stick your race card where the sun doesn't shine

OK, so Alan Combs ticked me off tonight so I’m making an additional blog posting in lieu of the extra hour of sleep.


On the O’Reilly Factor tonight (08/30/2011) Alan Combs was defending Congressman Andre Carson (D-Indiana) after he made the following statement on 08/22/2001 in Miami, Florida. Congressman Carson said “some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us (referring to black Americans) as second class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now of this Tea Party movement would love to see you and me, I’m sorry, hanging on a tree”.

Mr. Combs stated that he understood where members of the black caucus were coming from, because people had used racial slurs against them before. Mr. Combs went on to say that he can understand Congressman Carson’s point of view because the tea party is made up of older white people who are not sympathetic to blacks. Excuse me……….

The Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution (Section 1)

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Exactly where in that passage does it say that any group has to be sympathetic to any other group. This document guarantees EQUAL rights not equal but special, not equal but empathetic, not equal with reparations to be named later!!!

I am so very tired of the race card, the pity card, and the “my ancestor was mistreated so you owe me” card. Anyone that thinks they are being mistreated because of their race needs to get a freaking life. I’m sorry but if you think of yourself as anything other than an American no matter what the color then you should probably catch the first boat back to your country of origin, be it Africa, Norway, Mexico, or China. If you want equal rights, if you want true color blindness, quit sticking your color in our faces, and accept yourself, then maybe others will accept you as well!!!
