White Conservatives’ Minstrel Tradition (Their Title!)
The Afro ^ | November 11, 2015 | Lee A. Daniels

Posted on 11/18/2015 9:28:40 AM PST by YourAdHere

Ben Carson is in serious political trouble, as his wacky and right-wing views on numerous issues draw more scrutiny and critical pieces of the “inspirational” back story he’s been telling for years get exposed as “fabrications.”

A looming question now is what more of the political games of truth and consequences regarding Ben Carson is yet to be played. Nonetheless, it’s still worth exploring why Carson’s near lily-White base of supporters have found him so appealing.

Conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg offers a partial – and revealing – answer why in a recent column praising the now retired neurosurgeon.

I love the use of the term "lilly white." So professional.

If he’s in serious political trouble, why was it necessary to write this hit piece? Just let him slide into oblivion.

“Carson’s near lily-White base of supporters”

I suppose Lee A. Daniels prefers candidates with a “near soot-Black base of supporters”?

This whole article is an obfuscation of Truth. The fact is-—Blacks are human beings and as such are “good” or “evil”.

Their worldview is crucial-—either you are Rational (a Christian/Agnostic/Deist) or you are an irrational Postmodernist where everything is arbitrary and there is no Good and Evil or “justice” possible.

So-—if Blacks have a Marxist, Malthusian, satanic worldview like Obama-—they are vile, inhumane, evil people who want to rule and control (and even kill/abortion) other human beings.

Only Christians created the Age of Reason and the unique American “Justice” System. Theirs is the ONLY religion which found slavery and pederasty and homosexuality “immoral”. They created a government based on Objective Truth (God) and Natural Law Theory (God is the supreme Lawgiver).

So-—it is NEVER color that matters——it is Worldview that matters!!!! Some (Marxists/socialists/progressives/satanists/islamists) want us to be slaves to elites. And true Christians want Individual Natural Rights coming from God ONLY-—and a “Justice” system which treats ALL human beings equally under the law.

We now have a “Vice System” which ejects Natural Law and God’s Laws (which is unconstitutional) and some pigs are more equal than others. Justice Holmes destroyed our “Justice” (virtue) System (destroyed meaning of Words) and inserted a “Vice System” with the “twisting” of the meaning of words so now Evil is actually “Good”. (LOL)

Right Reason has been replaced with the irrational-—concepts of the Postmodernists, sodomites, Marxists—all worldview which is unequal and embraces slavery and the most vile behaviors on the face of the earth.

Montesquieu stated that all Free Republics promote “public virtue” at all times. We have flipped Good and Evil and erased the Constitution and Christianity for Marxism, Humanism, Naturalism-—all the vile worldview that eliminates individualism for the collective killing off of the useless eaters. Total dehumanization.

Wow what an ugly article. Filled with so much venom there’s enough for everyone.

If Ann Coulter & Jonah Goldberg made the comments attributed to them I am surprised at least at Coulter. I can picture her saying it as a sly dig at liberals but not as a serious statement. It is well past time for us to divest ourselves as a Nation from affirmative action, and evaluations on the basis of color, sex or sexual preference. We would serve the people of America better by providing opportunities for all Americans rather than making protected classes and crippling them in the process.

The original source of J Goldberg’s comments isn’t linked by the author, however Jonah Goldberg’s premise as stated by the author, is flawed and is not conservative in the least although it is used to whip conservatism. That is after all the point of the article.

Sadly for the author, the only person he shone an uncomplimentary light on was himself. The chip on his shoulder and his bigotry was in full view.

It was not white. We used white to draw ghosts. This guy is ignorant.

It's pretty much useless to try and argue with people like Daniels. People like him are firmly convinced that after fifty years of affirmative discrimination uh action and other unconstitutional rewards for being black, America is still a horrible, racist country.

He talks about a "Reign Of Terror" committed against blacks by racist whites. I suppose he means the period of the last one hundred years when about three thousand blacks were lynched by whites. The number of blacks murdered every year by other blacks is double that amount.

And Daniels cannot offer a valid reason why blacks (or anybody else) should ignore conservative admonitions to work hard and rely on gov. aid as little as possible. It defies understanding why someone like Carson is evil because he tells black people to work hard and not rely on government. Daniels is just another clueless lib.

Goldberg did make those comments, and he made them in response to complaints by some liberals that CARSON is not sufficiently black. That is the context of Goldberg’s comments. And - in the original article - Goldberg quoted black and white liberals who had made the same point that Obama is not truly representative or typical of the American black experience, but is somewhat of an anomaly.

"He talks about a "Reign Of Terror" committed against blacks by racist whites. I suppose he means the period of the last one hundred years when about three thousand blacks were lynched by whites."

According to the database at Tuskegee Institute, 40 blacks were lynched between 1940 and 1968. The vast majority of lynchings occurred before WWI.

The author totally misrepresents Goldberg’s argument. Goldberg never said that Carson was more authentic than Obama because he was a conservative, but because he had two black parents, was poor, and grew up in a black, urban, American environment. Obama had one white parent, was not poor, and grew up in Hawaii and (briefly) Africa.

While I don’t approve of lynching, what is also missed is that the great majority of those lynched were probably quite guilty of their crimes. That goes for the thousand non-blacks who were also lynched during that time.

Another rarely-mentioned stat is that about 26% of lynching victims were white.
