The worst part of this disgusting racism is that it is a direct response to Barack Obama
He shattered all their myths about the black man and they are still pissed. They do not intend to give up one inch of their hundreds of years of entitlement.
Fuck all racists everywhere!

I lived in Mississippi for several years. Their (the right-wing white voters) obsession with the Antebellum era, the Confederacy, and the Civil War cannot be overstated.
The best part is, 98% of white households in the Antebellum years didn't own a single slave - and many, in fact, lived worse than the slaves themselves.
Slaves, after all, were valuable property, and as such needed at least basic care. White trash, on the other hand, weren't anything to anybody.
Nevertheless, their descendants still think it was some kind of Eden they were cast down from "because of Linkin' an' the n***ers."
Look away, look away.
Slavery is one of the darkest periods of US history and it is exemplified by the chattel slavery of the Southern States up to the Civil War, but Slavery in the North was not fully abolished until 1804, just 56 years prior to the Civil War. Pennsylvania was the first territory to do so just prior to the Revolution in 1775, but Massachusetts, the 2nd state didn't do so until 1780. Again, that was abolishing slavery, not the attitudes that made it possible. Racism and racial discrimination was and has been rampant in traditional "free" states as well.
We cannot put racism and White Supremacy on one area of the county (though I fully acknowledge that politically it is more acceptable in the region known as the "Deep South"
Race is an American problem not a Southern problem.
Go to Idaho, parts of Washington state, hell, parts of California are racist as all get out.
We have to, as an entire nation, deal with the issue of White Supremacy and racism.
In their own ways Bush and Trump are myth shatterers - the myth that white guys could never be this bad.
It's all too soon forgotten that PBO was a black president by skin color only. He's 50% white, 50% black.
Not many in the GOP fully grasp this fact. They only see skin color.
and I don't mean reggae - I mean African blood 
Welcome to it.
No (legal) slavery yet (outside the prisons)? Just give Barr & Co. some time to invent a way to abolish or circumvent the 13th Amendment and away we go!!!!!
Never forget the multiple GOP disasters the last real President (Obama) inherited and where things stood when he left--despite eight years of traitorous GOP obstructionism in the Congress. No surprise that the racist, privileged, GOP do-nothings felt threatened by all that competence.
