The Anchoress

Gerald has some serious thoughts about racism inspired by the coverage of the execution of Tookie Williams.

Condi Rice, Colin Powell….they are called “Oreo” (and much worse, by lefties like Harry Belafonte)…”Tookie” Williams - the great hero.

Or take rap/hip hop. Liberals usually pee themselves at the slightest notion of what they perceive to be sexism. But, the most vile spoutings of rappers, oh that’s authentic black culture one must suck up to. Liberal racial policies are supremely racist by their very condescension - in essence it’s saying “you’re black, so you have to be brutes” and “we cannot expect anything else.” Limo libs have been viewing black men of that sort as exotic brutish creatures of sorts for decades - just think of famed conductor (can’t stand his conducting) Leonard Bernstein, who threw Black Panther parties in Manhattan - a phenomenon that Tom Wolfe famously referred to as “Revolutionary chic”.

You’ll want to read the whole thing.

Right Wing News brings us A Tookie/Jesus Comparison including a picture which just about sums things up. The picture touches on something I thought of while listening to the Tookie coverage: Here is Randi Rhodes on Air America:

“A spoiled child (Bush) is telling us our Social Security isn’t safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here’s your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little b*stard. [audio of gun being cocked].” – A “humor bit” from the Randi Rhodes show

Should we mention that it’s kind of racist to assume that because a black man is executed on death row, and his cause has become a “cause”the black community will riot? Where the cameras are waiting? I think it might be.

Michelle Malkin has - as always - a great round-up.
