Whether or not George Orwell would write about
'"Big Bro' in America" today, pungent La Shawn Barber, in her bright blog,
delivers color and controversy yet again. She focuses on how a Southern girl of
mixed parentage is reviled by black students on campus after she dares to
criticize today's racial double standards and double talk.
Can, or should (nominally white) gringoman stir the
pot further, being possibly even more politically incorrect than the elegant
D.C. lady who is formerly of the black South?
Oh, well, here goes. Kudos to La Shawn
and certainly to the mulatto lass who is set upon for having a mind and daring to speak
it. 'Mulatto' is unacceptable, you say? Why? Because it isn't politically
correct? But why isn't it pc? 'Settled law?' Judicial 'precedent'? If the brave young lady--like Condoleeza Rice---has
a black parent and a white parent, why is she designated "black" instead of
"white"? Explain and cite your authorities or thought-law enforcement. Why can
she not just as well be designated "white" instead of "black"? Cite your
"experts". A certain, uh, non-white "duskiness"? Then what's wrong with
'mulatto'? Please cite your authorities.
ps. Since the title of this post may lead to misunderstanding, not to mention vilification, point of elucidation: Behind every 'Big Bro' is a white liberal.
