Racial Fairy Tale or Nightmare? Democratic Chickens Coming Home to Roost

Hillary Clinton has argued that voters should choose her because she is more "experienced" than Obama, but according to multicultural rhetoric, such claims (like the claim to be "more qualified") are merely racist code phrases.

Bill Clinton on Monday accused Barack Obama of fudging his early position on the Iraq war, and then said, "This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen." The comment provoked criticism from black leaders and Obama supporters.
— Quoted passage added by AOL to "Black Leaders Question Clinton Remarks", New York Times, Jan 12, 2008.

New York Times reporters Carl Hulse and Patrick Healy led their January 12 story,

The Clinton campaign moved Friday to try to quell a potentially damaging reaction to recent comments by Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton that have drawn criticism from African-Americans just as the presidential primary campaign reached Southern states with significant numbers of black voters.

In a call on Friday to Al Sharpton's nationally syndicated talk radio show, Mr. Clinton said that his "fairy tale" comment on Monday about Senator Barack Obama's position on the Iraq war was being misconstrued, and that he was talking only about the war, not about Mr. Obama's overarching message or his drive to be the first black president.

"There's nothing fairy tale about his campaign," Mr. Clinton said. "It's real, strong, and he might win."

But of course the impeached former president was fudging, since the truth is unspeakable, to wit, that Barack Obama's entire campaign is an affirmative action fairy tale.

The Clintons have also caught heat from blacks over Hillary's statement that, as the AP phrases it, Martin Luther King's "dream of racial equality was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964." That's true, of course, but blasphemous, due to its suggestion that all racial good things have not flowed directly from the will of St. Martin.

AP's Beth Fouhy, et al.: "Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton suggested Sunday that Barack Obama's campaign had injected racial tension into the presidential contest, saying he had distorted for political gain her comments about Martin Luther King's role in the civil rights movement."

With the South Carolina primary looming on January 26, both Clintons spent much of last week in intensive damage control, with Bill calling in to black radio talk shows, and Hillary appearing on Meet the Press, hosted by Tim Russert, longtime chief of staff to the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

Beth Fouhy, et al.: "‘This is an unfortunate story line the Obama campaign has pushed very successfully,' the former first lady said in a spirited appearance on NBC's Meet the Press. ‘I don't think this campaign is about gender, and I sure hope it's not about race.'"

But of course the campaign is about "gender" (sex) and race. What else could it possibly be about?

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are both leftwing Democrats. They both rabidly support affirmative action and multiculturalism (AA/MC), which form the entire foundation of Obama's political career. (And what of Hillary, you ask? Hillary Clinton's entire political career is based on having married a privileged white male.) Affirmative action was originally the 1960s' demand that qualified whites be racially discriminated against in competition for certain scarce goods (jobs, admissions to selective universities, and contracts let by public agencies), and that said scarce goods instead be given to unqualified blacks.

Affirmative action was later extended to the political realm: Just as the 1964 U.S. Civil Rights act was reinterpreted by Justice Department officials and the federal courts to not simply guarantee equal opportunity (non-discrimination against blacks), but turning the Act's explicit wording upside down, to engage in aggressive racial discrimination against whites, the 1965 Voting Rights Act was reinterpreted by the same parties such that rather than guaranteeing blacks the franchise, it guaranteed them rigged elections.

As Arch Puddington persuasively argued in Commentary, circa 1990, multiculturalism, or what I call hate studies (black studies, women's studies, gay studies, Hispanic studies, etc.) exists to rationalize affirmative action.

I would go beyond Puddington. Multiculturalism was developed by Marxists to destroy liberal democracy, the market economy, and the rule of law, and replace them with a totalitarian dictatorship. Institutionalized sexual and racial hatred are for Marxists means towards that end.

Multiculturalism is not a philosophy or a science, but rather an attitude for guiding revolutionary political struggle. All words and acts must be geared towards aiding privileged identities. (This is not to be confused with identity politics. Identity politics would simply benefit members of certain groups, but in multiculturalism, members of those same groups are enemies, if they do not embrace the revolutionary struggle. Thus, a privileged white heterosexual male — e.g., Bill Clinton — who embraces the struggle can be more of an ally than a black — e.g., Clarence Thomas — who opposes it.)

Since inequality is the one sure thing about human groups (sex, race, etc.), and hate studies all insist, the facts be damned, that all human groups are equal, and that only discrimination can explain inequality, multicultural "scholarship" consists in the constant production of lies, hoaxes, and hate.

Indeed, while claiming to support equality, tolerance, and compassion, multiculturalists spend all of their energies promoting hatred, intolerance, and inequality. But they play word games that define things such that promoting hatred and discrimination against "privileged white, heterosexual males" doesn't count as hatred and discrimination. In practice, actual privileged white, heterosexual males almost all support AA/MC, while the white men whom the multicultural alliance targets are typically working or lower-middle class, though as America becomes less white, the persecution must perforce move up the political food chain.

Just as well-to-do whites who supported AA/MC never thought they would suffer because of it, so too the privileged politicians who supported this reign of hatred never thought they would suffer under its whip. It was supposed to help Democrats demagogue against those "racist" Republicans.

For instance, during the 1993 New York City mayoral campaign pitting black socialist incumbent David Dinkins in a rematch against white liberal Republican challenger Rudolph Giuliani, one leading Democrat condemned white New York City voters, saying, many white voters are "still too unwilling to vote for people who are different than we are."

That leading Democrat was one Bill Clinton, then president.

Like almost all talk about race in America, especially by socialists/multiculturalists, President Clinton's statement must be translated out of its racial code. Since over 90 percent of black voters had voted for Dinkins in 1989, while over 30 percent of white voters had crossed racial lines by voting for him rather than Giuliani, in fact it was black voters who were "still too unwilling to vote for people who are different than we are," and who thus needed to overcome their racism. But in multicultural rhetoric, selfish, racist speech and actions by blacks are virtuous, while any self-interested behavior on the part of whites is "racist."

Early in President Clinton's second term in office, he set up a phony, rigged "national dialogue on race." Like all "dialogues" that white leftists and black racists call for, it was to be a monologue. After initially choosing only Democratic shills for his panel, which was chaired by black historian and race hoaxer John Hope Franklin, for one episode Clinton added a token critic of affirmative action, neo-conservative scholar, Abigail Thernstrom, for the purpose of harassing and humiliating her on live, national TV, as a proxy for all white critics of affirmative action.

(Clinton also thereby got a measure of personal revenge against Thernstrom, who had just co-authored, with husband Stephan, the seminal study, America in Black & White. According to the Thernstroms, Clinton had broken the law, by having his aides, Christopher Edley and George Stephanopolous, violate Supreme Court decisions limiting affirmative action.)

Affirmative action is unconstitutional, in violating the 14^th Amendment. It is illegal, in that it violates the 1964 U.S. Civil Rights Act. And it is a moral outrage. But for most blacks, as for their white patrons, support for affirmative action is a political and moral litmus test. Any white who fails that test is for them a "racist" and irredeemably evil. (I am aware that opinion polls have shown a majority of blacks nationally opposing affirmative action. Other opinion polls show almost all whites saying that they have no problem with a black family moving in next door. The one finding is as incredible as the other.)

And affirmative action is a package deal that includes, among other things, never criticizing blacks, excepting those few blacks who oppose affirmative action. One of the terms of the deal is that any and all criticism of blacks by whites, or their even hinting at the existence of shortcomings or pathologies of "authentic" blacks (i.e., blacks that support affirmative action) for which they do not fault "white racism" is guilty of racism.

Thus, according to the package deal, which Bill Clinton long ago signed off on, the only thing for white voters who don't want to be guilty of racism to do, is to vote for Obama in the coming primaries.

And as the Great Florida Disenfranchisement Hoax of 2000 showed, if whites do not vote as blacks demand, blacks will invent a race hoax, and with their white allies, seek to steal the election.

Hillary's Race Problem

Hillary Clinton has argued that voters should choose her because she is more "experienced" than Obama, but according to multicultural rhetoric, such claims (like the claim to be "more qualified") are merely racist code phrases. Besides, she doesn't have more experience! Obama ran in his first election in 1996, when he was elected to the Illinois State Senate. Clinton ran in and won her first election for U.S. Senate in 2000. When she says she is more "experienced," she is either lying outright, or counting her time as Arkansas' and America's First Lady. But that's nonsense. First Lady is not an elected post, or any post. Clinton was simply the wife of a privileged white male.

Besides, what was her experience as First Lady? Was it the experience of Travelgate, in which she engineered the malicious prosecution of White House Travel Office director Billy Dale, which ruined him financially, just so she could turn the office into a cash cow for her friends from Arkansas, socialist TV producer Harry Thomason.

Or Filegate, wherein Hillary collected and kept FBI files on hundreds of Republican officials and staffers whom she considered political enemies?

Or conspiracy to obstruct justice, when she had her chief of staff, Maggie Williams, go into the office of presidential counsel (and her old Arkansas law partner) Vince Foster, who had just committed suicide, to illegally remove files?

No, the "experience" issue is not in Hillary Clinton's favor.

Hillary Clinton has spent her life supporting anti-white racism. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

And yet, there is a separate racial issue involving blacks' attitude towards well-to-do, assertive white women. While the political marriage of white, middle and upper-class feminists (most of whom are heterosexual) and middle and upper-class blacks has paid dividends for both groups, when push comes to shove, it is always the white feminists who have to take one for the team.

White women support every racist demand of blacks, and yet, when they show their appreciation of color by falling in love with a black man, instead of welcoming them into the family, black women stare daggers at them. In 1999, I caught the standup routine in a Manhattan club of a white comedienne, who recalled when she had had a black boyfriend.

"I love black women. You're all so confident. You know what you think and what you want . . . and Lordy, Lordy, do you hate me!"

The typical white feminist lacks such insight.

I first saw such hostility in 1978, at SUNY Stony Brook. While my beautiful Jewish history professor was lecturing or aggressively engaging the class in discussions, a group of three black girls who sat near me would mutter hostilely about her among themselves.

In April 1989, a majority-black (the other members were Hispanics) gang beat a young investment banker, who came to be known as "the Central Park Jogger," from head to toe, while sexually fondling her. (One attacker, Matias Reyes, raped her either then, or after the rest of the gang had left.) Rather than show compassion for the victim, who had lost 75 percent of her blood, had spent weeks in a coma, and never fully recovered, black New Yorkers embraced her attackers as victim/heroes, and demonized the white victim. (New York's white elites eventually came around, and granted the confessed attackers an AA bonus, "exonerating" them.

As Vincent Bugliosi wrote in Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O. J. Simpson Got Away With Murder, prior to the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial, in mock juries, black women were uniformly hostile towards prosecutor Marcia Clark, a youngish, attractive, aggressive white feminist. But you couldn’t tell Clark that. Like most white feminists, she was convinced that she knew blacks, and enjoyed an easy rapport with them.

And when black women across the country theatrically celebrated Simpson's acquittal by a racist, black-dominated jury, they were also celebrating the murder of his estranged wife Nicole Brown-Simpson. (Poor Ron Goldman. O.J. murdered him, too, but outside of his family, no one seemed to care.)

In 2000, when a black-dominated group of young men ran amok in Central Park following the Puerto Rican Day Parade, sexually molesting (and in one case manually raping) largely white women, the media misrepresented the episode, as if the attackers had mostly been Hispanic, and the victims mostly black and Hispanic. Since the majority of the NYPD (which had been explicitly ordered to keep their hands off minority males), then consisted of white men, white feminists dutifully attacked it instead of the black assailants. But no blacks expressed sympathy for the white victims.

And of course, in 2006, when prostitute/stripper Crystal Gail Mangum made transparently ridiculous, mutually contradictory and ever-changing charges against innocent, white Duke lacrosse players, white feminists across the country leapt to her defense, and heaped contempt on the three white men who were the real victims.

The socialist media and the feminists even made a point of suppressing the fact that women in Duke's Durham, NC home had little to fear from white men, but that black men targeted white coeds for rape.

According to a March, 2006 news story from just short of two weeks after Mangum made the fraudulent charges against the white men, at which point Durham was the site of a campaign persecuting all of Duke's white men lacrosse players, "‘The students need to realize they live in a community, and people are going to talk back if they do something, or potentially do something, that is disrespectful to women,' said Faulkner Fox, a visiting instructor in the English department and one of the organizers of the candlelight vigil."

"Organizers at the candlelight vigil and the ‘wake-up call' at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. [where some of the white lacrosse players lived, and where Mangum situated her hoax], said the demonstrations were acts of support for the black exotic dancer . . ."

Imagine a white feminist saying anything like that about black men. (And imagine black women organizing protests on behalf of white women victimized by black men.) It seems like the more white feminists support black men, the more black men target them.

Hillary Clinton thinks that she is blacks' friend, but they are not her friends.

Hillary can't win. If she loses the nomination to Obama, she loses everything she has hoped and planned for, virtually her entire adult life. And yet, if she beats him, her victory may prove to be pyrrhic. Blacks are already insisting that Clinton only beat Obama in New Hampshire due to racism (i.e., that "racist" whites lied to pollsters). Next to come: That Hillary conspired to rig the voting machines (this rumor is already making the rounds among white leftists) to change Obama votes to Clinton votes. Blacks were never going to vote for her in the primaries anyway (they lied to reporters about being "undecided," and to pollsters about supporting Clinton), and will use the "racism" of the primary campaign to rationalize sitting out the general election, which could well lose it for her.

Poor Hillary. In the words of Alan Jay Lerner, "How simply frightful! How humiliating! How . . . delightful!"
