The so-called 'war on whites' is a fight the GOP can't win [Commentary]
Baltimore Sun ^ | 8-10-2014 | Leonard Pitts Jr.

Posted on 08/10/2014 7:26:18 AM PDT by Citizen Zed

At this point, you really have to wonder: Is it still news when a Republican says something asinine?

On the off chance it is, let us spend a few moments pondering the strange case of Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, who said last week that the Democratic Party is waging a "War on Whites."

Yeah, he actually said that. You can look it up if you want.

Mr. Brooks was responding to radio talk show host Laura Ingraham, who had asked him to comment on a remark from National Journal columnist Ron Fournier to the effect that the GOP cannot continue to be competitive in national elections if it continues to alienate voters of color. This is a truth so self-evident as to have been adopted by the GOP itself in its "autopsy" report after the 2012 election.

Yet here is what Mr. Brooks said in response: "This is a part of the war on whites that is being launched by the Democratic Party. And the way in which they're launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else. It's a part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare, all those kinds of things."

"A War on Whites." Yet it's President Obama who is guilty of racially inflammatory rhetoric?

And why is it the media sends up such praise any time population or student enrollments indicate that white people are now in the minority?

What should it matter?

War on “Whites” indeed.

The Left’s lust for power is sociopathic.

>> What we do know for sure, it isn't when a Democrat says something asinine.

Right.

The entire purpose of the Democratic Party since its inception has been to keep minorities, primarily blacks, poor, ignorant and subservient to them. Their methods change - slavery, then Jim Crow, now dependence on government - but the end is always the same.

‘And tokens like you are living proof’

Barely literate tokens!

Just like the affirmative action POTUS. Barely smart enough to get into Oxidental College much less Columbia and Harvard Law, yet there he was being pushed through by 1980’s affirmative action policies only to lose his Law License by misfeasance.

No worries, only white professionals are held responsible for their poor choices, Minorities are always found secure perches at Universities and NGO’s to featherbed between elected offices.

“I want to be happy and succesful on my own terms and I know that is what all of us as Americans want for each other.”

Faulty premise.

Black and Latrino communities are parasitic GibsMeDat “Takers” to an extent most of America’s productive “Maker” classes has not yet realized.

“I don’t whip people” said the Minority Whip who has on his bumper two sticker, “Have you flogged your crew today” and “The floggings will continue until morale improves”.

Pitts and the NAACP own the racial grievance industry, and won’t tolerate anyone poaching their plunder.

It’s something that should’ve been said a LONG time ago

Look at how the MSM defines “racism” “sexism” Always a one way street.

Code names for discriminatory acts against whites and males “affirmative action” and “diversity” They can’t even be honest about what they really are

The Demonrats pander to minorities. The only whites they care about are the ones dumb enough to vote and/or give money

If they really cared about fairness, they’d substitute competence, work, and merit for their PC mangled vocabulary.

That Page and Pitts both speak out about it confirms both are still firmly planted on The Plantation

The problem with “war on whites” as a meme is that it leaves Asians on the Democrat side and that is guaranteed defeat, given the huge share of Asians in the rising generations of elites and the fact that politics everywhere and always is persuading a majority among the elite who propagandize a majority of the masses to follow.

I happen to believe that what may save America is the splitting off of two parties into four.

Think about it. The Dems think they will be able to be the masters of Hispanics. What if they are terribly wrong, and La Raza becomes its own party?

The e-GOP think they can coast forever on the largesse of the Chamber (who I believe are stealth Democrats) and Zuckerberg (a clear progressive).

What if the fourth party is the Constitutional Conservative?

OK, so let's say the obvious first. There's something surreal and absurd about this lecture, coming as it does from a member of the party that invented the Southern strategy and birtherism and whose voters were last seen standing at the border screaming at terrified Guatemalan kids.

There's something surreal and absurd about this lecturer, studiously avoiding his party's history - particularly when it supported Slavery and birthed the KKK.

Racist louse!
