| Obama News commentator slams the racist right for the notion of White History Month! |
They've often attack the Black community and President Barack Obama for "ruining" America.
They blame us for grabbing "gubmint gibbs mes" and beating up on "da man".
And of course we're rewarded for our antics! We got Black History Month in February.
For the 28 (or 29) days in the smallest month of the year, Black Americans gather to post their achievements and remind "da man" that we've contributed to the greatness of this country.
The Cycle co-host Touré delivered a commentary that attempted to explain one of the enduring mysteries of Black History Month, and which included a modest proposal to give white people some way of gaining an advantage from their race.
Touré is up to the task, comparing the question to “fish not noticing water,” and quoting Chauncey de Vega of We Are Respectable Negroes comparing white angst over the month to “being a kid with all the toys in the world, and going to a birthday party and getting mad because another kid got a toy.”
Never one to simply curse the darkness, or blackness in this case, Touré offers up a solution: a “Race Card” for white people. The card would allow white people to use their race to get an advantage, and as Touré says, “it can be used at job sites, shopping malls, police stops, wherever where race matters.”
“The genius of it is that works just as white privilege does,” he continues. “You need do nothing to activate it. The advantage happens automatically, just like White History Month happens automatically.”
