Crazed Comments From Readers on Debbie Schlussel’s Web Site

Here are a couple of comments that I found on a Web site for Debbie Schlussel, a fellow blogger. Now, I understand reader comments do not necessarily reflect the views of the blogger (a lot of times they do), but still I found a couple of comments interesting.

What I would give, to have one WHITE sports reporter that’s allowed to be even half as racist as nine out of every ten black ones are,on ESPN,magazine or newspaper, and gets to keep his job,no matter how anti-black he may be.
WHAT “Racism”?WHAT “Injustice”?WHAT “Oppression”?
MY TAKE: So, this reader apparently yearns for white racist sports writers because “nine out of every ten black ones are, on ESPN, magazine or newspaper, and gets to keep his job, no matter how anti-black he may be.” First, the comment is sexist because it seems to imply that women can’t be sports writers. Second, to say that nine out of every 10 blacks sports writers are racist is just plain stupid.

With affirmative action you can never state the obvious. If someone sucks they suck. It is more racist than straightforward racism. It is more racist to not openly criticize someone because of their particular race. This perverted mindset of liberals to codify minorities hides a hidden guilt that they don’t see minorities as their equals. Liberals ignore the obvious until it gets to a melting point and then go into denial it ever happened.KING HUSSEIN COBRAMA has benefited from this and now treats the nation and the media like its Bi**h. He knows he doesn’t have to answer questions and is so arrogant he will be given rationalizations for all his actions by this same media. All the questions about his past wont have to be answered because the liberal media has made a deliberate choice to use his presidency as an apology to blacks for slavery.

MY TAKE: On the surface, the first paragraph seems to make sense. But, the problem is that many conservative whites view any successful black as an affirmative action hire, a sympathy hire or some other kind of diversity hire. Many conservatives look at any successful black person as being an inadequate beneficiary of an unfair practice. Now, the second paragraph is a hate-driven chunk of words. It is just plain ignorant and shows the bitterness, frustration, hatred and anger that has filled that particular writer’s heart.
