Do you want some cheese and crackers with that whine, wingnuts?
[rebelmouse-image 24749021 original_size="500x562" expand=1]The inevitable "how dare you call someone racist just because they're racist?" drivel is starting up. And as usual, I can't believe the nerve of some people. This isn't a case that has a lot of ambiguity. This isn't an example of people having unexamined privilege but good intentions, people making embarrassing errors because of ignorance, or even a matter of structural racism. This is a matter of people writing things like "Robbin' for the Hood" on signs at 9/12 rallies. It's in-your-face racism from people who enjoy making deliberately racist comments to provoke liberals, and who sincerely and overtly think that non-white people are dirty, stupid, and lazy. That they'll make exceptions to the rule doesn't they're not racist, and the fact that they don't make an exception for the President disinclines me to think that they're as good at making exceptions as they probably think they are.
