For those in the blogosphere, Pundit-Ville, and regular Joe and Jane Land who still believe and keep spreading that black folks in America are “racist” for overwhelmingly supporting Senator Barack Obama in Election ’08, I have two words for you:
PROVE IT!
You prove that black people’s supposed racism is harming a white, wealthy, respected, former Navy pilot, a Senator by the name of John McCain. Show me how his life is being affected negatively because of black folks’ almost blanket, supposed racist support of Barack Obama for President. Show me how 12.8% of the U.S. population have deployed their supposed insidious racist beliefs on the remaining 87.2% to stifle voting freedom. Show me how the majority can’t get a word in edgewise in ANY media outlet in Election ’08 because of a minority group’s supposed racists beliefs.
Prove it! And grabbing a picture some rapper with platinum-plated teeth, a big hat, and a Obama for President T-shirt proves nothing. The words of the leader of a fringe group of American Black Muslims saying Obama is “the Messiah” (or something like that) proves nothing. Keep trying…
I submit that if Senator Hillary Clinton had received the Democratic Party’s nomination, she would have received almost blanket support from black people. Would black people even be mentioned? Not really. You would have just heard that black people support Democrats overwhelmingly. White democrats, Black democrats, Asian democrats, Hispanic democrats, Ewok democrats, Yoda democrats, Skywalker democrats; did I mention Democrats?
The last time I heard, there’s nothing racist, sexist, or bigoted about supporting one party all the time. I can accept calling black people “monolithic Democratic party voters”. I can not and will never accept the idea that black people are practicing racism in supporting Barack Obama for President. It’s downright silly and you know it.
I’m not complex. Don’t have time for all that. And all that complex stuff bad for the stomach. Just color me simple and plain with a twist.
