What The Hell Is Wrong With White Folks - On Every Front Racism Is Clear In America
As I was reading some of the comments left on Yahoo News regarding Serena Williams’ meltdown, I realized just how some whites refuse to allow blacks the freedom of just being “people” they will always be blacks, animals even to some.
One comment stated “another case of an angry black person thinking they are owed something.” Another comment called her “ghetto girl” and still another made the comment “you can take the monkey out of the jungle but you can’t take the jungle out of the monkey.”
The flood gates of racism have opened wide for Americans on a rampage against blacks. It does not matter what blacks do in this land of equal opportunity, to a large portion of white Americans they will always be less than human, “jungle bunnies” or in the minds of those stuck in the past “niggers.”
I have seen white ball players in the faces of referees cursing, arguing, violent and angry because a foul was called on them but let a black person express attitude and immediately the color of that athlete becomes the issue. Yet whites are so quick to make statements to the affect that it is blacks who keep the color biases alive and well.
My question becomes what the hell is wrong with white America. On any and every level possible you show just how ignorant and racist you are. While no one, besides Congressman Charles Rangel has been outspoken enough to call this opposition on health care/insurance reform what it really is, racism, I have known almost since Obama has been in office that the real cause for all of the rudeness, name calling, protests, is simply because Obama is black – it is simply motivated by hate and racism.
While Obama may have won the election, a large portion of his votes undoubtedly came from minorities and young whites who have a better handle on reality because they have been exposed to blacks more than their parents or grand parents. What I see when I scan the crowds at the “Tea Parties” and the Town Hall meetings is a sea of white faces.
A sea of white faces angry at the way things turned out in the election; a sea of white faces who are running scared at the prospect of having to give up the privilege they have enjoyed for too long and no way does that sea of faces represent the true political makeup of America at this juncture.
The real reason the health care reform is causing so much dissention is because white Americans truly feel this legislation is nothing more than reparations for “past” sins and to allow for this to pass would be like admitting guilt. Those who are against this legislation will continue to be against the legislation because it is not about the legislation it is more about race.
Never mind that this legislation has been discussed many times over the last 50 years, never mind that everyone agrees that it needs to be reformed, never mind that if it is not taken care of soon it will create a financial burden that can take America to a new level of financial ruin, the real battle is the battle against “black America” and that is the only battle that makes any sense to the irrational, hate filled masses of white America.
Racism is an irrational manifestation of the superiority racist whites feel. That irrational state of mind propels racist to act out in irrational ways and to believe the lies that have been used to dissuade the gullible minds and confuse the issues regarding the health care legislation.
Even when the lies are unveiled, the irrational minds refuse to consider truth because truth would show how truly ridiculous they have been so they cling to the lies as justification for their outrage and continue on the path of ignorance and denial.
A prime example of the ignorance and disrespect was South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson’s rude behavior at the speech Obama gave on Wednesday night when he called out that Obama was a lie for saying this health care/insurance reform would not offer health care to illegal immigrants.
This rude comment comes in spite of the reality that illegal immigrants are currently receiving health care through emergency rooms and will continue to receive this type of care regardless of any bill being passed; this rude comment comes with no “punishment” and yet accountability is a word that is overused on the stage of politics today. “I’m sorry” does not take the words or the effects of the words away.
This rude comment comes out of the mouth of Representative Joe Wilson even with the knowledge that as a result of these visits to the emergency room, by illegal immigrants, medical costs are driven up; this, in spite of the reality that while the bill may not offer a means to distinguish between an illegal immigrant and a true citizen, immigrants will be taken care of one way or the other with or without this legislation.
White people need to give up the racism that is entrenched in the fiber of their very souls because they are showing their ignorance, to the world, in a very profound manner and while you are sending our troops out to fight wars in foreign lands, you need to clean up your own back yard in order to be perceived as a nation that practices what it preaches.
And that’s the way I see it!!!!
