“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
– George Orwell, 1984
You can\’t make this stuff up.
This headline is pulled straight from whitehouse.gov, where it was put up two days ago and remains intact to this moment:
FACTSHEET: Opportunity for all: President Obama Launches My Brother\’sKeeper Initiative to Build Ladders of Opportunity For Boys and YoungMen of Color
Opportunity for all….provided you are a boy or young man “of Color” (i.e. Black). If you are not Black – or not a boy or young man – then get lost. You\’re not invited.
Let me say again that I am not making this up. Use the link I\’ve provided and see for yourself.
Now, keeping in mind that this overtly racist program was announced over two weeks ago…
…have you caught the outraged stories about it from mainstream media yet? Seen the furious commentaries on the network news shows? The morning shows?
You haven\’t? WHY NOT? Do they favor overt racism emanating from the White House? Are they afraid that speaking up about it would mean they will be called racists?
As this so clearly shows, George Orwell was not just a writer. He was a prophet.
I will end this blog the way I ended my February 12th blog – the one I\’ve provided a link to above.
Real racism. It comes in all forms, from all sources. No group is immune to it, or from it. Certainly not an administration which has no problem with racism – as long as the preferred group benefits from it.
