Criminals used kryptonite to foil
Superman. And hypocritical, racist countries use Sharptonite to try to foil freedom and democracy.
If you like Al Sharpton, you’ll love the U.N. Conference Against Racism.
This past weekend’s confab in Durban, South Africa took a page from The World According to Sharp: Al Sharpton’s Playbook on Hypocrisy for Dummies.
The so-called Conference “Against” Racism was nothing more than party-time for third-world despots and racists calling the kettle – the U.S. and Israel – black. With a dash of Jesse Jackson thrown in for extra vile flavor.
It’s a great study of the ridiculous, really.
Countries, like Sudan and Mauritania – whose Moslem governments actively encourage and engage in selling millions of black Christians into slavery – label the U.S. racist and call for it to pay reparations to black Americans who are generations removed from U.S. slavery that ended in the 1800s. These same countries also call Israel a racist country, though blacks, Moslems, and Christians live freely within its democratic borders and are much better off than the impoverished, underclass minions “living” within their own borders. In Israel, they actually have running water, refrigerators, electricity, and cable TV. And they can vote, speak, and worship freely. Not so for black Christian slaves in Africa, sentenced to a life highlighted by torture, rape and murder.
Allied with these enslavers is Palestinian terrorist-cum-leader Yasser Arafat, whose labeling of Israel as racist is beyond comical. I can eat anywhere in the U.S., including Sbarro – the pizza chain. But if I go to Israel, I risk being blown to bits by one of his suicide bombers – not because I am a Zionist or an Israeli, but because I am Jewish. There were many Americans murdered and wounded at Jerusalem’s Sbarro eatery, in August, and their only crime – in the eyes of the Arafat-sanctioned suicide bomber – was being Jewish.
When Arafat’s hijackers took over planes, they attacked passengers with Jewish-sounding surnames, not Israeli or Zionist ones. And, regularly, on his Palestinian government-run television, Islamic clerics regularly spout Nazi-like anti-Semitic vitriol, calling for death to the Jews and to America, not just to Israel or to Zionism. A recent poll shows 80 percent of Arafat’s people support suicide bombings against Jews. Arafat’s delegates to the Racism Conference regularly attacked and confronted Jewish delegates – many of whom had nothing to do with Israel – merely because they were Jewish. But there is no racism or bigotry there, right?
The same goes for the 20-some Arab and Moslem countries joining the conference resolutions against both America and Israel. Intolerant countries, which regularly murder and discriminate against Palestinians, Christians, women, blacks and others – countries, like Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Taliban-infested Afghanistan and Sudan – need to look in the mirror on racism.
It’s just like Sharpton, really – the ultimate racist calling others racists. So, it’s no surprise that Sharpton and his friends proudly support these ludicrous statements and “principles” – like U.S. reparations to black Americans – endorsed by the Durban conference. Like the U.N. conventioneers, while Sharpton hollers about racism against blacks, he’s the constant perpetrator of racism against whites and Jews.
In 1991, Sharpton incited riots, terrorism, and murder against whites and Jews in Crown Heights, New York. Leading 400 protesters and stirring mobs, four nights of violent rock- and bottle-throwing and the stabbing-murder of Yankel Rosenbaum, resulted from Sharpton’s shouts of “diamond merchants” and his followers’ chants of “kill the Jew.” In 1995, Sharpton incited the burning down of “Freddie’s Fashion Mart,” which he called a “white interloper” business in Harlem. No matter that the store employed mostly blacks and Hispanics, and that at least seven
people – mostly black and Hispanic – were killed in the Sharpton-inspired arson, while he led chants of “Bloodsucking Jews!”
It’s so akin to the Racism Conference, it’s incredible. The conference participants are essentially yelling the same thing as Sharpton’s thugs while they continue to practice the same thing they falsely accuse the U.S. and Israel of.
It’s also interesting who is being called on to pay the reparations. Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo demanded a U.S. apology for the crimes of slavery and colonialism, which would “recognize the wrong that was committed against Africans and constitute a promise that such an atrocity would never happen again.” Sorry, President Obasanjo, but that promise will have to come from you and your fellow African countries, whose inhabitants sold out their brothers and sold them into slavery centuries ago. And are still doing so today. Ditto to Togo President Gnassingbe Eyadema, who demanded U.S. cancellation of all African debt – debt assumed by African leaders who spend it to enrich themselves and arm their countries for war.
Like most black Americans, but more markedly so, Sharpton has it better off here as the descendant of slaves, then he’d ever have had it in tribal Africa, where his ancestors’ fellow black countrymen – not our ancestors – sold his ancestors into slavery. In Africa, it’s doubtful that he’d ever graduate from track suits and medallions to an amply pinstriped jailbird visited by Hillary Clinton and other Democratic Party glitterati. A year ago, I was on a plane with Al Sharpton. I wonder if he paid reparations to the man he ordered around carrying his garment bag. While Sharpton fully stuffed his first-class seat, the servant sat with the rest of us prospective reparations payers in coach.
It’s also no surprise that Sharpton’s buddies, the three stooges of demogoguery, outrage, and hypocrisy – Jackson, Fidel Castro, and Arafat – were the most prominent figures at this convention of idiots. Castro chastised the U.S. for racism and slavery and demanded U.S. reparations as “an unavoidable moral duty to the victims of racism.” Amazing. Everybody knows that there is absolutely no racism in Cuba. That’s why a recent report showed that blacks are not allowed to hold jobs in hotels and other tourist-laden concerns in Castro-land. Cuban blacks aren’t the only miserable demographic there. Everyone’s a slave in Castro’s dump.
Contrast today’s conditions in America with those in countries so quick to point the blame. Most black Americans are middle class. Discrimination against whites is government policy – affirmative action. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan are the most popular pop-culture figures and highest-paid endorsers, even though Jordan is retired from basketball. Black pop singer Aaliyah’s death was big news, and her funeral stopped traffic in New York. But, I suppose, we are racist, regardless, for enforcing the rules against 14-year-old Dominican Little Leaguer Danny Almonte. Since he’s Hispanic, we’ve done wrong against this transgressor, too, in the eyes of the world’s hypocrites – probably the next cause celebre of Sharpton, Johnny Cochran, and the U.N. Conference Against Racism.
With so much predictable absurdity at this gathering of oppressors and dictatorships, a Trekkie convention would have been more exciting. And a lot more meaningful.
Beam me up, Scottie. There’s no intelligent life at the U.N. Conference Against Racism.
