America's Conversation On Race Is Apparently Now Over

So declares Brit Hume and George F. Will of FOX, who are tired of black people being black and just want them to be American, because as white men they're sick of hearing about racism.  And by "black people", they mean liberals.

Fox News Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume asserted on Sunday that both Obama and Holder had “benefited politically enormously from the fact that they are African-American, and the first to hold the jobs that they hold.”

To those two men, race has been both a shield and a sword that they have used effectively to defend themselves, and to attack others,” Hume said, adding that he found the behavior “depressing.”

A Fox News viewer on Twitter complained to the panel that the president and attorney general “race bait,” and wanted to know why it was acceptable to call white people “racists.”

“Look, liberalism has a kind of Tourette’s syndrome these days,” Will opined. “Just constantly saying the word ‘racism’ and ‘racist.’”

“Liberalism hasn’t had a new idea since the 1960s — except Obamacare — and the country doesn’t like it,” he continued. “Foreign policy is a shambles, from Russia to Iran to Syria to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And the recovery is unprecedentedly bad.”

“So, what do you do? You say, ‘Anyone who criticizes us is a racist.’”

And thus the conversation about race in America is now over because if you're black, Hume and Will don't want to hear about it.  You need to be American instead and just get over it.  Besides, being black is a huge advantage, because look at all the black US Presidents and US Attorneys General we've had in America's history.

Should you still have a problem with this or the way President Obama or AG Holder have been treated, well, the statute of limitations is up and now "racist" and "racism" are meaningless terms because they don't exist.  How can they with a black president and black AG?

And with that, FOX has resolved the national conversation on race.  The rest of us who might feel the need to continue it (or apparently start it) need to shut the hell up apparently and are simply being dismissed because hey, a couple of white guys are sick of talking about it.

And on we go.
