Mitchell Gate Day 1

This is the first official day since I called for racist Sun Times columnist to be fired. Mitchell, who's notorious writing includes this nugget

Whites don't get it, blacks do, and it's time to move on

published her most recent piece yesterday. While the piece has only subtle allusions to her standard issue black superiority and separationist ideologies, it was long on personal attacks on specific folks. Here is how she described Hillary

But I am also sick of Hillary Clinton's high-pitched screech and her phony
laugh.

And her pantsuits are really getting me down. There's nothing that reminds a woman more of her matronly status than seeing a peer in a brightly colored pantsuit that tries, but fails, to camouflage her spreading hips.

Hillary's know-it-all attitude is irritating, but I am especially fed up with her "I'm the luckiest woman alive to have a husband like Bill" routine that she launches into whenever she wins a state.

Here is how she views John McCain

But I'm also sick of seeing John McCain wave to a room of white supporters.

Even though did he visit New Orleans' devastated Ninth Ward, which is predominantly poor and black, the clips that we see most often is of McCain and other whites. Well, I did see some footage of McCain with a black man, but the man was really old, and looked too much like a servant in a plantation-era movie.

Mitchell's classless behavior takes on a new low when she even cynically attacks McCain's wife...

And I'm already tired of McCain's ram-rod, every-hair-in-place, toothpick of a wife.

In many ways, her pieces remind me of most of my fraternity mates only they were racist against African Americans and most importantly they didn't get paid for their racism.

It's interesting because most of the racists I have met felt superior to others in general. I certainly get the same general impression of Mitchell. From much of her writing she isn't merely a racist, but she just generally feels superior to others. There is a certain obscene chutzpah in someone proclaiming to be so cynical and fed up with the process when all the contribute is vile, filth, and divisiveness to that process.

The print edition of the Sun Times today had a plethora of interesting advertisers that must be made aware that their advertising dollars are supporting a racist. The advertiser that needs to be contacted most is Cook Brothers Warehouse because their ad is found opposite to the reactions to Mitchell's column yesterday. Here is their contact information.

As you might expect, the list of advertisers in the Sun Times is rather eclectic. National retailers like ABT, US Cellular, Macy's and Nikon share space with local retailers like Golf Mill Ford, Razny Jewelers, and Park Place Homes. Any advertiser that continues to sponsor in the Sun Times is not only giving tacit approval to her racism but they help subsidize it.

Enough is enough. Here is a copy of the email I sent Cook Brothers.

In today's Chicago Sun Times your ad was facing the page that had the reactions to Mary Mitchell's latest column. Mary Mitchell is a racist and she has made a career out of spewing racist vile. Just recently she started one of her colums like this

"White people don't get it, black people do, now it's time to move on"

Last week, her column had this passage in the middle,

"At a time when African Americans are on the cusp of watching a barrier come crashing down, up jumps a divisive issue that is being driven by those outside of the black community.

...

There is no institution in the black community more respected than the black church. And the notion that white pundits can dictate what constitutes unacceptable speech in the black church is repulsive to most black people."

This sort of racist and separtist filth is much of what is wrong with our national discourse, and it wouldn't be tolerated if Mitchell were white. Yet, she is given a free pass for it because she is African American.

Enough is enough, and she must be held to account. Racism is racism and I don't believe your advertising dollars should go to subsidize a racist. I hope you concur. I hope to hear from you on this. I am starting a campaign to finally hold her accountable and I hope you will do what's right and withhold advertising from the Sun Times until they deal with Mitchell properly.
