"Instead of this so-called civil rights bill, for example, that says you have to give preferences to minorities, I think the American people are going — once they see the 'Obamanation' — they're going to demand a tweaking of that and say, 'You have to put the majority into office,'" Barrett said.
What I want to know, is where Barrett got his law degree, and in what state he passed the bar, because his understanding of the Civil Rights Act is breathtaking. That's right, Civil Rights Act, it's not a bill anymore, it was passed in 1964. Here's a little something to help you out with the difference:

THE MILDRED GADDIS INTERVIEW
ReplyDeleteWCHB Radio
Mildred Gaddis: Our guest is Richard Barrett. He is leader of The
Nationalist Movement. He told the Associated Press recently that he
is convinced that Barack Obama will win in November and, he said, it
will set off a white backlash. He said that, instead of the so-called
Civil-Rights Bill, for example, which says that you have to give
preferences to minorities, the American people, once they see the
"Obamanation," are going to demand a tweaking of that and say that
you have to put the majority into office. From Pearl, Mississippi
this morning, Attorney Richard Barrett. Good morning, Counselor.
Richard Barrett: Good morning, Mildred. Thank you for having me here
in the Motor City.
Gaddis: Tell us what The Nationalist Movement is.
Barrett: People may, also, go to "Nationalist.org" on the Internet
and see all about it. But, we are a pro-majority organization.
Frankly, Richard Barrett aspires to do for the majority what Martin
Luther King did for the minorities. And that is to empower people.
Yet, the only difference is that, instead of tyranny of minorities,
we want democracy and freedom, under majority-rule.
Gaddis: You want democracy and freedom, under majority-rule.
Barrett: There are two practical and moral reasons for that. You
remember that Thomas Paine said that a continent can't be ruled by an
island, meaning Britain, and that's why we had the American
Revolution. Well, I am saying today that the whole nation cannot be
ruled by Detroit or Harlem or Watts. And, that's the moral-issue.
But, the practical issue is, how do you do it? And, I say, instead of
having a civil-rights bill, which gives preferences and draws
districts for minorities, let's have it for the majority. Then, you
will have a sense, as it was with the Tories. They were for the King,
just as some, now, are for Martin Luther King, but, after the
Revolution, some left the country, some settled in, but we had a
united nation and that's what it's all about. The indivisibility of
the American nation.
Gaddis: I want for you to help me understand something here.
Barrett: Sure.
Gaddis: White men run America. White men control the wealth in
America. White people in America have been, historically, afforded
access to opportunity at a greater rate, than any people of color.
How in the world do you conclude that white people are being
disenfranchised?
Barrett: Now, the Associated Press did not use the word I use. I used
the word "American." So, to talk about color, I really prefer to say,
"Red, White and Blue," and the reason I do that is, because, you
spoke about some valid things. For instance, the Bush Administration
is the incarnation of "Greed is Good" and it's going to be
"impeached." Not because Barack Obama has done something, himself,
but because the people want that criminality and corruption out. And,
it's going out. But, by the same token, when the Black Caucus is
enthroned, people are going to say, "Wait a minute. We've said no to
the 'Greed-is-Good' minority, so now we cannot substitute the
'Black-is-Beautiful' minority."
So how do we change this? Change begets change. Well, if can pass
laws -- and I say do it peacefully -- we had the Glorious Revolution
in England with no bloodshed and the ousting of communism in the
Soviet Union was a bloodless revolution -- let's simply change the
laws, so that you can vote, then, across state-lines, by referendum.
That's the way they voted communism out, in Russia, by everyone
voting.
We voted down the so-called Equal Rights Amendment. Let's do the same
thing with the Civil Rights Bill. Then, anyone who is unhappy, you
can have Martin Luther King, in your home, on your wall, just not
over the Capitol. You may speak Ebonics, if you want, but don't
change the English language. That's the challenge. Remember, Lincoln
said to John C. Calhoun, "You can't have 'grey-power' in Charleston,
South Carolina." And, he was right. If he were alive today, he'd say
that you can't have "black-power" in Detroit, "brown-power" in San
Antonio or "pink-power" in San Francisco. Only red-white-and-blue
power.
Gaddis: Stuart in Birmingham. You are on with Attorney Richard
Barrett
Stuart: Good morning, Stuart.
Stuart: I wanted to add about the statement by Thomas Paine, which I
have thought about for many years. The majority on one issue may be
the minority on another issue.
Barrett: Well, Thomas Jefferson said in his Inaugural, although, that
the minority must acquiesce to the majority, lest there be despotism.
Gaddis: Attorney Barrett, I need for you to afford the caller to have
his say.
Barrett: Sure, go ahead.
Gaddis: Hear him out.
Barrett: Go ahead. Absolutely.
Stuart: You can't be in the minority on every single political issue
and that is the meaning of "minority."
Barrett: The difference is, Stuart, that Henry Ford had a new idea of
transportation. At the time, he was the only one who could see it.
I'm glad he did. He allowed the common-man to move from one place to
another. Now, I have that vision, but it for a new form of democracy,
where the common-man can rule, in his own country. What does that
mean? It means one language, one nation, one morality, one
work-ethic. So, instead of breaking up this great and wonderful
country, as we've been doing for the last generation, with minority
so-called rights, we now have to have majority-rule. I see it coming.
It's like that old Baptist hymn, that we sing down in the South.
"We're gaining every day." And, that's what we're doing.
Stuart: I have difficulty with that, Mr. Barrett. I have a
psychiatric-disability and I wonder if you do, as well? Now, I'll get
off the radio.
Barrett: Well, the answer is that, in Spain, it took them
seven-hundred years to oust the Moors. But they did it. We ousted the
Tories, here, in eleven years. So, I want to see that Detroit is
remembered, not for Kwame Kilpatrick, but for Henry Ford. I'm
starting on that long journey, today, and I call on people of good
will, everywhere in this nation, to join me.
Gaddis: I am curious about how you would propose that America treat
people who it has discriminated against, denied equal-rights to,
disallowed them to participate in all the privileges of this country.
Barrett: Of course. That is what we call private-property and
freedom-of-choice.
Gaddis: Mr. Barrett, you have got to be polite.
Barrett: Sure, go ahead.
Gaddis: Again, you are talking about pillorying the Civil Rights
Bill. The Civil Rights Bill came into effect because, in America,
people of color were being discriminated against, were being denied
access to equal-opportunity, to housing, and the Civil Rights Bill
was America's way of saying, to acknowledge....
Barrett: But, it hasn't worked.
Gaddis: Let me finish, Mr. Barrett.
Barrett: We tried riots and they didn't work. Riots do not work. They
were engendered under that thinking. It's the Marxist line.
Gaddis: Mr. Barrett. Thank you for your time. Thank you very much.

So, now we're equating the Civil Rights Act (again, Act not Bill!) with rioting? Not to mention the silliness of trying to view white people as one monolithic entity with interests that completely align. That's the fallacy of the "majority" argument, for it to have any meaning whatsoever all white people would have to subscribe to the same views and those views would have to be incompatible with those held by African-Americans (who in this oversimplified world-view would probably also all hold the same views). Reality doesn't work that way.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll stand by my original assessment.
