7. So, you mean to tell me with a straight face that the Clinton campaign isn't
taking advantage of racist practices?

Really?

They are just innocent of all that's been going on?

That's some real powerful disbelief you have.

8. Yes.
And the Clintons have been playing the race card since at least 92 and no doubt before that in Arkansas. They're pretty good at it, or at least they used to be.

13. Bill Clinton is in the Arkansas black hall of fame. That is before Obama played the race card
That wasn't surprising either. Obama played the homophobia card just a few months earlier and in the same state (SC). His numbers began to move in SC after he began to use race and homphobia.

14. Look, I remember Sistah Soulja and Ricky Ray Rector.
The guy's a racist hack and don't try to tell me he isn't. His wife is even worse, which fits the pattern.

12. Well, there are people out there who are racist...
and some of them are customers.

and the customer is always right, right?

We are only as accommodating as our most neurotic and unreasonable customer requires us to be.

15. Depends on the "practice", and how you define racism.
Fat guy with a mustache, as a pizzeria mascot?
