The white supremacy threat

On By EmtibuLeave a comment

Society shoud call out with a loud voice and identify white supremacy for the evil that it is, like any other evil ideology. It is unacceptable! It must be condemned wherever it rears its ugly head. 

That said, let’s be honest. The idea that white supremacy is a problem that is pervading American society is a ruse. It is ridiculous! This is not to say that racism does not exist. It surely does. One would have to be a fool to make such a statement. 

In a country as large as the United States of America, that is as diverse as America, it is impossible for there not to be racism. The idea that white supremacy is a major threat to American society  however is a tool that is used by politicians to scare people into voting for certain politicians, and turning away from others. 

For a large segment of the population, people do not have to actually do racist things in order to be considered racist. One simply needs to have certain political beliefs, and that is enough for people to label that individual as a racist. It is a sinister tactic that is part of an overall strategy designed to keep people’s minds off of real issues, and instead focus on the white supremacist bogeyman. 

Here is a couple examples of how it works. Charlie Rangel, a former black Congressman from New York once said, “it’s not sp** or ni***r anymore, Republicans just say cut taxes.” Another media commentator once said “Republicans are using [the IRS scandal as their latest weapon in the war against the black man. ‘IRS’ is the new ‘N****r.'” By labeling opponents as racists, for many; the conversation then shifted from tax cuts, and a really huge scandal that involved the IRS to making sure that the “scary evil racists” don’t attain, or are removed from power. 

During the reign of Barrack the great, this tactic of labeling every political disagreement as racist went into overdrive. Every criticism or mean word spoken against the great one was labeled as racist. Just the fact that his holiness was black and most of his detractors were white was sufficient grounds for his political opponents, or people who simply did not like him to be labeled as racist. It went like that for eight straight years. If you opposed Obamacare you were a racist who did not like that a black man was in charge etc. 

If people make a case for voter ID laws, they are immediately called racist and the topic of whether or not voter ID laws are a good idea is avoided because after all, everyone knows racist laws are bad, right. 

Over the years the bar to label someone as racist has been lowered to such an extent that racists acts are no longer required. No proof is ever necessary! All that is is needed is the assurance in one’s own mind that the accused is racist. 

This glib use of the word racism is only ever directed against one group…white people, and it does not matter how much improvement there continues to be in race relations. The charge of racism will be hurled at a person without hesitation despite how that person has lived his or her entire life. One slip of the tongue is all it takes and an individual’s reputation, career and life could be ruined by the charge of racism.

In America today a person could recover from being labeled a murderer faster than being labeled a racist, yet the refrain continues and the beat of the drum is constant. America is racist. White supremacy is a major threat in America. It is a lie!  It is a crafty device that is meant to shade certain people and policies from criticism. The constant cries of racism is meant to scare political opponents, and to destroy them if they dare to step out of line. 

Many white people walk around on egg shells, scared to death of being labeled as racist, and they fold up into the foetal position cowering in the corner at the mere idea of being labeled a racist. Many of them try to deflect negative attention by joining the chorus and labeling others as racist for no sound reason. These white saboteurs then get to pat themselves on the back for “telling it like it is,” or “speaking truth to power,” when in fact all they are doing is signaling their own virtue, and in the process continuing to tear the country apart based on a completely false narrative. 

Again, just to be completely clear, no one here is saying that racism does not exist. News flash! We will always have racism, just like we will always have other forms of evil. Let’s identify racism, confront it where and whenever it shows up and keep on moving, but the idea that racism and white supremacy is an integral part of  the American fabric is laughable. 

More people should stop being afraid to say so and treat it for the joke that it is.

Michelle O, demagogue supreme

Michelle Obama in an interview a few weeks ago stated that people are now dismissive of the Presidency because a black man was recently the President. She went on to add, “I guess it’s kind of like if the black guy can do it, anybody can do it — and that’s not true. It’s a hard job.”

So according to Michelle, everyday Americans around the country were saying after the the reign of Barrack the great “oh that was easy…shoots and a black dude did it with such ease too…ah the Presidency must not be all it’s cracked up to be.”

Again, just to reiterate, this woman who told us that until her husband, the anointed one, Barrack Hussein Obama (praise be unto his name) was nominated to run for President, she had no reason to be proud of her country, is now telling the rest of the nation that because a black man was recently the President, people now dismiss the Presidency.

What do you say to that? How does a woman like this develop such disdain for her country, and such a low opinion of her fellow citizens. For people like Michelle Obama, no matter how far they go in life, no matter how much they achieve, no matter the opportunities they’ve been afforded, they can never rid themselves of the racist bogeyman. For them, lurking around every corner is a white man whose sole purpose in life is destroy them. Every shadow is a racist gun just waiting to open fire on them.

There is nothing that anyone can do that will ever convince them that generally speaking, people are not trying to do them harm. They believe that as long as this world remains imperfect, and as long as bad things sometimes happen there is no reason to be appreciative of all the good things that exist in their life.

Michelle Obama who polls tell us is the most admired woman in the world is a world class demagogue. She is a flame thrower, a gaslight who continues to add fuel to all the racial discord that exists in this country. It is because so many listen and give credence to people like her that black people continue to see themselves as second class citizens in America.

They refuse to live as free men and women because they believe what Michelle and her ilk says. They will have a cow over Donald Trump telling people that if they hate the country so much they can go back to their country fix it then come back and show us how it is done, but will have absolutely no problem with race hustlers like Michelle Obama making these awful statements. It is not that she said this about a few people who she believes think this way, but about tens and tens of millions of Americans.

Oh, she’s dignified alright. She’s has an air of sophistication that Donald Trump will never be able to match but she is dangerous precisely for this reason. She has credibility. So when she says that people dismiss the Presidency now because a black guy was recently President, intead of pushing back on such a divisive statement, people shake their head approvingly. In their minds its a fact, most Americans think that black people are stupid. After all if such a thoughtful, intelligent woman like Michell O is saying it, there must be something to it, right?

When the people who support Donald Trump hear demagogues like this woman talk, and they hear people defend statements like what she made, make excuses for her, their support for Trump grows. Whereas with Trump, a lot of mind reading and interpretation is required to come up with one’s opinion of him, people like Michelle Obama tell the country over and over who they are and what they think.

These are really sick people who hide behind a veneer of sophistication to spread their bilge.

People can support them if they wish while ignoring the substance of what they say and believe. But please save the lectures, the fake selective outrage and the posturing for another day. No one on the other side wants to hear it.
