Exclusive: Racism – Like Arrogance – Knows No Color
A racist is someone who makes decisions and conclusions primarily if not solely based on race. Such a person justifies, supports and promotes his moves using race as a shield, a wand, a sword or whatever other tool he needs to push his agenda forward. Any resemblance to a Marxist messiah, community organizer, used car salesman, or snake oil peddler is entirely coincidental.
Racists are Hypocrites, Cowards and Bullies
The racist gleefully judges others by standards he cannot pass himself. He waves superficial displays of nobility to hide the insecurity, hate, and resentment simmering below. His is a pathetic existence, built on delusional pretenses of superiority which conceal deep and bitter feelings of inadequacy and indignation. Above all, he is twice as guilty of the accusations he so frequently levels against others. He is so intent on nailing his opponents with labels that he fails to see just how obvious his own faults and blemishes truly are. His hypocrisy is so brazen as to invite disbelief.
The racist is a coward who hides behind concocted images and masks long applied in a laughable attempt to shield him from the discovery that he is, at the end of the day, a loser in the most important measure of all, which is having the integrity, honesty and class to stand bravely next to his views ready to accept the responsibility those views may demand.
The racist is a bully, so incapable of respecting opposing views as to require that those views be snuffed out as quickly and completely as possible lest they grab hold and threaten his pathetic agenda. In order to bully others, the racist will typically employ agents of force and public opinion. Many such agents pretend to be purveyors of information and truth while actually being nothing more than peddlers of propaganda and bias supporting the leading liar.
Racists are Arrogant Liars
The racist truly believes that he is better than everyone else. He sees opponents as annoying, ignorant obstacles to be trampled rather than worthy contributors to the forum of public discourse to be considered. True to form, many of those opponents are those belonging to the race he dislikes or those who dare to support, or ever agree with, those people. Some racists are either so ignorant, like Archie Bunker, or so blatant, like Jeremiah Wright, as to openly display that arrogance for all to see. Other racists are far more sinister, dangerous and vile. These racists shrewdly conceal their arrogance in order to more effectively manipulate and achieve their purposes. I am sure that the reader can come up with at least one example of such a racist with little effort.
Since racism is nothing but ignorant arrogance with a delusional foundation, it cannot thrive or even exist in the face of truth. Racists, therefore, find that lying is a necessary job skill, and they employ that skill with frequent impunity. Given racists’ pattern of treacherous deception, one should not believe anything a racist says as far as one can throw a piano, which may well be the piano on which said racist plays his usual tune of lies.
Racists Employ Treachery and Betrayal
Since racists have a poor relationship with the truth, they will often have to employ deception in order to first win the approval of gullible believers and fawning fools, and then turn the tables on all such people in order to move their hidden agenda forward. For the racist, such things as truth, friendship, loyalty and integrity are mere means to an end, petty props to be dispensed as soon as they are unnecessary.
Racists are Hidden Incompetents
Racism thrives in an environment of insecurity and inadequacy brought about by some incompetence or inadequacy. Unable to deal with people on a fair, balanced, mature and intelligent level, racists usually resort to developing and applying their own set of false views and beliefs. Every racist is hiding something, and some need to hide even more.
The Antidote to Racism
Racism cannot exist, much less thrive, in an environment of truth, unselfishness, security, equality, fairness, loyalty, courage or integrity. This is why most, if not all, racists surround themselves with similarly situated people who agree with the racist’s views and agenda. Thus, where one finds a prominent racist, one will likely find other racists as well.
Conclusion
Things will go much better for us personally and for our society in general if we find a way to identify, isolate, and remove as many racists from our midst as possible.
Such things as right and wrong, patriotism and betrayal, loyalty and disloyalty, and many other things only develop a race when racists slap that label on them.
Simply put, racists use race as a smokescreen to conceal their insecurity, incompetence and low character. The truly equal and tolerant society is one where people can openly criticize and question each other without anyone claiming racism is behind the scenes.
There are those who preach change, unity and tolerance while displaying just the opposite. When all is said and done, the historical contribution of such people should be confined to periodically reminding us that the voting public is all too human, and fully capable of stepping into it from time to time. Let us all remember this truth the next time we pull the lever for any candidate.
