Banned By A Leftist For Criticizing Racism

Of course, it was his racism I was criticizing, so John Aravosis (or one of his buddies) kicked me off the site.

It all had to do with this little piece of trash that he posted approvingly.

I posted the following reaction to the racist piece of filth.

Great racist cartoon, John. Has virtually every negative black stereotype promoted by the Democrats for decades. I'm sure that Senator Byrd has already called you to express his enthusiastic approval. Did he make you a Kleagle Skout?

I'm curious -- what would you say if a Republican posted such a cartoon of a black leftist on a website? Let me guess -- you would be declaring it proof positive of the racist roots of the Republican party (which freed the slaves and brought them civil rights by amending the Constitution over Democrat objections).

I then ran out to get my wife some medication that one of the specialists from the hospital called in to Walgreens. Since I didn't find the response there, so figured I must have hit preview instead. I reposted the comment, , hit reload about a minute later to see that it had posted correctly, and found a message that I was banned.

I guess the truth -- about both the DemoKlan Senator from West Virginia (enthusiastically supported by Aravosis) and the white silk-sheet wearing Aravosis himself hit just a little too close to home.

I wear that ban as a source of great pride -- opposition to racism is at the heart of my principles. I guess they aren't for Mr. Aravosis.

1 I agree that banning sucks - that's why I just I prefer to explain how illogical your commnets are when you visit my site. But, please, how is the cartoon racist?

3 Oops - I wish I had used the preview button. Sorry for the double-post.

4 I don't see the racism either. As I read it, the point of the cartoon is to suggest that "thousands of mistakes" Condi recently admitted to are the thousands of American soldiers who have died. I don't see any comment on race or race relations in the entire cartoon.

5 I see the racism in the image of Dr. Rice herself.

I wonder, would any cartoonist depict Cynthia McKinney with such stereotypical features -- and would the Left allow such a cartoon to pass without comment if it were posted on a prominent conservative website?

6 Yes, definitely. I think you're grasping at straws on this.

7 I agree with Dan. What stereotypes are depicted in this cartoon? First, the lips are nowhere near red enough. Second, the skin is nowhere near dark enough. And, third, she is nowhere near fat enough. (Not to mention there is no do-rag on her head) I took a Blacks in Cinema course in college two years ago and this cartoon is hardly a stereotypical image of a black person. Aravosis banning you is scummy, though.
