"WHY THE SOCIALIST PRESS IS AFRAID TO HOLD SHARPTON AND JACKSON'S FEET TO THE FIRE"
BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS
The socialist press is in a quandry. One of their own is facing the wrath of "the final arbiters," no, not "GOD", but, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Don Imus has had to go to "Muhammad" and apologize. In this case, Muhammad, at least he thinks he is, is the Reverend Al.
Reluctantly, Imus has turned into the whipping boy of the socialist press. I say reluctantly, because Don Imus is one of theirs. For years, he has carefully developed a liason with the likes of NBC's David Gregory and Chris Matthews; both water carriers for the democrat party. Imus, a white man, but also an "ultra liberal," is now seen as a "member of the majority." That is, white Americans who have abridged the rights of untold minorities. In order for this schema to work for the Sharptons of this country, White Americans must give into the paradigm known as, "White Guilt."
European-Americans who surrender to "White Guilt" accept the indictment that they are responsible for all of the wrongs visited upon African-Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Women, (white and black) Gays, etc. When a white person leaves the ranks of the politically correct, and commits a transgression, that person is treated as though he or she is an escapee from a leprosy colony.
The socialist press is at a loss over the Don Imus gaffe. These hypocrites knew that Imus was a satirist; and that he made fun of "Everyone." Yet, people like David Gregory, Tim Russert, Chris Matthew couldn't wait to be a guest on "Imus In The Morning." They all yucked it up with "The "I" Man." Now, his tail has been caught in the cracks; and the cracks are closing tighter around his tail. What will these cowards of the press do? Throw poor old Donald Imus under the bus? Or do they recuse themselves from doing any stories connected to this "Liberal Cowboy."
For their part, Sharpton and Jackson are saying that a two week suspension for Imus amounts to a slap on the wrists. They want him canned, fired, kaput. Judging from today's climate in America, I wouldn't be surprised if these two charlatans got their wish. However, If that happened, it would indeed be, "No Justice."
The socialists press is too afraid to call these two phoney civil rights leaders on their past faux pas. They do not wished to be painted with that broad bush called "Racism." This is the hypocrisy of liberalism. Most of these politically correct parasites are racists. We who are conservative know this, however, the liberal is deluding him/herself. They are too busy trying to be perfect in a land of imperfection. When anything resembling racism comes out of their mouth, they start crying and chanting "Mea Culpa." To his credit, Don Imus has not engaged in either egregious behavior.
In the meantime, The Rutgers basketball incident has taken on a life of its own. People are coming from out of the woodwork to "get a piece of the "I" man." I must remind you again, that Donald Imus is a flaming uptown Manhattan "LIBERAL." We are not talking about Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity.
Members of the Rutgers basketball team had their 15-minuets on the world's stage on Tuesday. One young black lady said that Imus' comments had "taken a toll on her team, mentally and physically." As a black man from the south, I began to wonder, "how would this young woman have fared in the south, fifty years ago?" If she gave Imus that much power over her, chances are she would have taken her own life a half century ago. That is pathetic. Rutgers is preparing these young women to go out into the world, and they "fold up like a wallet" over the comments of a sixty-five year old man? What will they do when real adversity strikes? That is what troubles me.
Chances are these young women were not even remotely aware of Imus' statement. However, thanks to people like Sharpton and Jackson who are always on the prowl for an opportunity to exploit the race card, these women are now being used as political pawns.
So, Don Imus called them "Nappy-Headed Hoes." I wonder if these women have ever heard of Snoop Dogg, The Game, 50 Cents, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Yung Joc, Puff Daddy, or T.I? All of these scumbags have made millions degrading black women. Trust me, they have used stronger language than "Nappy-Headed Hoes" in their music videos. But, Al and Jesse can't gain any political mileage out of their misogynistic hate filled speech. Notice, I didn't call what they do, "Music." The trash the aforementioned rappers turn out would pollute the dirtiest sewer in America.
Don Imus broke the cardinal rule held by most African-Americans. And that is, we can call each other the vilest names, but let a white man even think of calling a black a derogatory name, and we have the word police, Jackson and Sharpton, waiting to pounce on them, and take them before the court of opinion. Ridiculous? You bet it it.
So, the question that begs to be answered at this juncture is this. When will this phenomenon known as "White Guilt" stop? Ladies and gentlemen, it will stop when you say, "I'm Mad As Hell, And I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore."
That is when it will stop!
