Craig Nulan gets on my case for being 'anti-black'. It's a rather simplistic label that I accept in a complicated way. In fact, I don't do much to criticize blackfolks, but rather black politics. I pay almost zero attention to what one might consider the psychology of African Americans. But today I'm going to take a swipe because I've witnessed something rather pathetic and it's got my goat.
The Field Negro found it necessary to quote some windbag named Dave Neiwart who is hyperventilating about 'Noose Incidents' in the wake of the 'original' in Jena, LA. And so FN takes a stab at 'the re-puke-lican party' with a picture of a Klansman at the top of his completely retarded, ass-backward, piecemeal post.
The defense of white privilege has been a cornerstone of the GOP's electoral appeal ever since the its ardent adoption of the Southern Strategy, dating back to Goldwater and Nixon and continiuing through the Reagan and Bush years. Even Republican strategists acknowledge this to be the case.Joseph Aistrup, in his book The Southern Strategy Revisited: Republican Top-Down Advancement in the South -- a text written primarily to influence GOP politicos -- observes the following: When a GOP presidential candidate's campaign strategy emphasizes racially conservative appeals, he identifies not only himself but his party as the one that protects white interests.
I happen to think Field and his pseudonymous and anonymous pinhead synchophants are a blight to the spirit of the blogosphere. Why? Because they're shadowboxing. They lack the testicular and intestinal fortitude to find a real Republican and do battle. There isn't a Southern Strategist living. The closest tangent to a hint of a smidgen of white privilege working in Republican politics is the Ron Paul candidacy, and that adds up to about $500 worth of influence. But do you think FN or any of his spooked-out whiners might care to do battle with a real Republican blogger? Hells no. Instead that wallow in a trough of paranoid self-pity.
It's a pathetic shame that so called defenders of black civil rights or whatever dog food they're eating at the black self-back pat society called The Field Negro blog don't have the cojones of Cheney, Goodman and Schwermer who actually left their homes and dealt with the real Klan. They don't even have the stones to find the white supremacists in the blogosphere and call them out. Instead, they raise spectres of ghosts and then slander 're-puke-licans' as if such monkey business were courageous work worthy of respect.
If they rise to this challenge, I expect to get a some spittle as the messenger. Fine. But let's see if they can find, and I have twenty bucks that says they cannot, a real Republican blogger at the Mammal level or higher in the TTLB Ecosystem who will respond defending the Southern Strategy or white privilege as a Republican strategy.
It's time to put up or shut up. We've been through this four different ways before. Let's see what's new.
