     The obsession over race is a hallmark of the Progressive left. \u00a0 Yet, they are willing, nay, enthusiastic about, condemning non-white individuals who dare to believe what the self-declared intelligentsia declare that they ought not to think.\u00a0 Of course, they are also willing to declare a pasty white guy to be the “first Black President” back in the ’90’s.<\/p>\n

     How does one square away the left’s obsession over race with the left’s enthusiasm for attacking “oppressed minorities”?\u00a0 To put it simply, “race” is not about race to them; rather, it is a moral<\/em> concept of purity.<\/p>\n

     “Whiteness” is not about actual racial attributes, but is seen as a moral evil.\u00a0 Thus, white people can be shrived of their sin of “whiteness<\/a>” by fighting against the “kyriarchy<\/a>.”\u00a0 Similarly, a non-white person can fall from grace by accepting some attribute of “whiteness,” thus losing their status as a morally superior being.<\/p>\n

     Nowhere is this better seen than by the coverage of the Martin\/Zimmerman trial.\u00a0 Zimmerman is Hispanic and also part black (he is blacker than Homer Plessy was).\u00a0 The partisan media pounced<\/a> on the narrative of a pasty “person of pallor” gunning down a Black child.\u00a0 When it was revealed that Zimmerman was actually Hispanic, they created a “white Hispanic” classification in order to distinguish it from the more morally pure “Hispanic.”\u00a0 That Zimmerman was also part black was generally ignored by the media.<\/p>\n

     This lunacy has gotten to the point where leftist hacks have declared that Zimmerman isn’t even Hispanic because he is Peruvian… and that Peruvians<\/a> are somehow not “Hispanic”!<\/p>\n
