With The Grog founder John Smoot's "Pet Peeve of the Day: The Double Standard of Diversity and Misguided Activism as a Whole" hot off the press, I will proceed to write a counter article to his race-hating sister-fornicating bigotry.
Alright alright CALM DOWN, that was a bad joke. In due fairness I only find it necessary to write this article to present the other side of what is simultaneously a great necessity and great annoyance in modern American society: political correctness and tolerance. Smoot's article did not say that diversity and racial tolerance were wrong. The objective of the article rather was to say that over-bearing political correctness to the point that the majority is discriminated against and has its legitimate grievance with other races ignored, is wrong. On this point I agree 100%.
We will not refrain from talking about suicide bombers, illegal immigrants, or gangbangers simply because Middle Eastern, Latino, or Black people may feel that we are being callous towards issues that often are "racially aligned". AND LETS BE HONEST ANYWAY: Usually its rich white kids who are the ones who cry "racism" loudest.
I refer you:
Stuff White People Like #101: Be Offended
"Naturally, white people do not get offended by statements directed at white people. In fact, they don’t even have a problem making offensive statements about other white people (ask a white person about “flyover states”). As a rule, white people strongly prefer to get offended on behalf of other people."
Ya we've all been there, gotten that look for saying "black" instead of "African American" or have been called a racist for suggesting that welfare should be reformed to combat those who take advantage of it. The reality is that those people are the most racist of all. It is their minds that instantly make the " welfare = lazy black people " conclusion, not yours, and most of us understand that poverty is a cycle that is hard to get out of and not a racial inclination.
THERE IS HOWEVER real racism in our society that needs to be combated. I am not talking about Neo-Nazis in Alabama, I am talking about as I said, "our society" : the suburban/urban Northeast society.
A lawsuit was recently taken out against my school, the Catholic University of America, by a George Washington University law professor who claimed that the 122 Muslim students at CUA were being discriminated against because the Catholic University of America didn't have sufficient prayer space for them. This non-Muslim man initiated this claim and it has not been backed up by any Muslim students. Not one single Muslim student has complained to University administrators or supported the lawsuit as we would come to learn from the University's President Garvey who sent a school wide email pleading us to stop the racist backlash that resulted from the lawsuit.
Here are 4 of the first 8 comments that can be found on the CUA Tower (campus newspaper) website, to illustrate my point. Note, these are all real comments that can be found at http://www.cuatower.com/news/2011/10/20/university-accused-of-discriminating-against-muslims/:
"Screw them and their devil’s cult and tell them if they wish to pray in the muslim way then go to a mosque or a muslim college."
"I AM SO SICK OF MUSLIMS! I wish they would get the hell out of my Country and go back to where they came from. By the way, I’m Catholic."
"They demand and then cry racism, when they are the most INTOLERANT group of people on the planet. Go back to the middle east if you can’t conform to OUR way of life, you parasites!"
"When you invite the devil in order to keep the heating bill down this what happens. Now rich Muslims will go to work burying the univeristy (error is his) in legal expenses. If you give the devil an inch he will take a mile. Catholics will take a sucker punch for their naive approach to Mohammed’s cult."
Is this more serious than a drunk kid chalking a Swastika on a dorm room? Yes. Were these people sober, thinking, and calculating when they wrote these things? Yes. Is it statistically probable that 4 out of 8 randomly selected comments are the result of mental illness? No.
Whats the message here?
Save us all from the over-bearing, bleeding heart, "if all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail", approach to what YOU ERRONEOUSLY THINK is racial discrimination. That being said, remember: there is real and real nasty racism out there and we all have to make it our personal mission to root it out and destroy it.
American soldiers are dying overseas fighting the hate and evil that killed thousands of innocent people on September 11th. Lets make sure that hate and evil have no place here in the USA . . . and not lose our balls in the process.
