I also am 100% sure that the cartoonist didn’t read the SCOTUS opinion he’s criticizing, and only 50% sure my leftist, Trump Deranged professor friend read it.

The ugly reality is that the only Americans who openly express racist views and spew racist rhetoric are black, in great part because the myth that the Voting Rights Act is still as necessary as it was when the KKK was burning churches has been preserved and weaponized by Democrats for decades. Blacks are also the only American who can do this and not be condemned and shunned.

Here is what one NAACP group tweeted this week:

Its president said it was “seriously disturbing” that white people are being considered for interim mayor. “Why would we replace the Black outgoing Mayor with a white person?”

Gee, I don’t know…the content of their character, maybe?

Post Script: While we’re here, I have one tangential comment on a recent “gotcha” attempt by progressives. In Virginia, Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.) agreed when a conservative radio host said that Jeffries should get his “cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.” Naturally Democrats and the Axis media immediately declared that this was a “racist” remark. The NAACP, which, as you can see above, prefers direct and unambiguous racist statements, demanded an apology.

I will contribute to Kiggans’ campaign and personally campaign for her if she refuses to grovel and tells Jeffries, who is also screaming about the use of the idiom, to bite her.

In my many years of arguments, confrontations and fooling around, I have told many people to keep their “cotton-picking hands” off of this or that. I have had the phrase used on me as well. I have heard friends and relatives use the term, usually to express frustration, and never have witnessed it being said to a person of color. But since the phrase has long lost any reference to slavery, and is used as a non-specific and mild rebuke, interpreting its use in this case as racist is contrived, unfair, and unethical.

I put “Keep your cotton-picking hands off X…” in the same category with “pulling your leg,” which originally referred to London pickpockets literally pulling on the legs of victims to knock them over and rob them. “Meeting a deadline” originally referred to an actual line drawn in Civil War prison camps (like Andersonville) where a prisoner stepping across the line risked being shot dead. I must admit, I never associated “cotton-pickin'” with people who actually picked cotton until this controversy surfaced.
