Comments on: Al Sharpton: The Worst Kind of Hypocrite http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2007/05/16/al-sharpton-the-worst-kind-of-hypocrite/ Conservative and Libertarian Intellectual Philosophy and Politics Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:00:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Patrick Mulligan http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2007/05/16/al-sharpton-the-worst-kind-of-hypocrite/comment-page-1/#comment-51727 Patrick Mulligan Thu, 17 May 2007 10:40:28 +0000 http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2007/05/16/al-sharpton-the-worst-kind-of-hypocrite/#comment-51727 The double standard is unreal. To give Al Sharpton any credibility would be equivalent to praising David Duke as a "white rights" hero. The only difference being that David Duke has never said anything even close to as overtly racist as Al Sharpton has. You can't say "nappy", let alone the other "n" word, nor "spic" or "ching chong", but it's perfectly okay to say "honkey" (a derogatory term used to describe Hungarian and slavic white immigrants for years before it was popularized in the 1960's by black "civil rights leaders" as an alternative to "nigger"), Mick, Wop, "white boy", cracker, etc. Let's take a real-life example. I'm watching re-runs of Everybody Loves Raymond the other day. During the episode, our title character is volunteering at a hospital. After convincing an old black woman to take her medicine, the woman responds by calling Raymond a "tricky, tricky white boy". Imagine, will you please, a sitcom scene in which an old white woman called a middle aged black man a "tricky, tricky Negro", let alone "nigger" or, God forbid, "Nappy headed black boy". There would be outrage at this grave social injustice. That this Newspeak PC double standard has made its way into even such benign entertainment, and that nobody recognizes any double standard, let alone a social injustice, in this situation, is indicative of how ingrained and indoctrinated into the American subconscious it has become. Contrast that with Michael Richards and Don Imus incidents. I'm just wondering how long it's going to be before people finally wake up and go, "Hey, the emperor has no clothes!"

Answers refer to our president, and other southerners as well, with offensive slangs such as a hicks, rednecks, sister/brother lovers, cousin kissing, inbred, backward, hayseed, etc. Those tolorent, freedom loving, human activists, don't draw a breath before referring to christians as bible-thumping sheeple, brain dead, intolorent, uneducated fools. Being a southern conservative christian who supports our president, I view these remarks as a childish attempt to discredit a group of people by drawing on tired stereotypes. When I asked how they justified their comments and attitudes, I was told that I was not in a 'protected group.' This led to more questions and lots of frowning on my part. Is a 'protected group' the same as an 'endangered species?' Is there an official list? If so, who maintains this list, where do I find a copy, and what is the criteria for making protected status? Perhaps going over 'protected status requests' is part of Sharpton's job description as Civil Rights Leader, and he has a secret check sheet that the unprotected aren't allowed to see. What do we already know about these special groups? What double standards exist openly, in the media or on TV that are easy to point to? We know that we're not supposed to cast any negative clouds over black people. Journalist are 'stereotyping' black males when they report that a black male robbed a liquer store, even if the assailant was black and did in fact rob said liquer store, they shouldn't mention it. Black women are allowed to participate in Miss America, but they also have Miss Black America which white women, for obvious reasons, are permitted to join. Having a Miss White America, however, is considered racist and WRONG. Black entertainers and black rappers (notice I seperated the two) demanded equal time on MTV. I challenge anyone to surf that way at least 20 times a day and report on how many times they caught a white artist performing. Plus, we have BET--Black Entertainment TV. However, how would WET go over? I think I'm seeing a pattern here. Liberals on the politics boards at Yahoo!
