Itz News to Me

…not because of the color of their skin….

The next time someone decides to spout off about how our justice system is so horribly unfair to blacks as evidenced by the fact that they constitute such a high percentage of our prison population, point them to this editorial (replete with facts and everything) and tell them to have a nice big plate of “Shut your pie hole, you race-baiting jerk.”

…so says David Lightman of McClatchy Newspapers….

Never mind that Obama is a neo-Marxist…

Never mind that Obama thinks that I’m a bitter, gun-loving, Jesus-nut too stupid to figure out things for myself…

Never mind that Obama wouldn’t even be a U.S. senator were it not for the fact that he was the last man standing after scandal eliminated a rival that would have easily dusted him in an actual election…

Never mind that he doesn’t have a single legislative accomplishment to show for his time in the U.S. Senate….

Never mind that he can’t bring himself to actually denounce the idea that the U.S. brought 9/11 on itself or that the government created AIDS to kill colored people…(He only denounced what he called “controversial statements.” He never specified which statements. His lawerly parsing wasn’t an accident.)

Never mind that he thinks I am gullible enough to believe he belonged to a church for twenty years and had no idea what they stood for…

Never mind that he thinks it’s OK to hold fundraisers at the home of an admitted domestic terrorist…

Never mind that he’s involved in corrupt land deals with enemy agents and political fixers….

Never mind that he thinks people who wear flag pins are false patriots…

Never mind that his wife is a bigot of the first order…

Never mind that his first instinct, when he got in political trouble, was to throw the grandmother who loved and raised him under the bus…

Never mind that he is unable to make the distinction between having a difference of opinion and planting a bomb…

Never mind that he is the favorite candidate of Hamas and the Iranian regime…

I haven’t even gotten to the color of his skin because I could care less. Unlike Obama and Lightman, I judge people on the content of their character. I have seen Obama’s character and found it sadly lacking.

I could go on for pages, but why should I? After all, according to both Obama and David Lightman, the only reason I wouldn’t vote for him is because I’m clinging to my fear and dislike for “people who don’t look like me.”

Too bad neither of them would ever have the courage to say it to my face.

I am sick to death of hearing demands for apologies for slavery. The Queen was just in the area today, and the local news made a point of mentioning that she didn’t apologize for slavery “as some hoped she would.” What a crock.

Is slavery abhorrent? Of course it is. But it’s not a creation of the “white man.” The earliest civilizations had slaves, and it was commonplace around the world…until the “white man” outlawed it…

Those in the African-American community who would demand such apologies only put on display either a) a willful ignorance of history, or b) shameless racism, or c) both. Pretending that the “white people” invented slavery or were the only practitioners of it is downright dishonest, and I’m sick and tired of putting up with it.

Lest we forget, when the Europeans landed on African shores they didn’t come there looking for slaves. It was the natives who approached Europeans asking them if they wanted to buy the slaves they had already captured and were either using themselves or selling to other tribes. Was it wrong for them to buy the slaves? Absolutely….but in any other circumstance who do we blame: the dealer or the user? That’s right…the blame belongs to the dealer. So when will the real slave traders be asked to apologize?

So when these race-baiting, victimologists go to Africa and start demanding apologies from the tribes who sold the slaves inthe first place, then I’ll take their demands seriously. Until then, there’s no way to look at it as anything other than yet another attempt at racial intimidation.

Enough’s enough….
