I assumed it was obvious enough from Silber's words to let them speak for themselves on that matter, but I suppose I should have spoken more on how denial is less personal and more systemic first as a prelude.Quantum Tubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409114140434029863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202360842882817878.post-1456776385315625382010-07-21T22:37:34.160-07:002010-07-21T22:37:34.160-07:00I believe we disagree in the definition of the ter...I believe we disagree in the definition of the term "racist," but that is semantics. However, in your quote by Silber where he identifies Obama as a racist, I think it's important to point out that he's saying Obama's racism is toward Black people; he's really calling Obama an "Uncle Tom." Most whites would assume that if Obama is racist he is racist toward whites, that being, of course, of what Glenn Beck, et. al., accuse him.

Although I like the Glen Beck quote thrown in sarcastically. However I think you should have further explained the minimum wage laws and gone into further detail about affirmative action programs and how racists like to play the victem with the idea of "reverse racism."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399787937402945446noreply@blogger.com
