Funky Father Pfleger Does "Vanilla Ice"

Father Michael Pfleger of Chicago has been the focus of national attention since he delivered a racist "hate whitey" rant to Barack Obama's all-black congregation. Yes, Father Pfleger has demonstrated his bonafides as an authentic angry black. He did this through his afrocentrism, embrace of black liberation theology, detest for America and his anti-white racial animosity. There's just one problem: Father Pfleger is white.

Yesterday we explored the theme of radical priest Father Pfleger in his role as the new Al Jolsen (i.e. in "blackface"). Today Michelle Malkin referred to Pfleger as "Vanilla Ice." I had to laugh at that -- Vanilla Ice was a white rapper who co-opted the black street culture's monopoly on rap. Like black rappers, this white rapper danced around the stage like his butt was on fire, shooting out words from his mouth as if from a machine gun. Black rapper fans hated Vanilla Ice and he was the butt of many jokes. Vanilla Ice could do rap as well as anyone, but he wasn't authentic. He wasn't the "real thing."

Like Vanilla Ice, Father Pfleger does a good imitation of the angry black subculture, but that's all it is -- a form of pandering, of patronizing.

In any case, I whipped out my Photoshop tools and Voila! That's Father Pflger above as "Vanilla Ice." Groove for us, Father! Funky, funky!

Update: Pastorius from Infidel Blogger's Alliance sent me this great rap, dedicated to Father Pfleger:
Now the congregation is jumping
With the Ice on stage all the babes are pumpin'
Quick to the point to the point no faking
I'm cooking Kafir's like a pound of bacon
Spitting out grease with that ice ice flavor,
That's how I rolls in my Rolls, Father Pfleger
With my homies, Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright,
Says they likes me, even if I'm all white
Ice, Ice, Baby

Here's a video of Vanilla Ice

And here's Jim Carey's imitation of Vanilla Ice (this may be the video that inspired Father Pfleger!)
