Before this huge backlash of White American Guilt I had not idea who either of these two people were.
Of course most of the stay at home moms and dads who watch the Food Network for entertainment and learning how to cook knew who Deen was but no one knew EDWARD SNOWDEN.
The difference is Edward Snowden is a whistleblower who worked as a contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA) and Paula Deen is a celebrity chef BUT their similarities lie in the fact that they are both being discriminated against because in each of their situations their FREEDOM OF SPEECH has been altered. Our first amendment right to free speech is now the subject of POLITICALLY CORRECT BULLSHIT.
Yes, people, we have come down in the world as the number 1 super power and not only that, we have degenerated into a nation of timid politically correct idiots who allow freedoms for one race to overcome the freedoms of all races. America is a melting pot but now America has gone rather dark and by that I mean our minorities are becoming our majorities. This happens all the time and it’s nothing to be scared about but White People tend to overcompensate and the Angry White Men of our society are the most ridiculous. I’ve seen white men who are blue color workers (post office workers) who are delighted that Paula Deen’s empire has crumbled all because she used a racial slur 30 years ago. She did not use it on the TV, she did not use it on her show, she didn’t use it in a commercial and frankly what is the big deal about using a racial slur if you are a celebrity?
Alec Baldwin has discriminated against women and gays yet he’s apologized and he gets to keep his job and money. Jay-Z and Kayne West, two of the biggest users of the N word are still a powerhouse team in rap, they still have their money, their fans and their followings; nothing has happened to them. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are rich from their race baiting days which were shrouded by “civil rights movement”; let’s face it these two are racists but now that they are rich they care not about any black person who is in trouble with the Law of our society.
In the 20th Century, our society went from extreme racial prejudice against Black people in the south to extreme anti-racial prejudice today. Two extremes do not make this any better than it was when the black society was undergoing their equality problems. Today our own country lead by our Senate and House took THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT and threw it under the rug making it harder for minorities to vote in the United States. Planned Parenthood was designed to curtail black and minorities pregnancies and now women are flocking to it in droves and trying to repeal GOP advances to shut its doors. The Angry White Male still exists in America and they are not so foreign anymore; they are your next door neighbors, they are your fathers, brothers, uncles, boyfriends, grandfathers, siblings and husbands and they are still as frightening as they were with sheets on their heads. They are in every walk of life, in every city and they are menacing, bullying and running scared but still our American Media rises up the people they want to talk about and dashes the hopes and dreams of others ON A WHIM.
One could say that EDWARD SNOWDEN is a victim of racism because President Obama is hell bent on capturing this whistleblower and sticking him in the same jail Bradley Manning is residing. Obama is our first black president and one could say he’s racist against these two white men for telling the truth? Granted these two whistleblowers may have exposed the NSA spying on Americans to light and maybe it is detrimental to our safety but if our government is so worried about terrorists – stop them BEFORE THEY COME INTO AMERICA. Stop illegal immigration and that would help. Listen, people, President Nixon got impeached for being discovered to be spying at Watergate – it’s the same damn thing so then why is President Obama still in office and why is Edward Snowden, Julian Assuage and Bradley Manning being labeled traitors?
The internet has become the court of public opinion where ever a-hole has one and no one really agrees 100%. On social media where no one is social and everyone hates everyone else because it’s always the battle between the haves and have nots; there is even worst comment fighting as the pea brains take to the internet in droves sounding more like two year olds than 50 year old people. During the PAULA DEEN DEBACKLE more people of all races were saying she should not be held accountable because she used the N word 30 years ago and by law you cannot be held responsible for that today. But they all missed the point – it’s not about the N Word – it is about FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
The similarities between Snowden & Deen are simply the fact that each of them and all of the others are not being allowed to voice their first amendment right to free speech. Our constitution is in the dust now and frankly it does not matter what political party you vote for or even for the person you vote for that matter. Our freedoms are eroding in this 21st century and there is nowhere to run.
