Racism in America

by Samuel Hitchens

Created on: May 30, 2008

Racism has publically evolved into an equal opportunity ignorance. There was a time when only white people could be racist, but we've made great strides to make racism equally available. Non-Caucasians no longer need to keep there racism confined to the dinner table or private clubs, what an antiquated notion. Now we can celebrate intolerance in all facets of life. If Abraham Lincoln could only see us now, he would blissfully demonstrate those pearly whites. (ooop's)


Homosexualism, fattism, uglyism, white man oppressorism, and on and on. Is it possible to hate a person because of their color? People who for instance hate blacks, may still drive black cars, wear black clothes, and even have black hair. The same holds true for white, brown, yellow, red, and sometimes blue. It doesn't make sense to me, if some says, " You're a racist because you hate black people." Wouldn't I hate the race he was, no matter what color he happened to be? If I hated white people, I would be a white hater, not a racist.
I guess the scheme of what I am trying to articulate, is racist, is just a connotation for evil, or ignorant, or insecure person. The word itself is just a political gimmick, used as a blanket statement to raise the ire of one people about another. In turn it provides leverage for manipulation, the democrats are famous for it. Racism doesn't exist, it is a politically divisive myth.
Now I know there will be some one who will read this far, but is slow on the uptake and will say, "If there is no racism why are people still being discriminated against because their color?" Read my lips, it's NOT THEIR COLOR! It is the insecurity of the perpetrator. It might be the lack of knowledge, it might be jealousy, it might be envy. But, I assure you it is not color! Color is the rational to what you've been made to believe, by the media and other dark liberal forces.
For far too long, the media has made a nest in liberal Democrat pockets. We constantly read what they want us to believe. Unfortunately, we don't always investigate the article, because it's easier to take it at face value. I don't remember the last time they interviewed a soldier who conveyed his patriotism for his country and told us how we were winning the war. The fact is the media doesn't want us to know the extent of successes our brave soldiers have achieved. This is just like racial discrimination, if there's no injustice there is no battle to wage, there for no votes to secure. Democrats always need a problem to fight for, because their issues haven't any substantial merit.
