Those of you who have been watching my facebook page will recognize that I’m not in my own truck today, because the clutch failed on mine over the weekend. Not a big deal, you kind of expect these things after 400,000 miles. I’ll have mine back by the end of this week they tell me. I’m looking forward to that. Meantime onward we go. Welcome to my world.

So, we find one of the most outspoken leaders of the end of the lease CP has been outed as being white. In the wake of the scandal she’s now resigning. [2]
This is particularly entertaining, after observing the woman making rather racist and certainly despicable statements about white people in general.
What’s particularly entertaining to me though is watching the NAACP making excuses over all of this. The excuses are bizarre to say the least, but I think it isindicative of something that I’ve been saying for a couple of decades now. What are generally referred to as racial issues have nothing to do with race at all, but rather are centered on differences in culture.
Now, clearly there is some embarrassment in the upper echelon of the NAACP. Are they embarrassed that they actually had a white person on their staff in a leadership role? If so, so much for the racially neutral society that Dr. King always championed. With this episode, I submit that a lot of the cherished myths of the race baiting left have been disproven as is so much of leftist ideology anymore.
Witness, for example… we were told by the NAACP a short while ago that one cannot be a conservative, and be a real black. Now it turns out that the real fraud here is a white liberal.
Consider this also, it’s clear that the excuse making currently coming from the NAACP is because they sense a threat to their power and position.
Now, why would someone who was white want to self identify as being black? It’s an interesting question and it’s one that I think is very revealing about the state of progressivism today in general and the question of black/ white relations within that context as well.

First of all we learn about the woman’s social life. Apparently she is estranged from both of her parents. Hasn’t talked to them in years. This of itself is not as revealing as how she reacts to that, trying to obliterate her own history her own genetic makeup and her own social standing, would seem to be. I suppose n MIT that once you peel away the outer layers of any progressive today, you will invariably find a mentally disturbed individual. Now, I know that’s not going to be very popular with some, but hear me out on this.
Why would such a person want to self-identify as black, if the popular conception is that blacks are disempowered in our society?
Even most casual observer that that the woman feels empowered by belonging to an organization
Question is, empowered to do what? I submit the answer is that it is to empower her to obtain her goals, which include tearing down the majority culture here in America.
Now, if we acknowledge that sense of empowerment, it would seem to me to call into serious question the notion that blacks in this country are disempowered at all. And that, it seems clear to me at least, is one of the many questions that progressives really didn’t want ask63rd…. Mostly because they didn’t want the answer to those questions.
This situation has resulted in if nothing else the left arguing with itself about the validity of the woman’s claim. Liberal logic has started to turn in on itself long ago, and it’s becoming more obvious what’s happening, by the day. I suppose that if Bruce Jenner could call himself a woman despite all evidence to the contrary… if Bill Clinton could call himself the first black president, in spite of all evidence to the contrary… why wouldn’t this woman call herself black? Why wouldn’t Elizabeth Warren claim she was Native American?

She’ll get away with it as easily as Steve Martin got away with telling us how hard it was having been raised a poor black child.
One gets the feeling that this episode isn’t over yet nor will it be for several months, despite her resignation.
And down the road I go. I’ll see you tomorrow.
