Who’s the Racist?

Wow, Janeane Garofalo really put me in my place. Man, so glad she’s here to point me in the right direction. I just have one question for her, why did I find myself not going along with all the liberal muckity mucks before Obama? I mean, she really set me straight that the only reason I think that mortgaging my country to the hilt with debt, closing Guantanamo Bay, apologizing to the world for the United States being so horrible low these past two hundred years is because I’m a racist.

It isn’t political or ideological differences, it’s simply racism. I feel better; I really do, now that I have that explained. What about all the white men and women other than Barack? What about the Clinton’s the Gore’s, heck even the Carter’s, my gosh I’ve been mistrusting liberals since George McGovern, what was my excuse for that?

I’m going to let you in on a little secret when it comes to racism. People like Janeane Garofalo are themselves racists. You see, she doesn’t see a man with a different ideological point of view when she looks at Barack Obama. No, she sees a black man. Her elitist white guilt has shown her that if she disagrees with him, she is disagreeing with a black man, not simply a man. I don’t see Barack Obama as being black or white. He has a point of view that I find detrimental to my country. I felt the same way about John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Michael Dukakis, Jimmy Carter, George McGovern, you get the picture.

I want to ask Ms. Garofalo if she will find all the things Michael Steele has to say intriguing and not worth debate? If not, is it because he’s black? What about Condoleezza Rice? Was she always on the money? There I contend that not only is Ms. Garofalo a racist, but a sexist as well. Yes I find it interesting when liberals cry “racism.” This from a group of people who have a former grand dragon of the KKK at the top of their party. Whose forbearers such as senator’s Fulbright and Gore Sr. did their utmost to block the civil rights act of 1964. Who reveled in the term “separate but equal.”

Yes, liberal cries of racism have a long standing tradition of being one sided. I know, when a conservative doesn’t like something a person does and they happen to be of color, it’s because of racism. When a liberal doesn’t like something it’s because they know what’s best for “those people” anyway. So if it looks like racism it really isn’t. It’s just elitist white people looking out for the interests of people who are incapable of looking out for themselves. After all I’ve never heard a white liberal espouse the belief that white children should be given extra points on their SAT’s because of inferior education.

I hear no cry that children other than Hispanic (so called bilingual education) and Black children (Ebonic speak) should be given lessons in their own languages.

When my wife, Puerto Rican by heritage American by choice, was in the second grade in Bushwick Brooklyn her mother was told that she (my wife) would be taught in Spanish based on her surname. My mother in law was incensed. She felt, and rightfully so, that in the long run what these well meaning liberals were doing was going to hurt her daughter. If she didn’t speak English as a primary language how could she be expected to compete in the world when she was an adult? While my wife did learn to speak Spanish, it was never her primary language, her mother made sure of that.

This is America. People here, especially in the business community, speak English. It does no one any good to think otherwise. Well meaning liberals like Ms. Garofalo think differently. George Bush called it the “soft bigotry of low expectation.” It is truly what the liberals think of minorities, especially blacks and Hispanics.

Why not let them speak Spanish or ebonically, they’ll feel so much better about themselves. They shouldn’t be forced to learn in the oppressive white tongue. After all, what difference could it possibly make, right?

I think it makes a difference, a big one. I expect nothing less from any American regardless of skin color or ethnic background. I truly think we’re all equal until you get to that great inner city educational system that liberals have been running for how many years now? If you want to see what liberals like Ms. Garofalo really think of minorities just look at urban public school systems. The kids can’t read and write in English, but man they feel good about themselves.

I think the fact of the matter is that liberals just don’t expect that much from them. If you don’t think a minority can “handle” learning in English, how do you think they can ever have a future viable in anything other than flipping burgers?

In inner city public school systems liberals, who have been running them for the past seventy years, are more concerned with making the children who go to school there feel good about themselves than they are about truly educating them. I will go as far as to say that the elitist (white) liberal media is so pervasive in its racist beliefs that you should expect less from a minority that they are doing this to Barack Obama. You will not see them attack him when he makes mistakes not simply because he’s a liberal like them, but also because he’s black and they don’t want him to feel bad about himself. To a person they will say, if only to themselves, at least he’s trying, or he’s doing his best.

They won’t even treat him as harshly as they did Bill Clinton. Heck, he was from the south, which many elitist white media types from the north see as being almost a limiting as being black. They just won’t hold Obama to the same standard they would were he white. That’s a shame, and it’s also the definition of racism.

I contend that, as a conservative, I feel no differently about Obama than I did about Clinton, Kerry, Gore, Carter or the myriad of other white liberals who were bent on the destruction of America as we know it. I am no more disappointed in Obama going to Mexico and blaming America for their troubles than I was with Carter playing nice nice with the PLO.

Ms. Garofalo, Mr. Obberman put your racism aside. I plead with you to see black people in the same light you see white people and hold him to the same standard you would anyone else. It’s ok guys, he’s a grown MAN, he can take it.

Well, now you’ve done it. You managed to find a picture more revolting than Helen Thomas.

Golly, I used to think she was kinda’ cute, but that mug shot makes her look uglier than Michelle Whatshername in the White House. What is it about these libtarts that so many of them are skunk-fug ugly? Was God showing his sense of humor?

-Guaranteeing slave wages for illegal immigrants, rather than providing the means to assimilate into American society is far more racist than pretending to “respect their culture”.

To be fair, the Democrat Party was split over this issue. A considerable majority voted for the act. Senate 69%, House 63%.
