It seems funny to me how we keep seeing more and more black and brown people on Fox News claiming to be republicans. I can't believe the level racism has reached in this country. Black and Brown racists, it's shocking. How are we supposed to come together in this country if we keep growing the population of black and brown people who hate black and brown people. I mean that is how it works, right. Janeane Garofalo told us that this was racism straight up, right. We heard over and over that if we didn't like Barack Obama we were racists. I guess it's only a matter of time now until we see black and brown on black and brown riots in the streets of America when the black and brown people who hate black and brown people rise up and beat the lowly black and brown people down.
This is of course me being as sarcastic as I can possibly be. But put this into perspective. It's impossible to believe that all non-white people think Barack Obama is the greatest man ever, obviously there are those who will stand for their beliefs and speak out, no matter the color of a persons skin. That's what Martin Luther King Jr. wanted, right? Are these not his words?
"I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality."
Didn't Martin Luther King Jr. want his people, all people to stand up for what they believe in? Do you think he wanted black people to vote for a black man simply because he's black? Is that what he meant by, "a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character"?
Also please pay special note to the part of that quote that everyone seems to overlook and flat ignore, "OR ANY OTHER DISTINCTIONS". How do you suppose Martin Luther King Jr. would feel about us running around today calling each other, African American, Italian American or German-Mexican American. Is this not a distinction that emphasizes the fact that we are racially different from one another. Think about this the next time some Liberal tells you that Tea Parties and Republicans are just racist groups.
Cheers,

You're dealing with other people's perceptions.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that all republicans are racist, hillbillies, (insert more labels here), it's more like that it seems that ALL racists, hillbillies, etc ARE Republicans.
There really is a distinction. I actually have not heard or seen people claiming that ALL republicans are that way. There are people in every political party from all walks of life.
As far as the Tea Parties are concerned, i never could understand what they thought they could acomplish with those. Instead of bitching about trying to fix the economy by shock of all shocks, SPENDING MONEY. They should have been offering up ALTERNATIVE methods. I'm sure people would have taken them more seriously that way.
They were giving an alternative. STOP SPENDING THE MONEY!!! It's really that simple.
