RACISM. The Great Contrast

The mainstream media claims that ANY racism isn't tolerated.

WHAT?
WHAT?

I think they are telling a little white lie; which, in my book, is just as bad as a Big Black Lie.

For the record, I am ANTI-racism.

First, I'd like to address Imus vs. Toettcher

It hasn't been that long ago that Don Imus was harassed; yes, I said harassed. Al Sharpton, whom I consider to be a racist, pubicly stated that he would put pressure on CBS to fire Imus for comments he made.

Fast forward to April 2010: Fred Toettcher makes a reference to Tebow's draft party: “it looked like some kind of Nazi rally. . . . So lily-white is what I’m trying to say. Yeah, Stepford Wives,” No coverage so far from anyone screaming for his resignation.

Imus was BIG NEWS for weeks, with all the mainstream media milking it dry. Let's see if Toettcher issue even gets covered, much less to the personal harassment level as was in the Imus case.

And I'll quote the now famous words of Janeane Garofalo: "This is racism straight up"

The next issue I'd like to address is another item I saw on the news yesterday. Chicago asking for the National Guard to restore order in the city.

Now, if Fred Toettcher wants to look at a group of people and make a broad "categorize" by the color of their skin.....then I think we should be allowed the same privilege. However, I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself or the media might be camped out in your front yard harassing you for racism.

I think much of the problem starts in the home. As I was researching for this post, I came across a website in which the author questions if "white kids" have enough "anti-racist education". Well, I'd like to pose the same question. Do black children have any anti-racist education? Seems they go into the world with a chip on their shoulder and expect the government to give them handouts in reparation for something that happened 200 years ago. They hear about it in their homes and in their churches.

My father passed away when I was only 14 years old, but I remember him mentioning "Soul City". We lived in North Carolina, so it was in newspapers and on the evening news. This was a test community, supported by the government and awarded $14 million in HUD grant money. It began in the early 1970s, and the model was touted as a Eutopia of socialism. Totally self-sustaining with all the infrastructure to maintain the population; housing, parks, schools, police, the whole nine yards. By the late 1970s, there were lawsuits being filed for misuse of funds. If you drive there today, you'll see just how much got accomplished with all the money they were given. Not much. Many projects began, but not much completed. There is not much written on this Eutopia experiment, but have fun with the research. I listened to people grumbling about tax money going to fund an black community when I was young.....


Now, I'm sure I'll be called a racist simply because I mentioned Soul City. Go right ahead. I would be embarrassed too - had I wasted the money that was provided by the government to start a socially progressive city. You had your chance, and wasted it.

TEA PARTY vs. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION SUPPORT rallies

Wow. I must say that I was impressed with the contrast in these groups. Yet the mainstream media has yet to point out the differences.

Allow me, please.

I have attended tea parties, in North Carolina and Washington, DC. They were generally peaceful with occassional loud chants such as "U.S.A." repeated over and over. I noticed people hugging each other, lots of American Flags, high fives, and exchanging of email addresses. They cleaned up behind themselves and respected the property they were on. No riotous or violence whatsoever.

In Arizona, the governor decided to take a bold step to protect the LEGAL citizens against what was proving to be a problem in their state; and one that the federal government was doing nothing to help with.

So, African Americans and Immigrants (many illegal) gather to protest the law. Destruction, Riots, and Violence.

So, the mainstream media focuses on the hostile "brandishing of placards" of the tea party protesters and glorifies the illegal immigrants.

Where am I? I have a feeling I'm not in Kansas any more.
