You don't pick up the racial spin? OK, not sure where to start with that one. All I can think is that you're being deliberately obtuse. The post makes a direct comparison between this photograph distortion and that of an O.J. Simpson photo years ago. It says OJ's photo was changed to make him "look more menacing, because as every liberal reporter knows, black is bad." (Stated ironically, of course.) The post then says "the whole black community was up in arms about this scandal," and Time subsequently apologized. Then it shows the distorted Condi photo and wonders whether the media will "care about racism when it is directed at 'house Niggas' like Condi."
The use of the word "racism" suggested to me that the person who posted was citing the concept of "racism." Maybe that's too big a leap.
Spin? If there was any spin, it was the press trying to spin the Simpson story to fit the theme that was buzzing around in their busy little heads. They’ve done the same thing with Limbaugh, Cheney, and a host of others. In the media’s mind, Simpson was guilty. That justified making Simpson’s look ‘menacing’. Nothing racial about it. Just the herd mentality of a brainless press responding to their glandular urges. To be sure, the black community was convinced there were racial overtones, but why not? After thirty years of racial bombardment from both the media and Democrats, what could be expected from any group that refuses to think for themselves.
So far as I know, the 'House Niggra' bit stemmed from a vicious personal attack against Colin Powell launched by Harry Belafonte a couple of years back. Belafonte didn’t exactly use the term ‘House Niggra,’ being too much of a coward to go that far, but he gave too fulsome a description to leave a doubt in anyone’s mind as to his meaning. The rapidity with which the idea was picked up by all the Democrat talking heads and media sycophants, and the fact that it was extended to apply to any Black Republican, indicates to me that it was all along meant to be a calculated Democrat talking point, and Belafonte simply had the good fortune (in his mind) to be the first to use it. For that matter, I don’t know that Belafonte was the first. It may have been that I just happened to first hear it from him.
The tactic was used with particular viciousness in several ‘yas suh, yas suh’ political cartoons launched against Condi Rice when Bush appointed her Secretary of State. And that brings us up to this latest low-life little venomous stunt. Sorry, but no, I don’t see the ‘racial spin’ in naming these despicable slanders for what they are, or for calling their authors the contemptible bottom-feeders they are.
