And for that you should be ashamed.
The Nation: " 'Reverse Racism' Is A Weapon Of Mass Distraction" On the other hand, on the basis of the edited tape, Beck bashed Sherrod as a reverse racist on his morning radio show ("Have we suddenly transported into 1956, except it's the other way around?” he queried). Later that afternoon, as word of the full video was coming out, he defended her on his Fox show, bashing anyone (though not himself or Breitbart) who was stupid enough to take her speech out of context. At the same time, he kept hurling reverse racism charges, asking, "When was the last time the NAACP didn't give someone the benefit of the doubt right away who was African-American?”
As for Breitbart, well, he’s still being reverse-whipped on his reverse-plantation, crying out in anguish, “How long, O Lord?” Last night on John King show, Breitbart didn’t so much defend the cleverly edited smear he’d promoted as try to change the subject, harping repeatedly on videos that he insists “prove beyond a shadow of a doubt” that the Congressional Black Caucus members who said they were called the N-word at a Capitol Hill Tea Party rally back in March are lying to make the TP look racist. (Here are the videos and they prove nothing.) More weirdly, Breitbart suggested that Sherrod was hoodwinking CNN, asking King, “You're going off of her word that the farmer's wife is the farmer's wife.”
Let’s be clear about the media hoopla over reverse racism this past month, from Rush Limbaugh’s claim that Obama is causing high unemployment as a “payback” for black slavery to Michelle Bachmann’s assertion that Obama is creating “a nation of slaves” to Fox host Megyn Kelly’s eye-popping claims that the New Black Panther Party is somehow immune to prosecution by the Obama justice department: We are not in a race relations crisis. We are in an economic crisis. And these manufactured racial melodramas are meant to frighten Vilsackian Democrats to never dare do anything that might ruffle Tea Party feathers, like push through a desperately needed second stimulus or nominate Elizabeth Warren as head of the consumer protection agency.
Ferraro Cries Reverse Racism According to Geraldine Ferraro, Barack Obama is “lucky” to be black.
If he were not black, she believes, he would not be leading in the race for the Democratic nomination today.
Those 1,403 pledged delegates he has won so far? It’s because he’s black.
Those 13,278,372 popular votes he has received? Black.
The 30 or so contests he has won in states and territories? Black, black, black.
What a lucky guy.
Ferraro, who was part of Hillary Clinton’s financial team until she stepped down Wednesday, does not see an America where racism exists, only reverse racism.
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position,” Ferraro told a California newspaper. “And if he was a woman
, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is.”
After this set off the proverbial and predictable firestorm, Ferraro responded by saying: “Racism works in two different directions. I really think they’re attacking me because I’m white. How’s that?”
Dumb, that’s how that is.
Ferraro also said she is “absolutely not sorry” for what she said. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KACQuZVAE3s"The Democrats are throwing the election away and for what? An inadequate black male who would not have been running had it not been for a white woman who was running for president."
