Where did I heard that kind of reasoning before…hmmmm…Jim Crow anyone?
Aww, I feel your pain. Non dark skinned people and straight people & Christians are and always will be the real victims of "racism,"and bigotry just as slavery, Jim Crow & racism are still being forced on the oppressed majority. Thanks for the oddball laughs, dude. Each time a minority asks for equal treatment what they’re really asking for are fighting your rights to supremacy so of course you have to attempt to ridicule it as being equal is the real threat to fraudulent supremacy. Good one, Jim Crow Jr supporter!! We hear you. Sad.
Thanks for sharing your personal thoughts and feelings with me Morgan. Plenty of simply awful things get said in the news and often they are noticed and called out, but sometimes I hear and notice stuff said by old white guys, as an old white guy myself, and think “are you f*cking kidding me?” One recent example was I heard some right wing commentators piling on Oprah’s comment that was something like "well for some of this stuff to go away, these people who think like this are just going to have to die.’
Now anyone is smart enough to notice that Oprah is kind of forgiving old white guys for being racists and essentially giving them a free pass to continue telling n*gger jokes and calling the president an uppity boy until their comfortable deaths by natural causes and long stints drawing government cash benefits. I think myself that Oprah is close to full on racism herself there by setting such a low bar of expectation of positive social change with this still sizable US demographic cohort.
But isn’t it crazy that with full conscience and straight faces some widely respected and liked right wing news people got genuinely outraged about the fact that Oprah had even disclosed that racist white people won’t live forever and it’s likely the newly born people won’t have as many racist ideas and beliefs? Its like if Oprah were to have got Lance Armstrong in the interview chair and instead of giving him the already fairly soft ball treatment she did, had he say confessed to being a card carrying KKK member, she’d instead of making him talk about ANY uncomfortable transgressions or coaxed his confession she shortened the interview and said: Oh you’re KKK? Well that changes everything. We disagree, but lets leave well enough alone shall we and have a nice life you sweet cute man. No one made any deal out of that that I saw-wow.
Another recent one was when Rudy Guliani, on a nationally televised panel interview told a black college professor something like "cops wouldn’t have to go into those awful black neighborhoods where they often kill unarmed black youths if “you” (I think he actually did say “you” to the perfectly calm and educated black man he was talking to) would stop killing each other. My jaw dropped but nary a word was spoken about the fact that he had used the second person “you” meaning the one black man sitting in the chair he was looking at as synonymous with “all black murderers.”
