They spew racist crap all the time,they just use code speak to do it.
Really? Please share some examples of their supposed code-speak?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's excited about knowing more info about your magic Racist Rosetta Stone that translates racist code-speak into English. Where can I get one of your magical Racist Rosetta Stones?

Huh? That answer is totally nonsensical, especially considering 'redistricting' is undertaken by both the Left and Right depending on who's in power; 'Affirmative Action' is a Liberal invention.

LOL... Curious... Are 'lamp shades' also a racist term? How about 'tube socks,' 'socket wrenches,' and 'door knobs??' Because those words are nonsensical too.

A perfect example of pretending white racism exists in every nook and cranny to avoid being confronted by the reality that the biggest problems blacks have is the behavior of blacks.

Not so fast! -- Only a minority of people of color act that way, but a loud, foolish, and very ugly one.

The verwhelming majority of African-Americans with whom I work and deal have behaved witth dignity and respect through this embarrassment, regardless of opinions regarding Martin/Zimmerman.

To all of them, our thanks.

Well said...and let us not forget that between, cable, radio and social media, it gives a lot of extremists platforms. At the end of the day, America is browning, and that doesn't sit well with a lot of folks.
