Cryptomisoxeny Explained by Theory and Examples.
http://ryckki.blogspot.com/2012/10/cryptomisoxeny-explained-by-theory-and.html
There are
several mental afflictions that affect members of our society that are apart
from those caused by exogenous germs or drug addiction. We have a host of
rehabilitation facilities that deal with these afflictions although the general
acceptance of Freudianism has eased a bit since the late 50s. There are other
mental aberrations that are deeply embedded in our society and these maladies
are responsible for many of our social problems.
Cryptomisoxeny
is a mental condition in which a person is compelled to enlist in a valiant
crusade to ferret out and squash such human notions such as bigotry, racism and
hypocrisy. The person with this disease is completely unaware of its presence
and control of his actions and is deluded with the false or reverse notion that
his or her conduct is actually the exact opposite from the unacceptable
targeted conduct in others. Hence, those who rail and rant and search for
bigots frequently use overt bigotry in their sanctimonious quest for the
offenders and employ bigotry in its strictest definition to condemn other
persons or groups. All this proceeds
unconsciously as the bigots, in this case,
believes that they are far above such a social defect and are some form of
cleansing device for our society.
Sanctamonicity [1] is the
ultimate internal psychosomatic reward as it draws rave reviews and wild
applause from peers and others also burdened with this affliction and offers
comfort and camaraderie. The same
argument holds for those who chase and attempt to correct racists using overt
racism and, of course, this is hypocrisy, but a form of hypocrisy that is
buried deeply in the id. [2]
Some examples follow:
Senator Obama said:
“You go into these small towns in
Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been
gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the
Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive
administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and
they have not."
"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't
like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a
way to explain their frustrations."[3]
This comment
was off-the-cuff [and confidential] and given freely in the apparent safety of
liberal friends in California.
Now, this
transcends a mere political analysis and identifies Senator Obama as a typical
cryptomisoxenist. Here he creates a
general characterization of an entire group of potential voters with
predictable group behavior as harboring
a conventional and clinical bitterness
and reflexively directing this frustration toward others of different
groups—i.e. not white or lower middle class—but toward immigrants or persons of
color. This is racism. To this, he adds some
criticisms in the form of gun addiction or other phallic symbol worship. He
ultimately folds in ‘religion’ to a list of symptoms of this group as if this was
a palliative that produced mixed results and in no way could change their
outlook. The lower-middle level whites
are ignorant and tantalized by their guns and religion. These must be the ‘average white persons’ he
talks about. The implication here is that they have been searching for a
quarter century for a solution to their collective ailments and have yet to
discover what that might be.
From Jesse Jackson, Jr. we read from 2003 about the ‘South.’
“Every Democrat has known since the civil
rights movement that the party was becoming less competitive in the South because of race. Republicans have successfully exploited race (in proportion to black voting
strength) since Richard Nixon's "Southern strategy" of 1968, by,
among other things, using racial code words:
Nixon's "law and order," Reagan's "states' rights" and
"welfare queen," and the first George Bush's "Willie Horton."[4]
This comment
parallels the views of Senator Obama and shows that ‘race’ is the problem in
the South and that the opposition there has exploited racial differences in
technical political terms.
From Al Sharpton:
"What’s wrong with denouncing
white interlopers?"[5]
We could inquire: what is wrong with
denouncing black interlopers?
From Senator
Schumer on the confirmation of judge Southwick:
““When it comes to the area of race and
racism, we have to bend over backwards,” said
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“I certainly don’t think he’s [Southwick]
a racist,” Schumer added. “His words have to be seen in context. Like it or not
when he’s nominated to the Fifth Circuit he’s carrying 200 and some odd
years…on his back. That is the issue here.”[6]
So, judge
Southwick is not exactly a racist but he carries two centuries of racism into
his courtroom and that will guide some of his decisions? What do we do with
Schumer’s words in or out of context? Senator Schumer would never consider himself to be a racist, but he employs the trappings of racism to demean a
political opponent.
From Bell Hooks in Killing Rage
Ending Racism:
“I am writing this essay sitting beside an
anonymous white
male that I long to murder.”[7]
male that I long to murder.”[7]
From David Duke:
“European-Americans now have the National Organization for European American Rights, to
actively defend their rights and heritage in the United States.
I don't call myself a white supremacist. I'm a civil rights activist concerned about European-American rights.
I don't call myself a white supremacist. I'm a civil rights activist concerned about European-American rights.
So was Huey
Newton and George Jackson.
“Our clear
goal must be the advancement of the white race
and separation of the white and black races. This goal must include freeing of
the American media and government from subservient Jewish interests.”[8]
So, we can have an NAACP but the equivalent white group is not
allowed. How about the JDL? La Raza?
From Howard Dean:
“You know, the
Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people. They're a
pretty monolithic party. Pretty much, they all behave the same, and they all look
the same. ... It's pretty much a white Christian party.'' --speaking about the lack of outreach to
minority communities by political parties”[9]
"I still want
to be the candidate for guys with Confederate
flags in their pickup trucks."
“Hypocrisy is a value that I
think has been embraced by the Republican Party. We get lectured by people all day long about moral values
by people who have their own moral shortcomings.”
No hypocrisy here.
From Ted Kennedy:
"Robert Bork's
America is a land in which women would be forced into back alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could
break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, school children could not be
taught about evolution, writers and
artists could be
censored at the whim of government,
and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of
citizens of whom the judiciary is — and is often the only —
protector of the
individual rights that are at the heart of our democracy."[11]—Ted
Kennedy.
From President Truman in 1911
"I think one man is just as good as another
so long as he's not a n*gger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made
a White man from dust, a ni**er from mud, then He threw up what was left and it
came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be
in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America."-- Harry
Truman (1911) in a letter to his future wife Bess”[12]
From
Louis Farrakhan a great man in the eyes of Jeremiah Wright:
"Now that nation called Israel, never has had
any peace in forty years and she will never have any peace because there can
never be any peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under his holy and righteous name." -- Louis
Farrakhan who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002, 1984
From Donna Brazile,
fired by Dukakis for spreading lies:
"I will not let the white boys win in this election." -- Donna Brazile, Al
Gore's Campaign Manager on the 2000 election [13]
From Willie Brown
"The old
white boys got taken fair and
square."
-- San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown after winning an election [14]
From USA Today:
"There's no great, white bigot; there's just
about 200 million little white bigots out there." -- USA Today columnist Julienne Malveaux[15]
More from Al
Sharpton:
"White folks was[sic] in caves while we was
building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before
Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- Rev. Al Sharpton[16]
We
can wonder if any of this collection might admit to the press that they are
dedicated racists, hypocrites or bigots. There is no way that any form, however
limited, of hypocrisy, over racism or bigotry will not be used to gain
political power. Those who think that we
are now apart and have risen above racism in the Obama contest suffer from the
facts. Senator Obama and his wife both use racism as their prime political
attribute. We can hear that we will condemn whites for racism for not voting
for a black while our black candidate condemns whites are unsophisticated.
If
none of these people will admit to their racism and bias against other groups
then we can declare them all to be cryptomisoxenists.
This
is the snarl of politics as it now stands.
This is the way our system works and also the way every other political
or social system works. We have racism, tribalism, bigotry, elitism and
religious bias everywhere on this planet and the politicians will exploit as
many of these human attributes as they can to grab power. Facts supported by
observation.
Let
us get back to reality. Racism and
bigotry and hypocrisy are intrinsic parts of our being.
Vote accordingly.
