A Long Summer....Requiem for White America

This summer of 2009 has been among the most bigoted in recent memory. I think it started off with inner city kids who wished to use a pool and were denied access because they were children, poor and black. Never a good combination in the US where black children are at risk at serious developmental issues just for being darker in skin tone. I quote what one of these unfortunate children said:

"I heard this lady, she was like, 'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child," (Source - NBC News Philadelphia)

This white backlash was not only against African Americans. Oh no, it wouldn't be fun unless the Hispanics of the US who are viewed as the Germanic Tribes against a New Rome were also targeted in this race war. President Obama wished to add Sotomayor to the Supreme Court and backlash was not founded upon her ability, just the fact she was hispanic! Granted, her choice of language when describing the situation of minorities was terrible yet she was trying to say that a minority would be more empathetic in a case towards a fellow minority than a WASP. This is fact. However, Republicans under Gingrich call her a racist for alluding to the fact that white people are sometimes racist. They certaintly weren't racist when they shot a black man execution style in a subway in California, or during Rodney King or even when they lynched black people for 'crimes' they committed against the pure virginal White women of Dixie.

The reason why some top Republicans are labelling Obama's associates racists is merely to alienate Obama from white voters. The overwhemingly middle class voters who brought him to victory last year. It's working too. His poll numbers are dropping and have been dropping since May, which is when this fracas over Sotomayor began. Calling Obama a terrorist-Muslim/Marxist who also happens to be a socialist didn't work. Did I mention they tried to call him a crypto-Arab though his ancestors are Luo (a Nilotic tribe in Kenya) and French-Irish? Strange. The whole Republic strategy is aided when Glenn Beck calls him a "racist". This word is thrown around too much.

I'm going to define racism. Racism is:

1. A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. A policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. A hatred or intolerance of another race or other races

Obama is so racist he has a rainbow coalition in his cabinet...or maybe he's so wily that he's hiding it from everyone. That explains that Rev. Wright business! Sadly, I don't have time to venture into Black Nationalism today, it's a hard concept to swallow and so is Obama being a racist. Now, wandering into the wilderness which is the Henry Louis Gates Jr. debacle. I must say, I liked his programs on PBS but the whole situation between him, Officer Crowley who arrested him and Obama is blown way out of proportion. It was race-profiling but it's only significant because Gates is a bourgeoise black man. If he and Obama didn't share that trait, no one would know. Race profiling happens every day for various reasons. Whites towards inability to dance and utter lack of 'cool'. Asians with academic achievements and a desire for economic conquest via the People's Republic of China. Finally, Blacks regarding athletics and crime. Did Gates jr create a crime? No. But he made all black people realize they're at risk for racial profiling and that has every rich black person indignant. They should be. They don't need to know that Lil Wayne's new minstrel song "Whip It Like a Slave" applies to them too.

One would think in a normal nation, the classes are based on wealth. In the US, they are of course but race is a sinister thing which no one can escape. It's a social construct which seems to trap millions in relative poverty to the rest. Fear not, White America is ending and it will end by around 2050 as minority groups reach 50% of the population. Demography is the future, no one can change that.
