Race is a liberal proxy for ideology.
In October 1988, Nobel poet Tony Morrison wrote an article in the New Yorker titled “Clinton as the first black president”, saying he was “Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children’s lifetime.” What then is “black”?
When Time magazine’s Jack White calls Supreme Court Justice Thomas, “the scariest of all the hobgoblins”, saying “Washington seems to be filled with white men who make black people uneasy”, then what is “black”?
On September 15, 2014, talk show host Sean Hannity interviewed Barack Obama’s half brother, Mark Obama Ndesandjo about his new book. While Ndesandjo’s father was Barack Obama, Sr., he has a different mother, Ruth (Baker) Ndesandjo, an American Jew from Boston. Ruth, like Barack Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunam, was Caucasian.
During the course of the interview, Mark Ndesandjo said that he thought Barack Obama was ashamed of Mark’s “whiteness” and that maybe Barack was a little bit ashamed of his “blackness”.
It should be more than clear now that race has become a liberal proxy for ideology. When liberals assume that anyone who is conservative Christian is “white” and everyone else is “of color” or “black”, they can then put on the mantle of moral righteousness. When a person objects to this meme, it must be “racism”. Of course, that is a lie.
Bingo!
