Approximately five out of four times I hear someone attempt to make a comparison publicly known via the media, they fail miserably, yes, at both comparisons and fractions. Just the latest example comes courtesy of Spartanburg County, South Carolina Sheriff Chuck Wright, who said the following at a Greenville-Spartanburg Republican Women's meeting on April 7th:
"I think the most racist people in America right now sometimes are minorities, small group minorities. I've got a chaplain who works for me. He's an African-American, he is my brother and I love him more than anything. He doesn't buy into that mess. A bunch of his friends don't either. They don't do the NAACP because I feel like that is a racist group as well as the KKK. I don't care about them either."
Yes, the Spartanburg County sheriff compared the NAACP to the KKK. Let's get something straight here, the NAACP stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They're a group which continually fights for minorities' rights in order to gain equality across the board. The KKK, or the Ku Klux Klan, does anything but fight for the equality of minorities. If the KKK wanted to go by a similar name as the NAACP, they'd likely be called the NARCP, or the National Association for the Regression of Colored People. It appears as though Sheriff Wright confused antonyms for synonyms. While he's at it, he might as well utter the following lines:
- "If someone asks me, 'Living or dead?' I respond with, 'What's the difference?' because there is none."
- "You know what I get mixed up all the time? Bowling balls and frisbees. Have you ever thrown a bowling ball like a frisbee? It's a thing of beauty, I tell ya."
- "Have you ever seen the movie Twins? That's what slaves and slaveowners were like - the same, but not identical."
- "Whenever I have the radio on and I hear a particular song, I can never tell if it's Kenny G or Metallica. I swear they ripped off each other like all the time!"
- "I might be in the minority on this one, but during the Holocaust, them Nazis and Jews had a lot in common when you really think about it."
Yeah, following that trend, Spartanburg County, South Carolina Sheriff Chuck Wright is brilliant in every sense of the word...
