In reply to the discussion: Must be quite a shock to see this vulgar return of overt white racism [View all]Solomon
(12,652 posts)13. I knew as a child, when i first heard the words "all men are created equal", that the shit was going to hit the fan one
day. I just didn't imagine it would look like this. That it would be this bad. And it is bad. I was far from fooled about Obama being elected means we're past it. White folk have always hired black folk to clean up a mess. Obama might as well have been a janitor mopping the floor. I took note that police were shooting black men in the head and in the back when he was president. I felt bad for Obama because I think he knew it was because of him. Too bad there's so many people who don't believe the laws of physics. When a white mates with a non-white, another non-white is produced. They will never be able to make America, all white. But they believe they can. And if they can't, they want to stay in charge as a minority.

A shock. Not at all. On the contrary. I've been WARNING about it for at least a DECADE now.

Nice story. Sometimes it takes just one real encounter to understand that we are all one, all the same.

True dat. This explains the history of modern American racism. We've gone back to the future.

As someone born an raised in the south, my reply is to ask "What do you mean, 'return'?"

More of our electeds and candidates must do a FAR better job of denouncing, demonizing, and delegitimizing...

Not a shock. The racism never left. Like cockroaches, they hide in the shadows awaiting the dark

Seems not too long ago comments like this would get a rash of shit from southerners claiming the north is just as racist

Sheathing for eight years with a black president their brains filled with putrid puss.

But as long as slavery existed, those dipshits wouldn't be on the lowest rung of the socio-economical ladder.
