The Most Racist People in America
I’m becoming convinced that liberal African Americans are the most racist group in America.
I hate racism – all of it. It’s stupid and wrong, and racists are idiots. Judging someone by the color of their skin or their ethnic background is asinine.
I didn’t even want to write this post figuring we were past the ridiculous mudslinging and accusations (foolish me!), but then Morgan Freeman, whom I like as an actor, popped up with his weak and unoriginal argument that the Tea Party (and by extension, all conservatives) only oppose Barack Obama because he’s black and they’re all racists.
If you missed it, here’s what he said in a recent interview with Piers Morgan:
“Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. What’s, what does that, what underlines that? ‘Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.’”
Further he said, “Well, it just shows the weak, dark, underside of America. We’re supposed to be better than that. We really are. That’s, that’s why all those people were in tears when Obama was elected president. ‘Ah, look at what we are. Look at how, this is America.’ You know? And then it just sort of started turning because these people surfaced like stirring up muddy water.”
Morgan Freeman, you’re being nothing but a racist.
There are a lot of things that bother me about inflamatory garbage such as this, but I’ll focus on the one that bothers me most.
Do you mean to tell me that the only possible reason someone would oppose Obama is because he’s black? It couldn’t be because they disagree with his liberal policies? It couldn’t be his fiscal irresponsibility – how he continues to pile on unbelievable amounts of federal debt with no conscience as to how that’s destroying our economy? Conservatives couldn’t be reacting to his thuggish behavior in forcing through Obamacare using back room deals, bribery or questionable methods once he didn’t have enough votes and the idea was rejected by America?
No, it can only be his race. Nothing else. How stupid!
I wonder what Martin Luther King, Jr. would say to this. He had a dream. Maybe you remember it: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
But liberal blacks won’t allow Obama to be judged on the content of his character … or his policies … or his conduct. No, for them, anyone who denounces the President is only doing so because of race.
If the Tea Party is racist, why do they love Allen West, the Republican from Florida? On this topic, he said, “When individuals believe they are defeated in a political disagreement, they normally resort to race-baiting, which in my opinion is in itself racist.” Amen and amen!
Why does the supposedly racist Tea Party support Herman Cain or J.C. Watts? Why does the Tea Party have the support of Alan Keys, who addresses this very issue here?
The duplicity blows my mind. “TEA” in Tea Party stands for “Taxed Enough Already”. Their core values are defined as “Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets”. They’re a grassroots movement made up of everyone from homemakers to politicians, and are focused on fiscal issues.
Are there racists within the movement? I’m sure there are, just like there are probably racists at your workplace or your church or your local grocery store. But is it the Tea Party focus? No way! They are against Obama, not because he’s black, but because he stands for everything they oppose.
But who keeps bringing up race? It’s liberal blacks like the Congressional Black Caucus and Jesse Jackson and Morgan Freeman.
Liberals love racism. While the rest of the country wants to move on from the ugly past, they’re the ones that don’t want to let go. For them, playing the race card is this moment’s ultimate weapon. They won’t let racism go, because it gives them too much power. It’s inflamatory and they can use it to try to make conservatives look bad.
Maybe I can say it simply this way: If you didn’t vote for Barack Obama because he’s black, then you’re an idiot. If you only voted for Obama simply because he’s black, you’re no better.
If you think only racists oppose Obama, you’re being racist yourself.
