As part of the "change we can believe in" rhetoric of the Obama Administration, we will get to hear ourselves subjected to at least four years of black victimology rhetoric such as that propounded by Attorney General Eric Holder yesterday. Claiming that the U.S. was "cowardly" on racial matters near and dear to the heart of leftist twits like himself, Holder vowed to revitalize the purportedly moribund Justice Dept. Civil Rights Division to go after manifestations of "racism" and other examples of "incorrect ideological thinking" not in accordance with the omniscient wisdom of Rassenfuhrer Holder and other affirmative action apparatchiks.
When our Attorney General should be focused on fighting international terrorism and real world blue and white collar crime, he has apparently decided to use the powers of his office to even the score with those of us not desiring to genuflect before his persecution complex. If he were intelligent, Holder would address the real problems facing the black community by telling young black men and women to apply themselves in school, avoid drugs and alcohol, obey the law, be loyal to their opposite sex mates, and abstain from sex outside of marriage if they desire to achieve the fullest measure of the American dream. Unfortunately, Holder seems imprisoned in a Jim Crow time warp where Bull Conner is lurking around every street corner to smash any sign of black self-awareness.
Another example of this willingness from the newly empowered liberal black majority to flex its muscles occurred in New York yesterday. The New York Post, in an example of genuinely American political satire, published a cartoon showing police shooting a chimpanzee for authoring the recently passed economic stimulus legislation. An assorted cabal of local and state New York black politicians got in a dander over this thinking the cartoon was insulting Messiah Obama himself. This mob has been filmed chanting "shut the Post down" in rhetoric which was used by the white racist lynch mobs of earlier in the 20th century. My how the worm has turned. Liberal twits like this need to understand that if they can denounce former President Bush and other conservatives with vitriolic imagery and rhetoric, that they should be able to take it when they and their causes are denounced by their critics. We are going to be in for an interesting few years which will become even more challenging as the lofty expectations of Obamaland disintegrate over the next several months.
