Season of Hypocrisy

My my my what a playoff loss does to a team's fans, or fan, I guess I should say.  As in The Washington Post's Courtland Milloy.  Mr. Milloy who over the past eight weeks has had no interest in ruining the Washington Redskin's success while they went seven and zero to secure a playoff spot has now seemingly found the need to pounce on the issue of the team name after their loss, calling it bad karma for a racist moniker.

Yet, for some reason, it seems Mr. Milloy didn't have time to mention it when the season was ongoing and the team was winning, now with a playoff loss, he says "Washington’s professional football team has raked up one disappointing season after another since 1992 — the year D.C. resident Suzan Harjo became the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit seeking to change the team’s disparaging name" - a lawsuit he seems unwilling to admit she lost.  Nonetheless, Mr. Milloy is a champion of civil rights issues.

He likes to complains about why the GOP is so white (predominantly racist) or why blacks don't play baseball (not enough resurces).  He even complains about Denzel Washington's kissing in the movie Flight (apparently his heart wasn't into it kissing a white woman).

I have to wonder if he concerns himself with any other significant issues other than the racism he seems to see to justify his rampant reverse racism.  I note he has not come running to the defense of Irishmen everywhere concerned about Notre Dame's use of the fighting Irish symbol, nor is he concerned about white men with black women in movies.  His articles are inbstead the usual drivel...the GOP are white and therefore racists, despite the fact that it was President Lincoln who signed the Emancipation Proclamation and it was the religious beliefs of Republicans in the mid 19th century that brought about the abolition of slavery.  His "Democratic" Party fought vigorously to continue the subjugation of men, even to the modern day when Klansmen United States Senator Robert Byrd worked against equal rights for all men.

It is sad that the Washington Post spends so much of its ink on a writer whose only ability seems to be finding racial fault lines in places where they likely would not exist.  The responsibility he seems to show to the issue of race is non existent and that is unfortunate because he demonstrates his only interest is in setting fires, not extinguishing them.  Unfortunate that this is the level of leadership all too often shown, claim racism and stoke a fire until some change is made, which doesnt address any inequity and is disconnected from reality like an apple that has fallen from the tree.  Or in this case, since I am white and I am sure he will claim a racist, the cacao seed falling from the South American evergreen tree.
