He was on MSNBC on a panel and when he said that I could see the expressions on the two black woman's faces.But he's 110% right people just want to ignore it and don't talk about it.

I'm sick of hearing right wing racist bigots using the term "race card". I say 'use' the race card. Use it every day. "Their using the race card." is nothing more than code words for, "I'm racist and we are not going to discuss it!"
Funny how thieves, liars and bigots want to avoid discussing they're thievery, lying and bigotry.
