America is currently passing through a Renaissance of sorts. As is usually the case, those in politics and the media represent the growing trends of the day. The current champions of the newly forming American Renaissance are figures like Rush Limbaugh. The words and thoughts he is throwing around as of late are that of a bygone era being reborn. He was recently touted as second to only former presidential candidate John McCain in terms of Republican Party leadership ability and has even been touted as a possible candidate for 2012 himself. His recent thoughts on Haiti and President Obama reveal what a frightening prospect this is and how America as country is socially digressing, the fabric of its triumphant evolution into a world leader disintegrating before our very eyes.
Before even mentioning his latest barrage of hatred, no one should be surprised that this man is capable of outright racism. This is a man who has referred to the President of the United States as a halfrican, an affirmative action candidate, and even Barack the Magic Negro. He has also called Obama more African than American, more Arab than African, and has claimed that Obama’s Presidency is all about making reparations for the suffering of Black people in the United States. This is man who said “They’re only 12% of the population. Who the hell cares?” when refering to the numbers of African Americans living in the United States and “take that bone out of your nose and call me back” to a black woman on his radio show.
All this is why no one should be surprised at what he said following the horrors unfolding in Haiti. His words are below:
“In the Haiti earthquake, ladies and gentlemen, in the words of Rahm Emanuel, we have another crisis simply too good to waste. This’ll play right into Obama’s hands — humanitarian, compassionate. They’ll use this to burnish their, shall we say, credibility with the black community — both light-skinned and dark-skinned.”
Limbaugh also seemed to suggest that Americans had no need to donate to relief efforts:
“We’ve already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.”
There is much that is right with America. Thousands of troops on the ground in Haiti to help with recovery efforts and 100 million dollars came almost instantly is a prime example. What’s wrong with the United States of America is that a man like Rush Limbaugh can say all that you see above without consequence and worse still, be seen by others to be worthy of leading. Stop letting this man embarrass you America. Do something about, before it’s too late.
