Have you ever noticed how it is that Barry never
misses an opportunity to advance what has become his continuing claim that
racism is still not only very much alive and well here in these United States,
but absolutely thriving. And it’s in listening
to him that you would have to come to the conclusion that this country had managed
to change very little, if at all, since before the Civil War. Whether it’s in places with names like
Cambridge, Sanford, Ferguson, Baltimore or even New York City, Barry can always
be counted on to insert himself into the conversation well before any of the
facts are actually known. All the better
to steer the conversation in the proper direction, don’t you see.
So once again we are witness to Barry’s eagerness to
take it upon himself, and again without knowing any of the actual facts, to
weigh in on the topic of race, this time following the recent, and very tragic,
shooting at a Charleston, South Carolina church. On a podcast with some
supposed comedian by the name of Mark Maron, Barry discussed race and gun
control, and made the rather idiotic claim that the United States has not yet overcome
its history of racism. This coming from
an individual who has ‘used’ his race his entire life. Because had he been born white, and not half
white, there is little chance he would have never been able to make it as far
as he has. He’s simply not that bright.
Barry said, "Racism, we are not cured of it."
Then in behaving at his very crude and
offensive best as well as beneath the dignity of his office, Barry said, "And
it's not just a matter of it not being polite to say nigger in public. That's
not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It's not just a matter
of overt discrimination. Societies don't, overnight, completely erase
everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior." Wouldn’t you have
thought that, as president, he would have taken the opportunity to point out the
very obvious differences in the behavior exhibited by those in Charleston compared
to those in Ferguson or Baltimore? But
nope, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it!
Barry also said that while the country has come a
long way since he was born, the legacy of slavery "casts a long shadow and
that's still part of our DNA that's passed on." But when Barry, or any Democrat for that
matter, brings up the topic of racism, it’s always in the same context, and
they always, very conveniently, gloss over the fact that the most of prominent
players involved in perpetuating the institution of racism, were, very nearly,
all Democrats. A fact that also seems to
be lost on the vast majority of blacks in this country. It’s never mentioned that those who supported
slavery, who crafted Jim Crow laws, who supported segregation and created the Ku
Klux Klan, were nearly all Democrats.
But look, Barry is far from being the only one desperate
to make excuses for, or downplay the fact the black racism that takes place in
this country, and on nearly every single day.
Juan Williams, for instance, who appeared just last night on O’Reilly, has
worked very hard in his effort to not only downplay the extent of black racism
in this country, but to deny that it even exists. His rationale is that because there are more
whites than there are blacks, examples of black racism are to be considered as
being far too few to be considered any sort of a problem. I guess that’s makes sense in a progressive
sort of way, unless you’re the white person who gets beat up by a group of
racist blacks.
But this is how accusations of racism are used by
those on the left, as a political weapon to be used against opponents. It’s only whites who are to be considered as being
racist. Liberals make the claim that it’s
impossible for blacks to be racist because, again according to those on the
left, racism is all about power, and it’s whites who hold all the power. But I would argue that what racism is all about,
is hate. And it’s hate that not only resides
on the left, but it thrives there. Blacks
have overwhelmingly supported the Democrat Party for over 50 years and what
have they got to show for it? Absolutely
nothing, and yet blacks remain doggedly loyal and firmly on the Democrat
plantation.
I would think that it would painfully obvious to
anyone possessing even the slightest level of commonsense that the fact those
on the left who continue to rescklessly throw around accusations of racism do
so only in an effort to gain favor with the weak-minded. And sadly, the tactic continues to
demonstrate some level of success. Which
means that it will continue to be used. And that’s not going to change until we, the American
people, want it to change. Until blacks
are able to come to grips with the fact that Democrats, both white and black,
have been playing them for suckers, and for decades, don’t expect to see much
change when it comes to how race is treated in this country.
