Wow, you contradict yourself immediately. Rush didn't say McNabb was celebrated because he was black. He said journalists overrated him because he was black. Explain the difference. And, yes, it is a racist statement if he is saying all journalists are racists. Except for Rush, who doesn't pretend to be a journalist, as journalism is just one of the many subjects he flunked out of at Southwest Missouri State.
The question remains, why don't we see more blacks in high paying jobs if it is "so easy" for them? Of course we need affirmative action. Otherwise, bigots will not hire them or admit them to prestigious schools. That is a historical fact. Shoot, Rand Paul still wants to allow proprietors to keep blacks out of restaurants. Racism has declined. But not enough.
I don't think Rush really believes this stuff. He's a bright guy despite his drug abuse and lack of education. He says it for ratings and it works. We could ignore him (Like Michael Savage), but he's too popular and the unofficial head of the Republicrook Party now and we have to out them and what they really believe in. Then, once we see the ugly face behind their phoniness, let the people decide if we want to regress. |
