Whites Should Not Be Allowed To Vote ! Says Marxist Newspaper Columnist
* Hatred for Whites disguised as satire, by
a self loathing "White".
White people shouldn't
be allowed to vote
It's for the good of the country and for
those who're bitter for a reason and
armed because they're scared.

As a lifelong Caucasian, I am beginning to think the time has finally come
to take the right to vote away from white people, at least until we come
to our senses. Seriously, I just don't think we can be trusted to exercise
it responsibly anymore.
I give you Exhibit A: The last eight years.
In 2000, Bush-Cheney stole the election, got us attacked, and then got us
into two no-exit wars. Four years later, white people reelected them. Is not
the repetition of the same behavior over and over again with the
expectation of a different outcome the very definition of insanity? (It is, I
looked it up.)
Exhibit B is any given Sarah Palin rally.
Exhibit C would be Ed Rendell and John Murtha, who in separate moments
of on-the-record candor they would come to regret, pointing out that
there are plenty of people in Pennsylvania who just cannot bring
themselves to pull the lever for a black man - no matter what they
tell pollsters.
These people are ruining things for the rest of us white people who are
ready to move on. Sure, they have their reasons, chimerical though they
may be: He's a Muslim. He's a terrorist. He's a Muslim terrorist. He's going
to fire all the white people and give their jobs to blacks.
But those are just the little white lies these people allow themselves to
be told, a self-induced cognitive dissonance that lets them avoid saying the
unsayable: I cannot pull the lever for a black man.
Hey, some people just aren't ready yet, even the governor said so. Just
like some people aren't ready yet for computers or setting the clock on
the VCR.
Or, to hear Murtha tell it, some people - specifically some people in
Western Pennsylvania - will never be ready. But the fact is, if you did a
statewide head count of racists, you'd find just as many in eastern
Pennsylvania as you would in the western part of the state.
That's why this ban on white people voting I'm proposing has got to be
statewide. And I'm sorry to say, it's going to have to include all white
people, even those who would vote for Obama, because you can't just
let some white people vote. That would be unfair.
By this point, you either think I am joking or are calling me an elitist. I
assure you I am neither. OK, maybe a little of both. But it wasn't always
like this. I come from the Coal Belt, from that Alabamian hinterland
between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, as per James Carville's famous
formulation.
I am, in fact, just two generations out of the coal mines that blackened
the lungs of my grandfather, leaving him disabled, despondent and,
finally,dead at the ripe old age of 54.
So, understand that I am saying all this for the good of the country and,
in fact, for the good of those hard-working white people that Hillary used
to pander to.
I know those people, I come from them. They are not some shameful
abstract demographic to be brushed under the rug of euphemism by
Wolf Blitzer and his ilk.
I have broken kielbasa with those people. I went to school with their
children. I have gone to Sunday Mass with a deer-hunter hangover with
those people. They are bitter with good reason, and they are armed
because they are scared. They mean well, but they are easily spooked.
I fear for what is to become of them after the campaigns leave town for
the last time, and Scranton and Allentown and Carlisle go back to being
the long dark chicken dance of the national soul they were before the
media showed up.
