The definition of superstition: a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation.

Given that definition, may we not say that concerns about racism have become a superstition for the Left? They see racism as a malevolent spirit that prowls the United States, looking for victims, and viciously attacking them without warning. All evils that prevail in minority communities and all misfortunes that befall minority communities are attributed to the actions of this spirit. Factual evidence is not required. The Left simply assumes that when bad things happen to minorities (who are, by their nature, innocent) that the fault cannot be their own.

In the 19th century, parents used the fear of such spirits to encourage children to be obedient. (For an entertaining read, please find Jame Whitcomb Riley's poem, 'Little Orphan Annie', which contains the famous reprise 'The goblins will get you, if you don't watch out!') The Left uses a similar superstitious fear to manipulate and control minorities, and to bind them ever closer to their protectors in the Democrat Party.

And of course there is the wisdom of sedonaman:

Last week I went to my first Tea Party meeting, and one speaker warned that we would all be vilified. The thought occurred to me that the reason the Left is spending so much energy on this vilification is that the Tea Party is being EFFECTIVE. By contrast, how much does the Left spend on the American Nazi Party or the KKK? Zero.

Boy gotta point.
