The Last Refuge Of The Race Hustlers
"Color Blind Racism" was the title of a recent article in the Henry Louis Gates, Jr. on-line publication, The Root. If you recall, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. last appeared on this blog for his unsubstantiated charge of racism against a policeman for following protocol, and The Root was last seen here for its list of blacks whom they would like to see erased from history. The list was a who's who of murders, cannibals and despicable people, and included both Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and right wing black politician Alan Keyes.
So what is "color blind racism?" According to The Root, it is "a racial ideology that expresses itself in seemingly nonracial terms. As such, it is most practiced by people who never see themselves outside their own myopic worldview. " What that means in practice is a redefinition of racism from its actual meaning, a belief that a particular race is inherently inferior, into a wholly new arena, where, mirabile dictu, criticism directed towards blacks, and indeed, the mere mention of any inconvenient fact, is inherently racist. The "Orwellian term, 'color blind racism.'" is, as James Taranto at the WSJ describes it, "the pithiest summation we've ever encountered of the absurdity of contemporary left-liberal racial dogma."
