Allen West, Tim Scott, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Herman Cain, Mia Love are fighting true racism-commenter

"Maybe Richard Trumka would like to describe his feelings toward people like this...?"

8/19/12, "Obama's defenders cry wolf on racism," Washington Examiner Editorial

"New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait wrote in late July that anger over President Obama's disparagement of small-business owners ("You didn't build that") really came from the fact that it was delivered in "black dialect." Earlier this month, AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka accused the members of his own union who did not back Obama in 2008 of doing so out of "pure racism." Last week, Vice President Joe Biden told a crowd in Danville, Va., that the Republican ticket wanted to "put y'all back in chains."

The disturbing theme is unmistakable. It is quickly becoming standard for Obama's defenders to brand all criticism of or opposition to the nation's first black president as somehow motivated by racial animus....

Those who lightly and carelessly attribute racism in this way are only undermining legitimate societal hatred of real racism. If they ever succeed in racializing every innocent statement and act, they will only cause Americans to stop taking real racism seriously. The boy who cried wolf, as everyone knows, was eventually devoured."...

People like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams, Herman Cain, Allen West, etc etc...they are the true back heroes in my book. I see the courage they display every day in rowing against the tide of true racism, the kind that demands all black people think in lock step. Maybe Richard Trumka would like to describe his feelings toward people like this...?"

#5-you are so right.

Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Herman Cain, Allen West, Ken Blackwell (don't forget Mia Love in Utah), etc are the Rosa Parks of the debate.
The democrats are trying to keep them in the back of the bus."

Ed. note: It's also about getting the accused to react, see #8 and #10.
