Why Should We Treat People Who Falsely Cry Racism With Kid Gloves?

Since we’ve entered the Obama era, we’ve learned that the same America that elected a black President twice is supposedly a seething caldron of secret racism. Don’t like Obama? You must be racist. Don’t like Democrats? SO racist! So you’re opposed to Obamacare? Obviously racist. Sick of the IRS? Racist, racist, RACIST! Are you Republican? A Tea Partier? Just a plain old, white guy? You’re a super racisty racist!!! We’re now even regularly hearing speculation that people are unknowingly racist, subconsciously racist or just racist by virtue of the fact that they somehow benefit from “white privilege.”

Here's an alternative idea: 99% of the cries of racism today are made for political reasons, by people who habitually cry racism every time they have a problem or alternatively, just by hyper sensitive, coddled mediocrities who are desperate to blame anyone but themselves for their own failures.

Just as an example, nobody wants to hear the poor, put upon first lady of the United States complaining that she was discriminated against because someone asked for her help getting something off the shelf at Target. Similarly, someone asked her husband to go get some coffee because he wearing a tuxedo and they mistook him for a waiter? Boo freaking hoo. A lot of people get mistaken for store employees at some point in their life. I’ve been mistaken for a Wal-Mart employee – and despite the fact that I wasn’t wearing a blue smock with, “How may I help you on it,” it never occurred to me to blame it on racism. “That’s because you’re white!” No, it’s because I’m not an asshat who chalks up every minor inconvenience in my life to race.

Along similar lines, no one wants to hear a man worth almost 300 million dollars, like Floyd Mayweather, claiming he’d be worth a lot more if he were white. This is a guy who has made hundreds of millions of dollars punching people in the face for a living while he beats women in his off time and he’s complaining that he got a raw deal? What’s wrong with noting how ridiculous that sounds?

The same goes for Oprah Winfrey, Spike Lee, Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx and dozens of other rich, spoiled, pampered brats who’ve been handed success on a silver platter. Apparently, they all think we should treat them like Rosa Parks because of some minor inconveniences in their life that may have tangentially involved race on the way to superstardom.

Of course, they’re all minor leaguers compared to professional race baiters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Toure, Eric Dyson, Melissa Harris-Perry, Eugene Robinson, Roland Martin, Ta-Nehisi Coates and the other boring, mediocrities who have nothing to offer other being shameless enough to call anything and everything racism for fun and profit. Encouraging people to think like victims while hurling false accusations of racism at innocent people on a daily basis is shameful behavior and you have to be an awful excuse for a human being to do it. These people are despicable and they should have to go get real jobs instead of being given media platforms to spread their hate.

On Friday, I was on the train to New York to do a teach-in on Ferguson at NYU. Beats headphones on, lost in thought, peering out the window, I suddenly saw a white hand shoving my work carry-on toward me. Startled, I looked up to see the hand belonged to a white guy, who was haphazardly handling my open bag, with my laptop perched just inside to make space for himself on the seat next to me.

That he wanted the seat on the now full train was not the problem. That he assumed the prerogative to place his hands on my bag, grab it, shove it at me, all while my computer was unsecured and peaking out, infuriated me. I said to him, “Never put your hands on my property.”

His reply: “Well, you should listen when I talk to you.” That line there, the command that when he, whoever he was, spoke, I should automatically listen encapsulates the breadth of the battle against racism we have to fight in this country.

Maybe the problem isn’t that he’s a racist, maybe it’s that Brittney Cooper is a selfish person who felt fully entitled to take up two seats on a crowded train and she didn’t like it when someone else called her on it.

Then there are the students at Oberlin who don’t think they should be able to receive less than a “C” in any class because they were out protesting Ferguson instead of studying. Gee, that sounds almost they’re trying to assert some kind of BLACK PRIVELEGE doesn’t it? But, that can’t be it, because such a thing doesn’t exist. Apparently only “white privilege” does, which is why there are no white people who are on welfare, homeless, who get shot by cops or who are generally just failing at life in some other way and….oh wait, there are lots of white people like that. We just don’t treat their skin color as an acceptable excuse for their failures.

Anyway, the point isn’t that racism doesn’t exist because it certainly does. We could all bring up behavior that everyone from the most sensitive liberal to the most pragmatic conservative would agree was racism. The point also isn’t that “black Americans” have some kind of problem, because people should be treated as individuals, not part of some nameless, faceless group. There are lots of black Americans who have no problem calling out real racism, but who don’t act as if every disagreement between a white man and a black man is a repeat of Selma, 1965.

The real point is that too many Americans have been enabling this bad behavior and that needs to stop.

Stop caring if you get called “racist” or not because quite frankly, the word doesn’t mean anything anymore. Hearing “racist” may mean that you’re a Republican, you hold a political position someone disagrees with, that you’re white, that you’re having any kind of disagreement with a black person or that someone wants the conversation to stop for whatever reason. It’s like the “Boy who cried wolf.” How many times do you come running without seeing a wolf before you go, “This is stupid, we shouldn’t do it anymore”? At what point do people stop freaking out when they’re branded as racist for no reason? The 10^th? The 100^th? The 1000^th?

Furthermore, it’s time to stop treating Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the NAACP as spokesmen for black Americans, because they’re not. They’re some of the biggest enemies conservative black Americans have and they’re all primarily interested in filling their pockets, rather than helping anyone. Don’t meet with them. Don’t seek their approval. Don’t pretend like they’re disinterested observers, as opposed to race hustlers. In short, they’re not the kings of all black Americans, so don’t treat them that way.

Additionally, stop acting as if someone’s illogical “feeling” about whether something is racist or not is valid. For example, whole idea that a cop shot Mike Brown because he was black, as opposed to because he was a thug who robbed a convenience store, attacked a cop and then charged him is just dumb and allowing it to go unchallenged has real repercussions. Stop rolling your eyes in private when people say these things and start rolling them in public.

We have to do that because realistically, since racism has already been forced to the farthest fringes of our society, we can’t expect the future to be significantly less racist than it is today. Maybe we can make some minor improvements at the margins, but what you’re looking at today is probably as good as it gets – and what do we have? People who think a guy moving their stuff on the bus is the equivalent of not being allowed to drink at a white water fountain. This is not a problem that will ever be fixed with “more sensitivity.” It’s a problem that will be fixed with more honesty and more reality. You don’t have to be rude or “fight fire with fire.” You don’t have to reel off black crime statistics for the last 30 years. We just have to stop letting the most hypersensitive among us decide what’s acceptable and what isn’t in American society. It doesn’t matter what color we are, we’re all just people and it’s time we started acting like it.

This race war crap was started for one reason and this was ;

As opposition to Obama’s abuse of his constitutional authority and talk of “impeachment” began to arise and his polling numbers fell.

What Obama needed, worked for, and got , by separating and isolating his solid group of supporters the blacks through creating out of whole cloth stories of “victimization”.

Using circumstances where lawless black youths wound up dead in felonious struggles over guns held by figures of authority. Obama used his “Bully Pulpit to reinforce that “victim” agenda in Florida and Missouri. In both cases he portrayed authority as the agressors and the perpetrators as the “victims”

In Florida’s case success was indicated by the number of incidents where members of other races were attacked severly injured or murdered by black youths committing these assults in the name of the so called “victim” All the while Obama neither commented on nor condemed such activity.

In Missouri he met with and issued a “stay the course” order to the Ferguson protesters. They in turn coordinated by the usual suspects organized nationwide protests. Their purpose and result was a successful demonstration of what would happen if congress ever moved on any constitutional efforts to restrain or even remove Obama including“Impeachment”..

Once the regime measured its unexpected success why not continue ?

Expand it to war on law enforcement. Get more cops refuse to respond or get killed if they do. or hesitate to defend themselves while attempting to confront “afro-americans” engaged in felonious assults while fleeing or are engaged in criminal activity resisting arrests.

Attack the Grand Jury system investigating police mal practice. It’s not after the facts. It’s payback directed to those poor hypenated Americans known as “Afro” who because of their financial situation are forced to pillage kill and rape. And are entitled to do so.

Exploit innocent interchanges between “afros” and different races make them (the afros) believe it’s racist. Create uneeded tension between them and other groups so that those groups not only view “afros” with aprehension, but worse, as feral creatures unable to know right from wrong

All because the regime must be protected from being questioned in its exercize and abuse of power.

Then bring in another completely alien group which they believe are easier to manipulate which will furthur isolate the “afro” who get thrown to the wolves because politically are no longer “usefull”.

All made possible by the alphabet soup running the visual and print media. And left unchallanged by the political opposition the many who know this is a well known communist/socialist political tactic used to circle the wagons to prevent accountability. But refuse to officially recognize that evil design and call it out for what it is.

Yet both those in and running the media which should seriously dealt with and the opposition have yet to have their day of reckoning for their silence. For allowing a once great country and its value system to slowly disintegrate directed by “professors of destuction” .
