After these two mortal blows, Big Bertha is going to need either smelling salts or embalming fluid: MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIESFROM: Peter R. Orszag DirectorSUBJECT: Guidance on section 163 of the Continuing Resolutio…

I do not agree with ACORN tactics or tenets. I applaud the invetigative reporting that have peeled back their ugly underbelly for all to see. But I see no reason to hold the CEO of an obviously corrupt organization as some archetypal depiction of Blacks in America.

Here’s the problem. ACORN falsely claims to represent and speak for a large segment of the black community. Unless someone disputes that in a meaningful way, a lot of people will accept that claim at face value.

And when WaPo and ACORN fabricate and attribute racist motivations to critics as they did with O’Keefe, that just reinforces that notion.

In other words, ACORN and groups like it are reinforcing the racial stereotypes they say they are fighting against. And they want it that way. It’s how they stay in business.

Note to black folks; if you really want to reduce the sterotypes and racial predcudices, eleminate those stupid refrences to monkey’s and apes, you gotta get this woman off the TV screens. She is a one person wrecking crew for any hope you have of convincing white folks that we are all alike.

It is not the responsibility of “black folks” to reduce prejudice. The suggestion thereof is misleading and dangerous. I am black; this woman does not speak on my behalf at all. Yet I can be offended by simian-taunts and racial-insults too. Being conservative does not blind me to reality. It simply arms me with a different perspective with which to deal with it. It is unfair to burden all blacks with the weight of your anger against one woman particular.

I suspect is that your political frustrations have given way to a burgeoning personal, racial-angst. Maybe you have never considered yourself one to have any racial hangups, but now find yourself confronted with alarming, base racial reactions.

Who knows? I cannot account for your personal feelings. I hope you work that frustration out. But I do not have to be stand by silently while you pass the buck on standing firm against bigotry.

You have invested in an us-vs-them mentality. You charge me with the responsibility of convincing “white folks that we are all alike.” You get to sit back and allude to monkey jokes, allude to ape jokes and avoid the stain of the bigoted tone which you have so poorly veiled.

“For many years, there’ve been folks who’ve disagreed with our ideology or methodology that [have] gone after us,” Mrs. Lewis, ACORN’s chief executive officer, said in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington.

She admits to tax fraud in this comment. ACORN is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-partisan, tax exempt organization.

As a matter of fact I live by a creed that many cannot comprehend because they do not listen or read the words carefully.

“I hate everyone, until I get to know them”.

The responsibility to convince me you are worthy of a continuing relationship is up to you, not because someones ideals say that I must allow you into my circle. My life is easier because I am the one who determines the amount of time I allow you to convince me. The longer I listen to you the better chance we have of becoming friends.

When those who believe I must do something because a fictitious group of people say I must, hear my statement they are so caught up with themselves or their programming they only hear one word in the whole thought – hate.

From that point on nothing else matters in their mind so from that point on they begin berating me and try to change me, so it is at that point the relationship ends and I can get on with doing something good for someone or group that deserves my effort.

This is just the same ole’ junky race card that we all expected. Won’t work.

Note to black folks; if you really want to reduce the sterotypes and racial …

I used to think that blacks really wanted to do this, but am beginning to see that many do not. They like their self proclaimed ‘victim’ status. It provides a ready excuse and a useful premise that allows many(certainly not all) to do as they please–especially to each other. It also allows the use those blacks who will not or cannot think for themselves as ready followers no matter how damaging the cause. This will certainly be called ‘racist’ thinking by those indicted above. So be it, I cannot change that. But, in truth, I personally would welcome a day when I do not have to look at skin color first and everything else second. If that’s racist, then I guess I’m guilty.

The freak’s got issues.
