Racism 101

For all of you liberal Democrats (there must be at least one) who read this blog, I am going to review a basic term that I have gone over before . . . “Racism!”
In more simple language racism involves making a decision about someone based on the color of his/her skin or nationality, and not on the basis of his/her ability. If I were to state, “I am not hiring him, because he is Polish,” that would be a racist statement, because my decision was based on his ethnic background, and not on his ability to do the work. Likewise if I said, “I oppose the nomination of Mr.X because he is black or yellow or brown,” that too would obviously be racist, because I was opposing him because he is black or yellow or brown.
What if someone said that he could not vote for Mr. X for a vacancy on the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina because he is . . . A White Man . . . a white man replacing two black Obama nominees. Well, sport’s fans, that is what Senator Chuck Schumer (D, NY) said last week on the Senate floor about nominee Marvin Quattlebaum, and that is a racist statement. Now his statement, in and of itself, is not that surprising as Chuck Schumer is a political hack and a boor. What is surprising to me, however, is that I did not hear any of the other 48 Democratic senators call him out on it. The way that I look at that is that either all of the other Democratic senators are either afraid of Mr. Schumer and thus are afraid to speak their own mind, or they agree with his racist statement.
To be perfectly honest I am not sure which is worse!
