Intershame On: Racism at Protests |
Yes, Virginia, there is Right-Wing Racism
09/21/2009
If there need be only one example of right-wing racism to satisfy president Carter's hypothesis that "some" of the vile directed towards president Obama is motivated by race then let this sign be that proof...

To make things worse, not only do we have the backwards redneck old school racism (example in pic), but we have the snooty WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) form of discrimination, too. If you're not evangelical non-denominational, Southern Baptist, or United Methodist around these parts, many of the WASPs tend to look down on you. I almost forgot about the assholes who treat Hispanics like shit (Mexicans are the new "n-words."). We're so fucked up in this area, especially Denton County. I remember during the first presidential election cycle after I moved to this area from South Texas, I went to a Republican precinct convention. I was shocked at the blatant racism and immeasurable ignorance displayed during those horrific three hours. I ended up going to the county convention, and it wasn't any better. Those fucktards were bitching and moaning about the need to boot the UN from American soil because it was the most obvious route for terrorists to enter the country (we know that's wrong), and how Clinton was trying to take their guns. Nevermind about any other pressing issues, but these militia goons were fixated on inconsequential topics--not unlike the more vocal representatives of the current Republican Party. LOL
