Prominent among the numerous unendearing qualities of black and white liberals is that all non-white men and women must believe as leftists do or they are cerebrally inept, an embarrassment to their group.
From President Obama on down, it galls leftists raw that non-whites refuse to be lockstep sycophants.
On this Veterans Day when we celebrate our country’s truest heroes, dead and alive, chronically emotional leftists insist that we count and live by separate groupings.
Dr. King, a true liberal, would have spat in the faces of these latter day racists who think of themselves as latter day saints.
This brings us to the beautiful story of Mia Love, elected a week ago tonight to Congress from Utah. Ms. Love is a Republican. Ms. Love is black. Ms. Love is Mormon.
One Darron Smith, a Ph.D who dresses like a rapper, posted an essay on the Huffington Post the other day condemning Ms. Love for betraying her race.
Mr. Smith sounds like an ugly Uncle Tom in reverse gear, the direction many leftists prefer to travel. Especially black leftists who routinely dedicate their public lives to victimhood. They are miserable, and they seek to make their fellow blacks drench themselves in shared guilt if they don’t agree with them politically and socially.
Mr. Smith and his ilk yearn for a return to the Jim Crow days, and they are uncomfortable portraying themselves as equals with whites.
Mr. Smith writes:
“To many African Americans and other individuals engaged in politics who followed Mia Love's House candidacy up to her historic victory, she is a paradox. As a black, female Mormon, her conservative ideals are deemed peculiar as she begins her office in the House of Representatives while balancing a triad of oppressive social constructs that are leveled against her. Not only have blacks historically and continually had to battle for their right to coexist as equals in U.S. society, but women have similarly pushed against a glass ceiling. Even today, women still struggle for equal pay, equal rights and equal protection under the law in the workplace. Mia, as a black female, represents one of the most discriminated-against racial groups in the country…
… Love's political convictions show a strong support for values that do not necessarily represent her interests as a member in any of these oppressed groups.”
The disgusting and feeling-deserted Mr. Smith works himself into a juvenile rage:
“For example, blacks are not doing well with respect to education, economics and health outcomes, while women still trail behind in salary and significant positions of power, and conservative politics are not typically known to aid these groups in such key issues. These actualities of Mia's existence seem to be diametrically opposed to her values that are grounded in a white, male, Christian context. She appears publicly unhampered by the daily grind of white racism that affects other racial minorities within the United States.”
Because he luxuriates in racist victimhood, Mr. Smith concludes:
“Mia Love and her red political ideology do not align with the needs of black Americans, historically disenfranchised people who remain left out and left behind.”
