As most of us now know, Paula Deen has admitted to having used \u201cthe N-word\u201d at some time in her life, most memorably when, some 30 years ago or so, she provided her husband with a description of a black thug who put a gun to her head while he robbed the bank at which Deen worked.\u00a0 This thug was also an ingrate, as it turned out, for Deen had previously gone out of her way to help him get a loan.<\/p>\n
For this, the agents of the Racism Industrial Complex (RIC) have been busy crucifying her.<\/p>\n
The treatment to which Paula Deen has been subjected is nothing more or less than an outrage.\u00a0 Yet, ultimately, her plight has little to do with either Deen or any effort to combat so-called \u201cwhite racism.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to being a white Southerner, Deen is a heterosexual and Christian.\u00a0 She also happens to be a remarkably successful entrepreneur, a \u201ccapitalist,\u201d whose rags-to-riches life story at once embodies and vindicates the American Dream.\u00a0 Yet it is precisely in all of these respects that Deen represents what, historically, amounts to an American norm\u2014an America that the left has been laboring long and hard to destroy.<\/p>\n
In other words, the Paula Deen issue isn\u2019t about Paula Deen; it is about the fundamental transformation <\/i>of America.<\/p>\n
That Deen\u2019s critics aren\u2019t in the least concerned with \u201cracism\u201d can easily be gotten from the fact that even as they wail and gnash their teeth over her admission to having used \u201cthe N-word\u201d three decades ago, their silence is deafening when it comes to the shocking levels and nature of black-on-white violence.<\/p>\n
For example, just six weeks ago or so, George Thomas went to trial one more time in Knoxville, Tennessee\u2014and once more, he was found guilty of the crime for which he was tried.\u00a0 Chances are, the reader hasn\u2019t a clue as to who George Thomas is.<\/p>\n
And this is the problem.<\/p>\n
Thomas, you see, is black, and in 2007, along with four other blacks, including one woman, he carjacked, abducted, tortured, raped, and murdered a young white couple\u2014Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.<\/p>\n
According to Jamie Sutterfield, a reporter for the Knoxville News Sentinel<\/i>, a medical examiner\u2014Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan\u2014testified at the trial of one of the defendants that \u201cNewsom was repeatedly raped and then blindfolded, gagged, arms and feet bound and his head covered.\u201d\u00a0 Then, while \u201cbarefoot, he was either led or dragged outside the house to a set of nearby railroad tracks, where a gun was placed to the back of his head and fired.\u00a0 He was shot twice more, once in the neck and once in the back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, his \u201cbody was\u2026set on fire [.]\u201d<\/p>\n
Christian, though, wouldn\u2019t die until hours later\u2014after unrelenting \u201csexual torture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Continuing with her summation of the medical examiner\u2019s findings, Sutterfield writes: \u201cChristian suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus, and mouth. She was not only raped, but savaged with \u2018an object\u2019\u2026She was beaten in the head.\u00a0 Some type of chemical was poured down her threat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, likely scrubbed by the same solution\u2014all while Christian was alive [.]\u201d<\/p>\n
Yet Christian\u2019s ordeal was not over.\u00a0 \u201cShe was then \u2018hog-tied,\u2019 with curtains and strips of bedding, her face covered tightly with a small white trash bag and her body stashed inside five large trash bags before being placed inside a large trash can and covered with sheets.\u201d<\/p>\n
The medical examiner concluded that \u201cChristian died slowly, suffocating [.]\u201d<\/p>\n
There is no question that had Newsom and Christian been black and their assailants white, there is no one in America, and probably even in the Western world, who would be unfamiliar with their names.\u00a0 In the real word, though, thanks to both the hypocritical and cowardly nature of our racial politics as well as the shamelessness and remorselessness of the Racism-Industrial-Complex\u2014including and particularly the media\u2014they and their tormentors remain largely unknown.<\/p>\n
And Paula Deen is persona-non-grata.<\/p>\n
Jesus said of the Pharisees that they were a \u201cbrood of vipers,\u201d hypocrites who \u201cstrained out the gnat\u201d while \u201cletting in the camel.\u201d In essence, the Pharisees obsessed over the little things while ignoring those matters that really <\/i>mattered.\u00a0 The same is true of the \u201canti-racists\u201d who are now gunning for Paula Deen\u2014but who turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the George Thomases of the world.<\/p>\n
To be sure, the Paula Deen brouhaha has little to do with her and nothing to do with stopping \u201cracism.\u201d It is inspired by a vision to fundamentally transform America.<\/p>\n
This vision is typically called \u201cPolitical Correctness.\u201d\u00a0 But maybe it would be more accurate to call it Pharisaic Correctness. <\/i><\/p>\n
