I have listened to the Rush Limbaugh show for years and understand that he is a tough cookie when it comes to those who fail to follow the Conservative platform. I have listen to him go after both Democrat and Republican with equal zeal when they failed to follow common sense rules of governing. But what I’ve never heard, is Rush say anything about any person or group of people, that was not true. And more to the point, I’ve never heard Rush Limbaugh say anything racist about a black person.
But here was a chance to for some to make the media spotlight, when it was found out that Rush Limbaugh was about to take part ownership in a football team, somebody encouraged someone to say something about nothing…
…and off to the races went the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, an exclusive black club of so-called leaders who claim their mission in life is to ride the world of racism, when in all actuality, they have done more to damage the black / white relationship than any has in modern times.
After the death of Martin Luther King Jr. and the pain and hurt that followed began to subside, America had an opportunity to put black and white racism in a bottle and cast it out to see, if only some brave soul with a Dream similar to that of Dr. King had come along.
However, that was not the case.
Men with self-serving purpose rose out of the ashes of the Civil Rights fallen dead, and used the word RACIST, to intimidate and manipulate there way into money and power.
No doubt giving a morsel back to the community out of which they came, like a man would his bones, giving what’s left out of the meat of their profits. All the while continually convincing others that, whites once held their ancestors as slaves and are, and always will be, the fault and purpose for whatever bad happens to them in their life.
These protectors against the racist have learned to work within system; they have learned the use of that, perfect word, to express themselves and their point of view, scouring the dictionary in order to find the right word to call a rose, by any other name. Avoiding, when convenient, snaring themselves with their own tactics. And should they find themselves trapped, out comes the trump card, RACIST. Whoever dared contradict, enlighten, or point-out their flaws, they pull the trump card, time and again.
In a world where casting a stone means you might shatter your own house, we have become afraid to point out the flaws of others, no matter how grievous the others might be.
If only there where evil people somewhere,
insidiously committing evil deeds,
and it where necessary only to separate them
from the rest of us and destroy them.
But the line dividing good and evil
cut through the Heart of every human being.
And who is willing to destroy
a piece of his own heart?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In a nation of glass houses, the black race card and those who Bank on it, are the worse sort of people. What they say to those who fought the fight, when there was a true fight to be fought…
…is thank you for the Club to which I belong…
…and which I will use to beat back, all you died for.
What you did to Rush Limbaugh was wrong and how you did it, was shameful.
