Guest Blogger Thursday
September 17th, 2009
Although it was initially meant to be Guest Blogger Sunday, but you don’t turn 30 every weekend.
Friends, it is my pleasure to introduce Cliff, aka Another Black Conservative (although I think a good number of you may well know of him already).
I realize that I posted on village idiot Carter yesterday, but I thought that you’d appreciate reading Cliff’s take on the matter: amongst the rest of the goodness, he makes one especially salient point towards the end of the piece, something that I’d not thought of until reading it at his site and which, unfortunately, is all too easily imaginable if things continue to go the way that they’re heading.
Cliff, thank you for the guest blogger logo, it looks great. Wonderful way to give a person (me) delusions of grandeur, too.
Rep. Hank Johnson and Jimmy Carter join the Raaaaacism Industrial Complex
First up we have House Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), who sees Klans men riding in the night if Rep. Joe Wilson isn’t rebuked.
Next we have ex president Jimmy Carter, who thinks that the main reason people oppose Obama is because he is black.
While it is all to easy to lampoon mental midgets like Johnson and Carter for their manufactured charges of racism, it is time to start taking these race card dealers seriously. These race card dealers’ actions, be they intentional (may God curse them) or unintentional, have two very serious consequences for America.
The first consequence is obvious, a clash of the races. On one side you have black people. Many who readily buy into these bogus charges of racism because them have been fed a steady diet of racial distrust from the left. On the other side you have white people. Many who are getting more than just a little fed up with being called racist by the left, simply because they hold a different view from Obama. Sooner or later these opposing views are going to meet and something very ugly will result.
The second consequence is that it will be a very long time before we have another black as president. If a white person opposing a black president’s policies makes them a racist, then many white people will simply choose to avoid that label by not voting for any more black presidents in the future.
If we do not want to see race relations in America set back 50 years, then we should all start taking a sterner hand to race card dealers like Johnson, Carter, Dowd and Garofalo.
My personal view of racism is that there is still too much in the world. To make up charges of racism just to score political points is nothing less than pure evil. That is how I would label all these racial hucksters and treat them accordingly.
