Essayist sees institutional racism, white privilege in 'A Christmas Story'
December 25, 2014
In a tweet issued early Wednesday morning, Parker Molloy, an essayist whose
work has appeared in a variety of liberal outlets including The Advocate,
Rolling Stone, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Salon, and Talking
Points Memo, says the movie "A Christmas Story" presents a picture of
"institutional racism" and "white privilege." The tweet, Twitchy noted,
caused quite a stir.
Molloy admits the movie is fictional, but says no one cautions the
protagonist -- a young boy named Ralphie Parker -- that police might shoot
him dead for playing with a toy gun outside. This, she claimed, "is the
reality for white children..." Black children, however, do not live in that
world, she asserts, citing the tragic shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice.
"This is white privilege," she said. "This is institutional racism."
"Brutally honest analysis like that is going to make it a lot more difficult
for sofa-bound racists to enjoy all 24 hours of TBS’ 'A Christmas Story'
marathon," the Twitchy staff said. Others reacted somewhat differently.
"Mother of God," one person tweeted. "Give me a break," another person
added.
One Twitter critic said the essay was a "fitting note on which to end 2014,"
a year marked with racial riots, calls for Communist revolution, genocide
and dead police officers. "Once again," another Twitter critic said,
"welcome to Planet Crazy People."
"You are out of your tiny shiny mind," one person said in response to her
tweet. "Did you really get paid to write this, or are you part of some
collective hive mind?"
"A bunch of racist Conservative/Libertarian types are really mad about this
tweet of mine from earlier," she said in response to the criticism her
message sparked. "Chill out, Conservatives," she added in another tweet,
saying that "there are lessons from that movie that can be applied to modern
times."
"Talk about seeing racism in anything and everything," one person said in
response to her name-calling. As we have reported many times, liberals have
found racism in practically everything.
In September 2012, for example, a Portland school principal claimed she
could spot racism in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. A year earlier, an
education consultant claimed white paper could possibly cause children to
become racists. Liberals have also argued that discussing Ebola or the
American Revolution is racist, and dry asparagus prompted charges of racism
against a grocery store. The Tea Party, liberals argue, is racist because it
opposes Barack Obama's agenda, even though the pro-Constitution movement has
helped elect black conservatives like Tim Scott and Mia Love. Jane Close
Conoley, president of one of the largest public universities in the country,
said earlier this month that light skin and higher income "may attract
significant unearned privilege."
"This privilege can manifest itself in numerous ways that afford automatic
trust, deference, and security," she wrote. "Those who are less affluent
with darker skin or from other cultures can be targets of micro to macro
aggressions, distrust, and low expectations for behavior."
Translation: White people are inherently racist, and they're born that way.
The Washington Post piled on with a similar thesis in an article claiming
that "white Americans show subtle or 'implicit' biases against blacks --
biases they mostly don't even realize they have." In short, according to
liberals, white people are doomed to be racist whether they really are or
not. This, it seems, appears to be the latest liberal craze -- condemning
all white people based solely on the color of their skin. Most would say
that, in itself, is racist, but it seems liberals don't agree.
So, is it okay for white people to enjoy a movie at Christmas that features
a young white boy getting the present of his dreams? Molloy apparently
thinks so, telling one person who asked if he could still enjoy the movie to
"go for it."
