Columnist – John Sammon
It’s only fitting that the Republican Party, the party that either stood in the way of legislation that would give black Americans equal rights, or turned a blind eye to racist injustice, the party that never passed in 70 years one piece of progressive legislation, a party that is racist and sexist, pro-war and anti-worker, would suddenly have opportunist blacks like Herman Cain carrying its standard.
You’ve got to give credit to Cain. He recognized that a party that has opposed equality at every turn and traditionally shunned blacks for decades pretending like they didn’t exist would be a wide-open field to politically exploit.
Cain recently said that during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, whose centerpieces included the right to sit at a lunch counter with white customers or sit at the front of a bus, that he remained aloof from the movement because he was too young at the time.
Oh, if we only had more like him we could have them all back in the fields picking cotton, singing “Nobody knows, ‘da trouble I seen,” or “Ole’ Man River.”
Cain is the recipient of the first annual Republican-sponsored “Uncle Tom Token Awards.”
Remember, this is the party of Rick Perry, who has a hunting lodge somewhere in the wilds of Texas with a rock that uses the N word to identify the place, something like “Niggerhead.” His family picked that over “Coonsville” and “Jig Acres.” Every man of action, like Dick Cheney with his anemic heart and shotgun, needs a hunting lodge. Hermann Goering had one called “Carinhall,” named after a deceased wife.
I guess Hermann didn’t know any blacks or he might have renamed it “Spook City,” with a picture of a wide-eyed black eating a watermelon.
Cain is also nominated for the “Uncle Tom Best Excuse” Award for making statements that he was too young at the time of the Civil Rights Movement to participate, so he left it up to Rosa Parks, the little murdered boy in Mississippi Emmett Till, along with the three slain Civil Rights activists Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner.
In fairness to Cain, I would be a hypocrite if I didn’t say I didn’t participate in the Civil Rights Movement either. But in fairness to me, I was wrong and I was white, and I was the product of a racist household, and I’m trying to atone for it by doing columns like this.
I think although she is largely out of the picture, a “Lifetime Achievement” Award should be presented to Condoleezza Rice for her participation as an African American token during the Bush Administration, as a loyal mouthpiece who justified wars based on false weapons of mass destruction, wiretap spying in the Patriot Act, torture of prisoners in violation of the Geneva Convention and all the rest. She has consistently and without fail proved her worth as a loyal Negro stooge to Bush, even though Bush and his henchmen secretly despised her, and her value to the party as a token after former Negro stooge Colin Powell showed a spark of decency and refused to read a prepared script of lies to the public, throwing it on the floor.
And finally, what can you say about Clarence Thomas that hasn’t already been nauseated? Founder of a right-wing group associated with the Tea Party Movement, many of whose members openly despise him for the color of his skin, Thomas is among the most silent of justices on the Supreme Court, seldom venturing a comment, in other words, a “credit to his race” as racists like to say, apparently knowing his place. His lack of verbosity apparently didn’t keep him from making allegedly lewd comments to an attorney, Anita Hill.
To Clarence Thomas goes the “Politics Makes Strange Bedfellows” Award.
