PLATFORM : Scapegoating?

Sister Souljah hasn’t been elected to anything. She’s just a rap artist trying to make a living. Why would someone like Clinton take issue with her? I didn’t see many whites taking David Duke to task publicly and he is a racist. How can you apply that term to her? I don’t think Sister Souljah has joined any organization that has as a goal the annihilation of a race of people.
And why are white folks so eager to call black folks racists? Is this a scapegoat thing we are witnessing, a guilt trip where they need to find in someone else something comparable to their own sins? The truth is that they cannot accept their racism, their (own) discriminatory treatment of blacks.
Blacks haven’t done anything comparable to the kind of racist, genocidal treatment they’ve received in this society.
