If you missed the announcement when the Klan changed its name to the Democrat Party during the Clinton ‘90s, we were reminded again this morning on the cover page of the Los Angeles Times.
A pedestrian entertainment writer was assigned to prod the thousands of racist peasants in the Times’s audience.
His charge: Explore why the proportion of black Oscar nominees fails to parallel the black population of our country.
Even the nearly three decent liberal Americans must have been offended by the nonsensical nature of a typically gutter-level liberal inquiry.
Who cares? Why does it matter?
It matters to bean-counting, largely unemployed, unmarried, unambitious, unimaginative, unctious libs because they need a fresh reason to trash America.
It matters mainly because liberals are obsessive in their all-day search for fake victims of fake injustices so they have someone to fault for their inevitable failures.
Since the story was pointless and of no interest to normal people, the Times, in a typically scrawny, ad-starved Monday edition, deemed it the second most important local story about nothing.
The pedestrian reporter, never noted for his insightfulness, led off with a frothy observation from an obscure professor, hardly an appetite-whetter.
With keen insight and ringing irrelevancy, the nutty professor said: “If (the Oscar derby is)all white again, nobody is going to be happy. There might be a perception that the academy is out of touch.”
How did this giant of a man know that at our Shabbos table last Friday, 10 serious persons devoted their ever-probing religious minds to wondering why “human beings of color” will not be chosen again this year, just as they were not in 1931.
You must possess a rare mind with a razor’s edge to devote hours in a religious setting to a topic of monumental inanity.
