It's not about racism (warning, vile, racist, hateful, pathetic trash).

I post it because these people should be shamed for their racist trash. I know some will find this too hard to read, and question the point - but we need to out these fuckers at every turn so that when they dismiss the 'racism', we can throw it in their faces that it does, in fact, exist.

.. to their drinking or golf buddies.

Quietly. Looking around as they said it.

Now... with the Tea Creatures out from under their rock...
people are disinhibited from saying the most insanely racist and stupid things.

The Tea movement has given legitimacy to the racists.

It will take decades to overcome this rebirth of public racism.

AS they would have a hard time hiding their hatred. It's done just that. I have a coworker who isn't afraid to say Obama is a Muslim. I've gone to HR on that one.

Every single one of them should be sent to an island where the only ones they can hurt are themselves and each other.

And they think they represent 'Murica because their FB group has a little flag icon? Well whoop-de-fucking shit.
