New Black Panther Leader: A Black Man Can't Be a Racist
2010-07-20
The latest controversy occurred on Fox News yesterday, when Malik Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, made this statement:
A black man really -- or a black leader -- cannot be a racist. You cannot take the slave who takes the whip from the slave master and begins beating the slave master -- you cannot call the slave a reverse racist.

White people have not experienced racism, Jim Crow, and terrorism the way my people have. I have the right to use different language.

#15  Spike lee was saying this sort of thing back, oh, right before his movies started tanking in the box office and he was forced back into doing commercials.

#14  > because the handing out of Government goodies is a zero-sum game

Oh no its not. It's vastly net negative as what's taxed to fund the entitled is EXTERMELY economically damaging.

#13  So shabazz, as long as black thugs outside of voting places don't use whips, but just batons, its all peachy keen?
------
There are two kinds of racism: positive and negative. Negative racism is when a person is put down and oppressed because of their skin color. That is the kind of racism Shabazz talks about. Positive racism is when a person is held up, defended, buttered up, praised, and rewarded because of their skin color. Shabazz, and all liberals, deny this is racism because it isn't negative.

However, when it comes to Government goodies, positive racism (the supposed good kind) implies and generates negative racism (the bad kind), because the handing out of Government goodies is a zero-sum game due to the goodies being limited. Thus, to give a dollar to help a black man inevitably denies a dollar to help anyone else.

If you don't believe Positive racism does not lead to negative racism, see how they react to white kids being told the achievements of the white race, in those terms, as black kids are told the achievements of the black race. You'll find them screaming their objections pretty quickly.

#11  Look, the only way any rabble rouser in any culture at any point in history can be successful is to be perceived as infallable. Shabazz is no different, if not AAA league and unimaginative.

#9  Shabazz is a hate-filled grievance-mongering racist shitbucket.

#5  And by the way, Malik, my wife lost a job she'd been doing for two years to a person who had never done it before, but happened to have the preferred skin tone. Whaddaya call that?

#4  OK, if it makes you feel better, I'll concede your definition for the Eubonics-speakers.

What do you call it when blacks judge all whites by the color of their skin? Anti-white retribution? It's gotta have a name.

#3  If Malik Shabazz's slave master whips Shabazz, then by all means, he has right to take it from him and whip back. Was not aware there are slave masters, I thought slavery was abolished 150 years ago.

Reverse racism? No such a thing. Racism plain and simple.

#2  This is part and parcel of the Newspeak definition of "racism" which can only refer to anti-black bigotry.

Also: anti-black or hispanic discrimination = bad
anti-white, indian, or oriental discrimination = good

Because, you know, South and East Asians value education and excel in business even though they are immigrant outsiders. There MUST be something unfair about that!

In Obamaland it's all about results now, not opportunity.
