As far as race-baiter Roland Martin of CNN is concerned, America is guilty
until proven innocent. Guilty of racism as some sort of original sin, one
that can never be washed away by either deeds or absolution.
On April 26, Martin got his inner Je$$e Jack$on on and tweeted: “I simply
accept the reality that racism is in the DNA of America. And when that
button is pushed, the true feelings come tumbling out!”
Mark down Mr. Martin as another one of those that seem not to understand
that racism is a human frailty, not a uniquely American one. Also mark him
as a member of the race-industry that is scared to death that people will
realize that America has come a long way toward alleviating racism, far from
the days of slavery and Jim Crow.
In fact, Roland Martin himself is an example of the death of overt racism in
the United States. He is a prominent and successful black TV broadcaster.
How could that happen if America was drowning so in racism?
The fact is that racism is no longer something that is tolerated by the
average American. Certainly there was a day when loud-mouthed racists would
disgorge their hate in public and the average American would simply move
along without raising a fuss about such a display. But today racism is not
something that America ignores. Racists are shunned by polite society.
Another benchmark of the practical end of racism in America is the constant
“the first African American to…” notations one used to see in the 60s and
70s. There are no areas that African Americans have not joined, excelled
and found success in this country.
Needless to say, even the White House!
Yet with all that advancement both socially and in the law, people like
Roland Martin still imagine that racism is in every mind.
But also telling is Martin’s actual misuse of the word “racism,” a misuse
that is epidemic with the far left and the race-baiting industry. Like many
in his political milieu, Martin seems to think that “racism” only means
whites disparaging blacks. But this is a skewed definition of a word that
mean hate directed at any race, not just white against black hate.
We see racism in many ways other than white against back, don’t we? We see
Jacksons, Shaprtons, Farrakhans, and “Reverend” Jeremiah Whites displaying
their hatred against whites, Jews and others nearly every single day.
Racism is a word constantly misused by race-baiters such as Roland Martin
and it really should stop.
Sadly, racism is not something that people like Roland Martin want to stop.
It is something they love in that it keeps them in control of the debate and
gives them a role to “lead” something. After all, if America’s Afrincan
American community were to accept that their lives are in their own hands
and not in the hands of evil racists that want to keep them down they wouldn
’t be constantly looking to people like Martin or Je$$e Jack$on or Al $
harpton to “lead” them. They’d be out there on their own pushing to
succeed instead of wallowing in manufactured pity.
The shame of leftists is that they have destroyed the wonderful legacy of
great men like Frederick Douglas and Booker T. Washington and have instead
given this country the guttural race-baiting and hatemongering of Cornel
West and Reverend Wright. |
