Today's zombie racist: John Derbyshire

Pam Spaulding highlights a post of Derbyshire's wherein he laments the fact that white people don't hire blacks as servants anymore.

[T]here are probably a lot of black American women who wouldn't mind working as maids in prosperous white households, as used to be commonplace. I'm willing to bet, though, that there are large numbers of white people who would much rather not have a black maid. Not, again, because they fear a black maid would harm them, or be lazy or dishonest, but just because they would not feel comfortable in a master-servant relationship with a black person, after all the guilt-trip propaganda of the past 40 years.

Not the employer, mind you, but the Master -- his words. Guilt trip propaganda. Oh, yes, that's right -- Brown v. Board of Ed., Rosa Parks, Voting Rights Act -- that propaganda. Sorry about that, Derbyshire.

Sh*t -- I'm also saddened that you can't have a guilt-free existence, John, going back to a time when Uncle Ben or a big black Mammy just smiled, shuffled and jived, and sang happy Negro spirituals, happy as clams as servants -- and you could be the Master.
