“My Take”
ver the past two or three years,
we have witnessed a tacit rebirth
of white nationalism in many
aspects of American society. The signs of
its ugly rise are documented everywhere
we look: the nearly all white winners
of Grammy and Oscar Awards in 2010,
almost all of the so-called print sports
analysts, literary critics, television anchors,
movie stars, film directors and producers,
university presidents, most of the talent
celebrated in the music industry these
days, in the visual arts, the literary world,
the fashion world, magazine and
newspaper editors — everywhere one
looks, if we don’t lie to ourselves, we
constantly witness celebrations of white
people and their achievements over
people of color.
If this is not the case, why then the
non-stop marketing of Country and
Western music over all other music or
the glorification of nascar automobile
racing and golf and hockey stars
over basketball stars? Could it be that
nascar, golf and hockey are dominated
by white players many of them
Republicans and the latter by black
players who mostly vote Democratic.?
Just a thought. And why did media
coverage and whites in general cheer
Tiger Woods’ and Michael Vick’s
downfall; why are both Woods and
Vick so hated by many white people
