While I agree there are many whites who are blatantly racist about many people, what people don't understand is that JUST BEING HUMAN makes one racist to a degree. It's our sinful, impure human nature, and fear of the unknown, that gets in the way. What we don't know, we fear, and more times that not, fear is the seed of racism, amongst many other things.
By one merely saying that he or she isn't racist doesn't necessarily make it true. We're always going to have prejudices of one type or another. What we like/don't like, what we're comfortable or uncomfortable with, our way of life, how we were brought up, our politics and religious affiliations, how others differ from us...it's ENDLESS. However many don't understand this, so they continue to exacerbate the "only the right is racist" view, which is a stereotype in and of itself! Here is a website featuring an article on this very topic. This comment from MichelleMalkin.com, shows how some blatant racism (coming from the Left) never seems to be pointed out:Let’s discuss some “Derogatory” names that are on television, in the papers, on the radio at any time every day of every week of every month of every year…SHALL WE?
Cracka?
Whitey?
Redneck?
White-boy? [I'd also like to interject about various comments/lines in movies and TV shows where, if a white person can't dance or isn't funny/cool/hip enough, the line invariably goes: "well you ARE white, so..." Would we ever see TV show characters saying: "Well, you're black so obviously you can't do X." ??? NEVER!]
Why it is even prevalent in children’s movies. In the movie “Madagascar”, the zebra character, played by Chris Rock, loves the island sooooo much, that he claimed that it was “Cracka-lackin”.
Gee…so the reason that the island was such a paradise was because it was devoid of white people? And this is ok terminology to have in an animated children’s film?
I have heard this term used MANY times on television in various shows and NEVER spoken by anyone who was not black.
SO tell me, trolls and other race-baiters…why is there no outcry against the BLATANT racism and “Derogatory” terms that are used on a daily basis?
Would it be ok if, in the next childrens movie, a character comes out and proclaims a location to be wonderful simply because it is “N*****-lackin”?
Hypocrites. Stinking hypocrites.
