This is what I emailed to Countdown at MSNBC:
HELLO
“I have some questions for her. Please tell her she is wacked out on her statements of the Tea Parties.
“Racism? I’m black and from Chicago, the most segregated city in the North. When I was younger in the 60’s, a large stone came through our house because we moved into a new neighborhood. (By the way, these were not the ‘racist Republicans.’ These were all white Democrats. Were not the white Democrats supposed to love black people?) I have experienced racism up close and personal many times in Chicago, all white Democrats, even on a daily basis at one time. I have even been “Heil Hitlered” by Neo-Nazis.
“When it comes to racism, I was out on the playing field getting knocked down for years. She was sitting in the nosebleed section of the bleachers just watching and eating hotdogs and going home unscathed. Her attempt to somehow sympathize with black people is very pathetic and very phony. She is only fooling herself with her rhetoric.
“Racism is only a nice spectator sport for her.
“If she really cared about black people, she would have been outraged about the four black students shot in New Jersey where she is from. Three of them died. But I did not hear a sound from her. As a matter of fact, here is what I found on Google: “Your search - ‘Janeane Garofalo’ ‘black students shot - did not match any documents.” It was on the news everyplace. What is she doing to stop the deliberate destruction of the black community? Her actions speak so loud I cannot hear a word she says.
“I dare say, if she was offered a million dollars to change her skin color to my color, she would not do it. Please tell her that for me. She benefits from the same white privilege that she pretends she is against. How clever. I know blacks much better than her and we can see that through that phoniness, but she cannot. She is completely blind yet touts herself as an expert in racial relations.
“If you can give her my phone number I would appreciate it. It is XXX-XXX-XXXX. She needs to learn what racism is about from one who has experienced it and knows more about it than she would care to know.”
I really want her to call me back.
My message to these phony white “civil rights” liberals is until you have walked 51 years in my shoes, you are completely clueless about racism. I experienced racism on a daily basis for 4 years when I was in high school in Chicago. When I wanted to visit a white friend in a fraternity at the University of Illinois, I was told by one of the frat brothers “We don’t want any trouble here,” and he turned me away. I had a racist boss in Ohio and that was not my choice. When I was walking a street in Texas, I heard from a car “Hey, you’re a nigger!” and “Hooray for niggers! Hooray for niggers!” I was even turned away from a motel in Canada because of my skin color. And I repeat, over 95% of racism I encountered was from WHITE DEMOCRATS and not Republicans. What does that say about you? You all sit with Ms. Garofalo in the nosebleed section of the bleachers while I played on field taking the blows. You think you are the experts in racism? You have the gall to talk about who is racist and who is not. You white Garofalo fans would not trade places with me, to go through what I have gone through and probably will go through. You white Garofalo fans criticize white Republicans and conservatives but just like Garofalo, you also benefit from white privilege and you would not give that up yourselves. I was born and raised in Chicago, a racist city, where I heard little boys on the street near White Sox Park say “White Power! White Power!” By the way, that was a 100% Democratic neighborhood. I have the utmost authority to say who is racist and who is not. I can also tell who are the white phonies who claim they love black people but don’t realize they don’t fool me. I have lived through racism. You have no authority whatsoever to flippantly call people racist. Besides that you are not thought too highly thought about with black Democrats. You are never praised or discussed in black conversation. The vast majority of Blacks do not even listen to Air America.
Just sit down and shut up.
A black journalist writes:
"Inasmuch as America's awareness is shaped in a great measure by the media – evidenced by Obama's very election – the likelihood that black activists who promote the politics of division, victimization and entitlement will gain more influence within the black community and more legitimacy among Americans at large is a dark prospect indeed."
