According to the NAACP. I am a racist. I am white, I am conservative, and I believe in small, limited government. Oh, and personal responsibility. So that makes me a racist. Fine, I can live with that. You know why? Because there are things I know that the liberal black leadership in this country refuses to admit, and until they do, it won’t matter what they call me… because it won’t fix the plight of actual living black Americans.
The first thing I know is that if I really wanted to be a racist, the best attitude I could have is indifference. Not hate. Indifference. Apathy. Whatever you want to call it. I could just walk away and not advocate for freedom and liberty and personal responsibility. I could not feel pity for the thousands of black Americans I drive by every day on my way to work, living in the squalor of subsidized housing and in neighborhoods run by gangs and punk-ass drug lords. I could not be enraged watching mayor after mayor after mayor of Baltimore totally ream their (mostly black) constituents as they try to climb higher and higher on the very backs of the constituents.
The second thing I know is that the most effective racists in the history of this country were Lyndon Baines Johnson and Margaret Sanger. LBJ didn’t mean to be the most “effective” racist in this country’s history. Quite the opposite, in fact. He is proof positive of the fact that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. But the simple fact is that the welfare policies of this country initiated under LBJ as part of the Great Society Program did more to destroy the black middle and working classes in this country than any slave trader could have hoped to accomplish.
Margaret Sanger, on the other hand, was a card-carrying eugenicist that hated minorities with a visceral passion. Her writings are the Mein Kempf of the abortion movement, and the organization she founded – which became Planned Parenthood – has lied its way to prominence in a genocidal act that has taken the lives of so many unborn black children, that inner cities have lost congressional seats because of it.
The destruction of the black middle and working classes by the policies of LBJ and the genocide of the unborn started by Margaret Sanger have done more to destroy “black America” than anything any white man who was trying could have accomplished.
The third thing I know is that the sexual revolution, which can not be separated by the out-of-control counterculture and the dangers of the drug culture, were the next-to-final nail in the coffin for black America. By separating the act of sexual intercourse from love, marriage, monogamy and commitment as well as from the responsibilities of reproduction, the sexual revolution unleashed a wave of illegitimacy that has reached massive proportions in the black community. Seven out of ten black children born today – 70%! – are illegitimate.
The fourth thing I know is that it is liberal government policies – liberal educational systems run by liberal unions, liberal criminal justice systems run by liberal prosecutors, liberal city governments run by liberal politicians – that have nurtured, engendered, and grown a culture of dependency that keeps black America under heel. The worst school systems in this country serve majority black populations and are run by liberals. Baltimore City, Detroit, Washington D.C. The list goes on…
What I also know is this. I don’t believe in “identity politics”. I don’t believe in “group rights” or “group benefits”. I could care less what your skin color is. I don’t judge a race. Anyone that judges a race is an ass. You can’t judge a race. You can only judge an individual. And only care if you are an asshole. And being an asshole knows no race.
And that, in the eyes of the modern “black leadership” in this country, makes me a racist. Because I see a man as a man, not black, not white. I listened to Martin Luther’s King great speech. I don’t care about the color of your skin, or who your parents were or what they did. I care about the content of your character, how you use your mind, and if you do your duty.
These are all things the modern “black leadership” in this country sees as “being white”. I see them as “being American”.
