Rainbow Coalition Racism

[gloriajn]

Racism is not a forest; racial slurs pelted at black Republican candidates are not trees falling silently. People hear them, people see them and they are coming from a Democrat near you. Yes, the Rainbow Coalition party has a dirty little secret: racist practices against blacks who dare to speak differently.

Discuss.

What?!? You mean you want us to treat you like independently thinking human beings and not assume that you should have a particular political ideology based on the color of your skin? Are you crazy!?

Hey waitaminute...is that Oreo thing meant to suggest that just because I'm white, that I must be a Republican cracker like Bush and the rest? Now I'm offended!

What a stupid, unfocused article. There's a difference between racism and being mean/rude to someone. And why are these people acting as if B/black conservatives didn't happen before Condi? Good Goddess...

Racism isn't about fear, but power. Xenophobia is about fear... you know what, G? There's too much stupidity in this article for me to pick it apart the ways it needs at 3:12 am.

I mean, it isn't as if Republicans love B/black people or anything....

Any concious B/black person realizes neither Repubs OR Dems have our best interests in mind anyway...

"How else can you explain Lt. Gov. Michael Steele of Maryland being pelted with Oreo cookies at Morgan State University in Baltimore?"

It didn't happen. Steele or someone close to him made it up. They've admitted it.
