outside and see if I can beat men, too?'
Jim Goad
Equality is a nice idea, but it's entirely impossible to prove.
Jim Goad
If anything, I've probably tended more toward humor in my writing and veered more toward pleasure in my personal life.
Jim Goad
Governments throughout the English-speaking sphere are creating and then ratcheting the torque on hate-speech laws with frightening eagerness.
Jim Goad
It's not exactly courageous to be an anti-racist these days a hundred years ago, it was.
Jim Goad
Mind you, I live in an area of Atlanta that is nearly 88% black. But in six days in and around Melbourne, I saw maybe three people of African origin and maybe one easily identifiable Australian aborigine.

My hatred is diamond-hard.
Jim Goad
Though your major media kept smacking me upside the head with the word multicultural, you goddamned Australians are the most racist bunch of people I've ever seen in my life.
Jim Goad
I'll hit anyone who's seriously threatening my life... that's what happened, and that's what sent me to prison.
Jim Goad
I tend not to hang with 'the crowd' because I believe that at any given moment in history, the crowd is only standing somewhere because some lone, brave nutjob broke down the walls for them first.
Jim Goad
Liberating is a gay word, so let's phrase it this way: I know everything about me and still manage to be good friends with myself, so nothing anyone says that's truthful about me ever bothers me.
Jim Goad
It amazes me that some people who ordinarily can recognize autocratic bullying, tacky sloganeering, and - especially - camp value are unable to spot it in this Hate Scare that grips the Western world.
Jim Goad
I'm more muscular than I was in my younger days. My biceps and shoulders, especially.
Jim Goad
If I’d been talking about black trash, I might be lynched. If I was talking about white trash, I’d merely be another torchbearer in an ongoing national lynching.
Jim Goad
I'm arrogant enough to tell you that I'm smart enough to have scored higher on my Scholastic Aptitude Test than any US president whose SAT score has been made public. I even scored higher than ex-presidential candidate Al Gore, whose SAT score was so high, it was deemed as potentially off-putting to voters.
Jim Goad
Many of the racial problems in America are caused by the fact that people are innately tribal, and politicians know how to exploit that biological fact.
Jim Goad
I don't think fatherhood's changed me so much as it's conjured protective instincts I've had all along.
Jim Goad
It's very odd to observe someone else taking your identity into their own hands and getting it all wrong. I don't think most people will ever get to experience how truly weird it is.
