Yes it is racist to be proud of being 'black' or to applaud 'black success' when it is not okay to be proud of being 'white' or to applaud 'white success.'
Black person: I earned my credentials and it wasn't because of affirmative action. - That's okay.
White person: I earned my credentials and it wasn't because of affirmative action. - That's not okay. That's racist.
It is absolutely stupid. And personally, I think the very worst kind of racist these days is the one who won't allow us to be color blind, won't allow us to deep six political correctness, and won't allow us to treat skin color as having no more significance than hair color or eye color.
I disagree. Despite making absurd statements along the lines of what Foxx said, blacks have very little clout in deciding who or what's racist or not. It's the media who's to blame. OK, you've got hustlers who rely on accusations and instances of racism to make a living, but they rely on the media to broadcast their views. Otherwise no-one would even know who they are.
Although the tacit derision of whites often comes from the mouths of black personalities and celebrities, it's the media that whips it into a storm. They're the ones that extrapolate and prolong what would otherwise be regarded as a rather asinine comment. Blacks are by no means the "most talented". Even blacks in the audience must've known how absurd it was. Blacks weren't the first people on the Moon, neither did they harness the atom.
Perhaps the media prolonged this to boost black self-esteem. But I doubt it. What I'm about to present often attracts accusations of having an over-active imagination, but the evidence outweighs any other explanation.
This New World Order we keep hearing about definitely exists, but without the underground bunker below a volcano. Western media, by and large, has been hijacked by the left, and they're using it as a propaganda tool. They want to lead us towards a one world government, and they see white people as their only serious obstacle. So they're using any means necessary to subdue that threat, even using what could be described psychological torture, such as dishonestly presenting the alleged superiority of one race at the expense of another.
