• Creeping Conservative Racism Part 2

CONSERVATIVE RACE BAITING NOW COMMON ON FACEBOOK
I hate to have to go after conservatives seemingly all the time, but this kind of CONSERVATIVE racism must stop. The worst offenders are so proud of their work that they attempt to explain it, while quashing the voices of those who warn them about what they're doing to our message by playing the conservative race card.

On Facebook, 'That Guy In The White House' is doing just that. I went to his post with the graphic he made (below) and wrote, "This kind of race baiting damages all conservatives. We should not be using the tactics of the left." (I'm probably paraphrasing myself.)

A short time later he answered my comment BY DELETING IT, and rationalizing his racist graphic this way:

"I have deleted several comments referring to this post as being racist. The problem we have today, is that race can ONLY be brought forward as a weapon against conservatives, when we are called "Racists" for pointing out fiscal issues, socialism, or failed Barack Obama policies. In this case, I will state the obvious, once more. The racism is in Barack Obama's tendency to jump to the defense of people of color in every situation."

So Mr. That Guy is saying that since Obama can do it, so can we. Do you all realize how much this hurts our message? We are the party of COLOR BLINDNESS! Once we start pointing out, "Look! A black guy did that!", we are handing ammunition to the left for them to use against us.

"He did it with Trayvon Martin and his professor friend in the "Beer Summit." He let his true feelings out when he spoke of his grandmother as a "typical white person" and attended a church of Black Liberation Theology. Blacks voted for Barack Obama by approximately 93%. Many admitted they voted for him because he is black. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton led marches over the death of Trayvon Martin." 

And so now Mr. That Guy wants to join in and use the same tactics? We should play the race card like liberals do because liberals can get away with it? Hey, the old media is still the old media, and they can use all of this against us.

It doesn't matter how race focused the other side is. We have to present the COLOR BLIND argument. We must speak out against crime. We must speak out about adults who have children and do not raise them. This was NOT a "hate crime".

This was not about black teens shooting a baby over race! This is about horrible, shocking evil - and to reduce it to conservative racism is the worst possible reaction. To EXPLOIT this murder and use it to attack Obama's political tactics is simply beneath us. Or at least it should be.

I am doubly sickened by Mr. That Guy because after deleting my comments and several others, he blocked myself (and presumably others), disallowing us to respond.

 I have to say, this kind of cowardice is becoming alarming common among conservatives online. When challenged by a fellow conservative to THINK about what they are doing, they delete the comment, block the writer, and move on with - in this case - their racism online.

And it's got to stop. -Jz
