Janeane Garofalo And The Hollywood White Power Movement

This article is rich in it's North American understanding and sensibility about race relations in a "closed" marketplace. Hollywood is not much different than Washington DC in how the Progressive/Liberal and political left view and treat the world around them.

In Washington ... we are NOT all Americans here in the USA ... if we do not ascribe to their (current Democrat Party Leadership's) point-of-view ... we all should be vilified and put in our place.

The Hollywood White Power Movement is not to dissimilar to the Washington DC Democrat Party Power Movement ... but in the case of Washington DC insiders, the Democrats expect everyone else to behave like ... John McCain!

Janeane Garofalo should be the last person to be denigrating anyone. She tries to come off as this pseudo-intellectual, probably one who mocked President Bush’s mangled pronunciation of the word “nuclear”, while still mispronouncing “Rush Limbow” herself.

Her latest mission is to defend someone she clearly deems an inferior (despite the obvious power of his office), Barack Obama.

It’s obvious to anybody who has eyes in this country that tea-baggers, the 9-12ers, these separatist groups that pretend that it’s about policy – they are clearly white-identity movements. They’re clearly white power movements. What they don’t like about the President is that he’s black – or half black (applause) – and they, what also is shocking is that people keep pretending that that’s not really the case with these people.

What’s clearly not obvious to anybody who has eyes in this country is that Garofalo lives (when it comes to racists) in a very big glass house.

When black O.J. Simpson was accused of killing his wife, white Hollywood shunned him. When white Roman Polanski was found guilty of drugging, raping, and sodomizing a little girl, white Hollywood circled the wagons.

Notice how two of the more recent widely successful shows were all white, Janeane? None of the “Friends” were black, and Seinfeld’s lead ensemble were as well. Black people get “Cribs” and can pimp rides. “Laguna Beach” rich kids are worth watching, a reality show in The Hood may be too much information, and who would even think of green-lighting anything involving a no-talent, black-Paris Hilton-type. (There are black “princesses” in Hollywood.)

During the presidential campaign, Hollywood did everything possible to show solidarity behind Barack Obama. During his college years, I doubt few in the industry would allow their daughter to date someone with his tint and odd-sounding name, but as he could potentially have more power than them, industry elites had to temporarily shelve they’re superiority complexes and closet intolerance to support the black guy. Their publicists also liked and could work with that.

For years now I contend that white liberals consider black people their pets, and Janeane Garofalo is no different. But using race as the basis for her argument, especially being a “comedian” who based on her body of work would stay unemployed if she were black, is clearly being done for her own sense of relevance.

Oh, and besides looking at black people as pets, liberals love to use them as well, as reflected with the many actresses who just have to adopt a minority baby as an I’m-better-than-you accessory.

Would white Hollywood EVER show constant depictions of their children as gangsta’ thugs and their women as hos? We always hear different liberal groups get all bent over Playmates or Hooter girls, but when was the last time an industry bigwig ever condemned the slutting of black women in entertainment? I’ve mentioned before the Hollywood exec preference for light-skinned black women, as they’re the ones who get most of the gigs. But has Janeane Garofalo ever asked why black people are presented to the world in such a demeaning way?

Like most liberals, she is gutless and seldom (I can’t think of a recent exception) goes on a venue with equal sides of a debate and participate. She prefers shows like Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann where she can spew unchallenged.

Janeane Garofalo, in that quest for relevance, is exploiting Barack Obama, and as she’s using race as her basis, is a racist herself. Once she addresses the racist cesspool she freely associates with, she has no business calling any law-abiding, citizen who wishes to protest the direction a president is taking the country, something she clearly is herself.

i deeply resent being thought of or considered, a racist because i disagree with barack obama's  socialist reform,  the steep unemployment (thanks to his economic policies)  his long term relationship with terrorist william ayers,the  communists he has appointed to office; van jones and those he associated with as a 'community organizer' in chicago,   his twenty year membership in the church of hate-monger jeremiah wright,  apologizing to the europeans when americans spilled so much blood in their defense and are still willing to since we have so many miliary bases overseas ready to defend them..and i could go on in historical detail. unfortunately, some segmments of society will hold on to that argument because thats all they have left as an argument and its getting tired.

i once saw a movie with Garafalo in it.......must have been forgettable, as i don't remember the name of the movie, the plot, where i saw it, or even who i saw it with.

her social commentary impresses me almost as much as her acting.

What "social" commentary? ... there is very little social or sociable about it, it is just spew.
