James Earl Jones: Tea Party Is 'Racist' (audio)
Fox Nation ^ | July 10, 2012

Posted on 07/10/2012 11:34:37 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

From Sunday's edition of the syndicated Smiley & West show:

JAMES EARL JONES: I think I have figured out the Tea Party I think I I do understand racism because I was taught to be one by my grandmother. My grandmother was part [tribal affiliation] Indian part black, she hated everybody and she taught all of her children and grandchildren to be racist to hate white people and to distrust black people.

DR CORNEL WEST: Who does she love then?

JAMES EARL JONES: Nobody

WEST: Nobody at all.

Up ‘til now, I hadn’t heard political noise out of JEJ.. but, like nearly all the others... he just couldn’t resist.

Blood is thicker than water.

Specifically what are the “racist” policies endorsed by the Tea Party?

Mr Jones cannot distinguish between people who have different fiscal policies from hIm and those who hate someone based on their race.

Sad

Americans chose a black president (Okay, HALF BLACK/HALF WHITE) to destroy the country and the morons on the left continue to call Americans “rasis”. I don’t get it.

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been the race card. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But the race card has stood the test of time. This field, this election: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was bad and will become worse. Oh... people will vote Ray. People will most definitely vote.

Now that they've made their millions in White-dominated industries, anti-White racists like Jones are sure coming out of the closet in droves. I guess they figure it's "safe," now that a half-Black half-White man, elected by a large margin of Whites, is President.

Jones's grandma taught him well. I suspect she represents the majority opinion among American Blacks. If you're White it doesn't seem possible to have a policy or opinion difference with most Blacks. They've been so indoctrinated with racial hatred they see any and all disagreements as racism. At least the Obama Presidency has made that fact very clear, and Whites fail to recognize it at their own peril.

Booker T Washington wrote about it over a hundred years ago:

“There is a class
of colored people
who make a business
of keeping the troubles,
the wrongs and the
hardships of the Negro race
before the public.

Some of these people
do not want the Negro
to lose his grievances
because they do not want
to lose their jobs.

There is a certain class
of race-problem solvers
who don’t want the patient
to get well.”

This is satire, right?

Cornel West and James Earl Jones are yanking your chain.

They know perfectly well that there are an uncommonly high percentage of people in the T.E.A. party constituency who can trace ancestry to Africa, and yes, slave status, yet have come to regard the ideals of America to be so much better than any other society on earth.

The term “yeoman” comes to mind. The T.E.A. party members are the yeomen of America, now transposed to the 21st Century.

But there is still heavy prejudice AGAINST the people who claim rural backgrounds, the “hicks”, the “rednecks” the “crackers”, or the “hillbillies”, as somehow inferior people, as contrasted to the smooth, even slick, metros who are worldly sophiticates and ultimately unbearable snobs.

As if toil and honesty were not admirable characteristics.

Damn. That is so well-thought out, so well-said - it makes you wonder why the guy avoided lyrics and did so many instrumentals.

In a perfect world, all of the accolades and tributes that are heaped upon Martin Luther King would go to Booker T Washington instead.
