A summarization of racial hypocrisy

The human psyche is a perpetual evolution of perplexity. What separates mankind from other living creatures is the merit of reason. With this innate analytical sense, one should presumptuously assume that moral obviousness is a collectively unique virtue. However, the status quo suggests it’s relatively easy to manipulate the mindset of the masses, and evidently just as easy for the individual to con their conscience. So how does one’s congenital sense of the obvious erode into a conscious oblivion?

The media and their directwhores have assumed the role of shepherd and conditioned the flock with their memetic schemes, inducing the bizarre acceptance and promotion of self-hatred amongst the ethnic majority. This self-hatred (fueled by guilt) is the fundamental premise of a hypocritical worldview contingent upon the elimination of hatred with hate (“We hate those who hate!”) – All in the name of tolerance. The tolerant ones not only love to hate, but are vehemently intolerant to those not of like-mind; thus the phrasing “intolerantly tolerant” is not an attempt at oxymoronic satire, but it’s definitively accurate and ideologically concise.

It’s worthy of mention that channel-surfing-couch-potatoes are not alone in their susceptibility to contagious mind viruses; although pushing the power button is an effective measure of limiting exposure (a turned-off TV is a turned-on mind). The perversion of morality, the subversion of identity and the diversion of truth is venomously spewed in our classrooms and churches. The intolerant ones have sunk their fangs into the hearts of the educational system, and effectively pumped poisonous propaganda into the minds of our children. The congregations have witnessed the progressive influence of the pulpit’s message; and if not persuaded by the root of all evil, undoubtedly swayed by the winds of social change.

Behind those winds of social change lie the criteria for political correctness. Under the guise of political correctness, white pride has been reduced to white guilt, while non-white pride has contrarily become an accepted social entitlement. Is this not an overtly obvious example of a present-day social inequality; or just an added benefit of white privilege? If discrimination is politically correct, then is political correctness socially wrong?

In actuality, the term political correctness is a classic example of Orwellian doublespeak, sanctioned by those whose agenda is reliant upon cultural change. Bucking the establishment’s political correctness is often met with slanderous insults designed at character defamation (if your character is flawed, then so is your argument). Those who oppose the intolerant one’s social wrongness are chastised as societal misfits. If the branded misfits were so ideologically inferior, why the barrage of immature ad hominem attacks? Would intellectual discourse lacking insulting lingo be a more respected way of promoting tolerance?

The intolerant ones place such emphasis on name-calling due in part to their belief that words effectuate change and justify actions. For example, recently on a social networking site, I read through several posts on a thread regarding a black basketball player who went into the crowd and pushed a fan for allegedly yelling remarks with racial overtones. Oddly, the majority of the commenters supported the ball player’s actions. Not only were the majority supportive of his actions, but many were advocates of more harsh repercussions. Comments like, “If he used the N-word, the player should have knocked his teeth down his throat and not been suspended.”, “Look at the instigating hag sitting next to him. I would have knocked her ass out!”, and “I’m not even a basketball fan, but I wish the player would have just punched the old fart instead of pushing him.”

Apparently, several compassionate white commenters assumed the role of speaking for their black brethren: “The n-word is the worst word in our language. Nobody should ever utter such vile to a human being. Whites have no idea how it feels to be called that word. Nothing compares to it!”, “Whites continue to oppress blacks on a daily basis as is evident with acts such as this”, and “Here is proof that redneck racists still exist.” And where would tolerance be without a little hypocrisy; “How dare that white trash idiot call someone the n-word!”

After the smoking keyboards cooled, it was determined that the fan didn’t use the “n-word” after all. He allegedly yelled, “Go back to Africa!” One would speculate that at the player’s current competitive level, he has heard every insult in the book from unruly fans. For a phrase to instigate such fury, apparently Africa is a godforsaken place that should not be wished upon friend nor foe.

The WORDS of the fan earned him a ban from attending future games. The ACTIONS of the player resulted in a three game suspension. To quote a commenter whose post received over thirty likes, “He should’ve knocked the old man out for three more games!!!” Really? Is this the kind of rhetoric sheltered by the umbrella of tolerance - a socio-evolutionary stairway for “knockout game” amnesty?

I thought it only appropriate to reply with a hypothetical question of my own. “What if the ball player had been white and a black fan in the crowd yelled, ‘Go back to Europe!’ Would you have the same opinion? Are racial double standards a social norm in America?” My question was able to muster one comment on the popular thread; that from a white man who only needed one word for his reply: “Racist!” I suppose I should have expected the obvious.
