Oh a good black man with a law degree from Harvard, who is also a civil rights attorney, who lectures at Harvard Law in constitutional law, who’s deeply qualified ran and got a senate seat? He’s now a meteoric success, now he’s president? Well… he’s not REALLY black! He’s only HALF black! It hardly counts.
A black man robbed a store? SEE! SEE! THEY’RE ALL LIKE THAT! ALL OF THEM!! He’s only 1/4 black? Well obviously he got enough of the black genes to be a born criminal! They’re all like that!!!
There was a show almost ten years ago were a black comedian went to racist groups to live with them for a day or a week or so. It actually had surprisingly little drama, maybe helped change some minds. Obviously it wasn’t very successful as a show.
In one episode he was living with a couple who absolutely denied the Holocaust. Towards the end the guy and his girlfriend were going back and forth agreeing on how much they didn’t believe it happened, until the girl said something like “I don’t think it happened but you know… It should have”. The man seemed a little shocked by that. It ended with the comedian and the racist talking things out and it at least seemed the guy was in thought.
Want an even better question? How can they deny it and celebrate it at the same time?
That’s racism. It’s always double standards, double speak, and cognitive dissonance.
