I'll admit that I'm not up on her day to day speeches, but I will say that there are many subtle racist messages in today's political discourse. I see the results in many people's thinking, some of it here, in discussions. Such as the notion that poor or unemployed people are lazy. This plays on old racial stereotypes going back a century. Many words have been loaded or coded, with historical images, such as the word 'welfare'.

But to be honest, I think that it's more about social segments today than it is race. So called conservative vs so called liberals. It helps conservatives to have Blacks identified with the 'liberal' philosophy. That way they can double use racist stereotypes and apply them to all people who voted for Obama, or support Democrats.

Funny thing, those that invaded another country on the premise of exporting democracy, are now crying that their rights are being trampled because they became the minority in the democratic process. I think the US was being more like Hitler when they invaded a country under false pretenses, rather than when the government moved to try to provide healthcare for 20 million, uninsured Americans.

She's racist because she said "small towns are real america"?? Wtf are you drinking? You saying their arent blacks living in small towns?? Typical liberal spinning!

No one is getting worked up over Glenn Beck. What we're seeing is liberals becoming hysterical over the coming blood baths in the november elections. It won't be a good election year for the liberal status quo.

Btw, I realize your Queenie side likes to stir the drama, but if you really don't want to be grouped according to your skin color, then you shouldn't do it to other people.

PS- The term "civil rights" technically has zilch to do with the color of your skin, but instead refers to the individual rights, privileges, and immunities of citizens and residents of a nation.

This isn't directed at your comment: to paraphrase Malcolm X, "civil rights" are BS; Human Rights are something you're born with that can't be taken away. As long as you fight something in Uncle Sam's jurisdiction (civil rights), you're fighting it on his terms. "he's the criminal, he created the problem. You don't take your case to the criminal, you take your criminal to court". When African-Americans fought for their rights in this country, who were they fighting? When this government disagreed with a policy, they went into that country and took care of it. The government could have stepped in during the 1920s when African Americans were being lynched at a horrific rate.

Actually, a lot of people in this audience have legitimate grievances.
They are deeply religious. And work hard. And they don't understand why things are going so badly. And they are looking for answers.
