We need to countercharge when we are accused of racism.
I suggest using the following:
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Straight out of their playbook...
Anti-racism’s only meaning in today’s vernacular is anti-white, these race card hustlers are nothing but proto-nazis of a different color.
He has yet to do that. He tepidly has made comments that can be spun as doing this but his responses have been so weak as to be almost meaningless.
That 0 does not do come out and publicly rebuke the race baiters indicates he not only condones the accusation, he is in fact encouraging the accusers to keep making the blatantly fraudulent accusation.
I had someone charge “racism” to me recently (and they were white) and I started laughing and said, “Really. Is that the best you can do? You can’t debate me on the merits of my argument so are you really going to start calling me a racist?” Caught them completely off guard.
Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.

A story:
Back in the late sixties, I worked in the inner city of Baltimore, where the Black Panthers, and other groups promoting “black is beautiful” were very active.
One day, stopped at a traffic light, a middle-school-aged boy started to cross the street in front of my car, changed direction and came to my window and yelled “honky, honky, honky.” My immediate reaction was to laugh at him.
I have often wondered what he made of that reaction. He must have thought he was using the equivalent of the “n” word. I wonder if he realized that calling someone ‘honky’ was not a weapon at all. No name is, unless we allow it to be hurtful.
But the king has no clothes.
(No intellect, either.)
THAT’s why the Obamaloon is hiding his school records.
He’s nature’s most perfect vacuum.
Sounds good. I suppose it will turn up in the library in 2012!
You had the PERFECT RESPONSE to such a stupid insult.
They cannot win on the merits of the arguement so they have to attack.
Remember the Clintons and the politics of personal destruction...
Clinton was an advocate of Saul Alinsky as are all radicals today.
Why am I NOT surprised?
Awesome riposte to claims of racism!
riposte |riˈpōst|
noun
1 a quick clever reply to an insult or criticism.
2 Fencing a quick return thrust following a parry.
“Racist!” supersedes the real problem of class.
Yes, it does, and this is a fairly important point. The distribution of poverty among black citizens was very different a half-century ago from what we see today and the mapping of race to economic class, although not entirely valid, was far more valid than it now is. The black middle class has solidified and the argument has had to devolve, in classic Marxist fashion, from poverty/economics as a class identifier to other forms of oppression - "disparate impact" for example. That's harder to prove to be sure but proof is not important; the accusation is sufficient.
This accounts for the viciousness with which middle-class blacks who do vote class interest over race, are marginalized, cursed as race traitors, intimidated, silenced. Ironically this is done most enthusiastically by tenured professors and activists in thousand-dollar suits who derive their political legitimacy not from protecting black people, but (ostensibly) from protecting poor people. If that mapping fails, their influence fades.
In short, there is an inverse relationship between noise and substance on the issue. There is yet another class relationship going on here: between an influential elite that considers itself the rightful proprietors over progressivism and the rest of us who are to be (1) led, (2) "educated", (3) silenced, and (4) milked for all we're worth. That's the class relationship the phony screams of "racism!" are protecting.
"used subliminal imagery to scare us"
They liked finding the Da Vinci Code in the McCain "fame" ad.
But it revealed more about the fantasies of a liberal New York Times writer.
Not to be outdone by the McCain camp,
they enlisted the president of France in reviving the legend
and adding some more subliminal symbolism.
Why am I NOT surprised?
Several years ago, a black acquaintance of mine was absolutely insistant that all of the southern governors who had fought school integration through the 1950s and 60s were evil Republicans. They just had to be.
He was completely amazed to find that they were, in fact, all Democrats and that it was a Republican president who sent in federal troops to enforce court-ordered desegregation.
The Dems love hiding these policies and statist expansionism
behind this accusation.It's an attempt to end and silence debate.
That's why he was picked and groomed for this role by his handlers
and puppetmasters. They can try to ram through these outrageous policies
of socialized medicine, population control, and Fabian Socialism
while claiming ANY opponents who speak out against it are racists.
Has anyone taken the time to point out that Obama's executive order
for U.S. tax dollars to fund abortions and global population control abroad
in Third World countries will target predominantly non-white populations?
What would have been the reaction if Bush had been the front man
for such a Malthusian policy?
He was completely amazed to find that they were, in fact, all Democrats and that it was a Republican president who sent in federal troops to enforce court-ordered desegregation.
As you noticed, control of the MSM has it's advantages - keeping the lid on truth is one of them. Blacks in congress didn't know Byrd was a member of the KKK until just a few years ago...
