What Is Racism And What Is Not Racism

I am beginning to think the average American is insane or at least our leadership. Last fall the NAACP got angry about the “racist” song “Pick A Bale of Cotton”. The thing is that “Pick A Bale of Cotton” is a black folk song and can hardly be considered racist. So is the NAACP angry because blacks made the most of their poverty and leaned to enjoy themselves. I always thought that was an inspiration for Americans in general.

Now Governor Romney of Massachusetts apologizes for his remark comparing the Big Dig to the Tar Baby in an Uncle Remus tale. The analogy fits if you consider the Big Dig is a trick the government stuck their nose in and got trapped. Tar baby is not a racist remark as the tale is written by Joel Chandler Harris and are supposed to be based on tales told him by slaves when he was a young boy. I guess some people just want to reject the rich history of blacks for their own personal reason. My guess if they face up to it then they have to admit that blacks under the Democratic party have been their own worse enemy.

They might have to admit that the Democrat politics of legalized abortion has resulted in blacks being killed at three times the rate of whites even before they exit their own mother’s womb. They might have to admit that no fault divorce and cohabitation which are both supported by the Democrat party have decimated black family life. The soft on crime approach and the legalized drugs are just as dangerous as the poor are more subject to both in their want of status and escape from reality and human beings tend to prey on those closest to them.

I leave it up to you to decide what racism is real and what is a delusion.
