Stop Tolerating The Toxic Ideas Of Black Radicals
Mark Hemingway


Social media has an annoying habit of ablating any remaining desire for good intellectual hygiene, so I recently clicked on a video of Joy Reid. Since being dumped from MSNBC, Reid has been making the podcast rounds. And the 40-second clip is vintage Reid; she accuses white people writ large of not being able to invent anything, rewriting history, and caps it off with a bizarre rant about Elvis that, well, completely rewrites history:

Elvis grew up in housing projects in Memphis alongside black people, credited black artists and showed them nothing but respect throughout his career, and generally did wonders for civil rights. As for Elvis stealing “his main song” from an “overweight black woman,” Reid simply doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Yes, Big Mama Thornton did record “Hound Dog” a few years before Elvis, but she didn’t write the song. It was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, two Jewish white guys.

Thornton had a long career, albeit one hampered by pretty serious alcoholism, and died at 57. Big Mama Thornton deserves real credit for her contributions to the blues and rock and roll, but she was no Elvis, and he didn’t steal anything from her. “Hound Dog” has been recorded more than 250 times, including by several other artists in the four years between the release of Thornton and Elvis’ versions. Suffice to say, there’s plenty of reasons besides race why Elvis sold 10 million copies of “Hound Dog,” even if the 500,000 Thornton sold was nothing to sneeze at.

Anyway, “Joy Reid is an idiot” is a long running series, and that basic observation is not what struck me about this clip. It’s that Reid is spouting the most divisive ideas of black radical leaders, rooted in broad brush anti-white racism. Which is not to say that racism didn’t exist; there’s a lot that Reid could have said that would have been both shameful and fair. For instance, Thornton claims she was paid only $500 for selling half a million copies of “Hound Dog,” a common problem for black artists of the era. Instead, Reid accuses one of America’s greatest artists, who is overwhelmingly responsible for enriching and mainstreaming black artists in the decades to come, of only being successful because he “stole” from black people. And she mangles the facts in the process.

Joy Reid, flat out, hates white people.

Without Elvis, and other white artists of that time, whites would never have been exposed to, nor influenced, by black musicians.

It was because of Elvis, that black-influenced music became accessible to whites.

That is a reflection of society at that time; it's not a reflection upon Elvis himself.

Identity politics are devisive as groups seek to make themselves more equal than others.

Joy is like the poster child for the old black marxist radical grifter schtick. They create an alternate reality of constant and ongoing conspiracy by white people to hold them down and take away their accomplishments.

Except none of it exists. There's no slavery, no Jim Crow, white people are a minority if the urban areas so they choose their own leadership, and millions of immigrants including their own black cousins come here, overcome language and cultural barriers, and succeed. And they rail against all of them.

Despite all the smoke, the core truth is they can't live in a melting pot, or a free society. They want a caste system where they are the top ethnic group within a marxist collective, with everyone underneath them, and unlimited access to the treasury while above any and all laws.

And they're mad that no one is playing along anymore as they slide into the dustbin of history.

[Smokin Joe]

People like Joy Reid do great disservice to those Blacks who have worked hard or displayed developed talent and achieved in their fields, by denigrating their accomplishments and demanding those less qualified and competent receive compensation for their skin color alone, and not actual merit.

And yes, her rabid hatred for Caucasians and all they have accomplished is evident.

Mr. Hemingway:
"Stop Tolerating The Toxic Ideas Of Black Radicals"

Hold on a moment.
Let's change one word from that line above:
"Stop Tolerating The Toxic Ideas Of muslim Radicals"

Now we've all read about what distinguishes the "moderate" muslim from the "radical" one. As one ex-muslim put it:
=====================
"Every 'moderate' Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a 'moderate' Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.
It is time to put an end to the charade of "moderate Islam." There is no such thing as moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists - moderate, they are not."
-- Ali Sini
(Ali Sini is head of Faith Freedom International. FFI is a grassroots worldwide movement of ex-Muslims and all those who are concerned about the rise of the Islamic threat.)
=====================

So... if you accept what Mr. Sini has said...
What does it take for a "moderate" black to become "radical" ???

The same thing it takes to turn a tank of gasoline into a bomb...
Or a crowd into a mob...
A spark.

It does not have to have a grain of truth in it, if it pushes the already sensitive buttons, buttons kept honed to a light touch by the constant divisiveness of the Media and those proselytizing in the Church of Victimhood, where facts to the contrary of their gospel narrative are most unwelcome.

Until and unless the 'chimp-outs' and violence are slapped down hard, the crap will continue.

I love watching black women chimp out.  Makes me realize why I stay away from large groups of blacks.
