Facing Down Racism (...everyone who is white-skinned is racist)
The Cape Cod Times ^ | 12-10-2014 | K.C. Myers

WEST BARNSTABLE – “I’m racist,” Elenita Muñiz told a crowd gathered at Cape Cod Community College on Tuesday. Muniz, coordinator of the Barnstable County Human Rights Commission, said she took an online quiz, showing that even she, a blue-eyed Puerto Rican and human rights advocate, harbors racist views.

Muniz served on a panel to observe national Human Rights Day, which is today. The discussion focused on the shooting death of Michael Brown, 18, an unarmed black man killed by Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9 in Ferguson, Missouri, and similar national incidents. Wilson, who resigned from the police force after a grand jury did not indict him, fired 12 shots at Brown.

Besides Muniz, panelists were Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe; Mashpee Police Chief Rodney Collins; John Reed, past president of the Cape’s chapter of the NAACP and chairman of the Barnstable County Human Rights Commission; and Keith Clarke of Concerned Black Men of Cape Cod.

“Racism is alive and well in this country and everyone who is white-skinned is racist,” Muniz said. “The bottom line is, just as men are responsible for ending sexism ... only white people can end racism and we need to work on that. It is very hard to acknowledge our privilege.”

Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama, and other Obamanites subscribe to an ideology known as Black Liberation Theology. This is where the ‘white privilege’ argument starts. Much of the theory was articulated by Dr. James Hal Cone in his work, ‘Black Theology and Black Power’. Here are some excerpts from that work:

“All white men are responsible for white oppression. It is much too easy to say, “Racism is not my fault,” or “I am not responsible for the country’s inhumanity to the black man...But insofar as white do-gooders tolerate and sponsor racism in their educational institutions, their political, economic and social structures, their churches, and in every other aspect of American life, they are directly responsible for racism...Racism is possible because whites are indifferent to suffering and patient with cruelty. Karl Jaspers’ description of metaphysical guilt is pertinent here. ‘There exists among men, because they are men, a solidarity through which each shares responsibility for every injustice and every wrong committed in the world, and especially for crimes that are committed in his presence or of which he cannot be ignorant.’ “ - James Hal Cone, Black Theology and Black Power, p. 24

“For the gospel proclaims that God is with us now, actively fighting the forces which would make man captive. And it is the task of theology and the Church to know where God is at work so that we can join him in this fight against evil. In America we know where the evil is. We know that men are shot and lynched. We know that men are crammed into ghettos...There is a constant battle between Christ and Satan, and it is going on now. If we make this message contemporaneous with our own life situation, what does Christ’s defeat of Satan mean for us?...The demonic forces of racism are real for the black man. Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man “the devil.” The white structure of this American society, personified in every racist, must be at least part of what the New Testament meant by the demonic forces.” - James Hal Cone, Black Theology and Black Power, pp. 39-41

“Racism is a complete denial of the Incarnation and thus of Christianity...If there is any contemporary meaning of the Antichrist (or “the principalities and powers”), the white church seems to be a manifestation of it. It was the white “Christian” church which took the lead in establishing slavery as an institution and segregation as a pattern in society by sanctioning all-white congregations.” - James Hal Cone, Black Theology and Black Power, p. 73]

Just think how many of the good folks on that list would be alive if they were carrying a firearm, had some necessary training in self-defense, and the will to do so.

As for MISS Muniz...
She’s right. She IS a racist.

BTW, I want to take that test. I can create answers that would melt their connections.

Elenita needs to check her hate, check her entitlement and check her own racism.

There aren't many countries or people that don't hate whitey, but I live in one of them because let's face it, why would I live in a place where they didn't like me because of my skin colour!

Screw that!

I'm racist - I think there are differences between the races.
I'm sexist - I'm sure there are differences between the sexes.
I'm homophobic - I'm not sexually attracted to men.

And don't forget to include Critical Race Theory and Derrick Bell into the mix.

Isn’t it racist to accuse some group of misdeeds based on the color of their skin?

It is pathetic to me how easily so many people have been brainwashed into helplessness and being passive in the face of aggressive, ultimately lethal actions.

That list is a small sampling of what occurs everyday across the Country.

I remove the race component, because it’s about human beings at the end of the day. Nodody deserves to be murdered. But all deserve the right - and the ability - to PREVENT themselves from being murdered.

They don’t have a grip on reality only a desire to control.

It is dhimmitude. Those who are members of the inferior group who readily identify as inferior (racists, evil whites) are lauded. Those who point out blanket “you’re white, you’re bad” labels as racism are decried as racist and thus more evil.

“Racism is alive and well in this country and everyone who is white-skinned is racist,”

Racism is a product of subjectivism, determinism, and collectivism. These are the mentalities of libtards, and explains why libtards are obsessed with race.

Ha! It doesn’t apply to me because I self-identify as a black lesbian Jew. To remain anonymous, I change my self-identity from time to time. Earlier this year, I self-identified as a gay Japanese Muslim, just to keep “them” confused. I changed because I wouldn’t go to bars because of my religion.

Cheers,
Bat

If it is unavoidable to be a “racist”, then who gives a rat’s a**.

I don’t. I get Hell on Facebook for it, but I’ve not adopted a politically correct posture. I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em.
