Pin the tail on the honky
By Mike S. Adams

May 8, 2006

Over my last 13 years as a college professor, I’ve heard some pretty wild conspiracy theories attempting to blame various social ills on white people. After hearing a particularly strange one about Hurricane Katrina - from a 20-year old white girl, no less – I decided to publish my Top Ten.

Most of these quotes are paraphrased because they were not recorded soon enough after I heard them for exact duplication. But no subtle nuance in wording can alter the idiocy these paraphrases contain. And, sadly, 100% of them come from college professors and students at our so-called institutions of higher learning. I hope they entertain you as much as they entertained me - although something tells me they will irritate more than a few readers:

10. “911 was a conspiracy planned between the Bush administration and the Jews. They wanted an excuse to attack Arabs and the ignorant public bought into it.” (from a now-deceased college professor).

9. “I don’t want any teacher who supports George W. Bush. If Bush is elected he’s planning – along with the rest of the Republicans - to bring back slavery. I don’t want to work picking cotton in the cotton fields like my ancestors.” (college student).

8. “It is a known fact that the Reagan administration invented crack to destroy the black community.” (college professor).

7. “The Reagan administration hired Jewish doctors to develop the AIDS virus to destroy Africa.” (college professor).

6. “The Mona Lisa was painted by an African artist and stolen from a museum in Ethiopia. Most of the great works of art are African in origin and stolen by white people. This is done to promote the myth of white cultural superiority.” (graduate student).

5. “The voting machines in Florida were built by white supremacists. They may well be able to distinguish between black and white voters. Who knows what they are capable of making those machines do?” (college professor).

4. “Newt Gingrich’s election as Speaker of the House, limiting affirmative action, limiting welfare, the Republican tax cuts, and the balanced budget are all part of the same idea. Everything the Republicans do or discuss is about racism. Everything is a well-orchestrated effort to keep the black man down.” (college professor).

3. “The ABC news doesn’t tell you. The CBS news doesn’t tell you. The NBC news doesn’t tell you. Even CNN doesn’t tell you. Nobody tells the truth that almost all serial killers are white. The news outlets all work together to make folks think that all killers are black.” (college professor and diversity director).

2. “The death penalty is a genocidal mechanism that seeks to control black people through extermination or, more importantly, the threat of extermination.” (college professor).

1. “It is a proven fact that U.S. Coast Guard ships – on orders from President Bush – were seen crashing into the New Orleans levees during Hurricane Katrina. Bush did it to kill black people living in government housing projects.” (college student).

If you haven’t been following the campus cultural wars lately, you might find it hard to believe that some of those quotes were actually uttered. But if you have worked or studied on a campus lately, chances are you’ve heard variations of several of them.

Since these crazy conspiracy theories have become more common in the age of diversity - that is, over the last fifteen years - I propose that we put them to good use. First, we should collect the wackiest conspiracy quotes and post them on the walls of the various diversity office bulletin boards – all with proper attributions, of course. (You can send your favorites to http://www.DrAdams.org).

Next, I propose that we rename all of the “African American” and “Diversity” programs on college campuses in honor of their help in promoting racial paranoia on the university (and American) landscape. From now on, we could call them “Woefully Hypocritical Initiatives for Never-Ending Racial Scapegoating.”

Or - if our universities ever decide that budgeting scarce resources is important – we could save time and ink by calling them WHINERS. One could hardly conspire to find a better name.

A Military Wife
>>
>>(The following story was written by Lori Kimble, a 31 year old
>>teacher and
>>proud military wife. Mrs. Kimble, a California native, currently
>>lives in
>>Alabama.)
>>
>>I was sitting alone in one of those loud, casual steak houses that
>>you find
>>all over the country. You know the type--a bucket of peanuts on
>>every
>>table, shells littering the floor, and a bunch of perky college
>>kids racing
>>around with longneck beers and sizzling platters.
>>
>>Taking a sip of my iced tea, I studied the crowd over the rim of my
>>glass.
>>My gaze lingered on a group enjoying their meal. They wore no
>>uniform to
>>identify their branch of service, but they were
>>definitely"military:" clean
>>shaven, cropped haircut, and that "squared away" look that comes
>>with
>>pride.
>>
>>Smiling sadly, I glanced across my table to the empty seat where my
>> husband
>>usually sat. It had only been a few months since we sat in this
>>very
>>booth, talking about his upcoming deployment to the Middle East.
>>That was
>>when he made me promise to get a sitter for the kids, come back to
>>this
>>restaurant once a month and treat myself to a nice steak. In turn
>>he would
>>treasure the thought of me being here, thinking about him until he
>>returned
>>home
>>
>>I fingered the little flag pin I constantly wear and wondered where
>>he was
>>at this very moment. Was he safe and warm? Was his cold any
>>better? Were
>>my letters getting through to him? As I pondered these thoughts,
>>high
>>pitched female voices from the next booth broke into my thoughts.
>>
>> "I don't know what Bush is thinking about. Invading Iraq. You'd
>>think that
>>man would learn from his old man's mistakes. Good lord. What an
>>idiot! I
>>can't believe he is even in office. You do know, he stole the
>>election."
>>
>> I cut into my steak and tried to ignore them, as they began an
>>endless
>>tirade running down our president. I thought about the last night I
>> spent
>>with my husband, as he prepared to deploy. He had just returned
>>from
>>getting his smallpox and anthrax shots. The image of him standing
>>in our
>>kitchen packing his gas mask still gives me chills.
>>
>> Once again the women's voices invaded my thoughts. "It is all
>>about oil,
>>you know. Our soldiers will go in and rape and steal all the oil
>>they can
>>in the name of 'freedom'. Hmph! I wonder how many innocent people
>>they'll
>>kill without giving it a thought? It's pure greed, you know."
>>
>> My chest tightened as I stared at my wedding ring. I could still
>>see how
>>handsome my husband looked in his "mess dress" the day he slipped
>>it on my
>>finger. I wondered what he was wearing now. Probably his desert
>>uniform,
>>affectionately dubbed "coffee stains" with a heavy bulletproof
>>vest over
>>it.
>>
>> "You know, we should just leave Iraq alone. I don't think they
>>are hiding
>>any weapons. In fact, I bet it's all a big act just to increase
>>the
>>president's popularity. That's all it is, padding the military
>>budget at
>>the expense of our social security and education. And, you know
>>what else?
>>We're just asking for another 9-ll. I can't say when it happens
>>again that
>>we didn't deserve it."
>>
>> Their words brought to mind the war protesters I had watched
>>gathering
>>outside our base. Did no one appreciate the sacrifice of brave men
>>and
>>women, who leave their homes and family to ensure our freedom? Do
>>they even
>>know what "freedom" is?
>>
>>I glanced at the table where the young men were sitting, and saw
>>their
>>courageous faces change. They had stopped eating and looked at each
>> other
>>dejectedly, listening to the women talking. "Well, I, for one,
>>think it's
>>just deplorable to invade Iraq, and I am certainly sick of our tax
>>dollars
>>going to train professional baby-killers we call a military."
>>
>> Professional baby-killers? I thought about what a wonderful
>>father my
>>husband is, and of how long it would be before he would see our
>>children
>>again.
>>
>> That's it! Indignation rose up inside me. Normally reserved,
>>pride in my
>>husband gave me a brassy boldness I never realized I had. Tonight
>>one voice
>>will answer on behalf of our military, and let her pride in our
>>troops be
>>known.
>>
>>Sliding out of my booth, I walked around to the adjoining booth and
>> placed
>>my hands flat on their table. Lowering myself to eye level with
>>them,
>>smilingly said, "I couldn't help overhearing your conversation.
>>
>>You see, I'm sitting here trying to enjoy my dinner alone. And, do
>>you know
>>why? Because my husband, whom I love with all my heart, is halfway
>> around
>>the world defending your right to say rotten things about him."
>>
>> "Yes, you have the right to your opinion, and what you think is
>>none of
>>my business. However, what you say in public is something else,
>>and I will
>>not sit by and listen to you ridicule MY country, MY president, MY
>>husband,
>>and all the other fine American men and women who put their lives
>>on the
>>line, just so you can have the "freedom" to complain. Freedom is
>>an
>>expensive commodity, ladies. Don't let your actions cheapen it."
>>
>>I must have been louder that I meant to be, because the manager
>>came over
>>to inquire if everything was all right. "Yes, thank you," I
>>replied. Then,
>>turning back to the women, I said, "Enjoy the rest of your meal."
>>
>> As I returned to my booth applause broke out. I was embarrassed
>>for making
>>a scene, and went back to my half eaten steak. The women picked up
>> their
>>check and scurried away.
>>
>> After finishing my meal, and while waiting for my check, the
>>manager
>>returned with a huge apple cobbler ala mode. "Compliments of those
>>soldiers," he said. He also smiled and said the ladies tried to pay
>> for my
>>dinner, but that another couple had beaten them to it. When I
>>asked who,
>>the manager said they had already left, but that the gentleman was
>>a
>>veteran, and wanted to take care of the wife of "one of our boys."
>>
>> With a lump in my throat, I gratefully turned to the soldiers and
>>thanked
>>them for the cobbler. Grinning from ear to ear, they came over and
>>surrounded the booth. "We just wanted to thank you, ma'am. You
>>know we
>>can't get into confrontations with civilians, so we appreciate what
>>you
>>did."
>>
>> As I drove home, for the first time since my husband's
>>deployment, I
>>didn't feel quite so alone. My heart was filled with the warmth of
>>the
>>other diners who stopped by my table, to relate how they, too, were
>> proud
>>of my husband, and would keep him in their prayers. I knew their
>>flags
>>would fly a little higher the next day. Perhaps they would look for
>>more
>>tangible ways to show their pride in our country, and the military
>>who
>>protect her. And maybe, just maybe, the two women who were railing
>>against
>>our country, would pause for a minute to appreciate all the
>>freedom America
>>offers, and the price it pays to maintain it's freedom.
>>
>> As for me, I have learned that one voice CAN make a difference.
>>Maybe the
>>next time protesters gather outside the gates of the base where I
>>live, I
>>will proudly stand on the opposite side with a sign of my own. It
>>will
>>simply say, "Thank You!"
>>
>> To those who fought for our Nation: Freedom has a flavor the
>>protected
>>will never know. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
>>
>> Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdom for
>>their
>>commanders. Pass this on to as many as you think will respond.
>>"Lord, hold
>>our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.
>>Bless
>>them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us
>>in our
>>time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and
>>Savior."
>>
>>When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer
>>for our
>>ground, air and navy personnel in every area of the middle east.
>>There is
>>nothing attached.... This can be very powerful.... Just send this
>>to all
>>the people in your address book.
>>
>>Do not stop this prayer chain, please.... Of all the gifts you
>>could give
>>to anyone in the US Military, be it Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines
>>or
>>National Guard, Prayer is the very best one.....Amen!

Thank you, Faster Horses. That was a great story. I am proud of that woman, and also of the military men that were present. They displayed remarkable cool under fire, to not go thump on those old grouchy ungrateful babes.

Cal,

one fact I wish everyone knew ws that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do more damage to te black people than the KKK ever thought of doing.

I am so tired of theblacks thinking the hurricane was an extermination plot. and the mayor of New Orleans is as big a racist there ever was. the guy is an ass

me, I feel that there are racial divides....that is natural, we tend to stick with our own kind. just like jocks, nerds, aggies, dopeheads, and geeks split up in high school....it is a comfort zone and nothing else.

blacks create racism, by having the NAACP awards show, United Negro College Fund, Black History month, and so on......want one society??? then drop your seperate color based awards and shows....that is anti white ! you can not have it both ways!


my last point is you are black, call your selves black. the african - american thing really gripes me. ANY hypanated american name pisses me off. if you are so proud you need to hypenate your name, then go back there, because you are the root of the problem here.

and why can one black call another black a nigger, but if I do I am an ass?? it is demeaning no matter who says it. but wht do I know? I am just a dumb cracker!

Cal, FH, great posts, I'm having a hard time seeing at the present moment. I now go out of my way to tell anyone in uniform that I thank them for what they are doing for ME AND MY FAMILY. Usually they are ashamed to be in uniform in public cause some dumb ass like dis will show up and give them crap. One of the most rewarding experiences in my life was walking through the airport in Salt Lake with our Marine, in his dress uniform so that is how his mom would first great him, and people saluting him and telling him thank you for what you do. I will never forget that as long as I live and I will never forget the kids that go where he has gone, and I will never ever put them down as some on here choose to do. You call yourselves Americans, you spend some time with those men, look them in the eye and tell them what they are doing is wrong, I dare you.

My little brother was in St. Louis when he drove up on 3 democrats (I am sure they would have claimed to be independents) protesting. They were flying the flag upside down. He stopped and told them that was a distress symbol and they were going to turn it right side up. They promptly said they were unaware it was upside down and turned it over. :D They don't even have enough courage to protest with conviction.
