RACISTS OF TODAY ARE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR…

Much has been said, especially of late, how despite the fact that America has made some tremendous progress, racially speaking, it still has a very long way to go.  Now in one sense I suppose there is some truth to that claim.  Because while racism has been significantly reduced in one regard, white on black, it is black on white racism that seems to have increased, and rather dramatically so, over just the past few years.  And whether or not anyone chooses to admit it, it is within the black community that you will find a majority of the racists who, today, reside here in these United States.    

Case in point is someone who has been described as having been a lieutenant of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ms. Diane Nash.  It was just this past weekend that the esteemed Ms. Nash described what went through that miniscule mind of hers when she noticed that former President George W. Bush was about to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, on Saturday along with Barry “Almighty” and the many others who were there to mark the 50th anniversary of 1965′s Bloody Sunday.  And at no time was there any mention of the fact that the politicians involved in the events of that day in 1965, were Democrats.

Said the very racist Ms. Nash: “I refused to march…when it was apparent that he was going to be part of it.”  She then went on to say, “I think the Selma movement was about nonviolence and peace and democracy, and George Bush stands for just the opposite — for violence and war and stolen elections.”  And then, leaving very little doubt that she is, in fact, one of the most ignorant people that you are likely to anywhere on the planet, she said, “And George Bush’s administration had people tortured, so I thought that this was not an appropriate event for him.”  What an absolutely idiotic thing to say on such a day. 

Declaring that Bush’s “presence is an insult,” Nash went on to say she “did not wish to be part of something that included him.”  We’re supposed to believe that Nash worked closely with King, taking part in nonviolent protests and helping to organize the 1963 March on Washington and promote the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  But if that’s the case, then I guess Ms. Nash has long since forgotten that had she had to depend on the Democrats for passage of that very important legislation, it would never have been passed, much less even brought up for a vote.  But she conveniently forget that fact.

But that’s all ancient history, I guess, at least for the likes of Ms. Nash.  Because the truth is that the political party to which she has chosen to be a member of has worked very hard to undermine all that Dr. King accomplished, is all of very little consequence.  It’s was the Democrat Party that supported slavery and Jim Crow, and it is also a fact that the Ku Klux Klan and segregation were both creations of Democrats.  But things didn’t stop there.  Because with his ‘Great Society’, LBJ declared he’d “have the N*ggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years.”  And so far he seems to have been correct.

I have never really understood why it is that blacks can be so forgive when it comes to the very dark past of their political party of choice.  They seem only too to ignore the history of the Democrat Party, a history steeped in racism while the same time quite eager to believe the Democrat version of the Republican Party’s history.  And for what would appear to be no other reason than to make sure they are able to continue to get their Democrat Party sponsored government handouts.  After all, that’s far easier than actually looking for a job or, God forbid, finding one, so that you then have to go off to work every day.      

I think it’s obvious that racism will never end in this country until more blacks choose to act a bit more like responsible adults and a little less like spoiled brats who as soon as they don’t have their way start throwing around accusations of racism.  They have come to simply expect those things which the rest are forced to work for.  Everything from a good college education, a good job, good daycare of our kids, you name it.  Blacks feel that such things are somehow owed to them for the perceived injustices they were made to suffer in the past.  Many have never been able to move beyond the days of slavery, which ended 150 years ago.
