Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists."
One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap.
:: slow-claps for two seconds ::
So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it?
"You know who talks about race? Racists."
Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist.
Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes?
With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths:
Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?"
A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women."
Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
and
A gay man: "You know, there are times I wish I wasn't gay, so I wouldn't have to worry about fighting for equal rights. I'd already have these rights, you know? But, I am gay, I can't help that, and I have to fight for equal rights, not only for myself and my partner, but all of my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters out there."
Hoenig: "You're such a homophobic queer! Just shut up about it already! Geez!"
Lastly, Jonathan Hoenig and the like-minded can deny racism all they want. They can deny sexism. They can deny homophobia, global warming, hate-crimes, rape, among many other things. However, denial can't refute the fact that all of the before-mentioned things do exist, and just because one may admit the reality does exist doesn't mean he or she is the reason for that reality existing. According to Hoenig, he could make sense by taking the following stance in this next back-and-forth:
A professor: "No matter how sad it is, and no matter how much we want to deny it, racism is very much alive and well in contemporary society. To deny this will only prolong the situation. What we need to do is confront this problem, discuss it, try to make some necessary changes, and hope that at some point in the future, we'll erase, if not significantly decrease the level of racism in this country."
Hoenig: "That's ridiculous! What is all this with race and racism? You know who talks about race? Racists."
You know who talks about nonsense? Jonathan Hoenig.
