Define "Advancement"

It's official, I am a racist.

Startling I know, but let's consider the evidence:

I have on numerous occasions used the phrase "personal responsibility".

The mainstream media has made it clear they believe this to be a loaded term, nothing but coded phraseology masking racism. This would presuppose a term like personal responsibility was targeted at an ethnic minority group. The only minority group I was referencing, was irresponsible people. In crying racism, is the media telling us they believe minorities are irresponsible?

I have publicly taken the position that we should ignore a person's race in our dealings with them.

This is a deep infraction. The politically correct culture warriors of the American left say we have to not only acknowledge the differences between us, but celebrate them, and let every human interaction be driven by the goal of greater diversity. I guess I was hanging on to an antiquated idea that I should judge a person not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. But then, people don't have character anymore.

Finally, if all that wasn't enough to seal my fate...

I have attended and participated in a Tea Party protest.

The NAACP put out a resolution this week condemning the Tea Parties as condoning racism. Indeed the Tea Parties which have no central ideology, no central leadership, and no requirement for membership failed to decry racist elements which may or may not exist, and who may or may not be Tea Party members...the bastards!

All BS aside, frivolous allegation of racism like this only serve to desensitize people to genuine racial prejudice. They undermine any shred of credibility organizations like the NAACP may have once had. They say "Raaacist!" and all anyone hears is "Give money to the Democratic paaarty!" They're desperate to capitalize on anti tea party sentiments among the left wing base, and old fears of racism, to maintain some cultural relevance in the face of a dismal midterm outlook.

The real reason they think of the Tea Party as a racist organization, is because they argue for personal responsibility and against excessive government spending. If I didn't know better, that sounds like an advertisement against social welfare spending. Despite downward trending of the most recent figures, the TANF program still reports the largest portion of its participants are African Americas. Take a black person off of the dole because you refuse to allow someone to pick your pocket, and you've crossed the NAACP's racism line.

All of those race whores and poverty pimps should look up the definition of "advancement", and realize that you can't make the weak strong, by making the strong weak.
