Reverse Discrimination
By George Neumayr
Published 3/12/2008
Left-wing paternalists regard themselves as architects of racial progress, guarding and guiding blacks along the path of success -- a role in which they assume to stand forever at the head of the march. But what happens when blacks overtake their enlightened white helpers? All hell breaks loose and the mask of progress drops to reveal the stricken faces of the white avant-garde .
Geraldine Ferraro's remarks confirm that beneath left-wing paternalism lurks considerable racism. "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she said to the Daily Breeze. "He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
Since liberalism is not based upon natural justice but willfulness, it never fails to devour its supposed beneficiaries. Ferraro's condescension captures the tone of paternalistic liberalism perfectly. Its "victims" should know their place and plot their ascent according to the progressive charts set up by the white liberal establishment.
We'll let you know, Barack, when it is your time to win -- that's been the tacit theme of the Clinton campaign all along. Such is the generosity of Lady Bountiful she'll even let him serve as her apprentice in the VP chair for eight years.
But chaos has erupted and the plantation progressives don't know what to do, except to blurt out pent-up racial resentments. Then, the victims, whom they spent the last few decades training in hair-trigger racial sensitivity, turn on them in righteous fury, detecting nuances of racism in everything from Andrew Cuomo's description of Obama's press conferences as "shuck and jive" events to Bill Clinton's belittling Jesse Jackson comparison to Ferraro's sniffing at his "luck."....

Obama wouldn’t be in this position of he wasn’t black much like beast wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the gender card.
This is all so beautiful.
THANK YOU RUSH!
It’s true. So why is it ‘racism’? This is about the only time I’ve ever agreed with GF. Obama wouldn’t even have won a single primary if he’d been white. Absolutely true.
This year’s democratic campaign is doing more to expose the morally bankrupt hypocricy of modern liberalism than a hundred years of conservative stump speeches could.
Methinks it’s all a bit of Divine intervention. All the past traps the Dems have set for their enemies are ensnaring themselves instead. Reaping what they have sown...
thats how me sees it.
It is Divine intervention, and Rushs Talent on Loan From God play a big part at a crucial time.

When DEMOCRATS on sites like Daily KOS are calling Hitlery “Senator Palpatine”, you KNOW there has been a sea change...
So does that make her opponent “Senator Ovaltine”?
Let the fur ball continue to grow. LOL!
I though she was a big backer of affirmative action.
Here’s an interesting thought, I agree he wouldn’t be in this position if he wasn’t black, but he also wouldn’t be in this position if he wasn’t half-white. SNL had a sketch a long time ago with Julian Bond claiming “everyone knows light skinned blacks are smarter than dark skinned blacks.” Garrett Morris would sit there saying, “Say what?”
Of course it’s true. But you have to admit, it’s so damn satisfying to see white liberals hoist on the petard of racism, when they accuse conservatives of it everyday. Nice to know the sword they hammered and sharpened cuts both ways.
Everyone knows liberals like colored folk more. Especially the clean, articulate ones.
Excellent rejoinder ;-)
Yeah!
That fits quite well.
Now that's FUNNY!!!
Oh, but she is . ..
as long as it’s not her ox.
