The Indian-American Republican governor of a deep red southern state, as well as its black Republican senator, have both endorsed a young Hispanic for president.
A little something to remember as the progressive left insists that opposition to Obama appointing a progressive leftist to the SCOTUS is because Republicans are racist.
Meanwhile, two old white people fight for the Democrat nomination; each claiming they can best implement the economic system of Cuba, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela in the United States.
The Left will always try to promote the US myth that racism isn’t tied to ideology, as if an equal number of racists aren’t part of the Left. As we all know, it’s their way of trying to take ownership of the minority vote. They do need to be more outrageous & repetetive in their accusations because the immorality of the left, endemic, is a non-starter for immigrants coming from Catholic or the more prudish societies. It’s a distraction & an agenda.
Sorry, correction: the myth that racism IS tied to ideology. (Sheesh)
@ Hanover: Unfortunately, the Left has bee very successful at establishing the idea of the National Original Sin in this country. White people, for ever and always, will be guilty of the sin of enslavement. Just as some medieval theologians believed that the fact that Eve was the one who ate the Forbidden Fruit first made women the weaker and more sinful of the sexes, regardless of their personal virtue, the Left has been done a nice job of say that ALL white people, no matter how nice they may be individually, are guilty of White Privilege, the new Sin of Eve. Any white person who dissents from this narrative is declared a Racist, just as any woman who tried to assert herself was branded a Witch.
It didn’t take being openly gay long to figure out it was not the STR8 White Church Going Christian Men that that i was warned about that do most of the bashings.

“White people, for ever and always, will be guilty of the sin of enslavement”
Doubtful, but lets be honest here:
50 years ago this country had apartheid laws.
30 – years ago workplace discrimination was institutionalized
20 years ago, housing discrimination was rampant.
Institutional racism is not something in the distant past of this country. Its not something that the people who were discriminated against can quickly recover from because whole generations have been raised under the fist of REAL ACTUAL State Tyranny. And its not like as soon as the Federal Government starts protecting the rights of African Americans, the whole population suddenly changes its minds.
It will be a while before the population catches up, and until then we all need to be vigilant that the REAL ACTUAL State Tyranny that the people of African descent faced, stays in the past.
Robio’s ethnicity is irrelevant. What matters is that he’s a scripted robot whose only quality is that he’s a pretty boy who says the right things to get FOX News anchors smiling.
I made this comment to a liberal white Dem several weeks ago. I asked which party had a black, two Hispanics, and a woman vying for the presidency. She knew that answer.
No, mike, the reason we still have racism in this country is because race-baiting pimps like yourself and Barack Obama have literally nothing else without it.
You are the worst kind of racist, mikey. Democrats last week screamed for the murder of Clarence Thomas. Democrats last week insinuated that all black people are stupid and need white people to tell them what to do. Democrats and the Democrat media have repeatedly stated that Cruz and Rubio are not “real Latinos” and insisted that any Hispanic person that does not support illegal immigration and amnesty is a race traitor. And liars like Barack Obama scream that white people are to blame for all problems of society and that black people should be allowed to commit crimes with impunity.
The Democrat Party is an institute of racism. The Democrat Party has institutionalized racism and intends to practice racism forever. Racism will not be eliminated in American society until Democrats are completely removed from power and crushed.
Mike,
Life ain’t fair for anyone. I’m white but under 5’8″, so I get less notice from chicks. It’s not racism. But it isn’t fair. I’m not the bosses son. I’m not politically connected. My parents couldn’t afford to send me to college. I went anyway. I also can’t get a job in a Chinese food restaurant. Racism? You bet. You know what? I don’t care. I don’t care because I didn’t grow up to believe that race is the most important quality of my life that determines everything else. You may want to consider why there are no epithets for “white guy” that really offends white guys.
“I’m white but under 5’8″, so I get less notice from chicks. It’s not racism”
Thats true. – Not that I am trying to recruit you but I know some fellas who enjoy shorter fellas. So you could try that option if you want.
Also its likely your past generations didn’t feel the effects of long term institutional racism that limited your options for centuries. The long term damage of institutional racism has been far more damaging to people of color than one’s personal feeling on race.
It’s rather entertaining to watch.
In the past, Mikey and his fellow Obama Party members based their plantation kindness on the belief that black and other minority people were inferior savages who needed white liberal massas like Mikey to take care of them like pets.
Now in the present, Mikey and his fellow Obama Party members base their plantation kindness on the fact that black and minority people are inferior savages because of the way Mikey and his fellow racists institutionalized their previous beliefs.
Notice the self-perpetuating nature of this. Mikey and his fellow Obama Party members deliberately harm black and minority people with their racist attitudes, then insist that black and minority people must remain slaves to white liberals because they are harmed by white liberals’ racist attitudes.
Mikey, why do you and your Barack Obama Party believe that all black and minority people are automatically inferior and savage? Why won’t you confront your racist belief that all black and minority people are helpless without white liberals?
Sean L @ #3 nails it. He says the left has been highly successful at establishing racism directed at blacks as the “National Original Sin” of America.
The February 17-23, 2016 weekly c-ville carries a cover story about slavery at the local homes in the Charlottesville, Va. area of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe.
The author proclaims: “The sickening, horrible institution of slavery was a blight on our nation until (……) ”
This young pup in his attempt to write about a subject uncomfortable to his sense of a perfect world just had to make sure that readers would not mistake his efforts as some form of apologia for slavery.
We are told that tourists to homes of the three local presidents have been saved from “the accurate retelling of the awful conditions under which slaves toiled and lived.”
The president of the Montpelier Foundation (Madison’s estate) is quoted as saying “…It’s such a painful subject for all Americans that we’ve tended to turn away from it, to gloss over it.”
Then this same foundation president is quoted as saying that the Montpelier Foundation is “dedicated to telling a complete, accurate and human story about our country, I see the improved interpretation of slavery as crucial.”
Did you catch that? The complete, accurate “human story” suddenly morphed into an improved interpretation.
So, how do the Monticello, Montpelier and Ashland foundations go about stitching this “improved interpretation” together?
Each foundation has made a remarkable effort at archeology of the slave quarters and in searching out slave graveyards. They have delved into every document and written record they can find. But, frankly, there is a paucity of written records.
In the 1930’s, the Federal Writers Project accumulated about 2,300 narratives from former slaves. Slavery ended in 1865 and 65 years later, the FWP collected the oral histories and remembrances. So, how old were the slaves that were interviewed and how old were they while in slavery?
If you insist upon true slave and fugitive slave narratives written contemporaneously with slavery, you will find that there are fewer than 125 such narratives. Two of those long hidden narratives turned up just a few years ago.
It is estimated that 20 million Africans were bound into slavery in North America during the slave period of our history. Mostly they couldn’t write and there were very few authors running around interviewing the common person, slave or free.
The c-ville writer who is “sickened” by the “horrible blight” on our history has already raised his flag. Slavery was a fact of our history. We can readily tell how his “complete, accurate” human story of slavery would be constructed. He would lay out the “improved interpretation” according to his preconditions of understanding the “sickening, horrible blight” that fully colors his beliefs.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn made this remark at Harvard Class Day Exercises, Thursday, June 8, 1978:
In racism, perception is reality. I could address what I have written above in far greater detail. However, in the typical audience of readers or listeners there will be the “observer” who is outraged with my “feeble, despicable, sickening” attempts which are “obviously aimed at “justifying” slavery. That is because the “correct” guidelines for the “improved interpretation” of slavery are already etched in stone. It does not matter that no attempt has been offered in “justifying” slavery. Opinions and emotions trump facts when “feelings” are on the menu.
The Demonizingrats are demagogues at heart. In the spirit of Alinsky, they never let a chance to discredit and distort go to waste.
You will almost never hear about the black tribes and families in Africa who trace their lineage back to their ancestors who built their empires on rounding up other blacks and supplying the slave trade. That, of course, is because it really messes with the “improved interpretation” and preferred, “sensitive” narrative. Another bit of moral relevancy growing like kudzu.

Heliotrope from my tour of George Washington’s home comes one of my favorite related sayings. Washington was the richest man of his day and one of his prized possessions was an ice cream maker but he ate less ice cream in his lifetime than La-a (Ledasha) on welfare did by age 10. People on welfare get air conditioning
Oh, my. Such ignorance-laced deception.
20 years ago was 1996 and housing discrimination was a thing of the past. The Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) outlawed refusal to sell or rent a dwelling to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 1968 was 48 years ago.
30 years ago was 1986 (mid-Reagan term.) The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was established under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC investigates discrimination based on an individual’s race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, genetic information, and retaliation for reporting, participating in, and/or opposing a discriminatory practice. The scope of the act has been augmented since 1964, but institutionalized discrimination went the way of the dodo as the rulings in court cases based on the act began to accumulate. 1964 is 52 years ago.
50 years ago was 1966. This county never had apartheid laws. The Plessy decision permitted separate, but equal segregation; but it was never codified as a national law requiring segregation. Apartheid is specific to South Africa in the same way Nazi is specific to the Third German Reich. Apartheid is from the Afrikaans language and it was used to name the specific South African government doctrine of racial segregation which made people of mixed race or African (black) decants into second-class citizens, and restricted them geographically, educationally, socially and professionally.
When little letter mikey, the fascist struts in here spreading this filth, he does so as an agitator spoiling for a fight.
little letter mikey, the fascist can not bring himself of comprehend that the father of modern racism was the high-worshipful Progressive Woodrow Wilson and he assiduously defends the Darwinist eugenists who set out to murder blacks in the womb. little letter mikey, the fascist will scream and rant about how a woman has the right to murder “her” private property fetus in the exact same way the plantation owner had the right to stomp and scar his human property like it was just another form or cockroach.
My ongoing bitch with little letter mikey, the fascist is that he is so blatantly obstinate about showing up with his stupid light flashing all the while thinking he is making a salient point. Whew. He exemplifies the idiocy of a person so senseless that he can’t figure out how to pound sand down a rathole or pour water out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel.
One final word to little letter mikey, the fascist. I am old enough to have known segregation in this country up close and personal. You have nothing but your manufactured perceptions to motivate your sniveling, brown-nosing, slavish dedication to the unctuous political correctness of your personally chosen, smarmy legion of pompous windbags who tout cultural perfection. And you do this without anything more than a pretentious belief system grounded only in what blows your skirt up at any given moment. [Translation: get a life of your own.]
