Wanted: Ventriloquist. Apply at NAACP
Melanie Hunter reports at CNSNews.com:
Democratic strategist Angela Rye in an appearance on MSNBC’s "PoliticsNation" on Friday accused Republicans of trying to impeach President Barack Obama, because he’s "black in the White House."
Her attack is unfortunate. Using unfounded accusations of racism to protect Obama, or any president, itself smacks of racism. It relies on skin color to protect a privileged politician from legitimate critique. It is a form of cultural fascism.
Let us shout it from the mountain top: Red and yellow, black and white, questioning authority is pleasant in His sight.
This is what freedom is about. It is what free-thinking people do.
It's humane, it's Godly, and it expresses the unalienable expectation, embedded by the Creator, that human beings should think for themselves and rise up against oppression, no matter the skin tone of the oppressor.
This is especially the case in our constitutional republic, where the chief executive is hired by the people and can be fired by the people. He answers to us, we do not answer to him.
Meanwhile, here is a case for the discussion of impeachment.
Also, in this video, NAACP member William Barber refuses to apologize for his bigoted "ventriloquist" attack on black Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.
In addition, as this same video documents, after answering "yes" to the question, "Do you think the Tea Party is racist?", marchers at a protest in North Carolina last weekend were not able to provide a single example to support their accusation.
Maybe they needed a ventriloquist.
