'As Liberal As I Am,' Deutsch Feels Need To Be Schooled About Racism
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/30/2009 1:55:42 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Are liberals less racist and/or more knowledgeable about racism than others? Donny Deutsch evidently thinks so. On MSNBC this afternoon, Deutsch asked a black academic to give him an example of racism he'd encountered because "as liberal as I am, I can't understand because I've never walked in your shoes."

Prof. James Peterson of Bucknell was a guest in MSNBC's 4 PM EDT hour, during which Deutsch served as sidekick/kibitzer to host Tamron Hall. Peterson was in to comment on this evening's impending beer fest among Pres. Obama, Sgt. Crowley and Prof. Gates.

Wonder if the black man understands how I might have been bumped off a list because of affirmative action?

Why don’t they ever ask that?

Donny is a Dumb Democrat.......doesn’t know the history of the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow Laws (DEMOCRAT Organization and Laws)....doesn’t know that the DEMOCRATS fought EVERY Civil Rights Law from the 1860’s to the 1960’s, including Al Gore’s recordbreaking filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which the REPUBLICANS got Passed. IDIOT!...

He's also humble and non-patronizing. (/s)

LOL!

I saw the guy the other day, and a bigger pansy I could not imagine.

Oh, wait, there’s Obama, and Robert Gibbs.

Well, he is up there.

Laughable.

Blacks are liberal . . . black racism is alive and well.

White liberals . . .the ones I know tend to hide their racism by “being liberal” . . . then when you get them in private conversations, their true feelings come out.

White liberals . . . they proclaim their “color blindness” . . then head for the safety of white suburbs, white schools, white shopping areas. And of course, they’re all for “affirmative action” . . as long as its not their job, their student slot . .or that of their “little darlin’s”

There are a couple of examples of racism in here (extremely funny):

How about a real liberal litmus test?

Does Deutsch live in a thoroughly ‘diverse’ neighborhood?
If he has children, does he send them to a thoroughly ‘diverse’ school?
Does he attend a thoroughly ‘diverse’ church/synogogue/mosque?
Does he spend his weekends/holidays with a thoroughly ‘diverse’ group of friends/family?

Thoroughly diverse means that the place is completely integrated, not with a few token minorities to make the white liberal feel good. I.e., in a thoroughly diverse school, no one could tell the percentage of minority students.

Too many of these self-proclaimed liberals speak one way and live quite another.

Liberals believe they are more moral, more compassionate, more caring, just plain better people than you or I. That means that Liberals are allowed to lie, cheat, steal, bribe, pork interns to see that their incoherent agenda of the moment is enacted and forced on everyone on the planet. They’re better, so they’re allowed.

Donny Deutsch is the pathetic self loathing kind of person that is helping to lead this country straight into the pit of hell. I just wish there was a way to separate from these country destroying morons and let them live in the Utopia with all wonderfulness they just know they would create.

Prof. Peterson described an incident from grad school in which someone scrawled the n-word on his study cubicle, and how that upset him during his upcoming exams and the year that followed.

Really? Has professor Peterson listened to rap music?  Has he seen the ghetto blacks, whose pants sag so low that the waist is almost aligned with their kneecaps, calling other blacks 'nigger?'  I bet he has. Rap music is a part of the black culture and these bigotries have been reflected for decades, but somehow this escapes his attention and he feels much better accusing whites of racism.
