Racism Is Good - Unless You're White

Or, The Continuing Media Narrative of ‘Acceptable’ Racism.

Dr. King once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Apparently, US Attorney General Eric Holder didn’t get the memo.


As reported and applauded by Politico, Holder announced Tuesday that he was fed up with listening to whining whites who claim the justice department deliberately blocks investigations of black on white racism. Predictably, the Establishment media sides with Holder.
“Think about that,” Holder said. “When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subjected to that with what happened in Philadelphia, which was inappropriate .. .to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people,” said Holder, who is black.
Holder noted that his late sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, helped integrate the University of Alabama.
“To compare that kind of courage, that kind of action, to say some Black Panther incident is of greater concern to us, historically, I think just flies in the face of history,” Holder said with evident exasperation.”
So the obvious takeaway from this is that some racism is worse than others. Some racist injustice is worthy of prosecution, other racism is not. Apparently, whites simply haven’t suffered enough. They don’t deserve legal protection. So, any injustices committed against white people should be swept under the rug. It’s not worth Eric Holder’s time.

One might be shocked by the statements. One might even wonder why the media chooses not to attack Holder for his patently racist statements. After all, were a white man to suggest this, his career would be over in a hail of media machine-gun fire. Reporters would fall over themselves to attack him, and his family would be ruthlessly attacked in the community. His kids would have to stay home from school (assuming their teachers weren’t on strike, anyway), and he’d get hate mail and death threats for decades.

But the Establishment Media’s lack of moral indignation isn’t surprising. In America, it’s blasphemous to even suggest that whites could be victims of racial injustice.


Whites are the permanent “oppressors” in the mainstream media narrative, while all other races are the permanent “victims.” In fact, “white” and “oppressor” are essentially synonymous — meaning: whites are the bad guys. All whites have been lumped together and typecast in a bad reality TV show. Because whites as a group do not have clean hands, therefore, they are denied the right of seeking justice.

If that isn’t stereotyping, I don’t know what is.

The larger issue, of course, is that “whites as racists” constitutes the fundamental lens through which Holder views issues in America. During the healthcare debate, Holder likened opposition of Obamacare to opposition to civil rights. Not civil rights in the sense that, “all Americans share civil rights,” mind you, but “Civil Rights” as in the struggle for black legal equality in America during the 40’s-60’s. Translation: those who oppose Obamacare are racists.

Such language is naked race-baiting and scapegoating. But Holder doesn’t care. Whites are the bad guy bogeymen, trotted out when it gets tough to pass legislation. And his recent comments reveal his paradigm: white Americans are generally racist and any time they oppose any Obama policy or “injustice” at the hands of a racist group, they’re either being racists or they’re simply not entitled to equal protection because they haven’t suffered as much as other groups.

Nobody is seeking to belittle the suffering of other people, here, but America seeks equality. This means equal protection under the law, not equality in historical racial suffering.

Holder’s statements are completely sadistic, and they betray his motives. He has a score to settle, and by his figure whites have a lot more suffering to endure before they have a right to expect justice from the “Justice Department.” Satisfying vendettas is for Mob Bosses, not the US Attorney General’s Office.

The Establishment media’s silence regarding his racist statements demonstrates agreement and approval. Such hypocrisy. Such shame. Such racism.

Shocking Report: NAACP Accuses TEA Party of Racism!

If Tiger Woods had accused his wife of infidelity, who would have paid any attention?  If BP had complained that Shell was operating unsafe oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, would they have any credibility?  Reasonable people would have found these claims pretty ridiculous and a poor attempt to shift negative focus away from the accuser(s).  Why, then, would anyone give credence to a report by the NAACP that charges the TEA Party with "elements of racism" within their ranks?

The NY Times reports:


The nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization declares the Tea Party “permeated with concerns about race” in a new report that is likely to reignite a feud between the two groups.
The report by the NAACP, released Wednesday morning, argues that Tea Party groups “have given platform to anti-Semites, racists, and bigots,” and have attracted white nationalists looking for recruits.
“The Tea Party movement has unleashed a still inchoate political movement who are in their numerical majority, angry middle class white people who believe their country, their nation, has been taken from them,” argues the report, called Tea Party Nationalism.
Written by Leonard Ziskind, an author who has written extensively on white nationalism, the report looks at what it calls six nationwide Tea Party networks at the core of the movement. It says that leaders of all but one — FreedomWorks, a libertarian group in Washington headed by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey – have raised questions about President Obama’s birth certificate or have ties to white supremacist groups.
Big shock.  The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People apparently believe they have a unique entitlement to group people together for the purpose of furthering the objectives of that group.  Well, not EXACTLY unique.  They didn't have a problem with Jose Angel Gutierrez, professor, University of Texas, Arlington and founder of the La Raza Unida (The United Race) political party.  His very public comments didn't elicit any outrage from them.  If you'll recall, he famously declared:
“We have an aging white America … They are dying …We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him.”
They also had no problem with Malik Zulu Shabazz and his New Black Panther Party.  They were the kind-hearted folks that gave us voter intimidation in Philadelphia.  You can click here to watch Shabazz in his own words http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h19ETFNCvD4&feature=player_embedded#at=113 expressing admiration for Osama Bin Laden. Yes, he's also very adamantly anti-semitic, too.

We could examine countless examples of the intellectual dishonesty that is part of the very fabric of the NAACP.  But you probably already know that.  So we really should be discussing the question "Who gives the NAACP, or any of these other racist organizations the authority to use this double standard as a weapon against the rest of society?"  In short - you do. 
By holding your tongue in an attempt to be politically correct you are furthering the cause of radicals.  Why is political correctness held in such high regard?  Who benefits?  You've probably become so conditioned that you've not stopped to think about that. 

Well it's high time you did think about it.  We're either a post-racial society, or we're not.  We're either a society concerned with truth and justice, or we're not.
