Would Barack Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright, still be in public life if Wright were a Caucasian man?
Haha. Fawk no.
NRO: The Scary Legacy of the 2008 Democratic Primary by Victor Davis Hanson
One of the strangest things about the NAACP Wright pseudo-scientific speech on learning, and its enthusiastic CNN coverage and analysis, was the abject racialism of Wright. It was sort of an inverse Bell-Curve presentation, based on assumed DNA differences.
His convoluted explanation of African-American right-brain ‘oral’ culture as more creative, musical, and spontaneous versus European left-brain traditional analysis could never have been given by someone white to that audience without justifiably earning booing and catcalls.
Three comments: this was just the sort of racist ‘genetic’ difference that most Americans learned to shun, now apparently quite acceptable again, and part of the mainstream.
Second, there is no evidence that so-called Europeans could not “rap” or create an oral literature as well as Africans — remember, oral poetry as we know it , began with bards like Homer somewhere in the southeastern Aegean and continued into modern times in the Balkans.
Three, some of the most accomplished speakers of English and analytical thinkers are African-Americans, a fact everyone immediately recognizes from what they read and with whom they speak.
In short, Wright’s speech on black-right brainers, white-left brainers — replete with bogus stereotypes and crude voice imitations — was about as racist as they come and at one time antithetical to what the NAACP was once all about.
Barack Obama was connected to this racist lunatic for 20 years while more sane people would have shunned him in minutes. The fact that the media doesn’t tar and feather Wright tells you just how much they agree with Pastor Racist. Or perhaps they’re simply too afraid to be critical.
(This media saves its righteous indignation for Republicans and conservatives and only on the most important issues. Isn’t that right, George “Macaca” Allen? )
