I will read the article, and I want to state that I may have a different opinion after reading it, but to me the takeaway from the entire Stacey Dash thing is,many of the comments sent her way for simply exercising her right to an opinion were vile, offensive, crude, and it doesn’t matter WHAT she looks like they were RACIST. Of course, many black “leaders” say blacks cannot be racist because we don’t have any real power. Hogwash. You can be a racist if all you do is live under a tree and discriminate against someone because they are a different race. Now I’ll read the article and further comment if my opinion changes.
OK, I’ve read the article, and I must say I’m not surprised by the article or many of the comments from it’s readers. The author’s “I come-not-to-bury-Dash-but-to-praise-her” technique is shameless. Bringing up her personal life, her sexual history, calling her a “D-List actress”, all of that had NOTHING to do with the fact that Dash got called just about everything except her Christian name from so-called “tolerant” people. Please tell me, why is it that people like Rush Limbaugh and Michael Moore can have VASTLY different views, but neither will question the “whiteness” of the other, yet black folks who don’t toe the party line are vilified in 50 shades of hate by “their own?” I don’t want to hear about “the struggle” or “Forgetting where you’re from” and such nonsense. Anybody born after 1960 has pretty much grown up in a society where they have NOT had much exposure to industrial-strength racism. (Unless you want to point out the naked racism exhibited by the people who excoriated Dash.) As a black conservative, I know there is a double standard. I expect it and spend a great deal of time pointing it out. But it just galls me that you can point out something as clear as crystal and people just refuse to see it. Racism is racism, whether you agree with the person politically or not.
