Blackface: The Social Justice Gestapo Strikes Again

Teacher's Firing is Latest Example of Social Justice in Lieu of Changing Hearts and Minds.

America's social justice Gestapo has ensnared another citizen amid increased efforts to rid the world of all racially impure thoughts, looks, jokes, Halloween costumes, advertising materials, historical documents, and lastly, rational thought and common sense.

Yessir! Hooray for social justice! Now let's burn us some conservative, church-going, pillars of the community bigots!

This shameful 'blackface witchhunt' of late is one of the most regressive crusades to combat bigotry I've witnessed in my lifetime, and ironically, it is being propagated by the very leftists who purport to be taking a stand against injustice and hatred.

The latest individual to be targeted by the misguided mobs of the anti-blackface fashion brigade is Richard Gist, a now-former assistant coach at Brown County Schools, who was forced to resign after a decade-old photo surfaced of Gist dressed in blackface for Halloween.

Of course, "blackface" is just how the local media outlets and liberal hysterics have described the controversial photo. In reality, Gist was merely dressed in generic Bob Marley attire, and while the picture reveals he had darkened his skin as a part of the costume, no clear thinking individual would assume that Gist intended to cause harm or promote racist propaganda.

Unfortunately, we now live in an era of "seek and destroy," courtesy of misguided leftists who are out to inflict pain and deliver payback for the sins of our ancestors. Their goal is the complete and total destruction of individuals, their reputations and careers, and it's all being done in the name of 'justice.'

Shameful.

In reality, their twisted and vengeful 'do-goodery' breeds a wicked and devastating resentment that impedes the progress of bi-partisan efforts to combat injustice and racial inequality in America - efforts that are rooted in understanding and forgiveness rather than vindictive hatred.
