The American New Left Progressives are racists. Like their German cousins from 70 years ago, they believe that certain races are inferior. What differentiates them from the Nazis is that they believe the inferior must be taken care of and treated like Serfs, where as the German Progressives believed in the extermination of the inferior. In a blatant case of this Progressive racism, radical totalitarian fascist, Donny Deutsch, has called Florida Senate candidate, Marco Rubio, a coconut, implying he is tan on the outside and white on the inside.
CNBC and MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch used racially charged language on Monday night, smearing Republican senatorial candidate Marco Rubio as a “coconut.” Deutsch appeared on HLN’s Joy Behar Show and used the word, which Urban Dictionarydefines as a “person who is tan on the outside” and “white on the inside.” Rubio is the son of Cuban exiles.
Deutsch employed the derogatory term while hitting politicians with no experience. He noted the success of such candidates and derided, “…You almost need that blank piece of paper. That’s the new model. Like, you know, this coconut Rubio down in Florida.”
Read the rest: MSNBC Regular Donny Deutsch Slams Marco Rubio With Racially Charged Attack: He’s a ‘Coconut’
Donny is angry that Marco Rubio is a Hispanic who is proud and knows his heritage. This confidence is the reason he’s not into racial politics, he’s secure in his identity. Leftists want certain ethnic groups to stay as their Serfs that can abuse and manipulate. Rubio is a threat as the policies he supports would break the chains of Progressive serfdom. Make no mistake, Hispanics like Marco and I are a threat to the Left. We know what they’re about and just like our ancestors resisted their Islamic allies for 700 years, we are resisting Progressive lies.
Donny Deutsch is a coward who would not dare call a Rightwing Hispanic from Florida a coconut to our faces.
(Hat Tip: M)
Here is the video:
Update: The So called Hispanic Civil Rights groups like La Raza and LULAC haven’t made a statement on this racist statement. This shows you they don’t care about Hispanics, they are Slaves of their racist Progressive overlords. Marco Rubio is a real Hispanic, not cowards like these groups.

Donny Deutsch was the guy who got all bent out of shape when he interviewed Ann Coulter a while back because Coulter said that as a Christian she looked upon Christians as “completed Jews.” He got all huffy and puffy and said that “as a Jew,” he was insulted by this.
We’ll leave aside the likelihood that Deutsch is, in practice, probably about as Jewish as ham on rye. The thing is that there is nothing particularly surprising or controversial about what Coulter said. It may have been blunt and impolitic—trust Coulter for that—but it is in no way any surprise to anyone who understands the difference between Christian and Jewish beliefs. Most of the observant Jews that I know were completely unfazed by Coulter’s utterances; their basic response was, “Yeah, so what else is new?”

Mass Layoffs Surge In January, Highest Since July 2009
The BLS has reported Mass Layoff Statistics for January 2010 – the result is plain ugly, and kills any hope for sustained improvement in unemployment data. Not seasonally adjusted Mass Layoff Events (defined as at least 50 persons being laid off from a single employer) surged in January to 2,860, from 2,310 in January, from a 12 month low of 1,371 in September 2009. This is the biggest monthly surge since July when the Mass Layoff Events hit a 12 month high of 3,054. In terms of actual workers, January saw 278,679 initially laid off people. The deterioration was mirrored in the much less credible seasonally adjusted data. Obviously companies were waiting for the end of the year to dump as many people as they could.

Frankly, the distinctions of “white” and “black” are meaningless. They are pseudoscience; think back to the old Jim Crow laws which determined that, depending on the state, you were “white” if you had less than 1/32nd or 1/64th “black blood.” If the “black” person who gave you that “black blood” was themself 1/32nd or 1/64th “black,” you were, to all intents and purposes, “white,” in any way except legally.
It’s nonsense. But what is truly ironic is that it is the “liberals” who are now obsessed with whether someone is “white” or “black” and whether, if “black,” they are behaving as the “liberals” think a “black” person should behave. It is an ongoing revival of Jim Crow by the Left, the more pernicious because there are not legal standards, only defamation standards, by which this “blackness” can be determined.

Not many people realize that the Celtic peoples, who originated as a distinct group in Northwestern Europe, actually migrated across the European continent, some even settling in Anatolia (the Galatians) and in Persia (the Galesh) and were for the most part assimilated by surrounding well-established groups. This in part accounts for fair features in Asia Minor, the Levant, and the Iranian Plateau. Of course, the Gothic migrations into Eastern Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa left a genetic imprint as well, as did the Islamic slave trade of white Europeans. And it would, of course, be idiotic to discount the reality that light phenotypes in the Near East may predate such intermixture; after all, the Apostle of the Arabian Moon God was described as a white man, and many Middle Easterners could pass off as Southern Europeans easily. (Look at Bashar al-Assad — the man’s quite pasty in complexion!) Even today, many “Turks” in the Ankara region (the heartlands of ancient Galatia) have fair features, and we all know of the Kabyles of Northern Algeria. Even the Nazi Mufti al-Husseini (y’mach shemo vezichro) had red hair and blue eyes, which earned him the title Ehrenarien [Honorary Aryan].

The Progressive movement is historically seeped in Eugenics (see Margaret Sanger for a prime example)…the latter is like a leech attached to the arm of the former.
And if race were an actual, identifiable, empirical concept, what would determine different human races? Skin color seems obvious at first, but it’s extremely arbitrary, given the phenomenon of clinal variation…would nose shape/placement of nasal bridge be a good identifier?
It’s all so flaky…but it suits the doctrine of the plundering slave-merchants on the Left so well…
“Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man’s genetic lineage—the notion that a man’s intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.
Racism claims that the content of a man’s mind (not his cognitive apparatus, but its content) is inherited; that a man’s convictions, values and character are determined before he is born, by physical factors beyond his control. This is the caveman’s version of the doctrine of innate ideas—or of inherited knowledge—which has been thoroughly refuted by philosophy and science. Racism is a doctrine of, by and for brutes. It is a barnyard or stock-farm version of collectivism, appropriate to a mentality that differentiates between various breeds of animals, but not between animals and men.
Like every form of determinism, racism invalidates the specific attribute which distinguishes man from all other living species: his rational faculty. Racism negates two aspects of man’s life: reason and choice, or mind and morality, replacing them with chemical predestination.”–Ayn Rand

From the point of view of the collective leadership a retiree is a liability to the collective. The good of the collective requires the reduction of such liabilities as early as possible. Thus it is in the best interest of the collective to encourage self-termination by the elderly and the seriously or terminally ill. And it is also in the best interest of the collective to abort those fetuses that will not grow up to be productive workers in the collective.
And then there’s the notion, which has bubbled up from the open sewer of Garrison Keillor’s mind, that medical services be cut off from opponents of the Left. After all, why waste resources on what the Left looks upon as diseased animals?
But what do I know? I only look at reality as it actually is.
