My Beef with Michelle Malkin: The "Conservative of Color" and Contradictions
By Charles Chea
posted September 2, 2004
First and foremost, I have to admit that Michelle Malkin and other conservatives of color are able to make good arguments at times. Likewise, many liberals of color are capable of doing the same as well. Additionally, in this dynamic, it must be realized that both sides are capable of screwing up. In the rage of political defense and in the attempt of creating a near-invincible forefront for our arguments, we forget that we are human beings capable of saying things which are right AND wrong (thus why I am reluctant to use political party affiliations for myself).
That said, Malkin is quite capable of defending her arguments -- as she has at www.michellemalkin.com. I can not deny the error in which she checked Greg Robinson and Eric Muller for (when they responded to her historical examination of Japanese American internment in In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror; which can be found here and here), but I also cannot deny her error when she predisposes the psychology and sociology of race and makes it an absent reference in her writing. Greg Robinson, Eric Muller, and other scholars of history and policy may folly with her in a debate over the choices made within history, but race was not born from and is not mainly a subject of history. It is an element of choice, influenced by a racialized society, and greatly depends upon the general convictions of a whole nation.
