Conservatives Blind to Racism, says RedState Seer
American Thinker ^ | March 17, 2015 | Colin Flaherty

Why?

Why can’t conservatives see that black people are relentless victims of relentless white racism, all the time, everywhere, and that explains everything?

That is what Rand Paul and his acolytes at RedState want to know.

Why are Neanderthals like economist John Lott unmoved by a recent Department of Justice report that said white police are picking on black people for No Reason What So Ever? Most recently in Ferguson, where even Bill O’Reilly bought into it.

Rand Paul has been preaching the gospel of racial victimization to anyone who will listen. He even went to Ferguson to let them know too many white cops catching too many black criminals is proof positive of a racist system.

We are “blowing it,” said Leon Wolf at RedState.com, speaking of conservative chances to break the liberal stronghold on black sympathies. Wolf says it is all because of “societal sickness caused by excessive partisanship that makes us unable to see” the truth of white racism and black victimization.

And that is why conservatives are silent as black people are arrested, convicted, sentenced, and carted off to prison in numbers that are wildly out of proportion to their privileged counterparts who happen to be white or, God forbid, Asian.

Even out of proportion to other black people who are immigrants from Africa.

Black victimization, of course, has been the mantra of the president, attorney general, Little League moms, activists, college professors, congressmen, reporters, and others for the last six years.

In a recent interview with Ebony magazine, the president said we have to start giving black people the “benefit of the doubt.” And we have to recognize that white racism is a “subconscious” thing that is deep rooted, hard to spot and does a lot of damage.

“Racist”. Pardon my rant, but the word has no meaning any longer. Everyone is “racist”. Everything is “racist”.That’s all we hear any more. Even eating three meals a day has been declared “racist”. The new buzzword. The big attention grabber. All hot air like most news stories now.

“Even out of proportion to other black people who are immigrants from Africa.”

Black immigrants from Africa haven't yet learned that obeying one's elders, staying in school, striving for academic excellence, eschewing drugs and working to earn one's living is "acting white."

I’m blind!!!!!!!

The deadly Yellow Snow Crystals
Had deprived him of his sight
And he stood up
And he looked around
And he said:
I can’t see
(Do... Do do-do do do do... Yeah!)
I can’t see
(Do... Do do-do do do do... Yeah!)
Oh woe is me
(Do... Do do-do do do do... Yeah!)
I can’t see
(Do... Do do-do do do do... Well!)
No no
I can’t see
No... I...
He took a dog-doo sno-cone
An’ stuffed it in my right eye
He took a dog-doo sno-cone
An’ stuffed it in my other eye
An’ the huskie wee-wee,
I mean the doggie wee-wee
Has blinded me
An’ I can’t see

Wrong.

We’re not blind to racism. We are forced to FACE 21st century racism, -whites are EVIL, every day.

It’s sanctioned by our government; it’s all over t.v.; media; music; it’s everywhere.

And if a white steps into the wrong neighborhood, he isn’t just “looked at”... he is threatened and/or beaten, robbed, killed.

THAT is 21st century racism.

Yes, that’s exactly what “White Privilege” is referring to - a set of values that, when adhered to, result in prosperity.

When you reject the values, you reject the prosperity.
And, at the same time, you can claim victimhood and oppression as your excuse.

I say again:

Because it’s easier to say “racism” than to say “give me more free stuff.”

It was not satire...the author joins the discussion on the Red State comment section.

Looks like Red State’s has overly Barney Fife moderators too. Very boring comment section. It’s been sanitized.

You are correct. “Racist” is getting old. That might be why it’s been changed to “white privilege”. Although admittedly, I’m not sure what white privilege is supposed to mean.

I know I’m being stupid, but this whole red state blue state crap is a media creation. One election, they colored the states in red for Republicans and blue for democrats. Before that, red was the color of communism, and they deftly assigned it to conservatives. It really should be the other way around. The left of today is red, they will spill your blood for their cause. Conservatism is blue, calm and safe. By coloring liberalism blue and conservatism red they connote goodness and badness to the wrong sides. I don’t think that we should employ their designations for us. Better not to ever say red state or blue state at all, and maybe we can de-fund their meme.

They did it in 1992 to help Bill Clinton get elected. In the runup to the election, the Media purposely assigned "red" to maps they displayed representing States Bush would carry, and "blue" to the states Bill Clinton would carry. In the Previous elections, Reagan was colored "blue."

The Reason they forced George HW Bush to be "Red" was because with all the stories coming out about Bill Clinton associating with Communists, visiting Russia, Protesting Vietnam in London, touring behind the Iron curtain, it would simply attract attention to Bill Clinton's communist sympathies and possibly cost him the election.

The Media decided to keep the colors switched because pretty much all Democrats now are indistinguishable from Communists, and so the subterfuge still aids the Democrat Party.

And now, of course, that Idiot comes along and incorporates this deliberate Propaganda into his web site calling it "Red State".

Right — that’s why we support the likes of Sen. Tim Scott, Rep. Mia Love, Ben Carson, Herman Cain, Allen West, Alan Keyes, J.C. Watts, and so many others.

“Wolf says it is all because of “societal sickness caused by excessive partisanship that makes us unable to see” the truth of white racism and black victimization.”

If Wolf, or anyone else, can’t see that blacks are not only more racist than whites, but blatantly so, they must live in their closets. And black racism is not subtle. It’s knock-out game, beat-down, expletive-laden, full-throated, unashamed hatred of whites.

Erickson is far from a conservative. We get his little drool-pool of a show around the Atlanta area for a few hours a day. He’s a show-boating, propagandist, know-it-all who’s ego is on-par with Michael Weiner’s.

He’s got spies all around the GA Capital and he does have connections, but a conservative he is not.

Indeed it is. The missing ingredient could not be clearer.

Sad thing is, many people watch O’Reilly and buy off on his logic. He is very misleading about trends and the true mindset of Conservatism, racism and other important issues.

He is merely one example of Fox getting it wrong constantly.

I don’t think they really grasp Conservatism there.

Look at their talking heads. Most of them are Bill Krystal types, luke warm buckets of horse sweat at best.

I believe that's the point of the exercise...the latest lie by the latest liars.

Racism will persist in our culture so long as complaining about racism pays so well.
