No, really. The following was emanated at Breitbart’s Big Stupid websites.

In the early stages of the Shirley Sherrod controversy, the media began to craft the narrative Shirley Sherrod was the embodiment of the term “post-racial.” Then on July 22nd on Anderson Cooper 360, this happened:

SHIRLEY SHERROD: I think he [BREITBART] would like to get us stuck back in the times of slavery. That’s where I think he would like to see all black people end up again. And that’s why…

COOPER: You think — you think he’s racist?

SHERROD: … I think he’s so vicious. Yes, I do.

Why, she as good as lynched Andrew Breitbart. And now his career is in ruins, he has been fired, his party has turned against him, the media won’t take him seriously, he is a pariah, these are all the inevitable horrific consequences of being called a racist on National Teevee.

Or, you know, not.

Anyway, AC apologized for his Racial Thought Crime. You can see the abjection at the video linked in the, uh, link. And then he very helpfully assigned a young black reporter to Take Seriously all sorts of ridiculous horseshit from the Wingnuttosphere, thus proving once more that Liberals Control Teh Media with a Cheesecloth Fist.

Anyway, I’ve already said this as well as I could, in another context, so permit me to quote myself in public:

Can we just pause for a moment and consider what black people feel, or if that makes anyone uncomfy, what Shirley Sherrod is likely to be feeling here? “I grew up with members of my family murdered by white people and their system, and this made me distrust white people and their system, and then I had an epiphany about how some white people need help through the system, and because I said that, I got called a racist, my reputation got pissed on, I got fired, and now if I dare to say white people and their system are unfair, I’m the oppressor?”

Meh. Meh. Meh. Meh. GAH.

In 2010, all the MSM deference is to the feelings of shitheaded palefaces like those predisposed to fall for Breitbartian race-baiting bullshit.

A post-racial society, my pasty Celtic posterior. A post racist-society, I’d settle for.
