OK, we need to be completely honest and look at things as they are and for what they are and take the political correctness BS out the equation. You see, this is what happens when you spend a generation baking the cake of double standards then want to sit down and eat it while expecting there to be no consequences.
I am no Trump fan, but he has got some cojones! Unfortunately, he is tea bagging the living daylights out of Obama with them! Obama succumbs to the Trump pressure and releases his long form. He folded, he knows it, the nation knows it and Trump took full and rightful credit for it. Did that satisfy his craving for Obama blood? No, one could argue he loves the taste! The Obama Administration is taken back and Trump has their complete and undivided attention because he has effectively mapped a blueprint on how to defeat Obama in 2012. And that is by doing what politicians have been too afraid to do because they are fearful of being called racists; take Obama head on and ensure he is fully exposed FOR THE FIRST TIME. (Shame on you America for electing a man that has more sealed records than does a filthy rich criminal)!
With a quick and easy victory under his belt, Trump called for Obama’s grades as it would seem he will not rest until every single sealed Obama record is released. Trump stated the following:
“I have friends who have smart sons with great marks, great boards, great everything and they can’t get into Harvard… We don’t know a thing about this guy. There are a lot of things that are unanswered about this president.”
The retort? This is code for saying Obama “got into law school because he is Black.” as it would continue to read; “… an ugly strain of racism running through the whole thing.”
Trump is a racist!
Now just stop the stupidity because this is the exact type of thing the Obama / Holder team stand for. What we are talking about is Affirmative Action. States that have voted to have Affirmative Action programs removed are criticized as being “racist states.” However, if one suggests a person is a product of a program they so strongly support, it is they who are the racist? You can’t have it both ways Slappy! This is exactly why Affirmative Action has outlasted its usefulness.
Holder and Co. recently forced a city to accept candidates into the police and fire/rescue services who did not meet the testing scores because they were Black. One such Black candidate stated that he wanted to make it on his own merits because he did not wish to be stigmatized as a quota and judged as incompetent because he was Black. Good for him, but shame on the Department of Justice for setting Blacks back 47 years!
So now we have a suggestion that Affirmative Action birthed Obama’s education and we are supposed to paint Trump as a racist for the insinuation (which is subject to your own interpretations by the way). This is the damage the program causes and like it not, Obama and his DoJ are forcing it on the nation, but how dare we assume that people are actually products of the program… if we make such an assumption, no matter how loosely, it is an act of racism itself. Yet, we insist that things be both ways? We want equality, while we force a double standard of acceptance upon the people. It becomes easier for minorities and women to attend certain schools, obtain certain jobs and even attain certain levels of success while never acknowledging that this in and of itself is an act of discrimination; racism in motion. But, a person can only be viewed and referenced as an intellectual equal despite having to meet lesser standards in order to obtain the same position of “equality.”
There have been times in my life that I have been discriminated against and I really did not care for them all that much. Putting the shoe on the other foot, I can see why some take issue with Affirmative Action. It is difficult, no, impossible to accept that you are not good enough because the color of your skin happens to be “wrong;” regardless of how good you actually happen to be. Isn’t that what we tell White males with Affirmative Action? Because they are White, they do not have a certain right of access to resources and opportunities? That because they may be the person that posses a better skill set, have higher grades, or be more experienced; that they are not eligible because they are White; that even though they are a better fit, the slot must be filled by some one less qualified, less experienced, or less skilled because they are the right gender, or right color. It sucks to be told that you are not good enough, even though you know you are far, far better! It sucks like you would not believe. There is nothing worse the busting your ass to get somewhere in life and be rejected because you do not look a certain way. If it is wrong for me to be denied something because I am Black, it is equally wrong that a person is denied something because they are White!
So now we have this program that we “support” and even force upon the people, but do not consider it racist and discriminatory because it is believed that it “benefits” minorities. We knowingly impose this double standard and blatantly ignore the consequences of such actions.
Here is a clue, if we want to do away with the perception that a person has attained more by achieving less due to the color of their skin, perhaps we should do away with the program that enables such mindsets. Just a thought. So long as the program exists, the reality of the products of the double standard exists. We can’t have it both ways and when someone calls us out on it, we really have to evaluate who is actually perpetrating the fraud and the racist acts.
Let’s face it, America has a serious problem with the terms and conditions of race as a collective people. We toss the word “multiculturalism” around, but have not have the foggiest idea on how to embrace ethnicity. We allow ourselves to overreact each and every time we hear the words racist and racism. Because of these interpersonal failings we have been exploited by a political entity that has learned to use these words to polarize constituents into passive followers of hate. When the accusation is made it is believed, though the vast majority of the time it is never substantiated. Sadly, America is so racially and culturally inept that an accusation of racism does not have to be substantiated to have an affect. I will prove my point right here and right now.
If I would post on my Facebook page that Mark (no offense man) made a racial slur against me, your reaction would be; “Oh my God! How could he?” because you do not know him personally. Then I would have to listen to comment after comment about how intolerant you are to racism and how it sickens you that it exists. It is because you find guilt first based upon the accusation of race that demonstrates your profound insecurity with race as an issue. It does not make you a racist, but it does make you an enabler of racism! And it is the latter that is fed upon to perpetuate the atmosphere of racism that exists in America today.
I spent the day engaging in various discussions based upon articles that that have used gross exaggerations of racism to fuel the political agenda of a given side and against an opposing side. In each and every case, the accusation was largely supported even though no true details were known in which to base judgment accurate upon. The Right was simply a bunch of racist losers as judged by supports of the Left who themselves were appalled by racism. Our problem is that we fail to see the dichotomy that can exist in being "non-racist," but enabling racism through assumed guilt. No one here owes the next person a thing when it comes to race and ethic relations. All must be treated equally in order to attain equality. The bottom line is that overcoming race as an issue means the individual must first overcome aspects of themselves they never directly face. Because we cannot do that, allows us to be inclined to assign guilt with no evidence racism has been committed. The result is an American society that cannot move beyond a sordid and racist past.
When will we realize the promise actually lies in the future and not clinging to the guilt and resentment of the past?
