Ebony Magazine: Racism in a nice wrapping

[img]/images/clipart/Prog_Off.gif[/img]
Let's face it, to be authentically "black" you must live up to, i.e., demonstrate all the black stereotypes that blacks complain about. Take Hussein here, PLEASE! Stupid? Yup. Lazy? Yup. Corrupt? Yup. A Liar? Yup. Blames others for his own screw-ups? Yup. Shirks personal responsibility? Yup. Have I missed any?

Basketball? Check
Pack of Kool Menthols? Check.
A racist? Check.
Has a cushy Affirmative Action government job for which he is completely unqualified, and from which it is next to impossible to fire him. Check...

Is Comrade Al number one on the cool 25 list? He is the best at ferreting out all the racist white men in Amerika.

Comrade Dedhedvedev
You did miss one - "sense of entitlement? Definitely!"

Well, I imagine that most comrades here could never understand the racism that Prez Mompants has to endure...

Madison, Wisconsin just had the "White Privilege Conference" for which the MacIver Institute covered very well in a couple articles:

• What Can Educators do to End White Supremacy in the Classroom?
  
• 'The Longer You are in the Tea Party, the More Racist You Become'

Comrades, I would say that we have much to learn from this - but - as they taught at the conference, it is hopeless if you are white! The best you can hope for is:

"Being a white person who does anti-racist work is like being an alcoholic. I will never be recovered by my alcoholism, to use the metaphor," Radersma said. "I have to everyday wake up and acknowledge that I am so deeply imbedded with racist thoughts and notions and actions in my body that I have to choose everyday to do anti-racist work and think in an anti-racist way."
She argued that until white people admit they have a problem, they will not be able to fight against white privilege.
"We've been raised to be good. 'I'm a good white person,' and yet to realize I carry within me these dark, horrible thoughts and perceptions is hard to admit. And yet like the alcoholic, what's the first step? Admitting you have a problem," she told the session attendees.

And of course, we all know those Tea-Bagger sorts are ALL racist! And one of them is even trying to denounce the White Privilege Conference, calling it "The White Money Conference."


And I do believe this Mr. Innis speaks for the Tea Party News Network (TPNN), thus proving how racist the Tea Party is.

Let me get this straight: Kim Radersma - a white woman who admits having "dark, horrible thoughts and perceptions" - claims all whites are racist and therefore unable to effectively teach non-whites. If she really believes this, then why doesn't she see that her "theory" itself, BY DEFINITION, is also racist in nature? This is a very sick woman.

Hiya Comradeskys, Some stupid white, middle aged, teabagger guy sent me this. I've read it over twice and I have no idea what his point is. I'm like....Duh! • By John Hawkins
1) You justify your beliefs about yourself by your status as a liberal, not your deeds. The most sexist liberal can think of himself as a feminist while the greediest liberal can think of
himself as generous. This is because liberals define themselves as being compassionate, open minded, kind, pro-science and intelligent not based on their actions or achievements, but based on their ideology. This is one of the most psychologically appealing aspects of liberalism because it allows you to be an awful person while still thinking of yourself as better than everyone else.
2) You exempt yourself from your attacks on America:
Ever notice that liberals don't include themselves in their attacks on America? When they say, “This is a racist country,” or “,This is a mean country,” they certainly aren't referring to themselves or people who hold their views. Even though liberals supported the KKK, slaughtering the Indians, and putting the Japanese in internment camps, when they criticize those things, it's meant as an attack on everyone else EXCEPT LIBERALS. The only thing a liberal believes he can truly do wrong is to be insufficiently liberal.
3) What liberals like should be mandatory and what they don't like should be banned: There's an almost instinctual form of fascism that runs through most liberals. It's not enough for liberals to love gay marriage; everyone must be forced to love gay marriage.
It's not enough for liberals to be afraid of guns; guns have to be banned. It's not enough for liberals to want to use energy-saving light bulbs; incandescent light bulbs must be banned. It's not enough for liberals to make sure most speakers on campuses are left-wing; conservative speakers must be shouted down or blocked from speaking.
4) The past is always inferior to the present:
Liberals tend to view traditions, policies, and morals of past generations as arbitrary designs put in place by less enlightened people. Because of this, liberals don't pay much attention to why traditions developed or wonder about possible ramifications of their social engineering. It's like an architect ripping out the foundation of a house without questioning the consequences and if the living room falls in on itself as a result, he concludes that means he needs to make even more changes.
5) Liberalism is a jealous god and no other God may come before it:
A liberal “Christian” or “Jew” is almost an oxymoron because liberalism trumps faith for liberals. Taking your religious beliefs seriously means drawing hard lines about right and wrong and that's simply not allowed. Liberals demand that even God bow down on the altar of liberalism.
6) Liberals believe in indiscriminateness for thought:
This one was so good that I stole it from my buddy, Evan Sayet: ” Indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to indiscriminateness of policy. It leads the modern liberal to invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success. Why? Very simply if nothing is to be recognized as better or worse than anything else then success is de facto unjust. There is no explanation for success if nothing is better than anything else and the greater the success the greater the injustice. Conversely and for the same reason, failure is de facto proof of victimization and the greater the failure, the greater the proof of the victim is, or the greater the victimization.”
7) Intentions are much more important than results: Liberals decide what programs to support based on whether they make them feel good or bad about themselves, not because they work or don't work. A DDT ban that has killed millions is judged a success by liberals because it makes them feel as if they care about the environment. A government program that wastes billions and doesn't work is a stunning triumph to the Left if it has a compassionate sounding name. It would be easier to convince a liberal to support a program by calling it the “Saving Women And Puppies Bill” than showing that it
would save 100,000 lives.
8) The only real sins are helping conservatism or harming liberalism:
Conservatives often marvel at the fact that liberals will happily elect every sort of pervert, deviant, and criminal you can imagine without a second thought. That's because right and wrong don't come into the picture for liberals. They have one standard: Does this politician help or hurt liberalism? If a politician helps liberalism, he has a free pass to do almost anything and many of them do just that.
9) All solutions must be government-oriented:
Liberals may not be as down on government as conservatives are, but on some level, even they recognize that it doesn't work very well. So, why are liberals so hell bent on centralizing as much power as possible in government? Simple, because they believe that they are better and smarter than everyone else by virtue of being liberals and centralized power gives them the opportunity to control more people's lives. There's nothing scarier to liberals than free people living their lives as they please without wanting or needing the government to nanny them.
10) You must be absolutely close minded:
One of the key reasons liberals spend so much time vilifying people they don't like and questioning their motivations is to protect themselves from having to consider their arguments. This helps create a completely closed system for liberals. Conservative arguments are considered wrong by default since they're conservative and not worth hearing. On the other hand, liberals aren't going to make conservative arguments. So, a liberal goes to a liberal school, watches liberal news, listens to liberal politicians, has liberal friends, and then convinces himself that conservatives are all hateful, evil, racist Nazis so that any stray conservatism he hears should be ignored. It makes liberal minds into perfectly closed loops that are impervious to anything other than liberal doctrine.
11) Feelings are more important than logic:
Liberals base their positions on emotions, not facts and logic and then they work backwards to shore up their position. This is why it's a waste of time to try to convince a liberal of anything based on logic. You don't “logic” someone out of a position that he didn't use “logic” to come up with in the first place.
12) Tribal affiliation is more important than individual action:
There's one set of rules for members of the tribe and one set of rules for everyone else. Lying, breaking the rules, or fomenting hatred against a liberal in good standing may be out of bounds, but there are no rules when dealing with outsiders, who are viewed either as potential recruits, dupes to be tricked, or foes to be defeated. This is the same backwards mentality you see in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, except it's based on ideology, not religion.

Thank you for posting this. Evan Sayet is a fave of mine and it is good to see this work include him.


it is amazing to see what those people dare to say. And I insist that Liberalism is not a congenital birth defect.
