To illustrate the low cognitive ability of professional football players, read up on the responses many NFL players gave after hearing Rush Limbaugh's comment about a certain NFL player's inability to conquer the sport. Some such individuals declared they would never play for Mr. Limbaugh -- citing him as 'racist' for his comment about a specific athlete, disabling Limbaugh from buying a pro-football team.
I'm so disgusted with these imbeciles who cry "racist" every time anybody makes a negative comment about a solitary "black" or "native American" individual. I am so tired of hearing the same old rhetoric about "racial slurs." I appreciate my First Amendment right to free speech, and while any citizen of the United States of America is within his or her rights to call such a comment as Rush Limbaugh's about an inadequate professional athlete "racist," that doesn't make the offended persons in any way an accurate assessor of the comment. If they are so interested in citing racism in the media, they should boycott Essence, JET, and Ebony magazines, as well as BET: Black Entertainment Television. It is entirely hypocritical to expect to have one aboriginal demographic represented as a feature on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine equally as often as "big bad whitey," and then have entire periodicals devoted to that same aboriginal demographic. That is true and deliberate discrimination. It's despicable, a common deviance, and very uncivilized. Does there really need to be a civil rights movement for "the big bad white people," that we may reject this form of apartheid? It's not supposed to be about "taking turns." It's supposed to be about human evolution. If you have excrement in both of your hands, it doesn't matter which one you reach into the cookie jar with; all of the cookies will be made inedible.

Racist Programming: Black in America 2
First off, I'd like to make it very clear that the people who create this the type of programming that aired (and will air) on CNN Primetime on July 22 and 23, 2009, are the type of people who create what is commonly referred to as "racism." There are only two races of homo sapien sapien, and they are 1) the human race, and 2)the sociopathic race. I did cover that particular point in an earlier blog entry, but people tend to learn by repetition, so it probably doesn't hurt that I'm mentioning it again.
I'd like to remind people that black is a color or shade, not a variety of person, as some would have us believe. It is unwise to mention the word African-American either, since Africa is a continent -- not a country -- and very few people have dual-citizenship in an African country and in the United States. In such cases, one would be labelled, for example, a Burkina Fasoan-American, not African-American. Even if someone had triple citizenship, divided amongst two African nations and the United States, an intelligent person would call that person, for example, a Liberian-Ivory Coastman-American, as opposed to African American. (I would like to apologize for any ignorance I showed in any mixing of countries which do not mesh with dual or triple citizenship, or with each other. In my defense, I am not a world-political scientist.)
Furthermore, there are natural-born Africans who don't have dark skin tones, and I am not speaking specifically about those with albinism. Many South African citizens, for example, have fair skin tones.
Additionally, there are a great many non-African people of dark skin tones. Most people don't realize that there are several American aboriginals who have skin that is as dark as that of native African bushmen.
To continue my argument about the "racism" expressed by the makers of the programs entitled "Black in America," how are poverty conditions different for people of differring skin tones? Really. If a fair skinned family's home is demolished by a hurricane or a tornado, how is the experience worse for a darker-skinned family who had the same damage afflicted to their house? I believe anyone who sees the darker-skinned family as being treated more poorly (or less kindly) is probably seeing it that way because they want to see dark-skinned people as victims. That is so pathetic that the word "pathetic" should be typed ONLY after having incorporated the Caps Lock key.
Truthfully, those who exercise their social and political power are morally crippled.
