We're All Closeted Racists

Unfortunately, if you're Caucasian, everything you're doing not to further the cause of a minority is racist.

Sorry, I know you don't want to hear that you're constantly acting in a racist manner, but we can no longer deny facts.

And please excuse those of us who can't keep up with the definition of "racism" as it changes frequently and seems to differ based on which minority is speaking.

Because I think we missed the day where the definition of racism changed from, "discrimination based on race," to, "not asking yourself, 'will my actions assist a minority group,' before doing anything."

Because if every action we take is not to further the success of a minority; we're racist.

During the 2008 Presidential Campaign between Barack Obama and John McCain, bringing up the fact that Barack Obama had a spiritual guru who'd uttered phrases such as "God damn America," and, "the US of KKK," was considered racist.

Again, even mentioning the aforementioned Jeremiah Wright was considered racist; though it had nothing to do with the fact that Reverend Wright or then Senator Obama are African-Americans.

Why? Because those vile enough to bring up the subject of Reverend Wright and his fervent Anti-Americanism weren't furthering the career of Senator Obama or Reverend Wright.

Let's talk college football.

If you choose to hire a Caucasian coach to lead your college football team, you are a racist.

It doesn't matter what your reasons are; no African-American head coach equals blatant racism.

Why?

Because the racists in question are not living every moment of their life to reverse decades of racism.

When you download a CD from iTunes, do you choose the new Travis Tritt, Jewel, or John Mayer offering? Or do you go with a 50 Cent, Kanye West or Lil Wayne recording?

If you answered Travis Tritt, Jewel or John Mayer, why that means you're a racist.

Just like it doesn't matter if there is a legitimate reason to hire a Caucasian coach, it doesn't matter if you went with Travis Tritt because you like country music, Jewel because you enjoy her soothing voice or John Mayer because you're confused about your sexuality. No, none of that matters. It only matters that you didn't further the career of a minority.

Shame on you.

Don't buy music from a Caucasian artist that you'll enjoy; buy music produced by a minority and learn to like it.

Because it's not about what you want; it's about what's best for the minority community as dictated by the minority community.*

Remember, what you want has nothing to do with you; and if you think differently... why you're a raving bigot.

*Minority community retains the ability to change their mind on a whim.
