Why No Love for Shirley Sherrod? (aka Stating the Obvious)
Uh, ok. So I was waiting for Alpha Man to field this one. I could understand the silence on Oscar Grant (Alpha Man says thanks to the rappers that any black man talking about police brutality seems like a thug). But then I saw his love-thy-neighbor bullshit post and I knew I had to do this myself.
There is no such thing as reverse racism. Every white person that hates black people does so because of an institutionalized system of oppression and misrepresentation. Every black person that hates white people does so due to 400 years of rape, torture, murder, slavery AND most likely a lot of personal experience. That’s not racism. It’s a form of prejudice yes. Very understandable prejudice in the case of Shirley Sherrod… a prejudice she overcame by the way.
What the hell is wrong with you people? Her father was murdered by the Klan and then her job becomes helping someone who may have rode along just for kicks. Dammit people that’s NOT racism.
Ok, I’m a doctor. That means I work with alot of different types of people. Jews hate the Palestinians and vice versa. Indians hate Pakistanis. But let’s examine that. Bulldozers and suicide bombs. I have no idea how Indians and Pakistanis kill each other, only that their hatred inspired a mini arms race in Southeast Asia. But those conflicts are tit for tat. You never hear about a white church burning.
So I should be done but I thought I’ve got time let’s read what Alpha Man’s hero Elie Mystal has to say. Once again I was blown. So Elie says the sister doesn’t have a case though he admits Fox Blogger acted unethically. Then he goes off on an irrelevant tangent about Jon Stewart. News flash Elie – juries are made up of people, not lawyers. When given a choice between what is right and what is legal sometimes people do the right thing.
