Jerry and the Race-Baiters

It's my understanding that race-baiting can be objective or subjective. Race can be used as bait or a race can be baited. Fundamentalist Christians are so practiced at it they do both simultaneously. There are layers to the thing and it's not ironic or unsubtle.

Take Jerry Falwell, Jr. He's salvation-central, a self-proclaimed witness for Christ and a whole-hog, racist honkey. Falwell would have everyone believe it's about standards and especially social order. Black people are associated with social disorder.

This is the pattern: these guys insist on control, muscle it through and get their way and then take no responsibility. Look at segregation and the resulting mess. Picture a ceiling-less, circular room with many doors and a test subject--say, a nigger--dropped inside. 

The room is a ghetto and not a nice place.

All the doors are locked except for the one marked "crack den." The test subject eventually walks through that door, trying to get out. Jerry screams "aha" and shows everybody and says look what the nigger did, he will bring us to ruin. People, check the other doors. 

They were all locked, including the one marked "decent, non-humiliating job."

The Falwell crowd is responsible for a lot of bad stuff and they blame it on everyone else. They believe in authority and that it must be God's authority and that they alone are His chosen representatives on earth. But I say to judge them by their standard.

You tell the tree from the fruit.

They have the hideous fruit of death and destruction and they're unaware of it. It's unconscious and savant-like, the result of decades and generations of indoctrination and the inbreeding of attitudes and associations. This shit will take us down.
