Hate in the Black Heart

Many a commentator and pundit have pegged a phenomenon of prejudice in the black American heart, whereby white poeple are seen as the enemy who must constantly atone for it's sins against blacks past, present, and future. Berkeley Author and Linguist John McWhorter had written that many blacks, especially those talking heads who have taken it upon themselves to speak for all black people, have decided to never "let whitey off the hook."

From the time that he wakes until the time he goes to bed, he should feel consumed by guilt for being white in a country where whites have historically mistreated and stolen from blacks with impunity.

One of my favorite unapologetic black pugilists, LaShawn Barber, has penned a piece explaining why she feels the unction to criticize black people's often irrational fixation with convicting white people to guilt, and other manipulative racial politicking (like affirmative action), instead of placing blame and attention where it should be - on black people for avoiding the cultural self-critique we really need about education, scandalous crime rates, and family life.

Barber's Post

Although I have to admit that commenting ad-nauseum about race becomes tedious and boring-as-hell to me, and that I often consider racial politics a "ghetto" of current events and politics (because of how low-brow and childish the discussion often becomes), it seems that these issues are forefront in the minds of many people in America and, therefore, from time to time, still need to be fleshed out.

So here's the kicker: race doesn't matter, as long as the system is ABSOLUTELY race-neutral. Nothing more is needed and nothing less is acceptable. Now, go do something interesting instead of dwelling on this crap any more, alright?
