Occasionally ABC or some other liberal outlet proclaims their surprise at something that everyone (but liberals) already knows. One famous "revelation" by a liberal news magazine proclaimed that "Men and Women are (psychologically) different." Perhaps the liberal confusion about gender differences is due to the fact that liberal men are frequently so effeminate and liberal women so butch. The latest "revelation" by these ivory tower liberals is that some people are able to recognize Black people by their voices.
During the O.J. Simpson trial, a witness said that he heard a Black man's voice, and the liberals jumped all over that witness claiming that a person can't tell by voice if someone is Black or White. (Do these liberals ever leave their little commie coffee shops full of equally ignorant liberals?)
Because of the large jaw and broad flat nose of the typical Black, there is a certain "racial sound" that results. Similarly Jews with their enormous noses have a distinct nasal tone to their voices, and their frequent use of Yiddish expressions (or their English equivalents) can be noticed as well. Obviously a mulatto will sound less "Black" and the specially-trained mulattos on the evening news can sound very White, but the garden variety Negro has a very distinct natural tone to his or her voice. Blacks also have an "illiterate" way of talking with frequent mispronunciations, poor grammar and a limited vocabulary. Many Blacks deliberately speak mostly in slang creating an illiterate new language called Ebonics.
ABC News has run a story on the "revelation" that some people are recognizing Blacks by their voices. (Ref. 1) Apparently people in California, Missouri and Illinois might be discriminating against Blacks when renting out apartments.
This of course brings up the issue of whether the Federal government can enforce "fairness" on Americans and should they even try. The ABC news article naturally presented only the liberal side of the argument: A Black calls up a landlord with an apartment for rent. The landlord thinks that he recognizes a Black voice and won't return the call or claims that the apartment is already rented. Naturally the liberals and Jews insist that this should be prosecuted as a Federal crime with the landlord being treated like a dangerous criminal.
Liberal Whites insist that all the races are exactly the same and behave the same. A landlord in a big city, however, has to deal with the real world. Why would a landlord turn away a renter and lose money when an apartment is empty unless he has good reason to do so? Liberals of course never think about this. They blame everything on "racism."
Let's say a landlord tried renting out an apartment to Blacks and then the Blacks held loud parties at all hours of the night, brought a large number of cockroaches with them in their plaster-board furniture, threw garbage everywhere, stole anything not nailed down, allowed a dozen extra people to move into the apartment and never paid the rent. Is it "fair" to the landlord to force him to endure a nightmare like this twice?
Many of the "idealistic" White liberal meddlers, who demand that landlords be forced to rent to Blacks, are the first people to flee an apartment complex once it starts to turn Black. Maybe we need a new Federal law forcing liberal hypocrites to stay in an apartment complex that is turning Black since fleeing such a complex is an obvious sign of "racism."
The Federal government should have NOTHING to do with micro-managing businesses. Any store owner, who thinks that Blacks shoplift more than they buy, and any landlord, who thinks that Blacks will ruin his apartment complex, should have the right to exclude these people.
Many clubs and dance halls in the 1950s and early 1960s used to exclude Blacks and allow only Whites. Many of the parents or grandparents of the current White American population, met in such places. This provided a nice, safe environment for a White man and woman to meet. Today, most White men are sickened by the thought of going into some multi-racial club in a big city, where Arabs, Latinos and Blacks relentlessly hit on White women, annoying the decent White women, who quickly stop going to such places.
When the Federal government passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it took away rights from property owners and business owners, causing huge problems for White people. Should the Federal Government micro-manage everything to fight unfairness? It could be argued that children are occasionally treated unfairly by their parents. Should a giant Federal bureaucracy be created to deal with unfairness and should parental unfairness be made a Federal crime? This is exactly what has happened in the case of Blacks and American business. The lunacy has continued to this day and liberal journalists are now focusing on whether White landlords are recognizing Black voices when they call to rent an apartment.
