Racism in America has ended. It’s finished. Kaput. Over.

Heck, everyone knows that. Dinesh D’Souza even wrote a book about it called, The End of Racism.

That’s why it’s just impossible to believe that Glenn Greenwald could discover any of it just by following a link from the most prominent conservative blogger and glancing down at the post below it that was filled with a list of “niggers.”

Shame on Greenwald for glancing downward -- it’s an outrage that he did so. It’s just not consistent with the right-wing narrative that “racism had ended” in America. It doesn’t look good that the first rock you turn over in Greater Wingnuttia has “nigger” all through the post. Damn that Greenwald, these rocks aren’t meant to be turned over.

“Americans,” wrote Jonah Goldberg in 2000, “are dealing with racial tensions in an intelligent manner, which is to say ignoring them.”

Now that’s the way things are supposed to be. We ignore racism, don’t talk about it, pretend it doesn’t exist, and write books proclaiming it has “ended” so we can feel good about ourselves. That’s how you solve the problem of racism – ignore it!

There wasn’t any problem about race until a professional “race baiter” named B. Hussein Obama started giving inflammatory speeches about it.

And now mindless Obamabots like Greenwald seem to turn up racism everywhere.

It’s an outrage.

Mark Kleiman joins in with the standard horde of right-wing blogs defending Glenn Reynolds

I will just point out that of that “horde of right-wing blogs defending Glenn Reynolds” none of them will even acknowledge Reynolds’ own culpability in his remarks about Oprah Winfrey or a post he did link to.

Those updates (3&4) have been completely ignored by all them (so far). That doesn’t fit their narrative – that Reynolds is unfairly being held accountable for something he didn’t even link to.

They are quickly changing the subject, completely ignoring the horrible racist post at a blog that Reynolds regularly links to, and insisting on giving Reynolds a pass that they have adamantly refused to give to Obama.

In sum, Obama is responsible for everything any angry black man ever said, while Glenn Reynolds is not even responsible for something he said.

No wonder they want to change the subject.

I see Greenwald has hit a nerve. In an update Reynolds rebukes him for not noting that the “Easter Post” and the racist post (cited by Greenwald) were written by two different people. That’s true, but the two posts are on the same racist website, right next to each other.

And here are some lovely sentiments that Reynolds did link to:

He doesn't understand at all -- and neither does USA Today's eager young reporter -- that African-Americans have been on a deadly collision course with feminists since the mid-seventies. These two apparent and frequently avowed allies have been competing for the same finite pool of extra privileges all along, and because there are more women and more of the women are white, it is the feminists who have done more to slow the de-racialization of America than any other force. The feminists' anti-male propaganda has inevitably done far more damage to African-American males and their role in families than it has done to white men. The feminists' gradual achievement of female hegemony over child ownership, child-rearing, and abortion decisions has done more to destroy the black family and promote the epidemic of children born out of wedlock than any conspiracy Jeremiah Wright could ever dream up. …

Even though Obama is not and never was an African-American, he has always been black enough to benefit from the superannuated slave culture that forgives every corruption and hypocrisy in those who have any claim on being black.

Methinks the Insta-cracker protests too much.

After reading Instapunk’s list of “the following people are niggers” I couldn’t help but wonder if Glenn Reynolds (in his mind) added Oprah Winfrey to that list.

On March 15, after citing an article that mentioned Oprah Winfrey was a member of Trinity Church, Reynolds wrote in an update:

That's from a 2007 Chicago Tribune piece via Hot Air. This kind of makes me see Oprah a bit differently, too. "Not many people would associate Oprah’s easygoing nature and warm, welcoming appeal with the kind of oratory provided by Wright." As with Mitt Romney on guns, I'm starting to think that they haven't been entirely straight with us.

Instapunk was quite explicit on how he thought “differently” about certain blacks calling them “niggers.” Reynolds, as always, isn’t that explicit, but his readers nevertheless will get the message he’s attempting to convey in his links.

He doesn’t have to come out and say, “Oprah is a nigger.” His links do it for him.

Indeed.

Last night on ABC News, they reported that unlike Obama and McCain, that Hillary has not released her tax returns.

Is this true? Has McCain actually released his tax returns?

Did anyone else catch this? Did ABC News just have a “slip of the tongue?”
