Hannity And All White Panel Complain: Whites Held To Higher Standards Than Blacks

Forget Habeas Corpus! Who cares whether the troops are getting an adequate amount of time at home before being reactivated overseas? OJ’s out on bail! But even with that big news to be analyzed, dissected and discussed, Hannity & Colmes found time near the end of last night’s (9/19/07) show to squeeze in a segment about a “shocking rant” from The View’s Joy Behar! And since Behar’s “rant” concerned race, that meant the only aspects worth talking about were the disadvantages of white people. With video.

It turns out Behar cracked a joke “asking” if the Republican candidates who skipped the African American and Hispanic Forums were at a KKK rally. Behar must not have gotten the memo saying that only conservatives like Ann Coulter and guest Curtis Sliwa can crack jokes at the expense of their political opposition. Predictably, Behar’s point about Republican attitudes toward race immediately fell by the wayside as the topic became her instead of them.

Could anyone be more asinine than Sliwa? Dressed in the same red jacket and beret he wore as a teenager when he lied his way into the headlines as a Guardian Angel, Sliwa told adolescent, name-calling jokes targeting “Joyless” Behar and Al “Slim Shady” Sharpton. Meanwhile, as he got on his high horse about “this woman (casting) aspersions on Republicans” he conveniently forgot that not long ago he had yearned for a baseball bat to beat Rosie O’Donnell “like a human piñata.” Funny how that “shocking rant” was never a topic for discussion on Hannity & Colmes.

But as the issue of bias against blacks vanished, the issue of bias against whites (a perennial favorite on Hannity & Colmes) stepped into the foreground when Hannity took his turn. The funny thing is, Hannity didn’t seem to realize that he essentially proved Behar’s point by focusing on prejudice against whites, instead...

7. Right wing hate mongers have for dacades attempted to redefine the meaning of racism.

For generations, white racists attempted to keep African-Americans "in their place" through segregation, discrimination, hanging nooses in trees, burning crosses in yards, murder, and pretending none of these existed.

Racism was a sickness that attempted to engulf America, truly. Federal agents murdered, beautiful young girls blown to bits as they attended their Christian church. Yes, the racism play list extends a considerable distance with its repulsive cruelty.

And whites did not commit these crimes of racism simply because they felt their white race was inherently superior. It went far beyond that. It was indoctrinated at such an early age, some white southern teenagers told of how they were shocked at themselves when they found out how deep this hate had been planted inside of them.

Racist like Hannity today pretend they are in a near state of collapse at the mere hint of prejudice against whites. The poor widdle babies. This feigned indignation merely reveals they haven’t the slightest clue as to the history of racism in this country, the suffering and death that innocents have endured at the hands of white racists. Hannity merely shows off his abject stupidity.
