NOTES From John Eric Williams: Racial bigotry expressed in disguised forms is called covert racism as opposed to overt racism where racial bigots openly express their aversive sentiments towards racialized “others.” Sometimes the covert racist is not even aware of the fact that he/she is racially bigoted. Because it is now unacceptable to express openly racist views, European American racial bigotry has morphed into a systemic process of oppression that is less overt, far more subtle, and less identifiable in terms of specific individuals committing the hateful acts. Since systemic racism operates as an established and respected force in America, it receives far less public condemnation than openly expressed bigoted acts. Saltsman’s racial political “satire” — Barack The Magic Negro — is a compelling example of covert systemic racism in that political officials widely deplored Saltsman’s individual act of bigotry — at least in words but remain mum about the systemic racism that keep racialized “others” in poor health, jobless, disenfranchised and so on.

Rethinking Racism: What the right wants us to forget is that race relations are rooted in systems, and that not all racism is individual, intentional and overt. Individual bias plays a role, to be sure, but it’s the institutional rules, written and unwritten, that enable such racism, not the other way around. You can’t “heal” a system; you have to rebuild it. [ READ MORE ]

Senate Majority leader Harry Reid was damn right when he recently implied that Obama lacks the toughness needed to beat the ReTHUGliLOONS in the head. “On a few occasions, I think he should have been more firm with those on the other side of the aisle,” Reid explained. “He is a person who doesn’t like confrontation. He’s a peacemaker. And sometimes I think you have to be a little more forceful. And sometimes I don’t think he is enough with the Republicans,” added Reid.

These lying smear-scumbags have gone too far. It’s time to put a stop to their poisonous journalistic pornography! For starters, investigate Breitbart, O’Keefe, Giles and the making and editing of the ACORN tapes….and Ms. Sherrod should file a defamation lawsuit against Mr. FRAUD — Andrew “Bratwurst” Breitbart [ READ MORE ]

Fox News’ response to Sherrod fallout: Ignore, whitewash, mislead: Fox News spent much of July 19 and 20 ginning up controversy about the false claim that Shirley Sherrod made racist remarks at a NAACP meeting earlier this year. As the claim unraveled, Fox media personalities disappeared their role in the story, continued to smear her as “descriminat[ory]” in the face of contradictory evidence, and boldly suggested the network did not contribute to the controversy.

Limbaugh: “NAACP is about the advancement of leftist ideals, agenda, and its own racism”

“Bony Ass” Coulter declares that “we don’t have racism in America any more“

Morris falsely accuses Obama of “not prosecuting the Panthers,” claims this “makes him not post-racial“

Huddy: “[I]ncriminating” “present tense” statements still “raise questions” about whether Sherrod should be federally employed

Beck’s long history of ripping quotes out of context: Stating that “context matters,” Glenn Beck suggested he takes care to present information on air only if he has the “full context.” However, Beck has repeatedly and grossly distorted the context of people’s remarks. [ READ MORE ]

Timeline of Breitbart’s Sherrod smear — Media Matters has documented a timeline of Andrew Breitbart’s smear of Shirley Sherrod, from Breitbart’s initial posting of his deceptively edited clip of Sherrod — which was amplified by Fox News and other right-wing media — through the release of the full video of Sherrod’s comments, which made clear the context of her remarks.

2. Attacking the victim, right-wing media brand Sherrod a Marxist — Media conservatives, including Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, have continued the right wing’s attacks on Shirley Sherrod, who was forced to resign from her position at the Department of Agriculture after Andrew Breitbart posted edited video of a speech she gave to falsely label her a racist. These conservatives have branded Sherrod a Marxist, Maoist, communist, and socialist. [ READ MORE ]

Roger Ailes, a Civil Rights Leader? I think NOT!

Mr. Ailes on behalf of Australian tycoon Rupert Murdoch, is responsible for the racist cesspool at Fox News. FAT Roger re-inforced Beck’s assertions by noting that he (Ailes) contributed immensely to the Civil Rights movement by booking Martin Luther King on the “Mike Douglas show.” LOL!

Ms. Silverman, author of “The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee,” attacked the Tea Party movement and “right-wing Americans,” suggesting their efforts aren’t for the sake of fiscal responsibility and the fear the country is headed toward an entitlement state, but instead — veiled racism.

“The entire Fox News Channel is a twenty-four-hour-a-day racism engine, but it’s all coded, all implied,” she continued. “Lou Dobbs used to scream on CNN about ‘immigration,’ not ‘filthy Mexicans.’ I suspect the racist messages about Asians that permeate the media are subtler, and therefore more difficult to combat.”

The Racism at Fox News

Did race factor into O’Reilly’s telling Columbia University professor Mark Lamont Hill that he looked a little bit like a cocaine dealer?

O’Reilly’s history of racism, making derogatory, stereotyping comments about people of color, traverses a full decade plus. The pig is a racist to the bone. Here are samples from as far back as 1999:

•   During an interview for Stuff magazine (11/02), O’Reilly opined that “the most unattractive women in the world are probably in the Muslim countries.” O’Reilly later insisted (New York Daily News, 10/10/02), “There was no malice intended. It was just in jest.”

•   During a segment (2/9/00) about black athletes suing over the minimum academic standards for college admission, O’Reilly commented: “Look, you know as well as I do most of these kids come out and they can’t speak English.”

•   Criticizing Democratic politicians who met with Rev. Al Sharpton, which O’Reilly compared to meeting with white supremacist David Duke: “Why would it be different? Both use race to promote themselves.” (3/16/00) O’Reilly also equated the Black Panthers with Duke (1/11/99): “You were promoting your people, black people, and he’s promoting white people. So what’s the difference?”

•   ”We have black leaders in this country who blame everything on whitey, everything’s the system’s fault, and that gives a built-in excuse to fail and act irresponsible. ‘Oh, I can’t get a job. Whitey won’t let me,’ or ‘I can’t get educated. The teachers are bad, so I’m going to go out and get high and sell drugs. That’s the only way we can make money here.’ You know what I mean? And it’s a vicious cycle” (6/8/99).

•   ”Will African-Americans break away from the pack thinking and reject immorality–because that’s the reason the family’s breaking apart–alcohol, drugs, infidelity. You have to reject that, and it doesn’t seem–and I’m broadly speaking here, but a lot of African-Americans won’t reject it” (2/25/99).

•   ”I’ve been to Africa three times. All right? You can’t bring Western reasoning into the culture. The same way you can’t bring it into fundamental Islam” (5/6/02).
