Writing for the Huffington Post, Zeba Blay lauded and quoted statements that compared white people to "rattlesnakes" and which said that 90% of white people could be racists.
Blay posted a video of Muhammad Ali from 1971 in which Ali said it's counter-productive to say that not all white people are racist.
In the article, Blay quotes Ali as saying:
There are many white people who mean right and in their hearts wanna do right. If 10,000 snakes were coming down that aisle now, and I had a door that I could shut, and in that 10,000, 1,000 meant right, 1,000 rattlesnakes didn't want to bite me, I knew they were good... Should I let all these rattlesnakes come down, hoping that that thousand get together and form a shield? Or should I just close the door and stay safe?In other words, if 1,000 white people are not racist, then a full 9,000 (or 90% of white people) are.
According to Blay, Ali's response was "perfect," aptly calling her article "Watch Muhammad Ali's Perfect Response To 'Not All White People Are Racist' -- In 1971."
Then, again in her story, she calls Ali's comparison of white people to snakes "perfect," writing, "boxing icon Muhammad Ali perfectly explains why the existence of some "good" white people isn't always enough."
She also had no problem with comparing white people to snakes in the first place, as if all white people are venomous killers waiting to strike. It shows Blay's perception of whites; even if 100% of rattlesnakes don't bite you, they're still poisonous predators.
"Allies are obviously appreciated and vital to stopping racial injustice, but Ali's words are still a pretty powerful reminder of the reality of being black in America," she concludes. "It's pretty amazing, if unfortunate, that over 40 years later his words still resonate."
A hundred million fanatical potentially murderous intolerant supremacist jihadis should not change the MSM perception of the ROP.
Wow. That statement is racist.
Sadly, we agree. Not because they are true; they never were, and they certainly weren't true in an America where whites overwhelmingly supported civil rights legislation when Cassius Clay made his [typically] idiotic remarks.
Caucasians are the new dhimmi.
Yes, we awful, awful white people. Maybe the best solution would be to separate, so that all the wonderful, superior, noble races do not have to associate with (ewwww!) whites.
Sounds good to me.
When facts & reality don’t support the leftwing socialist agenda, the leftwing racists ALWAYS play the race card...and now they’re playing the gender card as well.
Racists, bigots - that’s all they know how to act and attack.
Great idea. Let’s us white folk go our own way and leave “them” to stew in their own juice. But, wait... they might have to be productive or something. Even self sufficient. Their worst nightmare.
100%, same as Hispanics, Asians, AmerIndian, whatever, it's kind of human nature.
Whatever the figure, it must have doubled since 2008.
The presentation ain't pretty but the statistics are all out of scores of federal government sources. Links included.
Hover table column headers and data for descriptions.
The U.S. Department of Justice administers two statistical programs to measure the magnitude, nature, and impact of crime in the nation: the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)
Note: the degree of detail vis-a-vis crime is greatly reduced in the NCVS for 2009 and beyond; and there is no Table 42 (interracial crime data) for 2009 and beyond. But there is this the on-line DoJ NCVS victimization Analysis Tool (NVAT) separate from the annual reports. Still no Table 42 race of victim/race of offender data that I could find.
The term “racism” was invented by communists. Leon Trotsky was one of the first to use it. When whites engage in favoritism toward other whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), it’s called “racismâ€. When other groups engage in favoritism, it’s called “ethnic solidarityâ€. When you buy into these word games, it’s called being a useful idiot.
Racist is an interesting word, after all who are the real racists? A person that loves their race, is proud of all it’s accomplishments, wants to live with their own kind and preserve their heritage? Or is a racist someone that is trying to destroy someone’s heritage through mass foreign immigration, diversity, multiculturalism and race mixing?
I am 100% certain that people who view everything thru the lens of race (most of the left) are in fact the racists they accuse the rest of us to be.
I’ve said for years that I don’t care about the color of your skin. If you man up, that’s good enough for me; and I’ll call you a friend.
And 100% of liberals are dangerous morons.
Exactly. And it’s funny every other race clamors to come live in white countries with all those dreadful “racists.” “You suck!! And we demand you let us live with you!”
“This genius has nailed it. Whites are guilty of racism at birth. Therefore everything they do is a hate crime; the very worst of all crimes.”
If true, how do we have a (somewhat) black president, a top tier GOP candidate, or for that matter, ANY black in a position of power, and have not engaged in ethnic cleansing of the ghetto thug population?
Thus, it’s time to get over our weird terror of being called “racist.”
