Why doesn’t Barack Obama make jokes about himself?
That would be racist.
If someone calls me racist I shrug it off without a response and continue to press my argument.
I like NASCAR, does that make me a race-ist?
Guilty as charged...see my tag line :)
Much more effective imho, to constantly accuse the left of racism. At the drop of a hat. Reflexively.
CONSTANTLY. Accuse the left: “that sounds racist” about any critical comment on race, instinctively. Whatever they say. Seriously. Just throw it out there, and if challenged, repeat it. Ad nauseum.
When (and only when) everyone tires of the word, it won’t work anymore. Even for the most marxist on the left the word will begin losing its effect if they themselves are regularly accused of it.
After all, they’re racists.
(see, already the word begins to lose its power)
Whenever the issue of racism comes up in debate with a progressive, I make sure to point out that it was always the democrat party that was the party that formed the KKK and that even up to today the most celebrated member of the democrat party, who has been given the most praise and promotions by his fellow democrats is KKK Byrd. Many progressives will try to make the argument that all the racists left the democrats to become republicans and vice-versa which then I laugh at them and point out that it was the progressive movement that was also hand in hand with the KKK democrats.
Woodrow Wilson, the progressive, was a KKK racist who showed KKK films at the White House and had denounced the Founding Fathers. Progressive Margaret Sanger also a racist spoke at KKK meetings. Progressive FDR locked up an entire race and appointed progressive KKK lawyer Hugo Black to the Supreme Court.
Most of the policies that the progressive movement still cherish today had their origins from their progressive KKK predecessors. Separation of Church and State (which is a bigoted policy against religious views) was started at first when KKK democrats started boycotting religious ceremonies in the Congress because republicans were inviting blacks. It was then made a Court precedent by progressive KKK lawyer Hugo Black and of course the progressive democrats still cherish this policy today. Abortion policy was started by the progressive KKK Margaret Sanger who was a champion of eugenics.
The democrats and progressives have a long history of trying to deny equal rights to representation for all. They are still at it today by trying to deny the people a right to representation on issues such as how sexuality is dealt with in public. Socialism and fascism are systems that lead to slavery and not individual liberty.
Man I hope Brietbart has more videos. :)
Great point!
The question is not whether Euros will be called “racists” for finally standing up for themselves against racially-based attacks from non-Euros.
They should expect that. For almost 50 years, how many frank discussions (either on the personal or broader levels) regarding “race” have NOT ended with the accusation of “racist” being made by one side against the other?
The real issue becomes how Euros — on both the personal and “broader” levels of political dialogue — will continue to respond when such accusations are made.
The arch-typical scenario goes just like this:
1. A non-Euro cries “racist” (or “bigot”, or “hater”, or “homophobe”, or “xenophone”, or, take-your-pick)
2. A Euro replies, “I’m NOT a racist”.
And with that exchange, the argument has been defined, the battle already won and lost. BUT - who “won” and who “lost”, and why?
Well, the Euro has lost by even trying to defend himself or herself against the accusation. In this case, to respond that one “is not a racist” VALIDATES the accuser’s attempt to brand the recipient as such. It “makes racism real”, when that word is in truth a historical construct of the Left that is purposefully used against a certain ethnic/cultural group to silence them in the defense of their own culture and interests.
To respond to the race-baiters’ cry of “racist” by claiming that you’re not one, is to LOSE the argument.
“The victory” of the accuser isn’t won by proving that you ARE, beacause you’re already a racist, and have ALWAYS BEEN ONE, simply because you are of a certain ethnic/racial heritage.
No, that victory comes from your “defense” by claiming that you aren’t.
That’s the postion of the Left. And time after time after time after time, Euros fall right into that trap. I’ve seen this behavior in umpteen replies right here on FreeRepublic, as much as in the rough-and-tumble world outside.
When will Euros begin denying them such victories?
No one cowers at this cheap ass pejorative which has become a mere commodity anymore.
It’s stupid, as the only person thing abut race is the person claiming a racial slight.
Most everyone I know doesn’t even think about someone’s race until they point out how “color blind” we are, to an obvious feature, that has nothing to do with who they are as a person.
In fact, people like that get up in the morning, focused on their race and attempt to cow the rest of us for something we couldn’t care less about.
Race is your problem not ours.
You wanted to be treated as an individual, and yet, you will undermine our relationship with your caustic commentary about your race that has so little with anything and undermines everyone of your “supposed color”.
You want us to be color blind, so will be treated with parity, as a human being. But, you have no problem creating resentment for your lame “Viva La Raza, Pero, Nada La Raza” caustic commentary, which causes further divisiveness and resentment, for having to feed your insecurities.
Trust me, we don’t think of you as being inferior for your race, your stinking thinking makes it so.
Other than that, we pretty much think of you as human beings, capable of all sorts of extraordinary things and possessed with the possibilities of excellence.
Please stop excelling at stupidity and focus on productive endeavors and edifying other humans, so we can make it through the day without your invented racial disparity.
The correct term for people like Ben Jealous or other race-obsessed libs is “racialist.” These people thoroughly believe that everything in America is defined by race. Your decision on what car you like to drive for instance. If you think I’m joking, then you haven’t read enought comments by these people.
Everybody is somebody else’s racist.
This isn’t a blog. It’s commentary that should be in the editorial sideba, IMHO.
