Why do Whites Hate Blacks.


I thnk the writer is painting with too broad a brush, but there's a deep truth at core in this essay. "It is about white self-image." Just look at the current GOP primary. All those dog whistles and in some cases blatant white privilege-serving race baiting? Granted, the GOP has no new ideas, never mind any good ones. So why not play the white is right self image boosting card?

Shit. Rush Limbaugh has doubled down yet again with calling the Obamas uppity niggers -- this time by throwing the dictionary meaning of the insult at them, instead of the word uppity. He says the Obamas like living high on hog with out working for it. Yep. That's the same as calling them uppity niggers. And I hope some major media outlet or player calls him out on it.

This is Election 2012. This is the year the racist revanchists are going to field their last desperate attack. We have to fight back hard. And part of that is knowing what game these right wing, redneck racists are playing.
