People of color are, this very day, being led to believe that it’s alright for people of color to describe their past or their future in terms that elevate them above whites. They use terms like “a wise latino woman could make a better decision than a white male”, and label them, simply, “rhetorical flourish”.
Do you remember the rhetorical comments from the DNA scientist a couple of years ago?
James Watson, a Nobel Prize winning scientist said he is "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because, "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really."
While Scientist Watson had to apologize, Judge Sotomayor has been promoted.
It would seem that it depends on who makes the rhetorical flourish, whether or not it will be accepted as just that, rhetorical flourish or a deeply rooted belief.
Scientist Watson made a statement with nothing else about his life to indicate that he harbored any ill-will towards blacks, and was demoralized and forced to apologize. While judge Sotomayor’s statement, on the other hand, was put into action, her actions spoke louder than her words. When she denied equal rights under the law to the white firefighters in Connecticut, simply because they were white, with nothing more than a paragraph to explain her actions, explained who she was and what she stood for.
Whites, be careful, be afraid to say what’s on your minds, keep it all bottled up and contained and let the people of color shake that bottle from time to time and sit back and watch the bubbles fizz and sparkle inside.
People of color, this very day, are using racial quotas to achieve prominent positions for the less qualified, while justifying it with rhetorical racial comments…
…no big deal, right?
America has lost its moral compass, that very thing that demanded that those in the white community change their behavior and beliefs about people of color.
Remember that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
For the opposite reaction to the racism leveled at the black community, we had the likes of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr and many others who mingled somewhere in the middle. But Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X, where two men with very different approaches to the problem of racism in our country. Fortunately, black Americans chose Martin Luther Kings Jr’s “peaceful’ approach instead of the “by any means necessary” approach of Malcolm X.
I wonder which style of leader will wake-up white America to the blatant racism leveled against them…
David Duke – A speaker for white supremacy truth?
or
Rush Limbaugh - A speaker of manifested American truth.
Choose wisely.
