An actual example of white-on-black racism
This story is what Sharpton and Jackson should be angry about. In case my previous posts have left you thinking I’m some sort of closet white supremacist who ignores white racism, I submit this story. It is racist and disgusting.
A group of 60 black children campers were kicked out of a private swim club. According to the article, the camp paid $1900 to use the pool and when they jumped it, reportedly many of the white children left the pool.
“There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club,” John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.
John Duesler the racist, enjoy your email and voicemail this month.
Now that I have reported that, I want to address the civil rights, nay, black rights advocates like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. When you have a knee-jerk reaction to interaction between whites and blacks, you spit on the memory of Martin Luther King. When a real case of white-on-black racism comes along, like this story from Philadelphia, people are less likely to listen to you, because you have cried wolf so many times before.
My disgust for racism is as colorblind as ever. Kicking children out of a pool that they paid to use because of their skin color is ignorant, hateful nonsense. Assuming one race has less rich experiences than another race is ignorant, hateful nonsense. Assuming one group of kids raped someone with no evidence simply because it helped your cause is ignorant, hateful nonsense. I don’t care who is dishing out the racism. And I’m angry that I had to cover this in the wake of the racism committed against these innocent kids, but it was necessary.
“There were the “well, this incident was obviously racist, but people wouldn’t have to be so obviously racist if folks like Jesse Jackson and Al sharpton would just shut up (and all those damn coloreds would just stop talking about Michael Jackson)” responses.” (A Slant Truth)
The word “responses” was linked to this post.
Sharpton and Jackson’s racism is not what caused this swim club to be racists towards blacks. The swim club administrators and/or its white patrons are just racist, for reasons you’d have to ask them about. Sharpton and Jackson are racist because they think they’re entitled to be. Some white person did something to some black person before I was born, and therefore Sharpton is allowed to lecture me about white racism. I had nothing to do with it, and I will not apologize for calling them racists in the wake of the Valley swim club’s racism. Both parties are RACIST.
As for the author of this post on slanttruth, Kevin, his post is nonsense, speaking in vague generalities about how “we have come back full circle.” Total nonsense. One example of white on black racism in the media does not represent some mass, “below-the-surface” racism in America. Many “civil rights” activists (I put it in quotes because they don’t give a shit about white civil rights) see any racist act as some sort of extension for continuing to rant and rave about the white man. They act as though white people have been beaten into submission but at any moment, if they’re not diligent, white people will put black people back in chains. Its ludicrous. One example of some ignorant moron posting a picture of a monkey as Obama does not make all white people racist.
Also, slanttruth.com has all this racist nonsense on the right side of the page… banners saying “Proud Black Voter,” “blogging while brown” and the “Afrospear.” There are too many black people who think they’re entitled to be racists by virtue of their skin color. There is no moratorium on affirmative action or racist organizations that don’t allow whites. Valley Swim Club is disgustingly, ignorantly racist, and so is slanttruth.com.
I am so sick of this double-standard. Racism is not some vague aura given off only by white people. It is a word with a definition and it can be applied to anyone of any color. The world is outraged when a swimming pool kicks 60 black children out because of their skin color, and they should be outraged, but when the NAACP has their annual “No-Whites-Allowed” awards, celebrating the black entertainers who didn’t win at the regular awards, no one blinks an eye. Forrest Whitaker, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jennifer Hudson, Whoopi Goldberg, Morgan Freeman, and Cuba Gooding Jr. didn’t need some condescending awards show where whites aren’t allowed to compete to win Oscars. They won because they’re good actors, not because they’re good black actors.
