The lucrative business of racism
American Thinker ^ | October 19, 2009 | Bob Weir

This latest imbroglio about Rush Limbaugh being ineligible to buy an NFL franchise, because of a couple of alleged racial comments he made over the span of his many decades on the radio, stands out as one of the phoniest canards ever foisted upon the American public.

The irony behind the spurious charge is that they come from two of the most incendiary provocateurs in the race-baiting business. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who give themselves the ludicrous title of Reverend, have the unmitigated gall to proclaim that Limbaugh is a polarizing figure in the country. This from a couple of race hustlers who have been living large for several decades with no visible means of support except for the "donations" they received from corporations they've threatened with not so subtle methods of extortion. Using their race as a bludgeon, they begin by claiming that a company doesn't have enough blacks on the payroll, therefore they will stage protests and jeopardize the company's profits until it cries uncle and makes sizable "contributions" to the respective bank accounts of some very suspicious "nonprofit" groups. Add to that several instances in which these charlatans have thown gasoline on black - white incidents from coast to coast, and you have a clear picture of actual racism...

That’s because these companies are so gutless. How long can Jackson really keep up a boycott? A week or two? A month? These companies just need to ride is out, and in a short while, Jessie J. will move on to an easier target. He’s a bully, and you just have to treat him that way. Gutlessness seems to be the greatest problem that we have in this country right now.

"That’s because these companies are so gutless."

Hmmm ... let's analyze that ...

Suppose you are Mr. Sears or Mr. Roebuck ... as you look over your careers, would you call yourself gutless?

How about you, Mr. Nationwide? .. Did YOU get here by being gutless?

Mr or Mrs AMWAY?, ....

As I see it, the companies aren't gutless, but the little people ARE.

Whether it's black or queer (they ain't gay, folks), or 'minority' .. it doesn't matter .. one with balls stands up and yells loudly, which in the old days, if that happened, there was usually someone that said "sit down" in enough of a forceful way, that the loudmouth shut up and sat down.

We can't blame everything on the media ... there has to be a citizen that takes it on his or her own to shut the badguys up .... which in the old days of swift justce was a ......

We, the little people can't afford to be non chalant about the things that directly affect our lives.

Both Jackson and Sharpton should have had their asses kicked by an American black man all too many years ago ... we're so far past what could've and should've been done ... we now have a more difficult position.

Did either “Reverend” Al or Jesse not cheat on their wives, repeatedly?

I think beyond peradventure the Sharptons and Jacksons could not have done what they have without the help of monopoly AP journalism. And I think a RICO suit is long overdue.
