A Whiter Shade of Stupid
1/26/2009
The subject matter of this column alone, should draw the attention of the NAACP, the KKK, Abe Foxman, Morris Dees, and a sundry of other ‘special interest’ idiots. Do a ‘Google’ search on the term, “white identity”, and 5,780,000 links will pop up, many articles, blogs and columns being ‘racist’ in nature. It seems that it’s ok to identify with ‘black identity,’ or ‘red identity,’ or ‘Mexican identity,’ or what ever – and that’s ok – but DO NOT identify one’s self as being white – ’cause you ain’t right!
Consider the words of Dr. Joseph E. Lowery’s Benediction speech at Obama’s Inauguration speech on January 20, 2009:
“Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around – (laughter) – when yellow will be mellow – (laughter) – when the red man can get ahead, man – (laughter) – and when white will embrace what is right.”
First of all, who in the hell is this pompous ass to tell me – or any other person of Caucasian ancestry, what is right? I grew up with ‘blacks,” “jews,” and every mix of race, color, religious affiliation, and creed of the human animal – and was taught to accept a man or woman at face value – for how they conducted him or herself – not because of the difference in their belief structure or the color of their skin.
