Imus no longer in the Morning.

Why are so many European Americans so upset with the firing of Don Imus? The answer is because this is and has always been a country and land designed to be of the European people, by the European people and for the European people. If you don't believe me, just check recorded history. In other words, America is still Amerikkka. In light of this manifest the expectation of European Americans is that everything should always go in the favor of and to the benefit of European Americans first and foremost. When it does not, they feel they are loosing out.

The Imus incident, like the OJ incident, inspires fear in European Americans. What is the fear? The fear is that this nation and land is straying from its manifest of being the land of the European peoples, by the European peoples and for the European peoples. Historically, right or wrong, things nearly always worked out the way European Americans wanted them to work out. Today, however, as highlighted by the OJ case and now Imus, high profile incidents are not always going to the favor of European American interest and wishes, regardless of right and wrong.

The problem is that the whole mindset of European Americans is distorted by the historical manifest of this nation. In short, European Americans, as a collective, are spoiled brats who are used to having everything their way. This is not to say that there have not been sub groups within the collective, like the Irish, where what was true for the collective was not that true for them. However, as a collective, European Americans have always been granted preference over African Americans and Native Americans, the two largest historically oppressed groups in this nation. Consequently, like a spoiled child, European Americans really do not have a clue of what fairness actually feels or looks like.

European Americans, the collective, if not a particular individual who is such, see the loss of European American privilege as unfairness. You see, one cannot go from unfairness to fairness without the previous beneficiaries of unfairness loosing something that they once had. Think of any spoiled child and their reaction to attempts to no longer spoil them. They will feel as if they are being punished and wronged because something they once enjoyed is being taken away. Unfairness to them thus becomes any act or attempt that seeks to diminish the advantages and privileges that they once enjoyed. Hence, there is no way for America to become a more fair society without a dismantling of European American Privilege, which will create anger.

What European Americans need to understand is that fairness implies an equality of unfairness. European Americans fight to preserve or limit the debilitating affects of racial unfairness to African Americans. We all know that anti-black discrimination still exists, despite laws. We all know that African Americans are still impacted by the effects of 300 years of past discrimination and racism. These realities weigh negatively upon African American forward progress, while European Americans are not weighed down with such. Yet, when society tries to redistribute unfairness via programs like Affirmative Actions, European Americans fight to keep the burden of unfairness disproportionately upon African Americans. Again, it’s the spoiled brat syndrome. The brat will continue to resist threats and change to their status quo unless it’s to given them more.

The biggest enemy of current European Americans is past European Americans. Think about it. It works like this. European Americans do things to maximize and increase their standard of living, often at the expense of non Europeans. Think of racial slavery in America as an example. Every action reverberates into a future reaction, however. Consequently, those future reactions are often passed on to the next generation of European Americans, as well as the benefit of the original action. Present day European Americans thus respond aversely to the negative reactions created from their forefathers actions. Hence, what irk European Americans today are reactions that manifested from European Americans actions in the past. In other words, if it was not for the actions of Europeans Americans in the past, the reaction that they dislike would never exist.

The civil rights era leaders like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are all the product and reaction to European Americans who denied civil rights to African Americans for several hundred years. Hence, there would be no civil rights leaders angering millions of European Americans if millions of European Americans in the past had not decided to benefit from denying the civil rights of millions of African Americans. One has to be intelligent enough to know that every present action creates a future reaction. Hence, its not African American leaders that are really ticking off present European Americans, rather, they are ticked off at the liabilities passed on to them by past European Americans. This is rather hypocritical though, because European Americans have no problem enjoying the benefits past to them from the acts of past Europeans, just the liabilities. The benefits, though, were created from the liabilities, but European Americans wants to keep the assets passed to them, but just not the bill for the liabilities.

This whole Imus incident has become more about Jesse Jackson and Al Shapton than about Imus. European Americans are most angered not about what Imus said, but their perception that it props up the stature, exposure and credibility of people like Jackson and Sharpton. That’s what ticks them off. European American, as a collective, is less concerned with the impact of white racism upon non whites than they are with the impact of white racism upon the reputation of whites. European American seems to have decided that they will henceforth see and promote America as being free from the scourge of white racism. They seek to decouple continued black problems from past or present white racism. Consequently, in this fantasy view, Jackson and Sharpton are the bad guys for falsely promoting the idea that white racism still exist. Then Don Imus comes along and uses the phrase “Nappy headed hoes” and gives legitimacy to Sharpton and Jackson and the corollary of illegitimacy of the fantasy that white racism is dead. This is what really angers European American, the legitimizing of Sharpton and Jackson and the de-legitimizing of their illusion or should I say the exposing of their deception.

What I have learned is that European Americans are really hurt by the label of racist. Racism has become their scarlet letter and they are highly uncomfortable and defensive about the accusation. You will not even find traditional hate groups who have members who will self describe themselves as racist. That is because calling someone a racist, to them, is like calling them Evil, while they want to see themselves and America as righteous. European Americans do not want to appear morally inferior in regards to race. Thus, they live in denial and manifest cognitive dissonance in regards to race. They also try to make everyone else equally racist, if not more, so that in the juxtaposition they will not seem like the morally inferior group. Yet, one would be hard pressed to find evidence of black people every doing to white people what white people have done to black people in degree and kind. Yet, European Americans like to paint African Americans as equally racist, when in fact, we are just reacting to what they did to us.
