In an op-ed published by Politico, Jindal lashed out at minorities to mark the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech. Instead of standing up against the many acts of racism that have been perpetrated by his own party and by conservatives around the nation, Jindal declared that minorities are responsible for the racism in this country.

“We still place far too much emphasis on our ‘separateness,’ our heritage, ethnic background, skin color, etc. We live in the age of hyphenated Americans: Asian-Americans, Italian-Americans, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Indian-Americans, and Native Americans, to name just a few. Here’s an idea: How about just ‘Americans?’ That has a nice ring to it, if you ask me. Placing undue emphasis on our ‘separateness’ is a step backward. Bring back the melting pot. There is nothing wrong with people being proud of their different heritages. We have a long tradition of folks from all different backgrounds incorporating their traditions into the American experience, but we must resist the politically correct trend of changing the melting pot into a salad bowl. E pluribus Unum.”

To translate, it appears Jindal is actually blaming minorities for causing white people to be racist towards them, and is calling on minorities to end racism by conforming to American life as white people see it. In short, minorities should be more like white people if they want racism to stop.

So rather than call out the blatant racism of his own party, Jindal essentially decided that he’d be better off committing political suicide by pandering to the racists within the GOP to curry favor with them as we move toward 2016. This is yet another example of a Republican blaming victims for their own oppression. In reality, racists will not stop being racists if minorities decide to do as Jindal suggests. That’s because racists hate minorities simply because of the color of their skin, and that includes Jindal, which is why he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of ever capturing his party’s nomination for president.

They want us to conform to the way they believe that people should behave and view to be civilized. It's the type of attitude that sites like worldstarhiphop promote and the type of view you'll see a lot of whites have when they say "I don't hate black people, I just hate black culture" or when you see the average c00n say that they don't like hanging out with black people. It's bullshyt. They would just find something else to hate though.

So I was probably the only one who clicked the link to the article, read it.

First of all that title is editorialized, why are you trying to sensationalize titles for hits? He never said "black people" and whenever he even mentioned "black people" is as African-Americans in the context of referring to all minorities in general. Asian-Americans, Italian-Americans, Indian-Americans.

:aicmon:

you know damn well whenever these cacs and cac-apologists (jindal, in this instance) use the term "minorities," they specifically mean black people.

I read the article and althogh the title was click bait, his response was still bull shyt. Saying were too divided implies those in control actually want unity among the races.

Whites have no desire to be unity with blacks. History has proved this time and time again.
