A
timely post from http://www.vdare.com about Trump racism charges. This follows this post about media bias. This follows this post about the movie Angry Birds. This follows this post about rap songs referencing Donald Trump.

A
Afictional white jury--they let the accused go free, so there's no appeal.
Annoyed at
federal judge Gonzalo P. Curiel’s persistent rulings against him in the Trump
University case (brought by a law firm that has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for
speeches by Bill and Hillary), Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump
said that maybe it’s because the judge is a second-generation Mexican
immigrant.
The entire media—and most of the
GOP—have spent 10 months telling us that Mexicans in the United States are
going to HATE Trump for saying he’ll build a wall. Now they’re outraged that
Trump thinks one Mexican hates him for saying he’ll build a wall.
Curiel has distributed scholarships to illegal aliens. He
belongs to an organization that sends lawyers to the border to ensure that no
illegal aliens’ “human rights” are violated. The name of the organization? The
San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association—”La Raza” meaning THE RACE.
Let’s pause to imagine the
nomination hearings for a white male who belonged to any organization for white
people—much less one with
the words “THE RACE” in its title.
The media were going to call Trump a
racist whatever he did, and his attack on a Hispanic judge is way better than when they said it was racist for Republicans to talk about Obama’s
golfing.
Has anyone ever complained about the
ethnicity of white judges or white juries? I’ve done some research and it turns
out … THAT’S ALL WE’VE HEARD FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS.
The New York Times alone has
published hundreds of articles, editorials, op-eds, movie reviews, sports
articles and crossword puzzles darkly invoking “white judges” and “all-white”
juries, as if that is ipso facto proof
of racist justice.
Two weeks ago—that’s not an error; I
didn’t mean to type “decades” and it came out “weeks”—the Times published an
op-ed by a federal appeals judge stating: “All-white juries
risk undermining the perception of justice in minority communities, even if a
mixed-race jury would have reached the same verdict or imposed the same
sentence.”
In other words, even when provably
not unfair, white jurors create the “perception” of unfairness solely by virtue
of the color of their skin.
Innocence Project co-founder Barry Scheck‘s entire career of springing criminals would be
gone if it were generally accepted that we can’t question judges or juries
based on race or ethnicity. Writing about the release of Glenn Ford, a black
man convicted of robbing a jewelry store and murdering the owner, Scheck [Email him]
claimed that one of the most important factors in
Ford’s death sentence was the “all-white jury.”
On the other hand, the evidence
against Ford included: His two black friends telling police he’d shown them
jewelry the day of the murder, another Ford acquaintance swearing he’d had a
.38 in his waistband—the murder weapon was a .38—and the gunshot residue on
Ford’s hand. His conviction was overturned many years later, on the theory that
his black friends had committed the murder, then framed him.
So we know 1) the “real killers”
were also black; and 2) any jury would have convicted Ford on that evidence.
Here’s how the Times described Ford’s trial: “A black man convicted of
murder by an all-white jury in Louisiana in 1984 and sentenced to die, tapped
into an equally old and painful vein of race.”
I have approximately 1 million more
examples of the media going mental about a “white judge” or “all-white jury,”
and guess what? In none of them were any of the white people involved members
of organizations dedicated to promoting white people, called “THE RACE.”
Say, does anyone remember if it ever
came up that the Ferguson police force was all white? Someone check that.
I don’t want to upset you New
York Times editorial board, but perhaps we should revisit the results of
the Nuremberg trials. Those were presided over by – TRIGGER WARNING! – “all white” juries. (How do we really know if
Hermann Göring was guilty without hearing women’s and Latino
voices?)
The model of a fair jury was the O.J. trial. Nine
blacks, one Hispanic and two whites, who had made up their
minds before the lawyers’ opening statements. (For my younger readers: O.J. was guilty; the jury acquitted him after 20 seconds of
deliberation.) At the end of the trial, one juror (right) gave O.J. the black power salute. Nothing to see here. It
was Mark Fuhrman‘s fault!
In defiance of everyday experience,
known facts and common sense, we are all required to publicly endorse the
left’s religious belief that whites are always racist, but women and minorities
are incapable of any form of bias. If you say otherwise, well, that’s “textbook racism,” according to Paul Ryan.
At least when we’re talking about
American blacks, there’s a history of white racism, so the double standard is
not so enraging. What did we ever do to Mexicans? Note to Hispanics, Muslims, women,
immigrants and gays: You’re not black.
Other than a few right-wingers, no
one denounced now-sitting Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor for her “wise
Latina” speech, in which she said “our gender and national origins may and
will make a difference in our judging.”
But Trump is a “racist” for saying
the same thing.
Six months ago, a Times editorial demanded that the Republican Senate confirm Obama
judicial nominee Luis Felipe Restrepo (right) on the grounds that “[a]s a
Hispanic,” Restrepo would bring “ethnic … diversity to the court.”
You see how confusing this is. On
one hand, it’s vital that we have more women and Latinos on the courts because
white men can’t be trusted to be fair. But to suggest that women and Latinos
could ever be unfair in the way that white men can, well, that’s “racist.”
The effrontery of this double
standard is so blinding, that the only way liberals can bluff their way through
it is with indignation. DO I HEAR YOU RIGHT? ARE YOU SAYING A JUDGE’S
ETHNICITY COULD INFLUENCE HIS DECISIONS? (Please, please, please don’t bring up
everything we’ve said about white judges and juries for the past four decades.)
They’re betting they can intimidate
Republicans—and boy, are they right!
The entire Republican Brain Trust
has joined the media in their denunciations of Trump for his crazy idea that
anyone other than white men can be biased. That’s right, Wolf, I don’t have any common sense. Would it help if
the GOP donated to Hillary?
The NeverTrump crowd is going to get
a real workout if they plan to do this every week between now and the election.
What do Republicans they think
they’re getting out of this appeasement? Proving to voters that elected
Republicans are pathetic, impotent media suck-ups is,
surprisingly, not hurting Trump.
