The myth of modern white racism
Interesting column by Larry Meeks
Quote:
Politically, however, it's all about the fictional "Latino community".

The Obamination is not an "African American" and most African Americans in this country understand this. Obama was not descended from anyone in the US who was ever a slave. This is what has dominated Afro American politics since they first got here. Not only that, but Obama was raised by a white family to be black in certain kind of way. His "black radicalism" -- if you want to call it that -- is something he assumed because somebody showed him how to assume it, he was indoctrinated in it deliberately by his white liberal quais-radical mother and, I guess, grandparents. He is a fake African American.
That's why his followers are so hung up on racism, it's all got to be racism, because if the roots of the problems of real African Americans were to be confronted, then the other fakes in the whole "minority" facade would also have no political leverage. And who are these fakes? Immigrants, illegal and othewise.

We have often disagreed, but I see this as right on. "African American" is an American invention, a fiction, considering all the cultures and peoples and nations of Africa, many among the population of whom happen to be black. The same concerning "Hispanic" or "Latino" and "Latin America". As one writer stated (paraphrased), in past migrations from Italy a person might make it very clear that his personal identity is derived from Naples, not Venice. But, to Americans, Italians pretty much sound and act alike, so regardless of intrastate rivalries and even hostility, they're all Italians. So it doesn't matter, Palm trees or cactus, to white Americans Cubans, Mexicans, and everyone else in Latin America are somehow all the same people, as well as their descendants. And "Latino Activists" participate in this myth as well in order to garner support for their brand of ethnic nationalism from which they derive their income. They make a living off of fomenting racial discord, and the more widely it is realized and understood, the less power they have and the more racial harmony there will be.
