All White is Not Right (pun intended)

We can no longer ignore the elephant in the room (yes that's another pun),or, as one of my list serve buddies says, "It's time to pull the sheets off the "Tea Baggers" and call them what they really are."

NEOCONS.

The Bush neocons realized they would never get back in with the party name
'REPUBLICAN' while the Republican Party tries to chave it's image and present
itself as less extreme.

Welcome TEA BAGGERS.

If PALIN is going to lead that party, that is EXACTLY WHAT IT IS;

NEOCON

In the aftermath of the so called Tea Party convention this weekend, we can no longer ignore the FACT the members are ALL WHITE and they despise President Obama. Sure they have a couple of token blacks so they can claim they are "diverse", but the majority of the members are white and bitter.

Yes I said it. They are bitter because they are afraid. They are afraid because they've been terrorised. They are bitter because they've been misinformed (lied to). They are clinging to their God and their guns out of pure unadulterated fear or retribution and retaliation for their past sins and transgressions. Black folks are going to pay them back for slavery and Jim Crow. Native Americans are going to get them for taking their land and giving them small pox. Hispanics are going to take over. Lesbians and gays are going to come out of the closet and be allowed to marry. Women are going to be allowed to kill their babies. The heathens and the unwashed are going to take our bibles and our guns. Get my drift?

This is what happens when the all white is not right media allows the public airways to be used to spread misinformation (lies) without impunity. This is what happens when the media lacks cultural diversity. This is what happens when the media censors and suppresses dissent. All fear all the time UNfair and Unbalanced, all terror all the time UNfair and UNbalanced,all war all the time UNfair and UNbalanced thrives when there is no truth.

What do you think the media would have said if after the selection of pResident George W. Bush guns sales boomed among Black folks?

"Definitely, it's because of Obama," said a saleswoman at Freddie Bear Sports in Tinley Park. The saleswoman, who declined to give her name, said that the boost is more for the "long guns," like AK-47s and assault rifles.

What if large groups of black folks organized into a Tea Party like movement and called George W. Bush a "socialist"?

Comedienne Janeane Garofalo held nothing back while discussing the “tea parties” with Keith Olbermann last night. Though the parties’ organizers claim they’re protesting taxes, Garofalo insists they’re nothing but “tea-bagging rednecks” who are simply motivated by “hating a black man in the White House.” She went on to say that participants “will believe anything you tell them, as long as it’s not the truth.” The truth, she claims, “confuses them.”

Olbermann basically agreed.

Compare how former Vice President Al Gore was treated by the media and in the media compared to Sarah Palin. Al Gore didn't become a paid, Faux News Talking TeeVee Pundit Head. He certainly was not the de facto leader of an organized movement giving red meat speeches against Bush and Dick.

Palin was mocking, asking, "How's that hope-y, change-y stuff working out for you?" and she was serious, especially while criticizing what she judged to be President Obama's too-measured approach to national security. A country at war, she said, needs "a commander-in-chief, not a professor of law."
Palin was folksy. Sticking our kids with the bill for deficit spending is a form of "generational theft" that makes us less secure, makes us less free, "and that should tick us off." Sure, solving the country's problems is tough, she added, but "If you can't ride two horses at once you shouldn't be in the circus."

The only black folks on TeeVee this Sunday morning are talking about the Super Bowl. There are no African American, Hispanic, native American Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads or host of cable talk shows. We used to be able to count on C-Span for diversity and fairness, but they've fallen prey to the all white is right rule too.

Until and unless we start having some real fairness and balance in the media, tea party groups will continue to thrive. Until and unless we have a free press that informs the public instead of distorting what we decide we will continue to send our sons and daughters to war based on dead wrong intelligence.

We can no longer ignore the elephant in the room.

All white is not right.

It's the stoopid.

Not talking about the racism isn't going to make it go away

Let's address it, not suppress it.

Peace Out.
