UPDATED: Keeping Racism Alive
Steven Crowder: “Liberals don’t believe for a second that tea party protesters are a bunch of Robert Byrd-like Klansmen out there. No, the whole ‘race’ card is a conscious/concerted effort to keep racism alive when it should have been put to rest a long time ago.”
I’d like to think they don’t believe it either, but that they like to pretend they do. It’s easier than debating opposing viewpoints, after all.
Case in point: Matt Yglesias, who wants to make these two pictures emblematic of the 9/12 March; and indicative of “a very racism friendly environment”.
The Confederate flag has been a symbol of Southern pride for generations. If you want to take it as a pro-slavery symbol, ok, Matt. I’ll give you that one, reluctantly (incidentally, I bet it was proudly waved by Democrats just a few years before I was born); but saying this t-shirt is “ridiculing the idea of anti-racism”? Wow.
Matt, from one Hispanic man to another: Cálmate, cabrón…
UPDATE: Rush: Race rules all in Obama’s America. He may have a point: is it official policy at Justice to enforce civil rights laws in a discriminatory fashion?
