WARNING!!! IRONY ALERT!!! Part II

It was worse than I thought.  Alvin Holmes not only made an incredibly idiotic racist remark, the man with dung for brains actually put money behind it.   These two articles give details surrounding the asinine level of confidence this total buffoon has in his racist opinion of white Republicans.  I would be surprised if he did not try to welch on his wager by suggesting a specific number to satisfy his "whole bunch of whites that adopted blacks in Alabama" criterion.  How many white Alabama families with adopted minority children must there be for this cretin to pay up?

But more importantly, what does it take for Democrats to stand against such blatant misbehavior?  Two lefties showed up when I originally posted on this story and tried to suggest there is a rational explanation for Holmes' vile pronouncements.  But there's a vast chasm-like difference between understanding how white racism in American history, perpetrated by some whites, might influence the perceptions of any given person of color toward the white race, versus using that to dismiss outrageous black racism toward in the other direction.  Like the white racist, Holmes simply does not know enough people of the white race, Republican or otherwise, to justify a blanket condemnation of white people.  This has always been my problem with anyone with prejudice against any group of people.  America was never so completely racist as to justify such a reciprocal racist attitude.

And now Holmes must savor the taste of his own foot, and will be known for the complete jackass as his comments illustrate he is until he ponies up the cash or a public apology.  Not the typical Democrat apology, but an actual apology that demonstrates true remorse for his hatred and a sincere desire to repent of his racism and instead actually judge others by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

That's over the top even for the race-baiters. That guy makes Jesse and Al look less extreme. The guy was arguing FOR legalized killing of black babies and was wildly misinformed, even for a Leftist ("No one I knew voted for __________").

I'm glad those families called him on it. Too bad the Left will give him a pass. When Republicans violate their standards, like the RINO caught on camera cheating on his wife, then people on the Right are willing to criticize them and withdraw their support. Not so with the standard-less, shameless Left.

It's really sad that this guy holds elective office. I'd like to believe that he never said anything quite this stupid while first campaigning, but this is just so out there that it is hard to believe that his character wasn't known well enough.

The funny part, in a very pathetic delusional way, is that I am ever accused of racism while defending the great potential in my fellow man by idiots who then defend a guy like Alvin Holmes.

feo, I don't even have to look at your link to know it doesn't do a damn thing to rebut my comment. It only shows that racism existed. It doesn't prove it was as widespread as you want to believe it was. There is no truth in you.

While I'd rather not do this - exhibiting fathers, sons, mothers... family members all - in what amounts probably to the last appeals to your conscience that will come your way, I let the work of others offer this grim sample to the hundreds of thousand gone.

My conscience is perfectly and justly clear. That yours could be for suggesting a lie as truth is not surprising. As I said, the truth is not in you. So while I again reject the prospect of viewing your links, I will spell it out for you and hope you have clue enough to understand.

You would have to provide a picture of horrors committed by every American in history to lend any credence to the notion that my statement comes anywhere near false. America was never so completely racist as to justify any reverse racism. Your links prove what is not in dispute, which is that racism existed and still exists in America. But you haven't the honesty and honor to admit that it doesn't justify the abject stupidity of an Alvin Holmes.

I fully understand this problem. You don't have honesty or honor, and you're every bit as stupid as Holmes. You continue to prove it ceaselessly as if you're getting paid handsomely for it.

Marshal Art said...

I meant to add the following:

How can you (this is rhetorical as the answer is in my last paragraph) suggest that Holmes has justification, for which your pictures (which apparently are as porn to you) are meant as proof, and never give any consideration whatsoever of the white people that, from the earliest days of our nation, stood against the enslavement of our fellow man, and the white people that fought and died to free them, and the white people that argued and voted to ensure their rights and the millions of white people who befriend them as they do any other human being? What kind of asshole (again--rhetorical question) ignores these truths and provides cover for an Alvin Holmes who speaks such rank racist stupidity?

It is clear you are among the worst of scum. May God release you from your stupidity and hatred.

Marshal Art said...

By the way, do you see many Jews saying such things about those of German ancestry? No excuse for your stupidity or that of Holmes. It is just rank hypocrisy and racism you both bring to the table.

feo,

If you're trying to prove that racism still exists in America, you're wasting your time. I know you don't possess the intelligence to pick up on the obvious, but that was never disputed anywhere in the over 400 posts of this blog. EVER. Indeed racism does unfortunately still exist. What you don't want to admit is that of those racists that exist in this country, some of them are black, like Alvin Holmes. YOU are a racist, for you cannot grasp that many whites do not have issues with people due to their race, or that so many whites do not buy into the nonsense that they owe anything to other races because some people oppressed other people in the past. That's YOUR dysfunction. You're welcome to it.

In the meantime, if you want to point to messages received by a retired and bitter baseball player who still needs to cling to letters from his past to convince him nothing's changed in 40 years (indeed, itself a very racist proposition), and that those messages convince YOUR sorry ass that this country is racist, you'll need at least 225 million more proofs (the approximate number of white Americans, since your white guilt compels you to believe only white people are racist). Don't post anymore of your desperate examples here until you have them all. You idiot.

"In April 2002, the Sigmund Freud Institute in Frankfurt and the University of Leipzig conducted a joint study which found that 20 percent of German respondents agreed that "Jews are to blame for the major conflicts in the world," and another 26 percent shared that opinion "to some extent," according to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.

Thanks for the completely irrelevant offering. It has absolutely no bearing on the post or your cowardly avoidance of your obligation here.
