Is Warren Kinsella A Rascist?

Wednesday, 09 January 2008

One would assume that for the amount of time Warren Kinsella spends inferring that others are racist, (click click), that he, himself, is colour-blind. Maybe not so much.... We captured this audio from an interview he did on the Adler show today: (listen right around the 2 minute mark In cased you missed it:

It's time... You know... It is time. His race matters... uh... to people like me. It's time to see somebody who is black as President of the United States... Let's look at some definitions: racism

racÂ·ism (rÄ�'sÄz'É™m) Pronunciation Key n.

The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Ok, so, in order to be racist based on that definition, one needs to "discriminate based on race". Did Warren just publicly "discriminate based on race"? Let's go back to dictionary.com to find out: discrimination

disÂ·crimÂ·iÂ·naÂ·tion [di-skrim-uh-ney-shuhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation â€“noun 1. an act or instance of discriminating. 2. treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit: racial and religious intolerance and discrimination. 3. the power of making fine distinctions; discriminating judgment: She chose the colors with great discrimination. 4. Archaic. something that serves to differentiate.

Ok, so where were we? Oh that's right... discrimination... It appears that when Warren stated that "race matters" to "people like him" and that it was time for a "black" President, that he was giving favor to an individual based on his "group". Because his apparent discrimination seems to be based on race, is it not also safe to conclude that his comments fall under of the definition of racism (as cited above) as well? One who practices racism could theoretically be called a racist no? You be the judge... Oh, and Warren... Having read this, you're probably the wrong person to be discussing "hypocrisy and free speech"... Update: Listened to the clip again and Warren stated the following (in reference to Hillary):

I said look, I'm not opposing her because she's a woman, nor am I supporting her because she's a woman.

Right, Ok then... So Warren won't let gender affect who he supports but when it comes to race, well, that's open season... Not very progressive of him if you ask me... Another update: Kinsella admits that skin colour is a factor in who he supports:

Down here near Detroit, I am told that Canada's blogging Witches of the East and West - the Small Brain-dead Animal and Five Feet of Frig-All - are upset that I went on Charles Adler's show and said that I support Barack Obama, in part, because he's black. It's true. I can think of no better way to repudiate America's sad history than to elect a strong, smart black leader. It's the same reason I liked General Powell as a prospective candidate. So, yes, I support Obama, in part, because he's black. Guilty as charged. Meanwhile, the Witches of the East and West hate him because he's black. Which is pretty much what you'd expect from a couple of bigots.

(emphasis mine) Think about this for a second... If Kinsella is discriminating in favor of a candidate because he's black, is it not logical to conclude that he's discriminating against the other candidates because they're white? How is it that Warren can, in one sentence, state that skin colour affects who he supports and then call other people bigots in the next paragraph? Does that make any sense at all? PS Thank you to Kate and Kathy for the traffic.
