Racial Divide in Noo Yawk
8th December 2012
Racial tensions are mounting over the state Senate’s new, virtually all-white ruling coalition.
Okay, let’s Kremlinologize this: ‘virtually all-white’ means it has some non-white elements, otherwise there would be no need for the ‘virtually’. And ‘virtually’ suggests that those non-white elements are effectively no different from the white elements, because that’s what ‘virtually’ means. So there’s something going on here that depends entirely on color, because that appears to be the only significant feature. What might that something be?
Three black senators — Eric Adams of Brooklyn, Bill Perkins of Harlem, and Ruth Hassell-Thompson of The Bronx — are expected to join the Rev. Al Sharpton Saturday in a campaign to empower 15 black and Hispanic Democrats with key committee chairmanships and more influence, said a source.
Here, obviously, ’empower’ means ‘pay off’. So the ‘something’ under discussion is dividing the swag.
Sharpton claimed the coalition of Republicans and breakaway Democrats denies black and Latino senators power that should be “rightfully theirs” given that Democrats won a majority of Senate seats last month.
Suspicion confirmed. Democrats apparently are the party of non-white people, so when Democrats win, obviously non-white people are entitled to power. Competence? Doesn’t matter. Political beliefs? Irrelevant. Skin color? The only thing that matters.
In the old days, that would be called ‘racism’. But doublespeak reigns. I hope you love Big Brother; at least we can be sure he’s a Democrat.
