Black = Marxist?

The recent word that is saturating the airwaves and the print media is that people who oppose the proposed socialist health care legislation are racist.

So, is what we are being told is that what it means to be “Black” or “Minority” is that one is Marxist? After all if opposing Marxist health care “reform” is equal to being “racist” one can only conclude that to oppose Marx is at the same moment to oppose minorities.

I have often contended that the problem with minority America today is that they have allowed themselves to have their minority status defined by Marxist ideology. Since Marxism is implacably opposed to Christianity the way this works out is that Minorities understand what it means to be a minority in such a way that they stand in opposition to Christianity. The fact that minorities are indeed defined by Marxist ideology can be seen by the super majorities that minorities provide in their vote for Marxist candidates in election cycles.

Now, obviously it would be ridiculous to suggest that a race is automatically identified with a ideology but that is what the main stream media is telling us. Were I a minority I would be outraged by being defined in this way.

  1. Come now, Bret, if it can be said that those who have fetus-politics that those who have femme-politics are basically eugenicists and Nazi’s why can’t the same be insinuated about your healthcare politics?

    But, as a states-rightser, I’m no fan of moralized politics either way.

  2. The traction comes from the supposed “8 years of silence,” regarding Bush’s creeping socialism…with the implication that it’s Brutha Barry’s race that’s triggered the protest. That this sophistry can be easily disproven by reference to writings from people like you from the Bush Era is ignored. The fact that many NeoCons DID support Bush, despite (because of?) his particular brand of Socialism doesn’t help a bit.

  3. Jay,

    It is a lack of political sophistication on the part of those who try to make that connection. It is true that they are both Jacobins but Bush was a Girondist while Barry is a Montagnard.

    But given that people typically can’t make this distinction explains why they can explain it all by “racism.”
