What is it with the Democratic left and their habit of turning racist at the drop of a hat? The progressive movement has always been shot-through with racism and bigotry but you’d think that after a hundred years of it, they would have come around.
If any conservative blogger or columnist were to post a black Sambo eating a watermelon the entire netroots would erupt in feigned outrage at the modern day lynching. But it’s standard operating procedure on the left. Michael Steele was attacked as Sambo himself. And recall Jane Hamsher’s blackface attack on Senator Joseph Lieberman. And via Memeorandum, Roy Erdoso’s literally got a post up this morning entitled “Black Comedy,” calling out Red State’s outstanding post which hammers President Barack Obama’s shameful hypocrisy and malign neglect for black kids in D.C.’s school voucher program.
The truth is that leftists don’t care about the advancement of minorities, they care about the advancement of their own power.
Old habits die hard, I suppose.

To the left, we are racist/sexist since we don’t want to cater to people because of their skin color/gender. We want TRUE equality.
We call THEM racist/sexist because of the subtle smear they perpetuate by saying “You’re not good enough to succeed because your black/a woman, and they can’t succeed without help. Luckily, we’re here for you!”
True racism/sexism is believing in inferiority due to circumstances beyond a person’s control.
