We are taught about the inherent injustice and moral depravity of racism. We are taught that such practices are not to be tolerated anywhere on this planet if justice and freedom are to be preserved for all. We are taught that racism and slavery must be eliminated or strongly suppressed wherever encountered.
This all sounds good and can be accepted at face value until we examine the antics of the far left.
The problems now begin: The liberals, who have made the greatest political gains with the issues of racism, seem to be unable to see how they, themselves, put into practice and embrace this disgusting and immoral course of action.
What is racism and how do we recognize it?? The answer is quite complicated and politically stacked to grant some phony escape-free platform to attack others while, hypocritically, practicing overt racism with the full support of the media. It seems that blacks cannot be racists because they have not power. This is a stunning achievement and a piece of wonderment. Jesse Jackson, Cynthia McKinney and Al Sharpton have no power? One would imagine that any forms of discrimination and advantage that are clearly based on race or other ethnic attributes would be defined as racism and condemned. Not for the liberals.
Not even close to being so.
Here are some examples of racism and how they are played on the liberal stage:
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York comments on a judicial appointment for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals of Judge Southwick. Here are his exact words:
Schumer: “When it comes to the area of race and racism, we have to bend over backwards,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N. Y. , a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“I certainly don’t think he’s a racist,” Schumer added. “His words have to be seen in context. Like it or not when he’s nominated to the Fifth Circuit he’s carrying 200 and some odd years…on his back. That is the issue here.”
I don’t think Al Gore is a Communist although his father took money from Armand Hammer, whose father founded the Communist Party USA and Al himself grubbed for money from the Red Chinese in some Buddhist Temple and lied about it. I don’t think Hillary is, necessarily, a Communist although her champion in college was Saul Alinsky, an avowed Communist. The Clintons took in a lot of Communist monies as well. I do think Schumer is a racist or race-baiter.
I never say that “when around left-liberal Democrats that I sometimes detect a burly scent of Communism”, at least not all the time.
Here, Schumer’s motives have been correctly elucidated by an alert blogger[1] named Allahpundit who demonstrates that the Senator from New York is actually “...accusing him [the judge] of the appearance of racism” and alerts the universe that he carries “200 and some odd years” of such behavior.
The left only carry some 150 years of Communism around in their pockets for instant reference so there is a major difference. The left liberal Democrats have shown us many examples of the appearance of being Communist stooges, as in the Viet Nam war and as exemplified by Democrat Jim Wright, former Speaker of the House when he cooed and fawned over Daniel Ortega and Fidel Castro.
We might be able to give the good senator a break here in terms of his waxy syntax if it were not for the fact that he cannot condemn, or even mention, overt racism in his own party like Senator Byrd of WVA or Al Sharpton of NYC.
From Byrd: Year 2004: “I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time…”[2]
And:
Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:
“Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds[3]”
Senator Schumer, like other racist enablers, needs to ignore and wax silent on such comments because Senator Byrd is a desperately needed for his left liberal vote in the Senate. He can be a racist [or not] if he votes for expensive social programs and tax increases as a liberal Democrat.
There are more examples
Al Sharpton speaks:
White folks were in caves while we were building empires.... We taught philosophy, astrology, and mathematics before Socrates and those Greek homos.[4]
And: "What’s wrong with denouncing white interlopers?"[5]
We can then wonder what is wrong with denouncing black racists. But, that will not work with the current set of Democrats in office.
A former instructor at N.C. State University, Kamau Kambon said blacks must "..exterminate white people off the face of the planet."[6]
Imagine the explosion if some college instructor turned the colors around on this statement. The eruptions would exceed, we expect, the attack on Rush Limbaugh for talking about ‘phony’ soldiers. Liberal racists are not phony.
Where are the good Senator Schumer and his comments about these examples?? Schumer can hint and grope low for some obscure history of the Americas for examples that might support his oblique attack on Republicans in the veiled guise of morality but cannot seem to identify stark, blatant examples of racism by blacks against whites or by his fellow liberal Democrats on the floors of Congress . This is known as political reciprocity. And, it is politically successful, as we obviously see. It gets votes and must be politically correct.
In passing, we can wonder what this means:
“Chris Rock when he says, “I love black people, but I hate niggers,” even if they themselves are not allowed to make such an honest declaration.[7]”
One wonders what color these niggers might be if not black??
For the left, the sleaze of racism drags on and this will continue until demagogues like Schumer and Byrd lose votes when they exploit bigotry and demagoguery for political gain. That will take some time.
The Dr. Martin Luther King notion of a colorblind society is made impossible by the rabid left.
