There was a time in the not-so-distant past when white people could be racist and not crazy. In those days widespread institutionalized racism did exist. Many black people suffered discrimination merely because they were black. Anti-black bigotry was common, frequent, and accepted. That cultural milieu enabled many white racists to delude themselves into believing that they were morally proper and emotionally stable despite their hateful racist ideology.
Today, anti-black racism still exists, but it is not nearly so common, frequent, or accepted. Because our society has taken explicit and implicit stands against anti-black bias, today no sane white person can express anti-black opinions or actions and then pretend to be either rational or moral.
Not so for blacks. For decades, raceketeer leaders, secular and religious, directly and indirectly have told African Americans that they should be inter-racially suspicious. The purveyors of those ideas literally profited from them at least as far back as 1968 as was true with Black Rage by psychiatrists Cobbs and Grier, and at least as recently as 2008 with John L. Jackson's Racial Paranoia. We all remember too well Jeremiah Wright's 2003 "God Damn America" sermon and how Barack Obama in his 1995 Dreams from My Father spoke of his communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis advising him that whites have reason to fear blacks.
So, while whites are discouraged from race-based suspicion and prejudicial judgments of blacks, African Americans are taught just the opposite concerning whites. Blacks get a big green "go" for any and all anti-white paranoia.
Where does Barack Obama, Eric Himpton Holder, the Congressional Black Caucus, the Office of Civil Rights, the NAACP, and the thousands of other guardians of racial justice stand on this issue? The silence is deafening
