Well after I finished laughing at the “Redneck Rash” story I regrouped and started focusing on this latest noose incident at Columbia.

Y’know I started to try and write something more “radical” to condemn the rednecks who perpetrated this latest racial outrage, but you know I decided that I really don’t care that much about it.

Now don’t get me wrong, the images of nooses being hung around the nation is a sobering one, and a reminder that racism is alive and well, bla, bla, bla. However I see racism and racist behavior the same as any other mental health condition.

C’mon, a person, in today’s world being a racist leads a sad and lonely existence.

People who harbor that kind of contempt and hatred towards another human being simply on the basis of skin color are mentally ill. In addition - and this I know has been said countless times - typically the racists tend to be the less educated and isolated. So they don’t have much power.

Don’t get me wrong. Racism is alive and well. Folks, we are not that
far removed from the days of white folks spitting on children walking to school, segregated facilities, rampant discriminatory practices.

Fast forward to a discussion on Meet the Press a few months ago; during a panel discussion of the 2008 presidential election on the July 15 edition of NBC’s Meet the Press, syndicated columnist Robert Novak made the following statement:

“Republicans are very pessimistic about 2008. When you talk to them off the record, they don’t see how they can win this thing. And then they think for a minute, and only the Democratic Party, with everything in their favor, would say that, ‘OK, this is the year either to have a woman or an African-American to break precedent, to do things the country has never done before.’ And it gives the Republicans hope.”

Now of course Novak’s words were dismissed by the typically all white news panel that Tim Russert assembles every week.

Now those who read my blog should remember, (I have to find it) the post when Obama first announced running for president, and I said that his candidacy is a farce, he has ZERO chance of being the Democratic nominee and he has no chance of being elected president. All of the fundraising he generated was a smoke screen simply for him to be the alternative to Hillary and her stranglehold on the Negro voting block.

I also said that there will not be a black president in my lifetime or my grandchildren’s lifetime. I am Black, but I believe this to be
true. Black folks are simply viewed too negatively by far too many
white folks in this country. There are still too many pockets of rednecks that have virtually no contact with black folks, so at the risk of being repetitive, why would they vote for a black man when they haven’t ever befriended a Negro, worked with a Negro or worshiped with a Negro?

However what folks typically forget is that most of people isolate ourselves in some way or another. Whether it’s our church affiliation, social circles, kids have been self segregating themselves in schools forever.

Now as for me I have said here many times I have some really strong prejudices, but I deal with them and I don’t let them poison my mind and alter how I live my life.

However as distracting and as disturbing as the noose incidents may be to some people, we should not kid ourselves, many are hanging emotional and psychological nooses up in our own heads every damm day on all sides of the pigment divide. Whether it’s Mexican’s against Gringos and Negros and vice versa, Asians who remain distant from blacks, black folks and their angst against Korean’s, redneck who don’t like anybody not to mention class divide.

Folks, things racial front are fucked up everywhere; unfortunately way too many people have this need to be perpetually racially angry about something. Hence the mass hysteria in Jena.

Many of these noose incidents are simply meant incite a simple reaction, like shouting fire in a movie theatre just to see hysteria ensue.

Other of these white supremacist types who do this dumb shit, do it symbolically to get their dicks hard and because they know it gets under black folks’ skin.

The third leg unfortunately are the incidents like at Duke a few years back as mentioned in the video piece below where these black students hung a Barbie doll from a tree with a note saying “Duke has not changed.” Dumb ass militant black folks who - like I said before - need to be perpetually outraged about something, in order to entice other black folks to “get behind the cause”, “get whitey” and all of the other nonsense that goes with it. Its how Sharpton and Jackson stayed employed and the driving force behind many of the thought processes still prevalent amongst far too many black folks.

This is not mentioned to excuse rednecks, however let’s face the fact that the white people who would deny you employment, a bank or housing loan, engage in housing discrimination, gentrification, isolate themselves in exclusive country clubs and a whole host of other human infractions are not hanging nooses from fucken doorknobs and trees.

Racism unfortunately has evolved to be more refined, dignified. Not the symbolic trifling gestures nooses in trees or on trucks, confederate flags on 18 wheelers, ball caps and at NASCAR races or painted swastikas on overpasses and churches represent. Only retarded monkeys engage in that crap and it’s a sure sign of a massive inferiority complex.
