Chris Rock said it.
When Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the fellow best known for the infamous Beer Summit at the White House, also known for his PBS show "Finding Your Roots," told Mr. Rock that he had a bunch of American Indian and Scotch Irish blood in him, he reacted with that very defensive, and somewhat hostile and emotional response.
Of course, no one may really dictate how a person defines himself. One gets to name himself, or change his name, call himself an African-American, a White-American (Mulatto), Caucasian, etc. Who are we to make such a determination? In America you can do what you want.
It is interesting that nearly a quarter of African-Americans have Native American blood in them; and about another fifty percent have a humongous amount of Caucasian in them. President Obama's one of them. Most of these folks consider themselves black...or African-American and having grown up in a predominately black community explains that identity choice.
The distinct pathology of the reaction to George Zimmerman's acquittal is a lot like the one drop and you're black remark. It makes no sense. An entire community of people who are so unreasonable, so out there that they can't think straight and thus, continue to challenge the status quo race relations in this country, which really aren't so bad these days when we consider the huge strides made in the last forty years. Good grief, we have a black president!
I can't help but think that regardless of the current occupant of the White House, there's really nothing that people can do to satisfy this particular group of people. The outlandishness of this protesting class is so sick, so off kilter, so counter intuitive, ridiculously unreasonable and illogical, that no one with a legalistic, sane mind can deal with them. They're the reason laws are written and enacted. They operate on dangerous emotion and negative energy and hero worship of black bosses who are exploiting the more stupid among them. It is an evil attempt to thwart rule of law. The protesters are psychically overwrought and whipped up by a corrupt and lawless Justice Department, an Executive Branch of the Federal Government and the local County Attorney, as well as disingenuous politicians who are also pressured by the president and the Justice Department.
Even liberal-minded Alan Dershowitz, who if he were dead, would be rolling over in his grave knowing that the Zimmerman case has nothing to do with race and profiling under the law.
Nevertheless, ideologues in the mainstream media who are motivated by and operate from white guilt are undergirding this insane and fantastical, pathological myth about the facts in the case. (And then there are the lawyers-turned-commentators like Nancy Grace who is obnoxious and disgraceful in her anti-Zimmerman zeal.) It's the old two plus two equals five distraction and distortion of the Left.
Meanwhile, again. Nothing works; nothing pleases them; and nothing will ever change.How can they be part of the conversation when they can't talk--or even think straight!
Having the first black president wasn't even enough. Nothing ever is. They need to be ignored.
Thanks for the read.
