Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said that highways are racist. Who knew? But then who knew that classical music, “Jingle Bells,” peanut butter and jelly, the Declaration of Independence, Darth Vader, chopsticks, mathematics, dress codes, Peter Pan, Dr. Seuss, tipping, and the food pyramid were also racist. I could go on and on. And on.
You see, in order for the race hustlers to keep the money flowing in, it’s imperative that you – and especially blacks – be convinced that you and they are living in a “systemically racist” society. And to be sure, they figure it out. Some of the richest people in the country (LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, the Obamas, and a host of other black kazillionaires) have to “‘splain” it to the brothers. But like so many things, in order to keep the good times and the money machine well oiled, you can’t stop spewing hyperbole. So pretty soon, everything, including a white cop killing a black teenager in order to stop her from stabbing another black teenager to death, will also be racist. The city will settle with the black teenager’s family for untold millions, and the money train will keep rolling.
Let me suggest a few things that are indeed racist at their core but don’t accomplish the race hustlers’ goals. The creation of black congressional districts is as racist as the purposeful creation of white congressional districts because, after all, aren’t the latter “communities of interest”? Any “affirmative action” program that, by definition, provides advantages to people because of their race, is nothing more than reverse discrimination and is thus racist at its core. And why Asian Americans aren’t marching on the Capitol, I don’t know. Being rejected by a college because of one’s race IS RACIST! Yet God only knows how many thousands of Asians suffer that experience every year. Another textbook example of racism is any group whose membership is determined solely on the basis of race. A couple of these groups come to mind. The Congressional Black and the Congressional Hispanic Caucuses are as racist as any whites-only country club. Year after year, when the Republicans held the majority and could write the rules for the next Congress, I would ask my colleagues to abandon this racist policy. Here is my 2007 letter:
As you might expect, no reply was ever received, and certainly, no such rule was ever adopted.
These are examples of actual, real “systemic racism.” We have built them into the laws of the land – and into the traditions of the United States Congress. And then there are behaviors we tolerate and even laud that drive us farther and farther apart along racial lines. Every time fantastically rich and successful black figures in politics or entertainment, or sports or business, express their hatred for white America, even as they prosper, they are not only being racist but hateful and ungrateful toward the country that helped them prosper – and they should be condemned as such. Want to bet when that will happen?
The brilliant economist and writer Thomas Sowell is widely recognized as one of the best in the business for delivering profoundly devastating observations on matters of race and culture. He once opined that “the word ‘racism’ is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything – and demanding evidence makes you a racist.”
I believe there is less real racism directed towards blacks in America than at any time in the nation’s history. What the hell more can attest to that than the fact that a black man was twice elected to the office of President of the United States? Perhaps we haven’t reached the laudable goal of a totally color-blind society advocated by Martin Luther King, but we are hindered in that accomplishment by race baiters and race hustlers whose rice bowl depends on slathering the racism ketchup on everything imaginable.
It has been noted that the demand for racism is far outstripping the supply.

Ssshhhhh, don’t speak too loud. Would hate to burst the regressives bubble. If anyone were to look at who has written and passed the racist legislation, the left would be wearing so mud.
Oops, should read “so MUCH mud”.
Tom Has a heart of a True and a patriotic American.
Tom stands up for you and I. I wish. I truly wish he could be the man. Governor? Senator? President? Secretary of common sense?
I used to follow Tom Tancredo when he was Governor.. Too bad he got into trouble with the woke crowd before they knew they were woke.. The remark was ,when he was asked about when he noticed that crime figures were going down and why was that? He replied the crime figures went down after abortion was made legal.. The woke sob sisters could not take it and he was soon voted out and now Colorado is a Blue State where the majority of auto accidents are DUI from legalized Marijuana intoxication.
We desperately need Trump back!!
I was born and raised in the north eastern part o the USA, particularly New York state, I was taught very early that to hate or distrust or inherently dislike anyone on account of the color of their skin was wrong, plain and simple, wrong, end of discussion.
I have never hated someone simply on account of their skin color, why would I?? What is it that seems to be the big issue of skin color, we get tanned in the summer and get whiter in the colder months, so what?? What’s the big issue, I have never been of the mindset to outright “HATE” someone because of skin color, my drill instructor in the U.S. Marine corp. would not tolerate anything of racist nature in our ranks, and his reasoning was simply this, he told us in life in general and in the U.S. Marine Corp, there is no nigger nor whitey nor any other racist intention, he told us the word nigger had nothing to do with color, he was adamant on the face that the word nigger was sourly implied on your attitude and character or behavior, he said its got nothing to do with black or white or whatever he told us right up front it has to do 100% with attitude and behavior, nothing else, so black or white or anything else in between its not the color of your skin it’s how you behave and comport and act in the public venue that marks you as a nigger or not, Chirrs Rock did a skit that was labeled ” nigga’s got to go” and if you’ve never heard it I suggest you listen, because in the truth and reality and no BS involved with it all we are all simply human and how we act is the end all of it, no other way around it, if you think for one minute the your far out ideal is the truth of it and were all wrong I submit to you a “twilight zone ” moment, YOU’RE WRONG, stop being the asshole bought bad paid for by the race war-mongers who keep you down and in the gutter via their B.S. propaganda, thing for one minute, “Goebbels” Hitler propaganda minister convinced an entire nation of thousands to believe the fact the the “JEWS ” were the problem in all of Germany and that they we the reason all of Germanys problems were brought about an came to be, seriously what a crock of shit, and you are walking the same path down that same road to the utter destruction of your own soul and race just like they did by buying into he big lie of propaganda and false hoods of those whom would be your rulers… how about we all start thinking for ourselves and get our heads and ass’s wired on straight and work together and take control of our nation and our lives instead of letting people like “AL Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, ” and others like them spew the lies and make billions for themselves while making us turn on each other just to fill their coffers of cash on demand???????? We have an movement now called “ANTIFA” well in the English language that would say to me to be ain’t anything fascist, then how the hell is it they do just about everything the fascist movement of Hitler did with respect o burning, raping, pillaging, stealing, trashing and ruing in things that they think are wrong in their eyes, well if you “ANTI” something that means your against doesn’t it?? Well then how the hell can you do the things that you do and say you’re against them things while you doing them??? Hello!!!!
If you want change then you have to change the system from within, it will never work from the outside, they will label you terrorist, evil doers, rabble rousers, rebels, anything and everything they can to discredit you in the public’s eyes, I know it’s not and easy thing to do what we need to do within the confines of the established forum, but anything else comes off and rebellion and until the time for real rebellion is at hand that the last thing you want or bleed to bring about you case and cause to the powers that be to bring about the change you seek don’t be fools be smart and use the system that is set up to your advantage as it stands, please this is the way to bring about real change in the long term, my brothers and my friends, I hear you , I weep with you and for you in this time of confusion and upheaval but it has to be done in a proper fashion or else it’s all out war all over again and we do not need that until it’s to a point of no other course…

The advancement of “racism “ is a tool perpetrated by greedy politicians and supported by ignorance and an underlying human condition for tribalism. The only answer to this ongoing problem is that the truth will make you free if we make a concerted effort to learn and accept the truth. The media can help make that truth known, but so far, it has failed.
I prefer to call them race racketeers. I like the alliteration.
Truth??? We can’t stand the truth. It’s too hard for us to understand that all people are NOT equal. ALL people are not worthy of respect. We have only the opportunities we take advantage of. We are responsible for OUR actions. I am NOT my brother’ keeper…and I certainly didn’t sign on with our government to PAY to be my brother’s keeper.
