Racism. No, really.

Remember this ad?

Orlando Patterson says this is a racist ad. Read it right here for yourself.

You know the leaders of the professional victim’s movement have gotten desperate for something relevant to say when they come up with something this stupid.

It had to happen eventually.

It’s victim vs. victim. They’re turning on each other like black and red ants in a jar.

Pass the popcorn!

Yikes! I need to clarify something.

Honestly, I didn’t mean anything by “…black and red ants in a jar.”

It was just a figure of speech. An innocent figure of speech.

The reference to black ants (or red ants for that matter) was in no way whatsoever meant to infer or insinuate anything about women candidates for president.

Their just ants for chrissakes!!

Gah, Zach is right. What an absolutely horrible op-ed that was.

The writer just declares that the ad is like ‘Birth Of A Nation’, without showing how the ad and that movie are even remotely similar, other than the writer’s unfounded feeling that the unseen threat is a black guy.

Tells us far more about the writer than about the ad.

What’s sad is that some people think this op-ed is actually worth printing.

Are you kidding? Jeez people truly see what they want in order to keep something alive. This is the stupidest and most arrogant piece ever – and I don’t even like Hill.

Fear mongering yes; racism? Hello?

I just knew this analysis was written by someone with a PhD in a pseudoscientific field where evidence is not highly valued, so I scrolled down, and bingo!

To be obsessed with race and racialism is to suffer a mental disorder. It matters not which “race” one is obsessed with. The obsession is the problem. The race obsessed racialist seems beyond reason, fighting assimilation with a world view that is broken, which offers neither answers or a self-identification which liberates the individual to prosper as a free citizen defined by their individual accomplishments.

Saying Hilary has foreign policy experience is a bit like saying Yoko Ono was one of the Beatles.
