Shirley Sherrod: Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism
By Sissy Willis of sisu
"Intellectuals and political hustlers who blame the plight of so many
blacks on poverty, discrimination and the 'legacy of slavery' are
complicit in the socioeconomic and moral decay," writes Walter E. Williams, quoting Booker T. Washington's 1901 autobiography Up From Slavery, where the author is describing the motivations and modus operandi of the Jesse Jacksons and Reverend Sharptons of his day:
"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of
keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race
before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living
out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of
advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly
because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his
grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.
Booker T. Washington's homegrown grievance industry turned toxic in the last decades of the 20th century, when multiculturalism arose from the ashes of the New Left, as Linda Kimball explained in her American Thinker essay "Cultural Marxism" a couple of years back:
Because the New Left
lacked cohesion it fell apart as a political movement. However, its
revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single issue
groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black
extremists, anti-war ‘peace' activists, animal rights groups, radical
environmentalists, and ‘gay' rights groups …Both communism and the New Left are
alive and thriving here in America. They favor code words: tolerance,
social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex
education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity and
sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as
multiculturalism.
This unholy alliance of homegrown and imported grievance mongering
has come home to roost in the person of Shirley Sherrod. While legacy
media and fellow travelers in the blogosphere heard what they wanted to
hear on those notorious NAACP videos and fashioned a narrative of
Sherrod as earthly saint, our friend Dan Riehl actually sat down and listened to the whole thing.
Far from the uniter portrayed by the usual suspects, Sherrod in her own
words turns out to be a divider capable of accusing video promulgator
Andrew Breitbart of wanting "to get us stuck back in the times of slavery." Then came the equally sainted husband Charles and Dan's latest coup this morning, videos of the former SNCC organizer declaring "We Must Stop The White Man And His Uncle Toms …" But don't tell "former self-hating white person" Joan Walsh of Slate.
She "grew up adoring black people" and let Matt Lewis know in no
uncertain terms yesterday that "because Sherrod's father was murdered by
a white man, she was entitled to call Fox News and Andrew Breitbart a "racist."

I hope I live to see the day when the black community rejects the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc.

My neighbor had a great comment on this: “If these knuckeheads spent their time bettering themselves instead of feeling sorry for themselves, pouting, or decrying racism, and the rest bettering themselves, it would be a better place”
He’s a black Sherrif’s deputy, hom just got promoted.
Racism in minority communities is accepted, excused, ignored.
It cannot be tolerated anywhere in America, and racially ground law, regulation, or practice has to be ended.
But you crackers owe me! You OWE ME!!! Where my favorite cracker 2penny at, he need to get in here and help me out on dis one! Come on 2penny cracker, tell ‘em all about it, tell ‘em real good cracker boy!!
The trash culture of America (much of which is the work of decades of inculcation into the Left’s “sensitivity” and “multiculturalism”) needs to be mercilessly ground into the dust and left behind.
The only way to do this is to lay hold of what has worked in the past, to reclaim the legacy of our Northern European-American roots, that oft-cursed “Anglo-Saxon-Protestant” ethos that one long time ago made our country great and a shining beacon of Liberty upon a hilltop to the rest of the world ensnared in moral darkness and shackled by authoritarianism.
Forty days of weeping and mourning in black clothing and wailing upon our hands and knees before the Lord Jesus to ask Him to draw back His righteous wrath, and to take up His grace to repent of our sins — and to replace our wicked rulers with men of God who seek His face…
… this would be a good start toward recovering our nation.
