Peak Racism and Stupidity

From Instapundit:

 

THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A PATHETIC, ATTENTION-SEEKING IDIOT WHO DOESN’T CARE ABOUT FACTS: Phoenix restaurant says this is a photo of coal miners. But I see offensive blackface. “Fact: The photograph shows coal miners’ faces covered in soot. The context of the photograph is not the issue.”

It’s not an issue because — let me repeat myself — you’re a pathetic attention-seeing idiot who doesn’t care about facts.

“At the downtown Phoenix restaurant, my concern that the photograph of men in blackface was a threat to me and my face and voice were ignored.”

Your concern deserved to be ignored because — let’s be clear here — it’s a really stupid concern, born of a deep desire to feel important and offended and powerful.

“The operators of that downtown restaurant can choose to take the photograph down, leave it up or create a title card with an intention statement. No matter their decision, I think the photograph should be taken down — sacrificing one image for the greater good.”

Making you feel more powerful isn’t “the greater good.” In fact, empowering people who are, let’s be clear again, pathetic attention-seeking idiots who don’t care about the facts and are desperate to find something to be offended about, is horribly destructive to society.

And while we’re at it, your desire to ignore the “context” ignores these men’s lives, their sacrifice, and their suffering to superimpose your own pathetic, attention-seeking idiocy, erasing their lived experience in support of your own momentary striving for importance. It’s patronizing and, dare I say, privileged cultural appropriation. Apologize at once.

Go here to comment.  Go here to read the opinion piece by idiot Raashad Thomas.  This was a twofer for this Leftist:  an opportunity to express his anti-White racism and his double hatred for the White working class.  Virulent racism, and hatred for workers of the wrong skin color, is alive and well on the Left in this country.  I am glad the comments on the original article raked him over the coals.  My sainted Dad used to come home from the factory where he worked pretty dirty.  He never looked better to me.

I can’t believe it’s not an SNL skit. It’s actually real.

His schooling indicates he’s been wasting his time and been given positive feedback from authority figures for being a public nuisance.

Here’s the man’s Linked-in. His time in the Air Force (21 months) was oddly abbreviated. Disciplinary problem, perhaps? I’m getting the impression from reading his personal statements of someone who indulges in grandiose hoo-ha because the reality of his life (a mundane job at an agency which has weak operational measures of performance and engages in expendable activities alongside a history of personal failures) is incongruent with his self-understanding.

Triple threat– they’re dead, so they can’t defend themselves.

Disrespect for the heroes who had the guts to sacrifice themselves for their families. Yes, and they died of black lung disease, they and the mules who served them. What does this twerp know of sacrifice and responsibility? Next, he will be writing his memoirs from a prison cot and damned fools will be canonizing him.

Just when you think we have reached a new high in stupidity, there is this.

I’ve said it before on Dave G’s site, I’ll say it again here: We’ve reached the point where the demand for racism has overtaken the supply.
