Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal - America's Racial Obsession by Erik Rush - Bestselling book author comes to Political Pistachio Radio


Amid stunning testimony by a former Justice Department official alleging the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples behind-the-scenes lobbying on behalf of New Black Panther Party members charged with voter intimidation, the civil rights organization is formerly repudiating racism in the Tea Parties.

The hypocrisy of such conceit is galling, says Erik Rush, the author of a new top-selling book on racial politics titled, Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal Americas Racial Obsession.

There is no racism in the tea party movement, says Rush, and any condemnation or intimation that there is by the NAACP or any other organization is simply part and parcel of their political imperative regarding the social balkanization of America. These assertions (pertaining to the Tea Party) are lies, and those proffering them know it.

At the recent 101st NAACP Convention in Kansas City Michelle Obama appeared in lieu of the president.

The NAACP scheduled a vote by attending delegates, the resolution, reports the Kansas City Star calls all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.

It is also monumentally hypocritical for anyone whether it is the president, the NAACP, or the first lady to speak to race at all at this juncture, given this administration's role in deepening racial tensions in America and its lack of evenhandedness in addressing issues concerning race, adds Rush.

The Philadelphia Inquirers editorial staff recently labeled Rush a persistent hater for calling Obamas and Attorney General Eric Holders racists in light of recent testimony revealing the Justice Department hostility to cases with black defendants and white victims.

Persistent haters like Erik Rush, author of Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal, America's Racial Obsession, are actually accusing Obama of racism, the Inquirer editorial states. As evidence they cite the Justice Department's decision not to pursue a Philadelphia voter-intimidation case involving a group called the New Black Panther Party. (T)he scale of justice must be applied appropriately, and here it appears that it was. Attempts to inflate the incident to bash Obama must be seen for what they are. And the NAACP meeting would be a good setting for Obama to address that.

Rush made the charge after former Justice official J. Christian Adams recent testimony to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

Adams cited the Election Day, 2008, case involving members of the New Black Panther Party who were videotaped guarding the entrance of a Philadelphia polling place clad in black fatigues and wielding a club. The Obama administration at first followed up on the Bush administrations initial prosecution of the case but dismissed it in May 2009 a month after three members of the party failed to appear in court.

Adams alleged the NAACP as lobbying in March 2009 to have the case dismissed.

Rush sparked a national fervor when he exposed the anti-American ravings of President Obamas longtime minister and then spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. With Negrophilia, published by WND Books, charting in the top 5 of Amazon categories on African Americans and Discrimination & Racism, Rush has adopted a Glenn-Beck-style blackboard approach toward revealing the intents and tactics of the "professional race-baiters who seek to manipulate, intimidate and subjugate Americans of every color even and especially from the highest offices in the land.

Race-baiters unseen tool is negrophilia, says Rush, "an undue and inordinate affinity for blacks," combined with the "reflexive demonization of whites as inherently wicked." Its rooted in leftist tactics of division and aimed at advancing policies that keep blacks "obedient," whites "silent" and "political control secure.
