“one wonders why he felt that the dinner honoring Ms. Ziman for her philantrophic work on behalf of African-American children was the appropriate forum for such remarks.”

Big Ben, perhaps it has something to do with the political cover he has been given, because, after all…isn’t he just another “crazy uncle” who grew up in a time and a place where it now makes it reasonable and justifiable to harbor blind hatred?

According to a man running for the highest office in the land, blind hatred, vicious stereotyping, malignant falsehoods and all manner of vile oppobrium are a one way street when it comes to racial interactions in this country. Don Imus and Geraldine Ferraro are held to one set of standards, Jeremiah Wright, Rev Meeks, Rev. Otis Moss, Louis Farrakhan etc. are held to a different set of standards.

After all, we have to contextualize and morally equivocate when black preachers make racist statements and spreads vicious lies vs. when a shock jock makes one, trying to be funny.

Political cover for hatred, political cover for mistreatment, political cover for lies, political cover for racial warfare, political cover for class warfare.

This is the tune that has been called, the piper has been paid and he will play it.

It could not be more clear, that political cover for an “us” vs. “them” strategy is being played out. Those who believe in the notion of class warfare, those who believe in advancing an “us” vs. “them” agenda…will march in lockstep toward the outcome this November.

White people are “them”. Jewish people are “them”. Socialists, marxists, black liberation theology congregationalists are “us”.

Viral “Them”-ology has landed on your doorstep.

Get ready for some payback. There’s political cover for it now.
